The bungalows, grounds & golf course are gorgeous and all of the service was outstanding. We relaxed at the beautiful heated coliseum pool while our rooms were being made. We only stayed one night to celebrate my birthday and they immediately came with complimentary champagne & chocolates which we thoroughly appreciated & enjoyed. We didn't eat at the hotel so no comment on that. We loved that there was a self-parking lot at the main area & that we could park our car at our bungalow. Lastly, maid service was excellent. We had to rush to get ready for our dinner reservations & so my stuff was all over the bathroom. When we came back, all new fresh towels, our charger chords were tied together, & all my toiletries were laid out nicely. Such a nice touch!!

Celebrating my wife's birthday led us to choose Pelican Hill for a luxurious staycation, and it exceeded expectations. FIVE STARS.
Ahead of our arrival, they fulfilled our request for a microwave and surprised us with a delightful chocolate cake, complete with a personalized note for my wife.
Transportation in luxurious Mercedes SUVs around the resort added to the exceptional experience.
The staff's personalized service, addressing us by name throughout our stay, was a thoughtful touch.
The privacy of the bungalows, free from the typical hotel layout, was highly enjoyable.
Our time at Pelican Hill was truly remarkable, and we're already eager for our next visit.

Our first time at Pelican Hill, won’t be the last. The staff was absolutely amazing. Guest services hit a 10+. Where many resorts fail, Pelican Hill’s ADA room was actually accessible, comfortable and well thought out.

Great resorts, stay away from the Colosseum restaurant for breakfast. The lady manager there is disaster. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. Otherwise, the hotel is lovely.

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

Unbelievable facility, excellent staff. We will most certainly stay here again in the future.
Other five star facilities should visit Pelican Hill to see how it is really done. The best we have encountered.

My wife and I stayed here for a wedding weekend in Newport Beach. After a few days in the Los Angeles/Santa Monica area taking in the tourist sights and fast-paced city life, Pelican Hill proved exactly what we needed to slow down and relax. We arrived early but were immediately warmly greeted and escorted to check-in, where our bags were taken for storage while we were familiarized with the property and made some wedding-adjacent plans with the salon and spa before a lunch at the Coliseum. The food was of good quality but the view took the experience to a whole new level, with the golf course fairway buttressing a view of the Pacific coast, all behind the massive Coliseum pool. A short burst of Southern California rain led to us sitting inside where the accommodations were plenty roomy and regal. After a few old fashions, the staff took us to our room in tidy, washed Mercedes-Benz SUVs. Our room also had been cleaned and neatly organized, with our bellman giving us a full tour of the various amenities. The back terrace had a great view of the ocean and of course the ubiquitous well-maintained hedges of the property. Quiet and well lit but spacious, two lounge chairs and a table with chairs made for a good reading and resting environment for the next few hours. I am coming up on the limit of this review but overall Pelican Hill sets the bar for professionalism and luxury. I will be recommending this as a place to stay for a long, long time, but will certainly return earlier.

The customer service and area of the resort was the best. I think that is what you are paying for. We loved the view each day from our room and pool and main areas. Although the actual property and room seems to be showing it’s age. The hot tub area was very small and there were several broken tiles that just made the area feel unkept. Also the amount of spiders on the walkways and our back patio made us feel very uneasy. Our rooms were made up each day and everyone on the property including house keepers and valet were very friendly. We did notice that they never actually changed out our sheets but just remade them. That mattered to us because we had a beach day and felt like we still had sand in our beds days after. Overall I would stay again just for the view and the service.

We had booked an ocean view bungalow and obviously we paid a lot more than a regular room, we did not have ANY view of any kind as there were some trees right in front of our patio blocking the whole view . Very very disappointing since we wanted to stay in our room and relax but it felt so congested that we had to get out . Also we ordered room service and the food was extremely salty .
