We loved our stay at Pelicano Inn and can’t wait to return next year. The staff is absolutely fantastic! The grounds and beach are beautiful.

Great location and wonderful staff!
The hotel is in a quiet, convenient location, which made for a very relaxing stay. The standout was definitely the staff—everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially during breakfast, which was delicious and well-prepared. While the furniture and room decor feel dated and could use an update, everything else was very good. Not quite a 5-star experience due to the room interiors, but the service and overall atmosphere more than made up for it.

It’s not a place where you would spend a lot of time inside your hotel room. But I strongly recommend it. There are many shopping stores and many restaurants walking distance. The Hotel is right next to the beach and from the restaurant you can view the ocean. Security is great and convenient is a big plus! Many activities in surroundings

Great location and service
Great location and service. Sadly there was seaweed on the beach so couldnt really enjoy it fully. The other beach was completely clean, so hope the seaweed will be dealt with the same way as at Mamitas beach. What I did not enjoy is having one socket in the room placed in a very strange location. Hope this will be looked into at some point as it would really improve the stay

We love the fact that the property is right there on the beach. It's very easy to walk from our room to the beach. We really enjoy the daily breakfast too. It's nice to have bottles of water in the room, and the "welcome" drinks. We plan to return to this property, as we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!!!

Beautiful place. Easy checkin..staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was super. My only comment is its hard carrying 50 pound luggage up the 3 flights of stairs as there is no elevator. Also we were unsure that the entrance was the long hallway..there should be a sign pointing to reception.

This Hotel is right on the beach which made for a very relaxing stay. It’s also very close to 5th avenue and all of the restaurants, so strolling and finding great places for dinner are easy. Can’t beat the Pelicano for the price.

The staff were all friendly and had a lot of good information and generally pleasant and helpful. The property is beautiful and clean. The view from my balcony was fantastic and I loved my room. The included breakfast was good. Despite it being right off Quinta Avenida it was quiet and peaceful.

I loved the way the rooms were built around a central courtyard of trees and seating areas. The white of the surface walls was warm and welcoming. The property had the calm and comfort of an older property — the taste of an older property — I do not at all mean ‘older’ in the sense of dated. The full and large bookcase in the lobby was a pleasure to see. I had good help in arranging a shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and immediate response to a change in arrival that I had to make. Thank you for being such a special place — an oasis even though so close to the activity of 5th Avenue.
