After a three day trip in the desert on the way up to Walvis the Protea was a welcome stop over. We chose to stay in Walvis as we figured that should we require service to our cars, Walvis would be a better stop than Swakopmund. The proved to be the cae as several cars in our group required repairs... More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night, after a long backroad drive from Windhoek, so we were really looking forward to arriving. Check in was smooth and painfree. The rooms are quite nice, not 5 star, but definitely the 4 star that this Protea has attached to it. The furniture has a beach feel about it, making it feel... More

View of the bay from rooms as well as the dining room. Watch flamingoes and pelicans before heading off for a stroll along the esplanade. Well set-up. If you are a non smoker make sure you request a no-smoking room. Plenty of parking.

We stayed only one night at the Pelican Bay Hotel and we can say the rooms, bathroom and restaurant were good or very good. No problems. The staff tryed to solve all the problems. The internet was very slow and the antivirus didn´t us to do anything. If you choose Walvis Bay to stay the Pelican can be a good... More

I've been there for three weeks and found a quiet ambience, clean rooms and good service. My only complain is about wifi coverage (you get a 60 minutes free voucher a day but in some rooms the wifi signal is low so you must go to the lobby, which is a nice one with chesterfield sofa and a fireplace), and...

I stayed at the Pelican Bay Hotel for two nights in early December. The staff did try -- walking over to get us some juice when we checked in -- but overall seemed clueless. One of the party had to change rooms because the room he was first given was not clean. It took me several people and several trips... More

The hotel is superbly located right on the lagoon at Walvis Bay, with Pelicans and (presumably in season) Flamingos visible from the bedroom windows (all bedrooms overlook the bay). The hotel is 100 yards from one of the best restaurants in town – The Raft - and within short walking distance of the departure point for the seal/dolphin cruises. The... More

The hotel is perfectly situated, but there 'n no feeling of beeing welcome. Hospitality is al about service. In Pelican bay you'll experience it all on your one. The restaurant has a daily dinnerbuffet. When you stay for a week, then you'll have each day the same choice. It 's a pity. I'll hope there 'll be a change in... More
