Great hotel location. Small rooms but adequate. Lovely small private beach but the sun loungers were quite expensive. 40 Euros per person daily. Garden shower bottom by the beach was filthy. Lots of leaves blocking it and stagnant water, for at least three days while we were there here. Impossible to stand in it. Reported this issue at the reception to no avail. It’s a shame, no attention to details. Despite it, we loved to stay there. The receptionists were great especially Stefania who has gone out of her way to help us.

lovely hotel room and some bedrooms at the hotel are direct onto the beach...however if you dont reserve the top room package then patio sunbeds are not allowed and sunbeds on the beach are 40 euros per couple per day!!!!...lovely pool across the road at the lower room rates but only a handful of sunbeds around the pool!...and the evening dinner menu is VERY expensive! location is quite remote for eating out. nearest and only shop/supermarket is approx 1 km walk for anything needed. ..Oh and if you order take away food from outside the hotel i.e. a pizza then the hotel will charge you a surcharge!!...we liked the hotel itself but the feeling was once you have booked this...one of the most expensive hotels in this vacinity..then they charge you high prices for any other needs

Great hotel with excellent staff, always helpful and knowledgeable. Restaurant gets busy so be sure to book (also a bit in the expensive side). We thoroughly enjoyed our time here would come back. Worth renting a car to be able to explore properly. We had lovely massages in the spa.

Our stay was nice! Overall, I would return but there were a few not so great things.

1. The beds are very hard (typical of Italy).
2. The toilet in our room dripped 24/7.
3. The hotel restaurant has a very strange dinner menu.
4. The shower temperature fluctuated and went boiling hot out of no where.
5. Not a lot of pool chairs.
6. Paying 40 euros for an umbrella and chairs at the private beach they own as hotel guest seems unnecessary.
7. The sand on their private beach was full of wood chips (the free side right beside it was much nicer).

We used the private beach and were asked our room number assuming this was to ensure we were hotel guests. When we checked out we were charged for the sunbeds on the beach 40 euros. At no time were we informed of this charge. The sunbed staff did not tell us and when we questioned this with reception they refused to refund us or take responsibility. Not good customer service

The hotel itself is decent, and our room was clean. However, several important details were not disclosed before booking, which left us disappointed.

The main reason we chose this hotel over an Airbnb or a property in the city was because it is marketed as a beachfront resort with its own private beach. While it does have a section with loungers, they are not included for hotel guests and cost €25–30 per day. Considering the room rates, this felt excessive. If a hotel is advertised as a beach resort, loungers should either be complimentary or offered at a much lower rate. There are nearby beach clubs with nicer facilities and better beaches for less.

The hotel also advertises parking, but it costs €25 per day. The only alternative is street parking, which the hotel says is “at your own risk.” Since it’s located beside a public beach in a residential area, street parking fills up quickly. A car is also essential because there is very little within walking distance, making the paid parking feel almost unavoidable.

The rooms are somewhat outdated. We were assigned a ground-floor room with almost no natural light and very little privacy, as the entrance faced a busy shared walkway. It also looked quite different from the photos shown online. If there is such a large variation between room types, the hotel should include representative photos of all options.

The gym photos are also misleading. It is small, has minimal equipment, and does not have the beach views shown online.

We arranged transportation a week in advance as the property indicated. Driver canceled while we were in the air and offered no solution. Property advertises transportation, no one was there to pick us up. Limited lounge chairs for the beach and grass lounge chairs so we were not able to hang out on property and relax. Nice location, clean room and good bay to swim in. Dining room was nice and good food and servers efficient.

They wouldn't let us open the umbrella at the beach...front desk didn't believe that we didn't have beach towels...made my husband run to the room twice because they didn't believe us ..so he brought down the shower towels to prove a point.

Our stay at The Pelican Beach Resort was enjoyable. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds are small but nice. We appreciated having our own lounge chairs and umbrella in the garden as well as on the beach. The swimming was lovely, very relaxing in both the ocean and in the pool.

As for the food, we only ate breakfast there once. It's a nice buffet, but expensive. I guess it's worth it if you're a big eater, but if you just want toast and coffee I wouldn't recommend it. The dinner menu was very expensive so we chose to have dinner elsewhere.

The staff are really excellent! Super nice, helpful people at the front desk, staffing the bar, and cleaning the rooms.

The downside: we assumed they would have a parking lot and they don't. Your choices are to risk parking on the street, if you can find a spot, or paying to park in their small garage.

Also, there are not enough electrical outlets in the room. You can plug in the mini fridge or the TV, but not both at the same time.

On the whole, the positives outweighed the negatives by a lot and it's the staff who are the best thing about Pelican Beach.

One thing to be aware of is that they charge hotel guests for the beach chairs which were 20€ each per day. The ‘gym’ is also outdoors, no air con and the equipment is in bad need of repair. There was one working treadmill, there was a set of 5kg dumbbells and I think a 1-3kg but really poor gym.
Staff are super nice, rooms very clean, and the beach is beautiful. You do need a car to get around! And beware, very little on street free parking as the locals park at 7am for the beach! To park in the hotel underground carpark they charge hotel guests 15€ a day (I think this is what we paid) during July.

Adult’s only hotel

From the moment we arrived, which was late, Selma at reception suggested go to the hotel restaurant eat relax & do check in after.
She continued throughout our 8 nights to book restaurants taxis & more.
The confusion of the sunbeds is, if you are staying in a suite you have the use of sunbeds & umbrellas in the garden & the beach. If you are in the regular rooms there is a daily charge.
Simone was extremely professional & helped us with choice of local wine & couldn’t do enough to make our stay fabulous.
The team at reception friendly helpful & happy.

The hotel was quite nice and the buffet breakfast was excellent. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.
What I didn't like was that the weather was exceptionally hot and the tap water was undrinkable. The only source of drinking water was in the bar fridge and guests had to pay 2.5 Euros for a small bottle of water. There are no convenient stores or shops anywhere close to the hotel to purchase anything. A car is definitely required to see or do much.

Lovely and relaxing

We had a great trip. The hotel was lovely, we were in the pelican villa part on the beach side. The gardens around the hotel and the restaurant were immaculate and the beach was lovely. the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff were all very helpful.
Probably the only small downside was location. There is a small supermarket near by and a couple of other restaurants that are walkable but other wise you need a car or taxi to get anywhere, taxis are very expensive min 35 euro for a trip into Olbia that is about a 10 min drive away. That said we were happy to stay at the hotel and enjoy the beach and relax. Would stay again.

Lack of Transparency

Writing review for others travelers to be “in the know” Hotel needs to be transparent with descriptions & 3rd party sellers.
Call in advance to know exactly what hotel room your getting space, view, location, floor, stairs etc., sofa bed, lounge chairs so there are no surprises. Ask for bills as you go. Do not put the bill on the room and pay at the end, you may find surprise costs that were never mentioned. Ask if the spa is included w spa treatments, bc it’s not. Don’t accept anything “on the house” you may get charged for it. Felt Nickel and dimed. No shuttle to the airport. It’s a 40 Euro taxi the front desks calls. There’s not a shuttle to Olbia. It’s public transportation we missed bc we were never informed we needed a face mask. Be careful w hidden language & descriptions. Make a dinner reservation in advance or you may not get to eat. Ask what lounge chairs are included with your stay. Not all amenities are included, you may have to pay extra. Our massage was not good even though we asked for more pressure. Be on top of what your getting & not getting.

However, the staff is nice and friendly. They try to accommodate their faults. The booker for excursions is wonderful. But cabs are very expensive to get to them during high season. The bartender is very nice & made great drinks. Although, we felt like we were getting ripped off, hotel hires nice staff to hide behind the lack of transparency.
Hotel offered a meal which made up for lack of transparency.

The rooms are immaculate. Housekeeping is everyday even when it doesn't need to be. The restaurant has amazing, fresh food and superb service. They never let your water cup go empty.

There's private beach access and a garden. The grounds are well kept and relaxing. This place is truly a hidden gem. Not crowded at all. I highly recommend this place. Of note it is adults only.

Super clean, oceanfront, adults only hotel. I felt that this place must have been recently renovated because it is gorgeous and sparkling clean. Every moment was perfect, the restaurant and bar is incredible. Walk out to the beach and there are additional beaches a 5 minute walk in either direction. Additional restaurants 10 minute walk. There’s also a public bus Line within walking distance if you want to explore more without a car, but I never used this because the hotel staff was always happy to arrange a taxi.

Really nice hotel, in a good location only 20 mins drive to Olbia airport. Pool is a good size and beach is lovely and plenty of sun beds for everyone. Unfortunately I had hurt my back during our trip to Sardinia and was unable to walk very well, Karina in the spa area did her best to try and help me during our 4 day stay doing a couple of massages , her help was appreciated. The hotel has an amazing restaurant, we were not on half board so used the a la cartel menu, because of my mobility issues we ate there on our 1st night and was very impressed. We tried to book for our last night but they were fully booked, so we had to find somewhere else in the car which wasn't ideal. It would have been nice if they could have accommodated us.

Terribly disappointed in a high dollar stay.

We arrived very late due to fight delays, and the initial hotel clerk pointed us to a restaurant that could still serve us food at midnight, we were so greatful. But it seemed to all down hill from here. The hotel staff the next day made us feel like total idiots for acting like we could ask for a tour the next day of anything. So graciously we accepted a tour the following day, even tho that's was our last day. BUT THE ABSOLUTE WORST PART WAS WE WENT FOR DINNER AT POSTED 7-9 time listed in the lobby and we were turned down because we had no reservation. Now if they would have warned us at check in we would have made that reservation. SO we went hungry that night because there is nothing local with in reason except 30 mins of walking to get a sandwich. And of course there was no reservation available for the next night with even a 24 hour warning. The room was clean with ocean views, but the sour taste in our mouth struggling to get food here and the willingness of the staff to tell us NO so many times ruined it. We were left upset on a beautiful vacation instead of wonderful memories. I guess after changing planes 4 times and 25 hours of travel we expected a million times better. But even when we tried to reach the front desk for more than an hour to get a final taxi to the airport the call would not connect or no one bothered. So we had to walk to the front desk and ask for a taxi, and they seemed to say these Americans always want pronto! I cannot recommend!

Beautiful Hotel - adults only\nPrivate beach

Hotel reservation was not on the hotel register. This may have been as a result of Expedia not sending on the reservation or the hotel not imputing the reservation. Otherwise the stay was excellent

Shouldn't be sold as adults only

This hotel is sold as adults only, yet the beach is a public beach full of children, so it really misses the point of being adults only when you're trying to relax on the beach and you can't because there are 100's of children screaming.

Wonderful hotel, fantastic staff, great facilities

Our expectations were exceeded and we will return next year.
The staff were great, really helpful and friendly. The beach was beautiful and again, the lifeguard really helpful.
Food was amazing, breakfast overlooking the beach every morning.
Rooms were clean and well taken care of.
My only niggle was that there was no tea and coffee facilities in the room, this would be a really nice touch in future

Peaceful, relaxing location with direct access to

The restaurant served excellent Sardinian food and having the evening meal included was essential as without a car it was difficult to access anything but a local pizzeria. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's a great place for total peace and quiet.

Lovely hotel & staff.

Hotel & staff were lovely. Pool very quite, most days we had this to ourselves. Food was outstanding. Beach was very small, busy and nosy with only a rope separating the hotel beach from the residential area. There is nothing else to do in the surrounding area therefore would recommend hiring a car.

Do not stay here stay here!!!! Not worth it

First of all this is not a resort! Completely over priced I paid almost $250 a night for subpar service you are basically stuck at this hotel to go anywhere costs you in between 40-80 euros on way. You better off staying at puerto Cuervo, costa Esmeralda or Baja Sardinia. A soda will cost you five euro at this resort. The staff was very rude and completely unhelpful if you booked a tour with one person at the resort no one else knew anything about it or could give you any information. I don't want to sound like a typical American as an avid traveler and I know that and you're I don't want to sound like a typical American as an avid traveler and I know that in Europe things are different than in the states but I honestly felt I was treated poorly just because I was American. You can find a hotel much cheaper or for the same price stay somewhere much better, location was not good.

Amazing hotel and very friendly staff. The food every night was superb, we ate half board and dint regret it, great choice of food except one night when they had a special wine event on with a fixed menu, me and my wife didn't like anything on the menu but that wasn't a problem for them they made us something different.

In summary fantastic staff, lovely hotel set in a stunning beach front

Relax relax relax

If you are looking for a great place to relax this is it! A nice beach, a chilled out lawn and a great restaurant give you everything you need. The staff are really friendly and no ask is too much. Walking distance to other beaches and cafes/restaurants so our lack of car was no issue. A brilliant few days to recharge the batteries.

The hotel was very nice, staff lovely. Only one niggle, and that was on our first day we arrived early and took a breakfast which we were charged for - not a problem but our last day we left at 6am so didn't take our breakfast on that day so I think it was a little short sighted to charge us.

A mixed bag.

One of our bags was lost on the journey and the taxi transfer organised by the hotel had left by the time we had completed the paperwork. The bag loss was the airline's fault of course, and they were understanding, advising us on where to get clothes and toiletries in the meantime. We didn't get our bag back until 4 days later (the hotel staff had resolved for us to go back to the airport to pick it up which would've cost us €80 so we asked them if we could speak to the airline and they said they could deliver to the hotel after all!).

More broadly, there was a nice beach (although during our stay in September the sun was intermittent) but the lifeguard was frequently unhappy about giving out towels and setting up sunbeds. If you don't like bitey fish, this isn't the sea for you. But it is exactly how it looks on the picture.

There were wasps in the morning and mosquitos in the night so BRING SPRAY. Restaurants were few and far between: the one recommended on Mamma Beach was excellent (if a little more expensive) and we went to La Squino twice but avoid El Ninos. Basically other than a couple of beaches either side, there is not much else to do.

The breakfast was great but sometimes they ran out of something crucial like bread, tea or juice.

But overall we had a great time (i read THREE books). 10 out of 10.
