Peaceful Pelican lived up to its name. We had a enjoyable and restful time, especially sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch watching the water. The rooms were lovely and the service great. We play to return.

We went to a class reunion in Palacios. We did not expect to find such a lovely place to stay. Edith helped make our reunion even more enjoyable. She also went above and beyond her duties by returning a lonely pillow we left there.
