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.

This is truly a world-class resort. The staff was incredible, the pool outstanding, and the on-property dining options were delicious. If you’re a golfer, you’d be hard pressed to find a more beautiful location. The only downside was the temperature in my room (323), which never dropped below 75 degrees. We called maintenance the first night and were told it was functioning as designed. By day three, I stopped by the front desk and they could not have been more apologetic, assuring me it would be looked at immediately. Unfortunately, it was still not working properly when we checked out.

My thanks to Pelican Hill Resort Villas for providing our family of 8, ages 2-68, with a magical three-day weekend. Anyone can see the beauty of the property on the internet, but the stellar hospitality must be experienced. A special thanks to Ms St Pierre❤️

Pelican Resort was wonderful! Glad we choose this property to celebrate my birthday! The staff were wonderful, very helpful and exemplary treatment of Marriott elites. We truly appreciated the wonderful upgrade, spacious suite and the scrumptious breakfast provided. We cannot wait to go back! We live locally, but do once a month staycations and this property will be one of those on repeat. We would like to give a very special thank you to all the wonderful staff. Most especially to these amazing staff: Manager on duty- approved our check in after we explained the wallet/cc issue since it was left at home (very much appreciated the understanding!) Lyni /Ve /Ethan and the text team- very helpful and empathetic front desk team. Check in issue resolved quickly and was very emphatic with the situation, also quickly sorted out our billing/credit issue. We also appreciated the quick app chats/text responses! Very helpful. Ramon/ Manny and the entire in room dining team- super helpful staff, very gracious and really took care of our needs before/ during and even after the food delivery! A++ all around! Gina and the Male housekeeping staff-He ( we forgot his name) promptly delivered the water and blankets we requested. Very courteous man and even offered to fill the fridge for us ! Talk about exemplary service! Coliseum pool Mgr and staff- my wife cannot remember their names but want to extend our thanks. She was taking pics/videos by the upstairs cabanas and the manager discreetly and kindly approached her to see if interested in renting a cabana and to extend any assistance needed, afterwards another staff member also approached her and asked again if she needs anything else. Very pro active approach, and made her feel welcomed even when she was not renting one. Thank you! Spa team- very discreet, always cleaning in the background. Everyone was very courteous, including the check in team and the helpful young lady who informed my wife the driver has arrived for pickup. Andrew- Shuttle driver went above beyond to ensure my wife was escorted to the pool and spa timely. Thank you! A room for improvement to note- the in room dining options can be expanded and the food made tastier. The portions were huge but taste can be improved. We truly appreciate the Pelican team in making sure my birthday and first stay at the resort was wonderful. Thank you for making it truly special. We will definitely come back and have since recommended it to our family and friends. The GM at this resort is blessed with such a caring and exemplary team. BN
