5/5 - great stay!
Pros:

We booked Pelican Beach Resort & Spa as a last minute 3-night mini break. We are a young couple from the UK.

There is a taxi rank outside the airport which cost €45 and took around 20 minutes to get to the hotel (longer if traffic is busy). It was much cheaper than booking through our holiday company. We hired a car through the hotel reception which was quick and easy with no issues, and also booked our taxi back to the airport through reception just as easily. If you want to explore the area, I'd definitely recommend hiring a car as taxis aren't easy to get.

Check in was quick & easy, and we were shown to our room.
The room we had was ‘Deluxe Double or Twin Room, Sea View, Beachfront (The Pelican Villa)’ on a bed and breakfast basis. The beach villas are on the opposite side of the road from the main hotel, directly overlooking the beach, and the views were stunning. We had two sun loungers outside our room as well as two reserved loungers in the beachfront garden.

The room was spacious, spotless and cleaned every day. We asked reception for extra pillows as there was only one each, which were delivered almost immediately. There is complimentary WiFi and our room had a safe, toiletries and a hairdryer. No iron or steamer.

Breakfast is served in the beachside restaurant. There isn't the huge selection you'd find in a large resort, but there was more than enough choice and everything was fresh.

The food & drink menu had plenty of choice and was reasonably priced. We also had lunch at the hotel one day at the garden sun loungers.

There's a small supermarket around a 10-minute walk away selling toiletries, sun cream, fresh fruit, meats, snacks and drinks. Card accepted everywhere, we didn’t take any cash.

There are several lovely restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk. We particularly enjoyed Mama Beach and Bar Bolla, and Rock & Beach was a great place for drinks a short walk away.

Beach towels are included and can be exchanged with either the lifeguard or reception. The beach is beautiful with crystal-clear water, although it's quite rocky, so beach shoes could be handy. Sun loungers on the beach are available for an additional charge.

The staff were friendly throughout our stay. A special mention to Sara on reception, who was incredibly helpful, and the bar staff, who were always welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

If you have a later flight, the hotel has a shower room that can be booked through reception the day before you leave, which is a great feature.

There's also a bookshelf in reception where guests can borrow or swap books. We didn't use the spa, but it appeared to be available at an additional cost. We also didn’t use the pool, it was nice but quite small.

Overall, we absolutely loved Sardinia and had a wonderful stay at Pelican Beach Resort & Spa. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beachfront escape.

Photos are not accurate. Overpriced. Remote location and rude staff.
Pros:

Upgraded rooms are spacious and modern. If you upgrade the garden Sunbeds have a great view over the sea. You have to pay for the beach beds still. There is nothing nearby, not even a shop and taxis to Olbia are €50 one way.

Cons:

The staff are INCREDIBLY RUDE. There is zero customer service and they role their eyes and laugh at simple requests. They do not make an effort at all. The gym is not as pictured, and no water available by the 2 gym machines or at reception. They charge extra for absolutely everything - if you get food delivered €12, if you want to sit on the beach, extra charge. I’ve never been to a hotel where the staff are so unfriendly. Unable to get access to an iron during the stay due to all being used. Anything that’s included you have to go pick up from reception e.g shower gel. The location is really remote €50 taxi into Olbia one way and can take over 40minutes to come.

Nicht empfehlenswert, verdient keine 4 Sterne
Cons:

Extrem kleines Zimmer, kein Balkon, Pflegeprodukte nur nach Anfrage, obwohl in der Beschreibung dabei. Zimmerausstattung ungenügend (zB nur 5 Kleiderbügel für 2 Personen, Schrank sehr klein).
Frühstückt immer das gleiche über den ganzen Aufenthalt( 9 Tage), keine Auswahl, leere Platten wurden nicht aufgefüllt. Service äußert unfreundlich (die älteste von den Frauen beim Frühstückservice).
Beim Abendessen wurden Sachen auf die Rechnung geschrieben und abkassiert, die nicht bestellt wurden und sogar nach Angebot 2x abgelehnt wurden (zB Flasche Wasser).

Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Four-Star Rating
Pros:

We stayed at Pellicano Resort Hotel in Pittulongu for three nights, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to its four-star rating.

The biggest positives were the staff and the cleanliness. The restaurant staff, especially the two waiters, were fantastic friendly, attentive, and professional. Housekeeping also did an excellent job, and the room was spotless throughout our stay.

However, the hotel itself feels very dated and run-down. The furniture, facilities, and overall atmosphere are old-fashioned and in need of significant renovation. It lacks the comfort and ambiance you would expect from a four-star hotel, especially considering the price. Rather than feeling like a relaxing resort, it felt tired and somewhat depressing.

Another disappointment was the restaurant pricing. The food was expensive for what it offered. In fact, we had dinner at a beautiful restaurant in Porto Cervo the following evening, where we enjoyed a much better meal in a far more impressive setting and paid less.

Overall, while the staff deserve full credit for their excellent service and the hotel is exceptionally clean, the property itself doesn’t justify its rates or its four-star classification. There are much better value options in the area, so unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Fantastic Resort and Restaurant
Pros:

The Pelican Beach is nicely located with an access to the private beach, got small pool but big enough to enjoy intimate atmosphere. Stuff can help to hire cars, boat or taxi. Is very quiet. Rooms are OK size, clean and sunny. The main advantage is Nuska Restaurant which offers phenomenal food and drinks. View to the sea and jazzy music makes me love to spend time there more than on the beach..

Cons:

Shower is a small..


There was one incident which I should mention as this was for me quite dangerous. Kettle has short integrated cable. So when I wanted to take it with me to pour some water to the cup I almost ripped off the cable from the socket. Not mention I spill the water over my luggage and the desk... Same happens to my friend who stay in other room.

Nevertheless I give 5star but I thought someone should think to change those kettles before someone get really burned and avoid serious accident.

Hotel na 1-2 noce. Ogrod jest na tyle mały że dłuższy pobyt powodowałby zmiany klaustrofobiczne
Pros:

Bardzo dobra restauracja.

Cons:

Leżaki w ogrodzie od rana zarezerwowane i do wieczora stoją puste.

Great hotel, need some improvement
Pros:

Amazing hotel. Room is smallish but clean and comfortable. Great receptionist especially Stefania who has gone out of her way to help us. Beach is right in front of the hotel. Absolutely lovely despite the sun lounges being expensive. 40 Euros for a full day per person. Breakfast is great. The only point to be improved is the garden shower close to the beach. The bottom was filthy, blocked with leaves and impossible to clean your feet there, let alone remove the sand from your body. I had reported it to the reception to no avail. This lasted for three days that we stayed on the hotel. The water at the bottom was stagnant and smelly. No one bothered to clean it.
