The Resort at Pelican Hill

Weeks of catastrophic fires in our beloved city of Los Angeles left my wife and me feeling depleted and in need of rejuvenation. We decided to head to Newport Beach for a stay at Pelican Hill, which proved to be exactly the cure we needed. Everything about this resort is top-notch, from the superb staff to the beautiful grounds, the spectacular views, the excellent food, the spacious, well-appointed rooms, and the overall atmosphere of peace and relaxation. Everyone on the staff whom we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely solicitous of our needs. I didn't get all of their names, but I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to Tara and Madison at reception, Carson the shuttle driver, and everyone at the the Concierge desk and at the wonderful spa. Of the many resorts we've visited and enjoyed, only a few have stood out as exceptional, as places to which we intend to enthusiastically return. The Resort at Pelican Hill is one of these incredibly special places.

We were evacuated due to the fires and they were INCREDIBLE to us and our 4 dogs. One of our 100 pound dogs has a torn ACL and it was really challenging evacuating. Danielle was SPECTACULAR and so helpful and accommodating. She made sure our dog was comfortable and super understanding. I have not had a guest experience like this anywhere. Better than the four seasons. Pelican truly cares about their guests and I have never experienced that genuine care at any other hotel in the world. I hope to be back for something more fun because the property is amazing.

We enjoyed our stay there. We checked in and the staff was nice. The Villa was spacious with a beautiful view. The Pelican Hill, resort is masterfully curated- pool area, views, privacy, bungalows, dining, golf course, etc. Delicious breakfast.

Had a spectacular time. I was absolutely delighted by how well their driver Carson interacted and made us have the BEST possible time on each drive. Never thought that a driver would make my trip better than any other part of it but it sure did. THANK YOU CARSON!!!

Great time great spot, Our guy CARSON was a legendary driver great guy. Went to beach, grill, villas. Always on time and quick great service. Great food great drinks everything was great. Focal point was Carson getting us to where we need to be. Great guy great times.
