El clima, la ubicación, las instalaciones, el personal muy amable, ideal para descansar, hacer caminatas, recomiendo el lugar al 100% ideal para pasarla con amigos y familiares.
La comida: se pidió en el restaurante un corte de carne bien cocinado y casi al finalizar en el centro la carne estaba cruda, los bordes sí estaban bien cocinados y ya llevaba el 70% ya comido :o(( el mesero al final muy amable nos preguntó por qué no nos habíamos comido todo, le explicamos y dijo le iba a informar a la cocina. También se pidió la salsa de la carne por aparte y al final se lo pusieron encima. El mesero con pena dijo que le había dicho a la cocina que era por aparte pero no vieron la nota.

Die Umgebung ist wirklich toll, das Hotel gibt sich große Mühe mit der Anlage, man kann im Garten viele Tiere beobachten. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Abendessen war einmal gut (Fisch) und einmal hervorragend (Rinderfilet, Empfehlung!)
Das Bad ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und verkalkt. Ein Fliegengitter wäre noch die Kirsche on top!

Quiet, well located in the mountains with plenty to do nearby. We enjoyed our stay here, the room was tidy and comfortable, the restaurant served good food and it was very cosy thanks to the fireplace. Lots of birds to see, and as a bonus an entire gallery of wood carvings to look at.

Everything was well cared for and spotless!! The staff were delightful,! We enjoyed every minute ! We enjoyed the stunning views, all the flowers and especially all the birds and butterflies!
Creamer for my morning coffee in my room.
Well, that is the only thing I can come up with and I am sure if Ii had asked, they would have given me some milk to keep in the little fridge.

close to pueblo, but away from traffic and noise. Good value. Well kept property and grounds. Staff available and helpful, but not too pushy. Restaurant good.

The hotel is located in such a beautiful place and the restaurant is very good. I could hang out by the pool all day and watch all the birds flying around and the mountains in the distance. Very friendly staff
The bed wasn't the most comfortable

Wonderful garden, amazing view, beautyful public places and peaceful environment.
Walls are really thin, so we could hear every voice at night. Hair dryers would be necessary.

Everything was amazing here. We came in the off season and booked night before since hubby and I were traveling with no destination and exploring Costa Rica. What a gem. Staff were all wonderful and so nice. We both got great massages after a delicious breakfast. We really got more than we were expecting. Definitely will come again to enjoy!
It's Impossible to not like anything here. So Unique.

A bit out of the way but well worth it. Went during June and $58 for a great room and almost no other guests.
I didn't like the steep steep hill driveway.

as we could not come to this hotel , we asked to cancel . all other properties always willing to cancel without any charge. the owner ( no booking) was not willing to give envelopes half of what we paid. so , be careful when booking thi place . it happens that in casts rica plans might change .

Very nice. Visit Casa Alegria, the butterfly dome just down the road, truely a unique and beautiful project with a very good short tour and a small fee for entry. Really impressive. The Pelicano had a nice restaurant, good breakfast, nice birds in the morning. Very pleasant place to stay.

As birders, this place is a dream. The owner, Wilson, is an avid birder. He showed us some of the special birds: white-crested coquette, gray-headed hawk, fiery-billed aracari, etc. Plus, the gardens are just beautiful: flowers everywhere.
The room's amenities were just OK. Lumpy mattress and pillows, minimal lighting.
Food, good, not exceptional.
Ambiance top-notch.

El Pelícano is a gem of a hotel nested at the base of the Talamanca mountains. I stayed here for 2 days prior to embarking on an epic hike to Cerro Uran and Cerro Chirripo. It was the perfect place to acclimatize to higher altitudes and rest up before the trek. The casita was spacious and comfortable. The pool area was clean and inviting and the grounds and gardens were immaculate. The food was amazing. The staff were kind and courteous. I can’t wait to return next year!
