“Great resort for families.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

We stayed here for 5 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Our 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious and clean and so big that I didnt even know I had an ensuite to the main bedroom until I closed the bedroom door and there it was. Jenny and Sally are the nicest hosts you could ever ask for. We had a small problem with one of the toliets but Jenny was onto staright away and it was fixed promptly. Jenny couldnt do enough to ring the theme parks to find out some information for me and Sally helped to organise my tickets for the theme parks and saved me more money than I had expected. The location is wonderful with a local shopping centre just a short drive down the road which had an IGA, bottle shop, mexican restaurant, thai place, fish and chip shop, and 2 pizza places. Very handy indeed. The resort itself was very clean and well looked after. The children enjoyed the 2 pools and the heated jacuzzi. I loved using the clean and free BBQ facilities provided and the setting around the whole resort was just lovely and peaceful and I felt very tropical. I also loved the secure underground parking, which set my mind at rest that my car was safe and sound. We were only a 15min drive from Movie World and Wet N wild which was fabulous. With harbourtown just down the road we had everything we needed by staying in this resort in an excellent location. Had no problems with noise from other guests or outside noise. We stayed in a ground floor which was ideal for me. Thank you for all your wonderful help and we really felt like it was a home away from home.

“Home Away from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

We had a wonderfull stay at the Pelican Cove Resort for the 9 days we were in Australia.
The rooms were light, fresh & well looked after. We had a better time within the resort than actually going out. We keep jokeing that we miss the balcony as we spent so much time in the mornings & evenings relaxing & talking up there.
As we were there for a wedding & there were lots of us staying I have to say that the staff were amazing & nothing was too difficult (even the BBQ's that went on later than expected).
I highy recommend the Pelican Cove Resort to anyone & look forwrad to returning there myself next time we visit the Gold Coast.

Room Tip: Higher floors as fabulous to sit on belcony watching things pass you by & views

“Great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

This was our third stay and we have always found the staff to be extremely helpful. It is a great location - close to Harbour Town and not too far from the theme parks. Being near the Broadwater it is great for walks along the water. The heated pool is wonderful as the kids can swim at any time. Will visit again!

“good for families”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

we stayed at Pelican Cove for close to 3 weeks and found the staff friendly and helpful. the room was not that modern, but had a great full hd tv which is important to keep the kids occupied in the evening. pool and tennis court available, but also playgrounds all within walking distance. Closer to the theme parks and none of the hustle and bustle of surfers paradise. runaway bay shopping centre and helensvale within driving distance. biggera waters plaza with IGA and take-away eateries within walking distance. transfers from coolangatta airport through gold coast shuttle bus. my only small issue was that i didnt have a fully working vacuum or a mop bucket in our room, and the mop head was very dirty making it difficult to keep up to my living standards, however, apart from that we had a great time at pelican cove and will definitely stay there again, and recommend it to others we know. We also had the option of paying the accommodation off month by month so by the time we arrived it was paid for in full!
