power outage not Pelican Villas fault, but a standby generator to at least run basic lights and fans due to AC not on in 90 degree plus weather in middle of night.

Breakfast was great. Service was outstanding.

Bed arrangements more suited to 2 couples in this 2 bedroom condo. We were a couple and 2 singles, so one of us slept on a provided (comfy) air mattress in the living room. The property is located fairly distant (about 3 miles) from the San Pedro Ferry Terminal, i.e. town center.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. As I understand it, private condos are managed by a company. It was quiet and beautiful, clean and well-maintained. A dock with hammocks, beach chairs and a small, rocky reef for snorkeling. Pretty little pool. The staff were excellent. Tristan, the concierge(?), was especially helpful and courteous. He helped us arrange a number of amenities (shuttle, golf cart, delivery dinner, dive outing).

The 2 1/2 miles into San Pedro is a little far -- even on a golf cart. But we knew that when we booked.

We liked just about everything. Great staff, rooms, beach, peer, snorkeling, breakfast, pool, bar. We would definitely recommend this place. Our group of 10 stayed in a 2 bedroom & a 3 bedroom.

evening entertainment would have been nice

Breakfast menu had many choices and was very good. The French toast they use cinnamon bread which made for a great flavor. Snorkeling was great- so many fish, sting rays, turtles, eels, and the colors were magnificent. Go to Secrets beach - breathtaking and an easy way to spend the day. Crystal clear water, sand floor and you can walk 300 yards or more out and stay in waist deep clear water.

A bit out of the way - 15 minutes for golf cart to get into town

Well kept, clean, quiet, good location on the water

The steps at the end of the dock leading into water need replacing

Staff was wondering. Very attentive and friendly. Steve the manager made sure we had everything we needed. Enrique and Christian and the bar were top notch. The concierge team was very helpful!!

We had mentioned that this trip was a big one for us. We were celebrating our 60th birthday and they didn’t seem to care. We had taken their shuttle which cost us $37 usa from our other resort - Xanadu and then to the water taxi. Xanadu would have driven us to the pelican for free. But the way the Pelican worded their email, it sounded like they would pick up the shuttle cost for our birthday. Then when we got there, they said no they couldn’t do anything for us. This was disappointing for sure.

The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was very good. Extremely clean. And the reef they have developed at the end of their pier made our snorkeling experience amazing.

Nothing specific

Very clean and well organized

Staff was amazing and saw to your every need. Setting and facilities were perfect. I think it was much better to stay at the southern end where it was quieter and more beautiful rather than in the middle of the town.

This private villas were great. The staff was amazingly kind and helpful. the location was more secluded, which we loved!

Free breakfast,cooked to order. Villa was quiet, not too busy. Excursions were easy to schedule and they picked you up from the pier. You could book anything you needed from guest services.

The patio and bar area were slightly buggy so you needed to use insect repellent, but the resort did offer that and it worked well. Also, like elsewhere in I have been in Central America, I find the coffee to be extremely weak. If you’re an espresso addict, bring your Aeropress. Most restaurants were a 15 minute Golf cart drive away. The roads are not in great condition but we always felt safe and got used to doing this. It did mean that the resort was in a slightly quieter part of town which I liked. If you want to be closer to a large variety of shops and restaurants, definitely pick somewhere else. For us, however it was not an issue. The tours are expensive. Budget accordingly.

The resort is small and intimate with incredibly friendly staff. The beach is stunning. The pool is small, but very very nice with a wonderful view of the sea. There is a long pier that you swing off and an artificial reef at the end, which actually had very nice fish to look at. The breakfast is satisfying and tasty, ordered from a menu. It was incredibly convenient to book a variety of tours directly through the resort for pick up on the dock. Beds were extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place highly, and I’m pretty picky. We had a three bedroom, three bath villa. Two bedrooms on the first floor were queen beds with attached baths, all of which were very nice. The second floor is a huge king bed suite, also with a great bath. The villa has a kitchen and small living room, a balcony, and several TVs. The view was great: I think all units face the ocean.

service levels are top notch - everyone bends over backwards to help and make every guest happy. Food was great too! Our condo was huge and having laundry onsite was so helpful because we came from the jungle very dirty and one of my kids caught a stomach bug so as a mom it was a relief to have the laundry in suite

Stayed in April 2023

great food, had amenities and is in good condition without ever feeling crowded. perfect size for us and incredible to get picked up and dropped off at dock for all activities.

a bit further from town but totally doable with golf cart. just wish there was a way to get into shallow water. there’s a pier but water seemed a bit deep to get into if you don’t know how to swim

awesome facilities and staff

I can’t think of a thing!

First and foremost, the staff! I wish I could remember everyone’s name! Tristan and ALL the staff were attentive, welcoming and so friendly! Our villa was wonderful for the five of us. Breakfast was DELICIOUS! As son as we got home I was looking for tickets to return!
