We loved it! The owner and staff were wonderful as was the food and the beach. Small hotel but perfect for a quiet vacation. They also helped set up fun stuff to do in the area.

Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Helped us with any questions we had about local things to do. Even made calls for us arranging activities. We would certainly stay here again.

The Pelican is a wonderful little spot tucked away on a gorgeous Pacific beach. My only hesitation in recommending it in the strongest possible terms is that it might become too popular!

Had a surprising and wonderful stay. One of the most relaxing places I have every been. Clean and comfortable room, beautiful grounds, amazing location on a beach with few people, friendly and helpful staff and wonderful food in the restaurant. We will be back!

Staff is awesome. Mike and Diana are very helpfully and focused on customer service. We went to Rainmaker and Mike called to find out what time they opened. He also gave us recommendations on things to look for and paths to take. The beach at the hotel was amazing. Long barefoot walks at sunrise and sunset. We took surf lessons from the hotel staff and had a great time. The garden is beautiful and attracts birds and lizards. Pairs of Macaws flew overhead daily. Parrots and other song birds were there as well. Food at the restaurant was very good with a nice variety of menu items. Staff was great. Wonderful down to earth family friendly hotel.

We loved the location of this property right on the beach. The staff were very helpful and friendly despite the fact that the owner, Debbie, was berating them every morning for something they did or did not do wrong. All right in front of customers. She every was arguing with a local Tiko, quite loudly, right in the bar area. We had a very relaxing couple of days there and our suite was very nice, but we may not choose to patronize this owner again.

The staff and the cook were great - delicious salads and good breakfast. Our a/c didn't work well & they moved us to another room. I will go back. It's not fancy but that's not important to me.

Excelente ubicación, frente al mar a precio accesible. Atención amable. Rica comida a precio accesible. El tamaño de la piscina es mediano-pequeño, y respecto a la otra piscina que estaba publicitada y era más amplia, según nos dijeron, era de uso privado para clientes que alquilaban la casa, que es parte del negocio. En general fue una buena experiencia y volvería a hospedarme allí.

Hübsches kleines Hotel, etwas abgelegen, dafür hat man den Strand fast für sich. Das Frühstück ist leider etwas dürftig, die Preise im Restaurant etwas teuer. Kein eigener Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Der Pool ist schön und die Mitarbeiter sehr nett.

The Pelicano hasn't been updated in five years and it's now time to do so, awful beds, dirty typical Central American experience. Staff is adequate and this hotel has a small kitchen and bar but if you're smart you'll bring a lot of your own snacks and drinks as you'll be paying U.S. prices.

This hotel is fine for a basic stay in the Esterillos area, but is nothing special. The property has character and immediate access to a beautiful beach. The owners are welcoming. Amenities include bar/restaurant with limited breakfast included, air conditioning, pool, and on-site security guard. The main drawback was that our room was not serviced by housekeeping during our entire stay. So after a few days at the beach, we had accumulated quite a bit of dirt and sand in the room and bathroom, and had gone through the very small ration of linens and toiletries provided. It just seemed like the place is disorganized or takes a "no-frills" approach. The wi-fi was also spotty.

Total in die Jahre gekommen und überteuert! Das Hotel fällt auseinander und ist eher ein altes Hostel. Zimmer sind winzig, Betten alt und es gibt keine Seife auf der Toilette. Die Hängematte am Strand ging sofort kaputt und auch sonst muss das Hotel komplett renoviert werden. Allerdings ist das Restaurant gut und der Service freundlich!

Dont do it! The place is run down, everything is breaking, the staff seems annoyed that you are there, the sheets are bleach stained, cobwebs all over, cracks in the doors to the rooms, damaged screens, windows wont lock, etc.
