Sherman's Expert Review

Anchored by Pelican Hill Golf Club with two Tom Fazio-designed courses, this scrumptious addition to the Newport Coast was inspired by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. Spread out on 504 acres of hills above the ocean, the landscape is planted with mature fig trees, century-old olive trees,more and rows of lavender. Each of the resort’s 204 one-story bungalows has parking nearby and is fitted with a limestone fireplace, hand-hewn wood beam ceiling, and private oceanview terrace. Among the copious offerings are several unique dining experiences, coliseum-style pool, spa with 22 treatment rooms, and organized activities for children of all ages.

"Many WOW factors at this place."

As soon as we drove up to the villa gates, we knew we were going to have a fun time checking out this place. My husband, three kids and my parents stayed in a 3-bedroom villa. We originally reserved a two-bedroom, but we were gladly upgraded. The... more

I had my first and only experience so far at the lobby bar.  The wine selection is fabulous and Vinny the bartender was very engaging.  The only surprise was when I got the bill and my glasses of wine were $30 each.  Seemed awfully steep and... more

"Beautiful Property / Mediocre Service"

I had been to the property a half a dozen times or so before getting the time away to stay the night (was there for dinners, parties, etc). We recently had that chance to stay, and had a very mixed experience. The resort itself is fabulous, the... more

Woohooo! As good as it gets! This is the best resort there is. The service is outstanding the rooms are amazing. From the bathtub you have a view of the fireplace, the ocean and the TV. The pool is the best. This is the ultimate romantic getaway!

"They've Got Something Here"

This is without a doubt, a beautiful hotel. The rooms are magnificent, beautiful and comfortable. This is where they shine. They've anticipated almost every need possible with their amenities. We stayed in a bungalow and it was the equivalent of a... more

I took my mother and mother-in-law here for tea last weekend, and it was delightful!  Our server was very attentive, and the food was very good.  We ordered the traditional tea, and we all really loved everything, especially the scones and sweets.... more

"Exceptional, in the Extreme"

It's very difficult to articulate how good this resort is. Arrived in a large Villa beginning in June for our family summer break. The resort is brand new but shows no signs of missing a beat in terms of staff competency.. It's as if the resort was... more

We stayed for several days in the Villas. The person we booked with was great but learned he was not there any longer and the attention that he would have given was absent. It's a beautiful place and there wer famous sports figures and stars at the... more
