Perfect Newport Coast resort

Having heard of the Resort at Pelican Hill we decided to give it a try. Wow, we are impressed! Set above the coast line and golf course, the views are amazing. We booked a two bedroom villa. The furnishings and design were perfect. We even had a private garage. The Villas come…

Pelican Hill Resort never let's you down

Went to the Rose Bowl and stayed at Pelican Hill.. the facility is fantastic, the staff if friendly and helpful but mostly stays out of the way. The Pool facility is like no other with amazing views and plenty of room.

Is the pool heated? To what degree? Is it open in November?

Hello, InlovewGstaad! Great question. Our Coliseum Pool is heated year-round to approximately 82 degrees. We hope to see you soon!

I’m about to book a trip to California for November and I’m torn between here and The Monarch Beach Resort. My hesitation is we will be traveling with a service dog and I’m nervous to stay at a non pet friendly hotel. I know they must accept service dogs, but I’m just worried they won’t be welcoming. Has anyone stayed here before with a service dog? Is the a house car or shuttle offered? Will we have access to the beach and pool in November? Is there a lot of places to eat and shop in the area? Thanks for the help!

Hello Marie, Thank you so much for thinking of Pelican Hill for your upcoming trip to California. Please know that the Resort welcomes all service animals accompanying our guests. Our Coliseum Pool is open year-round, and we also provide complimentary coach service throughout the Resort and to our neighboring Crystal Cove Beach. There are many local destinations located near Pelican Hill, such as Fashion Island shopping center, and our concierge are able to assist with any activity reservations you may be interested in. Thanks again for your question, and we hope to welcome you to Pelican Hill soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Hi , Is there a beach area that is part of the resort?

We did not use the beach, although I think they have a shuttle. Resorts that have a beach are hotels like the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point. The Monarch Beach Resort also has a beach, which is a short shuttle ride. Their beach has a beach club restaurant, chairs, and umbrellas. Only issue is that they do sometimes have a lot of kelp on the beach, which they are not allowed to remove by law.
