Pelican Point Lodge

This accommodation had a wonderful caring staff! Thank you to Tanya, Trevor (housekeeper), servers Santos and Ivan, and important Chef Vissla. The food was outstanding – especially the oysters and lamb shank!!! The lodge is way out on a sand peninsula – very remote. It was quite an experience going to and from the city over a vastness of sand. Every room has an ocean view. Unfortunately, during our stay, my husband was not feeling well – the staff showed its concern by serving special meals; Tanya even took him to a pharmacy and grocery store to buy items for his relief.

Thank you for an amazing stay. Absolutely stunning and very private. Keith, the lodge manager, runs a very tight ship and his staff is extremely nice and helpful. The room, the food, and the surroundings were simply beautiful. Best place to stay to visit Sandwich harbor, one of the most beautiful coastline in the world. A memorable stay! Merci beaucoup!

Arrivati all' aeroporto, in 5 minuti ci viene a prendere un accompagnatore gentilissimo di nome Marlon. Dopo una mezz'ora arriviamo all'hotel. Ci accoglie lo staff gentilissimo e alcuni carinissimi sciacalli. Stanza bellissima dove la notte ti accendono il fuoco e ti mettono la borsa dell'acqua calda dentro il letto per riscaldarti. Offre di tutte le esperienze che vorreste fare tutti almeno una volta nella vita. Ci hanno trovato un pallone per giocare a calcio tra di noi. Dune bellissime. Giro in quad ancora più bello. In poche parole esperienza stupenda! Continuate così!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Séjour incroyable tout était parfait. Un guide est venu nous chercher à un point de rencontre puis nous l’avons suivi durant une trentaine de minutes jusqu’au phare. Tout le personnel était super. La chambre que nous avons eu était immense et magnifique avec une vue à 360°. Nous avons pu nous promener tout le long de la plage c’était une super expérience. Nous n’avons eu aucune odeur, saleté ou insectes. Je recommande.

We returned to the Captain’s Cove at Pelican point after 6 years and it was again fabulous. Magnificent location and a special atmosphere. Not for those who need every pampering mod con but if you want to stay somewhere unique, beautiful and magnificent then go there. Very good food, helpful and friendly staff, feels like you are at the edge of the world. Yes there is electricity only part of the day, yes it is not easy to get to, yes there is no luxury spa but none of that matters. Highly recommended for people seeking somewhere definitely not run of the mill

We stayed two days at Pelikan Point Lodge and our experience was definitely not positive. On the bright side : a) the location is indeed special. Remote, wild and overall fascinating although somewhat spoilt on one side of the bay by the constant and uninspiring passing and stationing of huge oil and commercial vessels; b) friendliness and nice attitude of the manager and staff; c) good quality and nice presentation of the food; d) the kayak trip among the seals offered by the lidge which was really awesome. On the negative front were a) the rooms (we got two, the seal and the dolphin) which are unwelcoming, badly maintained and extremely basic. They are made in cement and bricks with no hardwood floor and tiles, mediocre furniture and no attention at all to design and comfort. In particular what was unacceptable to us was :b) the open toilets (very bad idea!) c) the absence of supply of electricity for extended parts of the day and during the night; d) the smell of sewer in the dolphin room; e) the absence of a heating and air conditioning system. We were there in Winter and in the evening it was freezing cold and we felt extremely uncomfortable and eventually all the three of us caught a cold. The seal room has a very primitive heating system (which was provided upon our request also in the dolphin room) with inflammable liquid lit by the staff which is however totally ineffective. Moreover it doesn’t last long and leaves behind a bad smell of kerosene. This huge inconvenience is clearly seasonal but we assume that an opposite problem may occur in Summer with high temperatures. Moreover quite disappointing were f) the wifi system which is extremely slow and doesn’t allow any decent internet connection; g) the hot water supply which is very limited and doesn’t two showers in a raw.
