Great location and close to many things
It was an amazing few days of relaxation with our family. The spacious accommodations provided room and options. Made dinner in our room - the provisions in the room provided everything needed. Highly recommend a stay here if time permits.
Pelican Hill is a beautiful property with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. The staff bend over backwards to make your vacation experience memorable. It is pricey, but they treat guests extremely well
Beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff. Helped us with an early check in and everything else we needed. Kids had a blast at their club house pool. Will definitely come back.
This resort was amazing and top quality. The bungalow room was so spacious and clean. The service was top grade, the resort was impeccable and stunning. The shuttle service to Crystal Cove and back was also a nice addition. Highly recommend.
The Resort at Pelican Hill is an excellent way to get away and relax. The property is beautiful, the staff is professional and courteous. We rented a villa for my family and it was great to all be in one room in such a lovely facility. I'll definitely be back some day
