Magnificent in every way - stay at a villa! Service : The service here is unparalleled and should be the standard for other 5 star establishments to strive for . Multiple family members stated it was the best service they ever received at a resort. Often resorts claim to be 5 star but fall short in this arena. I cannot begin to describe how excellent the service was. Every member of the team we interacted with blew us away with their service. From check in to the front desk , pool , hospitality , housekeeping , food and beverage etc. A special thanks to the wonderful concierges Kiara and Eliana . They were incredibly helpful. Room: Stunning. We stayed in a 4 bedroom ocean villa. The place was impeccable and very warm and welcoming. It had Old charm and sophistication. All the rooms were nice and there were 4 bathrooms. The master room was incredible with breathtaking views. The beds were so comfortable I had some of the best sleep I’ve had in years ! The villas are very quiet and there is more privacy. Would highly recommend Property : The property and grounds were impeccable. It’s an expansive and lush property that is expertly manicured. We enjoyed many scenic walks and lovely sunsets. Although the property is large they make everything convenient. It was very easy and fast to get A shuttle should you need one. Food: I was impressed with the pelican grill. Everything we ordered was delicious. Very nice ambiance and of course great service . Golf: I don’t golf but I was certainly able to appreciate the beauty of the two courses . My husband played the south course and really enjoyed it. The T times are however expensive and it’s a busy course Overall a phenomenal stay . Thank you to everyone at the pelican and hope to see you soon ! Read less
