At Pelican Beach, we want your family’s getaway to be memorable for all the right reasons — relaxation, quality time, and lifelong memories. We understand that unexpected events can sometimes interfere with even the best-planned trip. That’s why we strongly recommend travel insurance — it offers peace of mind and helps protect your vacation investment if plans change before or during your stay.
Travel insurance is widely used across the travel industry by vacationers and resorts alike because it helps safeguard against many common uncertainties — illness, weather, travel delays, or other covered events that might impact your trip. Plans can:
• Protect prepaid, non-refundable trip costs (including your Pelican Beach reservation) if you must cancel or interrupt for a covered reason.
• Reimburse cancellation fees or change charges when you need to adjust your travel plans.
• Cover unexpected travel or medical emergencies when you’re away from home.
• Offer assistance services 24/7, such as help with flights, hotel changes, or emergency support while you’re traveling.
• Ease worry for families with children or multi-generation travel, since coverage options can be tailored to group size and trip value.
Travel insurance plans are typically a small percentage of your overall trip cost — yet they can protect you from losing much more if something unforeseen occurs.
Travel insurance isn’t required to reserve your stay, but it can significantly reduce financial risk. Examples of what it can cover include:
Trip Cancellation: Reimbursement of non-refundable trip costs if you must cancel for covered reasons like sudden illness or severe weather.
• Trip Interruption: Coverage if an emergency forces you to cut your vacation short and return home early. Generali Travel Insurance
• Travel Delay: Compensation for extra expenses if your travel is delayed.
• Emergency Assistance: Support with medical emergencies, lost luggage, and travel logistics while away from home.
Adding travel protection can help mitigate fees associated with cancellations or changes made within restricted timeframes.
Note: Exact deposit and refund terms are shown at booking and in your confirmation so you can review them clearly before you commit.
Do I have to buy travel insurance to book with Pelican Beach?
No — travel insurance is optional. However, we highly recommend it, especially for families with non-refundable travel arrangements.
Can I add travel protection after booking?
Yes. Most providers allow you to add travel insurance through final payment or shortly after booking for best coverage.
Does travel insurance cover children?
Many plans include children at no additional cost, and family-centric options are available from top carriers.
Choosing travel insurance is a small investment that can make your Pelican Beach vacation more secure and stress-free. Whether it’s a family beach week, a multi-generation holiday, or a spontaneous getaway, travel protection helps ensure that your focus stays on what matters most — quality time together.

When you look forward to travel, the last thing you want to do is think about something going wrong. Still, even the best-planned trips can be impacted by sudden illness, medical emergency, natural disaster, adverse weather, delayed flights, road closures, and other events beyond your control. These troubles can happen when least expected, forcing you to cancel or interrupt your trip, lose your non-refundable trip costs, and take on unplanned expenses. Travel insurance helps protect your trip investment if you have to cancel or interrupt your plans because of a covered event.
