Stayed at the Pelicanos over the last 10 days on a family holiday with Globespan.
I could not fault the hotel in any way apart from the entertainment. The food was very good with an excellent buffet at breakfast and dinner and the food was always hot. Hotel in excellent location close to the beach,nightlife and shops.
Staff very pleasant. Room a very good size even with 3 beds in. Hotel has a fabulous lagoon style pool. The swim up pool bar opens this weekend. No hassle getting sun beds at any time of the day.
I will certainly be returning to this hotel.

This was our second visit to this hotel,last year we stayed for 1 week but this year we booked for 11 nights.
If we had the cash I would book for a month next time. The food is excellant ,it may be self service but everynight there is a choice of fish( hake,swordfish,cod,flat to name a few types),steak. Various stews,great choice of veg. Rice dishes,cold meats and salads.
Then there is the Italian section of the dining room where you can choose pasta,pizza,hot dogs and burgers.The breakfasts are as good.
The rooms are large and all seem to have a good view.
The hotel is very clean and the staff are very helpful.
The entertainment team work very very hard and the kids club is great. Our lad went everyday sometimes 3 times a day. They took him climbing, camping and to the beach as well as the usual swimming and dressing up.
The hotel is very well located, 800 yds from the beach plus near plenty of bars and clubs.
The pool is the best in the resort( cold at first).Plenty of sun beds.

We stayed in the Ocas & enjoyed our stay thoroughly.
Every thing about this hotel is good, food, pools, rooms
Never stayed in for entertainment sSo I can't comment on that.
2 minute walk to beach.
Only 1 moan they picked the wrong time of year to improve their lift service 1 was out of action all the time & the other broke down a few times while we were there (we were on the 11th floor). That grumble aside I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have stayed at this hotel for the last three years and always at bank holiday week as the children are away from school, it is usually absolutely perfect and that is why we have returned so much. This time the food was appalling even the sausages for breakfast were not properly cooked, and we did not notice until my grandson had eaten his, consequently he was later sick and had to stay in bed the rest of the day, not very nice for a 6yr old, after this we had to check that all food was cooked through, and twice cut open sausages which looked cooked but were cold in the middle, so watch out for this please if you visit this hotel.
We will not be going again which we are very sad about as we really love the pool and the rooms are very spacious.

Spent 7 days in this hotel, would go back there again.
Very good choice of food, self service, food was of very good standard good selection always hot.
Hotel is in a good location to all night life and beach only a short walk, quite busy for the time of year.
Plenty to do for the kids in the hotel, and in 7 days only one cloudy day, got a very nice tan.

Superb - excellent food multi choice if you can`t find something you like you`re very hard to please!.
Only one thing spoilt our holiday and that was the pickpockets - we all know about them and are warned - but you are not warned how quickly they can strike - my wife was hit on crossing the road from the transfer coach - a group of spanish women were literally waiting for the coaches to pull up and followed my wife across the road and right up to the hotel doors - only in the room did we discover her purse had been taken and on reporting it we found another person had their tickets stolen at the same time - this is in no way the hotels fault but very little seems to be done to counter these activities.
The hotel staff were very helpful in these circumstances as was the rep. but they would be very experienced in dealing with these situations as the incidents were frequent.
I honestly could not fault the hotel in any way as the staff were very pleasant and eager to help regardless of their role.
Beautiful pool very cold at this time of year but bearable once in

Upon arrival, the hotel seemed very clean and spacious, pools looked great, too cold to use.
The food was fantastic loads of choice for every meal, freshly cooked, even pizza and fish fingers for the kids, not just chips every night!!
Hotel location was great, just over the road to all the night life. Didn't stay in hotel much in the evening, entertainment didn't look fantastic.
Lots of older people using the hotel at this time of year, seemed to cater more for them.
Room was of a good size to say we had 3 beds and a cot, mother in law had a single room which was very spacious but a little cold !!

Hotel food was terrible if you like pork or chicken every night. Sweet selection was totally disgraceful. Eggs were flat, bacon burnt.
Room floors were not regulary cleaned I had to ask but clean towels daily.
Hotel location super for clubs and pubs all near by loats of touts outside be wary of them don't be fooled by gambling with the nut by the sands they run of with your money.
Hotel staff can't say alot we waited 1 hour to be checked in slow entertainment average also rather boring nothing whatsoever for our little girl to do would not visit again unless food to be upgraded.
I know what I am talking about visited other sol much much better food.

On enterance to the Hotel I found it very clean and spacious. The staff were very efficient in checking us in and asking if we needed safety deposit boxes.
The rooms were spacious...even with 3 beds in. I was impressed with the shower of all things, very powerful also large bottles of shampoo, shower gel and hand wash were supplied, not the usual sachets.
There was plenty of choice of food and every evening there was some kind of meat i.e. chops, steak etc cooked fresh on a griddle and you could ask for it cooking to how you liked it, same on a morning at breakfast with eggs, omlettes and pancakes.
I like to go out on a night so I don't often get to see hotel entertainment, but everynight there was something on and this year we did stay in a few times and I found the entertainment real good, especially for kids.
The pool is very impressive, very clean and of the same depth all the way round. I am 5'3 and I could touch on my tip toes everywhere in the pool.
All in all I would say this has been the perfect hotel in a perfect location and I will be visiting again.
