Reviews and Ratings
My stay at Pelicano Inn was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious, had a bit of a moldy smell due to the beachfront location, which was a downside. However, the service was friendly and responsive, making up for some of the room issues. The hotel's location was great, especially for those who enjoy being close to bars and restaurants, but it could get noisy. The dining experience was a bit lacking, with limited breakfast options. Overall, it's a decent choice with some room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were huge and private, complete with a mini fridge and a modern bathroom. The AC was great, and there was plenty of hot water. I especially loved the private front patio and access to the beach club with a fantastic affordable restaurant and bar. However, it was a shame that there was no hair dryer available in the room, and it was a bit inconvenient to have to be outside of the room to use it. The location was perfect, overlooking the sandy beach.
I loved the location of the hotel, right by the beach and just a block away from Quinta Avenida. The rooms were basic but clean, and the staff was friendly. Sadly, the dining experience left a lot to be desired with poor quality food.
