The lake pool is amazing, the first week they were turning a blind eye about lilos but then the second week they were banned, I don't think that the staff were been killjoys as I've read that under Spanish law if a pool is over a certain size, inflatables are not allowed.

towel lady was on patrol from the 1st June, monitoring people coming and going, taking room numbers and removing towels from reserved beds. (good on her 
) She wasn't there on Sunday though, perhaps that's her day off. So if you want a nice swim at the Pelicanos and you're staying down the road, make it Sunday The pool bar was very reasonable for food. The Margarita pizzas were a decent size and very nice at only €5 although I thought that the drinks were quite expensive except when happy hour was on 5-6pm everyday. (hic!) They charge €3.30 for a pint of local lager whilst the Regente up the road is a € a pint cheaper and the soft drinks and water were quite pricey too.
The Kiddies playground was well equipped, it has a Flintstone theme and there are tables and chairs situated opposite which meant that we could watch the little one whilst we relaxed with a drink. There is also table tennis in that area too which costs €2 an hour, you pay €5 euros but get €3 back when you return the bats and ping pong ball.
The food was very good overall, always fresh, hot and plentiful although I thought that the evening meal lacked vegetables and the ones that they did have on offer were bland and overcooked. They have an Italian section every night which was great for the kids as they had pizza and pasta dishes as well as say hot dogs or burgers.
On a morning they cooked fresh pancakes and omelette's to order as well as having a multiple of choice of other things i.e. there were meats cheeses, fruit, full English breakfast, cereals, rolls, toast, buns, boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, need I go on.
At busy times it was sometimes difficult to get a laid up table but if you sat down and caught one of the staffs eyes then they would hurry over and clear and lay it swiftly.
The hygiene standards both in the restaurant and around the hotel were second to none. I didn't hear of anyone who had been ill or complaining about cleanliness. (You usually get one don't you
) The room was of a decent size for the 4 of us although it lacked drawer space but we managed. We had a nice corner room which got the sun all afternoon.
I cannot speak about the entertainment as we went out every night except one night when they had a Spanish Trio Instrumental group on stage. Not really our cup of tea but everyone to their own.
We did rifle shooting one day which was run by a nice Portuguese lad called Pedro. they also have archery and bowls e.t.c. during the day but it's poorly advertised, they could do with publicising it a bit more.
I would not hesitate in staying at this hotel again but not if there were building works going on in the close proximity. It didn't spoil our holiday but I would have preferred to wake up naturally instead of by the pile driver.
