our stay at pelican reef villas resort was fantastic! the oceanfront villa was spotless and beautifully decorated, and we loved the cool sea breeze. the breakfast selection was broad and delicious, especially the fresh-squeezed orange juice. the friendly staff, especially senor enrique, made our mornings even better. it’s an easy 2-mile walk into town for more restaurant options.

We enjoyed an amazing guided tour of the Lamanai Mayan Ruins, where the highlight was the impressive Cathedral’s stalactite formations. The villas were spacious and comfortable for our family of five, and the kids loved the pool and the private beach.

My kids wished for more activities specifically designed for their age group.

You’ll thank me later

This charming resort offers a tranquil escape with stunning ocean views from every villa. The friendly staff, especially Tristan, provides excellent service and can arrange tours for effortless adventures. Enjoy the serene beach, hammocks, and cozy pool—perfect for unwinding after breakfast featuring delightful menu options. Simply a hidden gem in paradise!

Our stay was fantastic! The poolside cocktail service was top-notch, and the included breakfast blew us away with fresh, delicious options. Just a heads-up, though, the beach area had some seaweed, not quite as pictured.

Great ocean access from the pier, but early airport departure cut our stay short.

Pool area offers stunning ocean views. Limited dining options nearby, though.

The resort offers an ideal beach location, with clean accommodations and warm, familial staff that make you feel at home.

Some amenities may not be as upscale as competing resorts in the area.

The Three-Bedroom Suite with Pool View offers stunning views and spacious accommodations, with a fully stocked kitchen that's perfect for families. The painted sunset from the private balcony is a sight to behold after a day of adventuring.

Getting from one villa to another involved climbing 2 flights of stairs both ways, which can be a hassle, especially with kids or heavy bags. The patio area faced some buggy moments. however, the resort provided effective insect repellent. Additionally, the required travel for dining options can be a bit of a trek, about a 15-minute golf cart ride to restaurants, which may not suit everyone.

I had a fantastic five-night stay in the Three-Bedroom Suite Pool View. The suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable—perfect for my family. Each morning started with fresh-squeezed orange juice that I absolutely loved, not to mention the breakfast menu offering delicious options. We enjoyed the pool area, which offered a lovely setting. The dock extended into beautiful water, perfect for swimming and catching some sun. Staff helped set up our excursions seamlessly, allowing easy pickups right from the hotel dock. We went snorkeling at Hol Chan and saw so many incredible fish. My only complaint involves the somewhat buggy patio area. however, the resort provided insect repellent that worked well. I felt that the dining options were slightly limited, as we had to head into town for dinner. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and the sunsets from our balcony were glorious.

This place is a top selection for a short visit in San Pedro with outstanding value. The staff went out of their way to help me arrange an unexpected birthday celebration for my friend, making it truly memorable. Make sure to communicate directly with the staff for smooth service planning!

An oceanfront villa provided breathtaking sunrises, and the amenities were impeccable, including a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living space. Breakfast featured fresh-squeezed orange juice and a variety of tasty options. While the beach itself was picturesque, the limited dinner options put a slight damper on the experience. Although the property felt secluded, access to nearby attractions required planning and sometimes waiting for taxis.

Magical, Magical, Magical

The three-bedroom suite was spacious, with every corner offering fine garden views and the gentle sound of waves in the background. Waking up to fresh-squeezed orange juice and a breakfast menu filled with good options was the perfect start to our days. The beautiful pool area was perfect for relaxing with a cocktail, while our private beach access made every sunset even more nice.

would recommend 🥰🌊

The two-bedroom villa was immaculately clean, with a fully-stocked kitchen and stunning ocean views. Watching the sunrise from our balcony with fresh-squeezed juice in hand was the perfect touch. Staff were friendly, and the bar had a great happy hour vibe.

While the overall experience was fantastic, it would be great to see more dining options available for lunch and dinner without having to venture into town.
