Pelican Cove Resort & Marina

Oh my, oh my! I had been wanting to return to this property for a long time. I stayed for mother's day in 2015 with my family and loved everything about this facility. Unfortunately the experience was a bit disappointing as the place is a bit run down. The AC unit in the room was set to 75 so the unit would stop running once it reached 75 in the middle of a summer night! Temps are reaching 105 degrees daily and we were not able to set the temp lower and for a good night rest. Also the water pressure in the shower was non-existent. It took forever for one person to shower and forget about washing/rinsing out your hair, it felt like a 2 hour shower just getting my hair wet. The king sized bed was very comfy but the pillows? they were an absolute joke. There were 5 "baby" pillows on our bed, could not even see them in a King size mattress. We requested "regular/standard" sized pillows from room service but those never arrived. The rinsing stations throughout the pool area did not work and unfortunately the huge floating inflatable trampoline was also no longer there. I did enjoy the amenities offered (kayak, paddle board, pool seemed clean also) and it was very peaceful. We were looking to relax so this was definitely a plus. There are no restaurants on property but the sister hotel next door (walking distance) does have a Starbucks and a Tiki Bar (also very run down). Hopefully management is addressing some of these concerns, I look forward to returning in the future.

Loved the property as the private beach and views are absolutely beautiful. I didn’t like the lack of amenities, the elevator was broken, the small restaurant by the pool opened late and had little to offer. They should have complimentary water and coffee in my opinion. The walk to postcard isn’t far but with little kids it’s also not that close. Views are amazing though so I would stay again.

Very clean and friendly staff. Very relaxing and beautiful place. I would recommend to my family and friends. Loved the small beach we had and amenities that were available.

I liked the location, views, and food. However, the property if runned down and not very well maintained. The rooms are dirty (I found two live roaches in my room 317), the ac is loud, noisy, and leaks. Plus the outdoor railings are missing some saftey bars so if you have small kids or pets that can very easily fall through.

We really liked the property grounds. They did a nice job with the ambiance. They have a nice pool area with tiki bar we enjoyed. Water sports and other activity for kids on the property near the water. The room however was not up to par. Besides the ocean view balcony (favorite part), the room was small, humid and smelled like cigarettes. The AC cranked so loud that it was hard to hear the tv. Floor wasn’t very clean and some towels had makeup stains on them. Luckily we were not inside our room much. The location of the hotel is great with Starbucks right next door and plenty of restaurants nearby.

I was pleasantly surprised at what a great place this was to stay with my kids. When we pulled up, my son let out a happy "are we staying here dad?" and that opinion did not change for our stay. The room was comfortable and included a balcony with ocean view (nice chairs), microwave, mini-fridge, coffee, etc. The grounds were clean and had pool, ping pong, kayaks, fishing, and of course the beach. One of the coolest things at Pelican Cove an onsite fisherman named Patrick who helped kids and adults fish from the shore. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and a good time. Great asset to the place. All other staff were super helpful and pleasant as well. Don't miss out on the "sister" hotels. We visited two of them and they have different feels, but similar amenities. Price for our stay was really competitive. Not sure what it normally goes for. My only regret is that we stayed just one night. Will definitely return again.

Great stay for families. Great staff and nice grounds.

Took them an hour and a half to bring us baby crib, which we asked for in the reservation, again at check in and had to call for two more times. We finally got it around 7pm. They gave us a pack n play with no mattress

We have been staying at Pelican Cove for family vacations for over 6 years & even during the last 2 years during the pandemic. We are so dissatisfied it’s heartbreaking. There is no onsite lobby as they now have rented the space out to a jet ski company but there is no directional signage or an email prior to arrival communicating to guest that they need to go to the Postcard Inn for check Inn. We had called the hotel prior to arrival & was told early check is based on availability & would not be an issue.We arrived early & were told our room is not available until after 4:00pm.There were no cars in the Pelican parking lot, pool was empty,bartender told us it was slow, no one on the beach etc… It made no sense at all if you arrive early and rooms are available or the hotel isn’t full then why should guests wait until 4:00pm. Where is the customer Service?By the way a text came through at 4:02pm telling us our room was ready.After talking to several folks at the Postcard and Pelican looks like they too had the same drill at check in. There is trash all over the Pelican:used towels,cans,debris don’t get picked up at the end of the day so when you awaken with your beautiful views,you wake up to towels laying all over the public beach & pool areas.It’s GROSS!They don’t have pool towel service everyday so you have to go to the Postcard.Ridiculous! We were told complimentary breakfast would be now served at the Postcard Inn, there was no breakfast!!!Overpriced Hotel

My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Pelican Cove. The rooms are tiny (literally room for beds only) however the view, beach amenities, and activity options were our primary reason for staying and lived up to our expectations.
