The Resort at Pelican Hill Site Inspection

Last week I visited Newport Coast. Just one hour  from Los Angeles, you will find this extra ordinary resort nestled in the hills, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.



The architectural style of the resort is inspired by the works of Andrea Palladio, an Italian architect from the 16th century. The beauty and harmony you feel is the result of thousands of small details- from the Italian plaster finish that enhances with age to the hand-made terra cotta finials sculpted by a master ceramicist.

The overall vision was to create a Northern Italian environment. Groves of olive trees, rows of lavender, cypress, fig and pine trees plus 45 foot Canary palms grace the Resort evoking a timeless, authentic landscape. A natural setting that relaxes and invites strolling throughout the grounds.


Pelican Hill offers the amenities of an ultra luxury hotel with the relaxed comforts of a home away from home.

You have the choice of Bungalows and Villas:

Bungalow Guest Rooms & Suites
Guest rooms that are clustered in one-story bungalows with private terraces, fireplaces and adjacent parking. Most rooms offer ocean views.

The Villa Club
A private enclave within the resort featuring the North & South Villas with 2, 3 & 4 bedrooms that are served by their own staff. They also offer a private clubhouse with gracious great room, dining room, fitness center, infinity pool with luxurious cabanas, whirlpool spa and children's wading pool. Most villas offer expansive ocean views.

A wealth of ammeneties from a 36 holes golf course, The Spa at Pelican Hill, 136 diameter Coliseum Pool, Kid's Program, several lunch and dining options and butler service will make this get away a very unique one.

Paper Arrival/Departure Forms for Visa Waiver Program Travelers to be Eliminated

Paper Arrival/Departure Forms for Visa Waiver Program Travelers to be Eliminated - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced that following a successful seven-month pilot program conducted with the support of the Government of New Zealand on Air New Zealand flights from Auckland to Los Angeles International Airport, the use of paper I-94W forms will be eliminated for travelers from countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) with an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) arriving in the United States at all airports by the end of this summer. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will activate automated processing for U.S. airports on a rolling basis over the next several months.

The elimination of the paper I-94W form enables travelers to provide basic biographical, travel and eligibility information automatically through ESTA prior to departure for the United States. The CBP recommends that travelers submit ESTA applications as soon as an applicant begins making travel plans. ESTA applications may be submitted at any time prior to travel, and once approved, will be valid for two years or until the applicant's passport expires. For more information about ESTA, please visit cbp.gov.
