Hotel and grounds are beautiful. The pool is large but it was a little too cool when we were there to enjoy it much. The room was very large and the view is incredible. Would highly recommend.

Resort at Pelican Hill Beautiful Views

The property of Pelican Hill is very good for many reasons to include climate and golf. A few things I did not like. The arrival center (check in etc) is a free standing facility. Guest rooms are in detatched bungalos that require shuttle to every venue. Shuttle drivers are very nice but wait times for a shuttle can be longer than expected. Limited breakfast offerings in very small coffee shop. Expect to spend a lot of money on any activity. Food and beverages are truly California west coast resort prices.

Spectacular golf course, comfortable bed for a restful stay, and excellent poolside service. Unfortunately, some service fell short. At our first dining visit, we were told to seat ourselves and then ignored for nearly 10 minutes. The bartender was fantastic, but the poor start kept us from dining here again. Housekeeping was attentive, but rooms need updating; our sliding door wouldn’t close and visible wear was noticeable. Underwhelming for a 5-star stay.

The stay at this hotel was utterly disappointing! We spent two nights here, but encountered countless bugs of various types, which was absolutely creepy and unsettling. The hygiene conditions were appalling, and these pests completely ruined our family's vacation. Strongly urge the hotel to improve its sanitation management. Cannot recommend!

I went to the spa to see if I could get the hot oil scalp massage ($72), but was told that that treatment was an "Enhancement" to other services. He then said I was welcome to use the sauna or steam. I would think that if a guest comes in and asks for something so simple as a scalp massage, they would be welcome.
