I waited 45 minutes after 3 o’clock in order to get my code I had to bag to cleaner to get my code. The room was immaculate for the hotel itself was kind of sketchy.

Its definitely not like what is pictured. Bathroom floor seemed like it had mold, the shower faucet handle was missing. The rooftop was missing everything pictured but chairs.Aside from all that it was convenient location to get around.

Booking a room at the Pelican wasn't a thing until i arrived. i wasn't please with how my room was. i called the receptionist and i was able to get accommodations. with that said i can say Bali Posh hotel is Great From the look, the smell, the staff, the food. what more could this New Yorker ask for. for my first time flying?booking a room my experience was great. Eli,Gabriela,Amanda,Javier are just four of the great office staff there. Gio and Jorge are the best bartenders i have came across in a very long time. Oh by the way Jorge isn't actually the bartender he is the owner of the restaurant on the property. My trip there i met awesome fellow stayers. don't hold back book your stay at Bali Posh Hotel its worth the money. See you guys soon and thank you from the bottom of my heart . #Room 1

The pictures on their website look NOTHING like the rooms. My bathroom vanity was cracked and the side was peeling. The drawer to bathroom vanity was broken. They gave me someone else's room number AND room code at check in. The guy staying in the room next to us said they gave him the wrong room and code too. The worst part - no water! We stayed 4 nights and the water was shut of 5 times. When we had water - the shower water pressure was BARELY THERE. Impossible to get a hold of "management". Terrible. Not worth the bargain price.

First of all, i was given a code for the front door; HOWEVER i did not need to put the code because i can literally just push the door & it’ll open. Second i almost slipped, the hallway floors were wet and there was no warning sign! Third when we walked into the BOX it looked nothing like the pictures we saw online. It was dirty, the woods from under the bed TO HOLD THE BED FELL! Bed was unstabled. When we went to the rooftop to look for the pool; there was NONE! When i contacted the property for my concern and complaint about the room nobody got back to me, i contacted them twice thru text so i called and the lady put me on hold for 5mins then i explained to her & said put your complaint at this email. Overall the experience was terrible & not what we expected!

There is a code to get into the property however I got in without it because the gate was open. If I can get in, so can anybody else without a code. I did not feel safe. There was no one around to ask questions to. The code I was given for my room did not work. In order to get help you have to call a number in which they did not answer until the 3rd time I called. they provided me with a wrong email to contact about a refund in which they did not give me. I booked 2 hours before and when I saw that the area was unsafe, parking is outside of the premises on the street and anyone can just get into the hotel, they refuse to refund any money. I understand policies, however, if I feel I can have just walked right in who is not to say anyone can just walk in and I did not feel safe at all.

Flooded Room/ZERO accountability/damages

The hotel has a pipe burst days before our arrival and our room was flooded while we were out exploring the area. We arrived to a soaking room and floating luggage. They have yet to refund or accept accountability in regards to the added expense of checking another bag (I had to buy another piece of luggage) because water is heavy and I would be 29 lbs over weight on my checked bag. My spouse and I sustained injuries from slipping on the tile in the flooded room and pelican poshtels have yet to agree to take care of our medical bills. I would avoid this property like a plague if possible

We had a terrible stay at this property. As soon as we arrived, we found the window to our room broken and open to the outside as well as multiple active leaks in the roof creating deep puddles across the room. We immediately contacted management to see what could be done, and they said they would look into the issues, however we then never heard from them again even after multiple attempts to contact them. They completely ghosted us and did nothing for the issue at all even as the leaks worsened. Even when we tried to ask for housekeeping to clean the floor and receive extra towels as we had used ours for the puddles, they refused to answer and provided no housekeeping (despite housekeeping being advertised as provided upon request). This property felt unsafe, unclean, and the management was absolutely horrible. I am still in disbelief at the fact that they refused to communicate with us after we brought up a genuinely concerning issue.

Never again! Made it the room after a very long day with two minors to find out that the facility doesn't count with hot water!! Unbelievable!! There is no one on site to help. Tried to communicate this via text to someone who apparently doesn't care because the only thing this person said was "we haven't had this issue in the past days". The water handle in the shower ONLY turns to the cold side and once you try to turn it the hot side it shuts off. $250 for 1 night and we have no hot water. These people are very quick to charge you but they are like ghosts. No employees on site. No security! The rooms smell like mold. They have no soap available. The hot tub shown in the pictures was nowhere to be found. Very humid area. The facility is quite old. I've paid less for something way more comfortable and WITH hot water. I would NOT recommend this place!
