Southern California's Mediterranean climate makes it a welcoming host for the cypress, lavender, Canary palms and 100-year-old olive trees that flourish on the grounds of Pelican Hill Resort, turning ordinary luxury into a trip to another continent. The resort's architecture is modeled after the work of 16th Century Italian master Andrea Palladio, while modern villas and bungalows feel like home.

I went for a birthday trip and they did not let me down. Completely A+ in everything they did. Shaun the main bar bartender was such a great guy. Thank you Ethen for the upgrade, the room was great. Outstanding service by the housekeeping staff!

We stayed here over a weekend for a staycation. From the moment that you enter the property, it is as if you are whisked away to an Italian paradise. From the stunning ocean view lobby to the guard gated rooms, every detail is perfect. The spa offers complimentary access to guests of the resort to use the facilities such as the steam room, sauna, & whirlpool. The spa lounge offers complimentary truffles which are nothing short of perfect! One thing that truly makes this a stand out property is that it does not feel like a hotel, it feels like a home away from home. The rooms are large & thoughtfully designed with high quality furniture & accents. The gas fireplace was a very nice touch. Every staff member that we encountered was genuine & always willing to help. We are already talking about returning!

I visited this resort recently and, unfortunately, left quite disappointed. Charging $50 for parking (self parking) Felt excessive and set the tone for what turned out to be an overpriced experience overall. The restaurant was underwhelming. there were several mistakes throughout the meal, giving the impression of poor organization rather than a premium dining experience. The food itself was so-and-so: not bad, but certainly not good enough to justify the prices being charged. That said, the views were genuinely great and are probably the resort’s strongest asset.

Always an incredible resort with attentive and friendly staff! Very family friendly, especially for littles. The pool at the villas is wonderful.
