Lovely piece of paradise with a lovely ambiance over looking the lake. The food was good and service was quite fast. The rooms were impressive, elegantly designed, very comfortable and homely. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a luxurious out town holiday spot.

Our stay at pelican was luxurious. The checking in was so professional and fast. The meals were great but unfortunately no much choice. The waitress milka was very attentive and friendly she took great care of us. The highlight of our visit was having breakfast by the lake. That was a beautiful experience.

I stayed in Pelican Lodge in Aug. 2012. It is near to the beautiful lake and in the night the atmosphere is really nice and romantic, the rooms were good and big, my room had an open shower which was amazing to me. food wise it's ok not much variety, but location and hotel rooms are excellent.
