This is one of the greatest resorts in SoCal. You do not feel like it’s a staycation. The grounds are immaculate, the staff and service was so accommodating and nothing was a problem. It is absolutely an expensive place, but if they keep up this level of service and kindness it’s worth every penny. I came with my little kids and they had an absolute blast. The Colosseum pool was so comfortable and kid friendly.

The Resort at Pelican Hill is an excellent way to get away and relax. The property is beautiful, the staff is professional and courteous. We rented a villa for my family and it was great to all be in one room in such a lovely facility. I'll definitely be back some day

Stayed in a 4 bedroom villa for a family get together weekend and it’s extremely overpriced for what it is. You will find far more value in the local area (Newport or Laguna) booking a house as you will pay less for a place with its own pool or even on the beach. The pool at the villas didn’t even have a bar and it’s a bit of a hike up a hill to get there. Cleaning service attempted to come 2 nights in a row at 9pm, and check in isn’t until 5pm. Overall very unhappy with our stay and would not go back.
