Dana Biosphere Reserve Holidays from AU$1,821

The Pelican Hotel is an amazing boutique hotel with an outstanding restaurant! It has 33 individually themed rooms owned by Renzo Rosso, the Italian fashion mogul and founder of the Diesel clothing brand. There is a lot of attention to detail put into this hotel and the location is prime. The hand stamped copper elevator takes you to your room and speak easy rooftop. We had Rm 202, an oversized very large vintage themed king suite overlooking the main blvd. It had a view of muscle beach, the ocean and the sidewalk for some great people watching. It had windows wrapped around both sides of the room which was awesome. It had a little noise at night since it's on the main blvd, but they all do being in the epicenter. It didn't hinder us from a good nights sleep in the plush California King bed with crisp sheets and a duvet topper:) The service has been outstanding!! The staff really care about the guests, evident on many levels, and went above and beyond. It has been a long time since I feel like I had really great service, outstanding food, and a couple of generous offerings thrown in. If you're a guest at the hotel, you get a few options for an oversized, complimentary jumbo cocktail every evening. The 1st night we opted for the spicy, scratch made margarita and night 2 we got the Aperol Spritz with approval from the mgr. They also have a generous happy hour. The room offers complementary snacks (veggie chips & kind bars) as well as water. Your stay also includes complementary

Staff were lovely and extremely accommodating. On site restaurants were very good as were beach amenities. Would highly recommend.

The hotel is in a great location but was disappointed in my room. The closet was more like a cupboard and I had to get creative on hanging my clothes. There is no chest for drawers. The lighting switches are confusing but figured them out. Even on the full lighting, the room is dim. The staff was great.
