Pelican Eyes Resort and Spa - San Juan del Sur

The hotel was beautiful! The rustic decor was beautiful! The rooms were very clean. The staff was more thn accomidating. The food was tasty, however the portions were s,all and pricey; especially in comparison to the area. My only complaint was that we had to wait for hotel transport within the hotel due o construction as well as the heavy winds t the […] time. The pools werebeautiul! The views were spectacular! I would defi salt stay here again. Read more

This is a very nice resort and we enjoy the large room and wide deck. It was well worth the price. There were a few drawbacks such as no hair dryer in the room, no umbrella on the very hot (afternoon) deck but overall it was lovely. The hotel is a 5 minute walk to town down a big big hill and the walkways in this spread out resort are quaint but very […] uneven. Pool had lots of leaves in it and could have been cleaned more often as it was windy and they blew in all the time. Food was not very good and orders were confused. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and got an expensive bottle instead. No fish in my fish and for some reason they asked us twice where the other 2 were (We were alone and made a reservation for 2) Waiter steered us to high price food and it was a race for him to get it all done fast even thought I once said I would like a bit slower pace. Bill was 3 times what it is in town for same meal but view is beautiful and this is a nice resort. At lunch we ordered a meal in the pool cafe that never arrived! Read more

I spent the Christmas holidays at Pelican Eyes with my wife and 18 and 20 year old kids. We loved it. The casa was fantastic and had everything we needed - a great kitchen, beautiful architecture, big bathrooms, a fantastic view of the bay and high speed wireless internet for the kids. Our casa was on the top of the hill. Be warned, there are lots […] (and lots of stairs). They are easily managed and meander trhoughout the resort. The pools and service was great. They could have used a few more chairs arounf the pools. Read more

The grounds and pools were beautiful, albeit very confusing to navigate (and especially at night, when we had a 15-minute uphill trek home from the base of our hotel to cabana at top). Would definitely recommend this more for a romantic getaway, but if you're looking for more social scene then suggest staying in one of the nicer casas in town that has […] more younger people and is closer to nightlife and cheaper restaurants. The food at Pelican Eyes was 3-6x more expensive than in town. Great and relaxing spa, highly recommend getting a body scrub there. Read more

Hotel was great, lots of walking though since the Casitas can be a bit far from the main building. Staff was very pleasant, and Giovanni at the bar was very helpful in getting us around in San Juan del Sur and Grananda. San Juan del Sur - Go while it’s still virgin. No McDonalds, No Starbucks which is awesome.

Just got married and we came to stay at one of the "habitaciones" here at Pelican Eyes. The place is beautiful. From the start we were greeted with a nice cold refreshing drink at the reception area while registering. The staff is friendly and always were helpful in all of our questions concerning the hotel and the local town. The views from most rooms […] and throughout the resort are breathtaking. The prices are a little on the higher side for the meals compared to the ones on the town but it's well worth it for the ambiance and service that you are getting. Over all our experience was great, got to relax when we wanted to and mingle with others when we chose to. I also recommend the half day sailing trip. For $50 it's well worth sailing the pacific coast line, a bargain I think. Read more

The Pelican Eyes was a terrific choice for our family of 5. The Casa and surrounding resort was charming and the staff very accomodating and friendly. The nearby town of San Juan del Sur was very rustic and fun. On the weekends, it seemed like a Latin American Bourbon street. We recommend this resort very highly and Nicaragua as a safe, great place […] to visit.. Sam(Cape Cod, Ma.) Read more

The views and plantings are magnificent. If you don't have a car, or strong legs to climb the hillside stairs, the hotel cars are often slow to bring you up or down. The Staff was lovely but untrained. Restaurants nearby are cheap and excellent. The hotel food was good but pricier.Seem to have nor senior staff.

For this hotel, I wanted to come up with a pros and cons list. It's not bad, but it's not that good either so: The pros: The location is good. The ocean view is amazing. The food was great. Nearby beaches are beautiful. The cons: A lot of bugs in the room. Had to fight every night with ants. They craw up the sheets onto the bed. Very annoying and kept […] waking me up. Found a couple of very small cockroaches too. Totally overpriced. Food and Room rate. Everything in Nicaragua is cheap. No way they charged that much for food. I could find any other good hotel nearby. So I'd probably go back. But would never eat there. Too expensive! Read more

Hotel staff (especially the two young ladies at the front desk) were very attentive and most spoke good English, room was clean, location was good (it is a small town), lovely views from some rooms, accommodations private, and quiet. Food however does require improving. Would recommend it for the price and would stay there again.

Overall an amazing hotel! We were surprised to get our own beautiful home rather then a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom hotel room. Gorgeous archtecture and stunning views of the town and the port of San Juan. Do heed the warnings about all the stairs... the complex is quite large and spread out on the side of a hill. While the front entrance is right in town, […] only a few blocks from the beach, you have to hike up a steep hill to get to the lobby. Then depending where your casa is within the complex you are looking at a minimum 5 to 10 minute hike up the myriad of staircases or a long distance trek to the top infinity pool and casas beyond! Of course, there is a complimentary shuttle service included to all parts of the hotel complex, going up to the room from the town, or from your room to the pool or lobby, etc. Read more

El hotel es una belleza. Nos dieron una cabaña con cocina, sala, comedor y porch. La habitacion es enorme y comoda y el baño excelente. La decoracion muy apropiada con el lugar y con muchos detalles. El unico pero es que esta lejos del pueblo y si no hubiéramos tenido auto, nos hubiera sido difícil transportarnos.
