Liked the staff and locality. However, the room was small and being charged for use of sunbeds on beach & not allowed to use sunbeds on hotel lawn, because they were reserved for the suites; was a gripe.

The food which we consume for lunch and dinner were charged to the room. No bills or confirmation how much the costs. The bills were given when we checked out. It will be better if the bills were acknowledged by us at the restaurant itself. Overall the staffs were very polite and helpful.

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.

I stayed at the Pelican Beach Resort in Olbia, Italy with my husband and we were immediately greeted, quick check in. The hotel has a restaurant, part of the hotel which is across the street from the front desk. The beach is also across the street. The breakfast was included in our stay. We had a complimentary late check out. The front desk reserved our taxi back to the airport. Overall, no complaints.

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.

I won't recommend it. Extra charge for beach chairs. For actual cup of coffee ( not from the breakfast area machine) If you eat on the grass area which is few feet away from the tables. Beds are hard.

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 best thing about this property is the staff. They are amazing. The reception personally walked us to our room and showed up everything. They gave us informatioj for boat rentals and even called us a cab when we needed it. 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.

Not really a good beach for Adults only
Starting with positive. Staff was amazing in hotel and restaurant. Service was amazing. Rooms spotless clean however very basic. The beach is surrounded by screaming kids on both sides of the hotel beach. They run back and forth across the supposedly adults only beach. Horrible! The restaurant is excellent but choice is too limited and has nothing simple if you would just like a sandwich or something light. Breakfast is great

Super clean, oceanfront, adults only hotel
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.

Beautiful setting, wonderful accommodation and staff generally very helpful. Yes there is a private beach however it is just a sectioned off part of beach next to the public beach so can be very loud with children, not expected seeing as this is an adult only hotel.

Beautiful hotel and spa was amazing as well. Staff was so kind and always works so hard everyday, which reflects on the hotel because it is very clean and put together. A special thanks to the lifegaurd, Fabrizio, for making our stay extra special by always being welcoming and and keeping us company at the beach.

All the staff were friendly and helpful which made our holiday special. The restaurant food was fantastic. The lifeguard was great and the cleaning staff thorough. The only down side was that there was nothing within walking distance. No nice shops and bars or a strip to walk along for an evening stroll.

Nice hotel on the beach but isolated
Beach setting great, friendly staff. Restaurant overpriced and over rated. Nothing to do in the evenings shame hotel didn't have entertainment. Very little choice of alternative restaurants, plenty of pizza but other food very rustic. Smoking is a big problem in the outside canopy area no consideration for non smokers as usual, unbearable at times. Taxis in Sardinia very expensive 40 euros for 12 kilometres!

Great hotel & the staff were AMAZING... Nothing was too much trouble & some of the most freindly hotel staff I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Location is good & we made the most of the buses which are really easy to use. We hired a car for just one day which was not expensive & really worth doing if you want to see more of the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend Sardinia as a holiday destination & the Pelican Beach Spar Hotel.

A short break to get away from it all.
A warm welcome and lovely friendly staff. The hotel rooms are a bit basic (no kettles for example) and on the small side but the showers were great and the beds comfortable. Would have liked a slightly bigger balcony too. The sea is literally on the doorstep with crystal clear waters. Out of season a car would be useful. Great food in the restaurant.
