"Absolutely Fabulous"
My stay at the Resort at Pelican Hill could not have been any more perfect. The staff is always pleasant, the hotel is extremely well maintained and clean, the quality of service in all of the restaurants or cafes is amazing. The location of the resort is situated such that a view of the ocean is available from almost any location within the resort. […] We booked a Bungalow room with a view of the ocean and the room was spacious and clean. I will be staying there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

I love in Orange County and a last minute weekend stay felt like another place! Why take a plane to Hawaii or Mexico when everything is right there.

"Doesn't get any better than this!"
Only hotel stay I've ever had that even came close to this was an over water bungalow in Bora Bora. Every detail was attended to at Pelican Hill. The room was perfect, from the incredibly comfortable bed and linens, to the beautiful fireplace, to the huge soaking tub. The service was impeccable. The worst and only criticism I can come up with is that […] there was nothing to stir the delicious in-room coffee with - that's it! Worth every penny! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pelican Hill Resort"
Absolutely spectacular in all areas! This is truly a five star resort!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Exceptional resort"
This is without doubt one of the best hotels I have ever stayed, and I have stayed at some very very nice places including Halekulani and Ritz Carlton in Hawaii. We stayed in a ocean view bungalow, not a suite, but still the room is very big and easily accomodated our family of four. The beds were very comfortable and the service excellent. The fireplace […] in the room is a nice touch. There is a outdoor patio where you can sit and enjoy the view of the pacific. You also get to park you car right outside your room. The only downside I guess is that there's not much to do at the resort unless you golf. Still a very very nice resort and well worth the money. Would definitely recommend it.

"Truly amazing place!!"
I stayed in a bungalow the night before my wedding and a 3 bedroom Villa the night of my wedding and it was incredible. The service was awesome and everything was luxurious. You get what you pay for at this resort for sure!! I will be back often!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best hotel I ever stayed in."
What a lovely experience. Every staff member was extremely gracious and helpful. Villa was spectacular to say the least. The only issue was low water pressure in the shower. But the grounds are gorgeous, the view of the ocean is breathtaking. What an absolute treat!Genuine Expedia guest review

"amazingly peaceful resort"
Very much impressed with service, comfort and couteous staff. Lacking a little on maintenance due to draining tub problem which prevented the enjoyment of a tub bath for my wife on our anniversary celebration. Aside from that, would certainly come again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great for couples."
beautiful room, we felt as though we were coming home each time we came back to the room. nice view of the ocean. the pelican grille was very good and the waiters and staff were friendly and attentive.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good golfing resort but very pricey"
The resort needs more things to do at the resort, the outside cushions were very dirty and never cleaned. Overall however, the hotel was very nice but for the price of the room could have done much better.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful Resort with Marginal Service"
Pelican Hill is an absolutely gorgeous property with an unmatched location. However, the Irvine Company is much better as a developer than a hotel manager. Service just did not match the quality of the Resort facilities. For example, guests do not have access to an ice machine despite the remoteness of the the bungalos. We called for ice at 10pm on […] a Wednesday night and did not receive for it 50 minutes and we had to call 3 times. I would have been more than happy to walk to an ice machine but one was not available. On another ocasion, we stopped for coffee in the Starbucks-like cafe where we waited 15 minutes to get two regualar coffees. There was one inidividual in line ahead of us getting a modest size order and there were two people helping him.. There was no plausible reason for the delay. Overall, despite the great facilities and location, we would not stay at Pelican Hill again. Its just too much money for such poor service. By the way, when I checked out, the clerk did not ask how we enjoyed our stay ... i assumed they really didn't want to know or care! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Wonderful stay"
Loved the hotel. Stayed in a spacious and well-appointed bungalow room, which offered distant view of the ocean from the large enclosed porch. Bed was luxuriously comfortable. All hotel staff, from front desk to pool attendants to housekeeping, were friendly and professional. Free daily yoga classes were nice. Ate at Andrea restaurant (nice dinner) […] and Coliseum Pool (casual lunch) and food was great. It's about 0.25 mile from the property entrance to the beach (although closer to a mile from the actual guest room), but it's an easy walk. Hope to go back sometime soon.

"Thank You Pelican Hill staff"
I have traveled to alot of Resorts. This one is the best. Our bungalow was spacious and overlooked the garden and the ocean. Our trip to the spa was surperb. We had a massage,pedicure & lunch at the Colise um. It was great. We dined at the Pelican Grill for dinner. It was great. Beautiful views of their golf course overlooking the Pacific Ocean from […] every point we were at. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We rented a car for a day and off to Laguna Beach for a day of shopping all the unique shops. Just can't say enough good. If you want to spoil yourself this is the place to go.
