The white, two-story lodge faces east and fronts the calm caribbean. Guests will enjoy the great expanse of beach. Swimmers will appreciate the gentle surf, and snorklers will delight in the large coral reef which angles in toward the beach right in front of the lodge.

The newly constructed lodge is a small but impressive structure and is nicely decorated with original art. The lodge was designed as a "low environmental impact" facility, and therefor employs solar panels and a windmill for electricity generation. Regular 110-volt power is not availiable, but electricity is stored in 12-volt batteries for powering bedside reading lights.

Meals are sumptuous family style breakfast and dinner with box lunches served on board. Meals include fresh lobster and crab in season. Punta Pelicano has beer and domestic mixed drinks available at the lodge.

From the lodges breezy balcony, guests enjoy a commanding view of the Caribbean. Its completely private setting assures a peaceful, invigorating atmosphere. Three double-occupancy rooms accommodate a total of six guests. Each room has a private dressing room with a sink, but shares a common bath.

Punta Pelicano Lodge and the waters of Ascension Bay are located within the Sian Ka'an Bioshere Reserve, a United Nations Wildlife Preserve. Apart from the bountiful game fish, visitors to the lodge will also marvel at the plethora of bird species, including roseated spoonbills, flamingos, pelicans, heron, osprey, egrets and many others. Sea turtles and aligators are also seen time to time.
