It was breathtaking and we cannot thank them enough. You can also order food through them, which we did as I didn't want to lift a finger. They provided all utensils, glasses, and even a Bluetooth speaker. I cannot say enough about their company. I highly recommend them.

Although it is true that they only provide a handful of toilet paper and towels I would recommend bringing your own soap, towels, TP, and even blankets.

Aside from the great view, you will love those nights coming back from the beach and jumping in to the jacuzzi to relax. Will come back again for a third year to pelican beach! *Some photos are with drone*

The 'private beach' was covered in trash everyday. It was very sad and disappointing to see all the…read moretrash. My family and I spent mornings picking up trash because it was so bad. I would never stay at Pelican Beach Resort again nor would I recommend it to any one! The staff was very unhelpful and lacked communication. The code to my room was changed in the middle of my stay without notice or explanation. Then, I was charged additional fees due to a broken door that was NOT our fault. I attempted on two different days to speak with someone regarding this issue in person before leaving and no one would get back with me. I kept being told, "It's being reviewed." I am still, after 24 hours of leaving a voicemail with the Rental Manager, waiting a return call. The first night we were there, security shut down all the pools at 8pm because there was some type of party beforehand and they did not want those people coming back to the pool. Instead of kicking those people out, they closed the pools to all the other paying guests. My experience was absolutely NOT worth the price we paid to stay at a resort with a private beach.
