Long weekend
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.

Great place to relax
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.
