The Resort at Pelican Hill

Amazing views. The greens look immaculate. And the pool looks so inviting. Just wish I had time to take advantage of the amenities. Top notch service. Expect nothing less. Their reputation is well deserved. When u want nothing but the best, look no further. Highly recommended.

This resort had become a favorite place to go. They are expensive but a very nice place. We celebrate our anniversary here every year. Get an ocean view room. Much nicer. The rooms are great but I hear that they going to remodel. I hope that they don't go too far. The best pool ever.

Our stay far exceeded expectations. Having originally booked the Ritz and Laguna Niguel, then later saw this resort in the Marriott app, I was immediately curious and called the resort to discover it was a recent Marriott acquisition. 1000% recommend staying here. From the moment we entered the lobby until checking out, I was arrested by the breathtaking sweeping views, the brilliant architecture and amazing design concepts everywhere! The 1BR suite was so spacious (1700sf) and beautiful and felt like HOME! The in-room dining is super convenient, with a plethora of food and drink options for the lazy mornings and evenings that are bound to ensue :-). From the delicious New Year’s Day brunch buffet to poolside dining and the super cute cafe, the food is very well executed and gets a foodie’s thumbs up. Andrea, one of the concierges, is full of wonderful recommendations and suggestions and is lightning quick to offer solutions or helping find reservations at local restaurants. Jason quickly, perfectly and single-handedly served up drinks and food to everyone at the pool that day, despite staffing being short. He and his super chill vibe made our day at the pool so comfortable. Services, food, accommodations, shuttle transportation, amenities, staff/customer service…. All 10/10. The bedding, pillows and mattress are amazingly comfy and supportive! And I plan to call to find where they buy their in-suite sofas…the perfect blend of firmness, comfort and casual elegance imo. I see why thousands of reviews rate the resort 4.8 stars. It’s a 5.0 for me.

We enjoyed our stay there. We checked in and the staff was nice. It was Christmas eve and they gave the kids each a gift from a treasure. They drove us in a Mercedes GLS to our villa. The rooms are beautiful. There were a total of four beds and 3 rooms. There were 3 large bathrooms with each having a shower/bathtub. The kitchen and living area was spacious. They supplied sparkling and regular water bottles daily. We enjoy the food at the coliseum---we ate breakfast and lunch there---the breakfast is a la carte and the french toast is great. We also ate at the clubhouse in the villas. They have continental breakfast---the waffles were good. They provide complimentary coffee and tea in the clubhouse. There is a nice fitness area with treadmills and bikes and weights. The pool is heated at 82 degrees. . There were two Jacuzzis on the premises. I was not able to hit up the spa or the golf course unfortunately due to time constraints. The staff is awesome there. Everybody is helpful and friendly. We plan to stay here again next year.

This is one of the nicest resorts you can stay, in all of California. Perched on the water in a tranquil area with incredible ocean views. The service is top notch. The casitas are excellent, well maintained with no visible wear. The food is great. Service is attentive and they go above and beyond to make sure guests are happy. I asked for water during my stay and they delivered a huge amount, so I didn't have to ask again for the entire visit. Every staff member would stop to greet me, make sure I was enjoying myself and offered to help. Not inexpensive but you can really relax knowing you are attended to. The only minor detractor is the swimming pool is a little shallow. Thats it.
