Pelican Retreat
Pros:

Location, sitting area, staff very friendly baggage carts and coffee good in the am. Parking was perfect.

Cons:

Refrigerator made loud noises at night. Sliding door didn't lock and had a bar for safety. Beds too high, bedding heavy on my 88yo mom. The pillows are ridiculously big and no support. Its lovely to have 4 pillows, doesn't help that your head sunk in the middle. Toilet paper far to reach from Toilet.

Pros:

Building was close to the beach

Cons:

There was no pool even though advertisement show that there was a pool. Bed was very uncomfortable with "potholes" in it. Low shower water pressure.

Had a beautiful weekend
Pros:

This hotel has amazing location beachfront, and the views were phenomenal.

Cons:

I felt that the complementary breakfast could’ve had a few more low-carb options. Not really much to eat if you’re following a low-carb no sugar diet.

Pros:

Cute building and nice positioning by the beach plus trail.

Cons:

No AC! And could not leave slider door open because our balcony was combined with the neighboring unit, no wall or lock for separation. Was not provided the welcome kit that was advertised for pets despite paying the pet fee. The “included breakfast” was grab and go items, should not be considered or advertised as breakfast at all.

Pros:

Proximity to beach. Large rooms. Free parking

Cons:

Nowhere to eat breakfast as the few tables overlooking the car park were being utilised. Get to it early as once it’s gone not refilled. 1 member of staff on checkout desk with no key drop totally inadequate for number of guests.
