Great Location!
Great location beach front and walking distance from the bus station. Friendly staff went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. Delicious local breakfast included made to order and fresh. Perfect beach front Bar to seat and relax at the end of the day enjoying the view. The only pitfall was the Jacuzzi on the 'honeymoon' suite that was not operational, but the views from up there compensated. Will definitively be back!!
Beautiful View from the Honeymoon suite!

I visited this hotel 35 years ago, needless to say, so much of the surrounding area has changed. But the hospitality and feel of this quiet little gem was remarkable. The front desk staff did an exemplary job of giving assistance in a variety situations. The wait staff for breakfast were quick, efficient and friendly. There was a security guard on hand at all hours. The cleaning staff was friendly and for the most part invisible. The rooms are quite zen and clean. We had a spectacular view of the ocean. The hotel provided beach chairs, umbrellas, clean beach towels each day, and great little open air grass topped shade huts. Each room had wi-fi and television that took a little work to figure out but the staff was more than happy to quickly assist. The open air restaurant offered an incredible view and fine options for an inclusive breakfast. I can't emphasize enough how welcome the staff made us feel, quite refreshing after a an action packed day of travel. I say this hotel is a gem and I couldn't be more sincere. This area of Mexico has been inundated with massive high rise swank glittery hotels/resorts that tend to feel sterile. The Pelicano hotel is a throw back to the day when going on vacation was meant to be relaxing and the people who were responsible for your comfort actually cared. If you are looking for an intimate and friendly stay without all the hype, this is your hotel. Keep in mind, it is still the Mexican Riviera and it is at times noisy, but worth it.

Met our needs.
Our stay met our needs. The restaurant breakfast was good, service was great from all staff, even even booked a day early on accident and didn't check in on time. We would've liked having lounge chairs on our patio as well as the beach. The beds were decent though a bit firm for some of us. We felt safe on hotel property and appreciated having a mini fridge. Ventilation in the bathroom would've helped with humidity and smells. We turned off the AC when we were gone all day and the room smelled unpleasant until the AC basically filtered the air. Two keys instead of only one would've been helpful.

The room was basic but very clean. Sheets were on bed but not a blanket and it does say that in amenities. The staff was absolutely great, helpful and very friendly! The restaurant attached to hotel had great food and great service. If I was going back to that area, I would stay there again.

Amazing ocean view. Decent restaurant. Nice staff. A few things could possibly be updated, but for the price, the view alone, makes it worth it. The area around the hotel is extremely crazy busy, but that has nothing to do with the hotel Itself.

Staff was friendly and I appreciate that it was gated. It was quiet despite being just off 5th as well. However front desk quoted us several hundred more pesos for a taxi ride (assuming maybe they get a cut for recommendation and booking) than we ended up paying on the street so go find your own taxi!
