Relaxation Oasis

During our stay, my family and I were absolutely delighted by the spa pool, which provided a perfect way to unwind after a long day at the beach. The atmosphere was so tranquil, and we spent many hours just soaking and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. It truly felt like our own personal oasis!

Stunning Ocean Views

Our Penthouse suite was lovely! Every balcony offered amazing views of the Pacific Ocean, making it a joy to wake up to the sound of the waves. The spacious layout and cleanliness of the room added to our comfort, making it feel like a true home away from home.

Fun For Everyone

The games room was a hit with my son. He loved playing table tennis, and I enjoyed joining him while we had some friendly matches. It's a great facility that kept us entertained while staying at Pelican Sands, and it was fun bonding time for the family.

Great Fitness Options

I appreciated having a full-size table tennis table in the gym area - it was an excellent way to stay active during our holiday. The fitness facilities were clean and well maintained, making it easy to enjoy some exercise while still enjoying our vacation.

7.2/10

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The views from the room were spectacular, with absolute waterfront sights that made my stay enjoyable. However, the rooms feel quite outdated and didn't match the photos I saw online, which was disappointing. The staff were lovely and really made me feel welcome, but the overall environment could use some updating. It's great for families with access to the beach and pools, but the condition of the facilities leaves something to be desired.

Rooms

The rooms were spacious and filled with light, but they were in need of serious updates. The taps and door locks were very corroded, and the overall decor didn't quite reflect what I expected based on the website.

I recently stayed at this resort spa, and while I loved the stunning ocean view and the family-friendly vibe, I found the rooms to be quite dated and in need of some serious attention. The service was fantastic, and I really appreciated the convenience of the grocery shopping service. Overall, it's a decent choice for families, but upgrading the rooms would really enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the view from my room was absolutely stunning, and the beach access was a dream! However, the room itself felt a bit dated and had some maintenance issues. The service from the staff ranged, with a few friendly faces but others who seemed unfriendly. Overall, it was a decent stay but not without its drawbacks.
