Pelican Eyes Resort & Spa

If you are looking to stay right in San Juan del sur than this might be ok for you. It’s walking distance. Although it’s a steep walk up! The units are nice enough. Ours had a small private pool. The restaurant is closed and the main community pool is closed, which we didn’t know and they were listed on the Airbnb listing. Our son slept on the foldout sofa and found a scorpion in his bed. I guess that’s Nica for you.

Resort was NO resort! No restaurant, No bar, dirty pool, no lounge chairs set up, sandstone pool deck literally falling apart, not safe to walk on. Staff-extremely unfriendly and unhelpful! Expect $20-$30 taxi if you just want to leave the property and go a few blocks. We paid for 2 nights and didn’t even stay!

Absolutely BRILLIANT. I booked for 3 nights and eventually changed my future plans and stayed for 8. What a lovely place! I started in Roble apartment which had a lovely terrace with sea view, and the apartment itself was so comfortable and the kitchen very well equipped. The wifi was terrific as every apartment has its own device. The pool was lovely too. I had to switch to Limon partway through my extended stay as Roble was booked, which was a bit cheaper but also terrific, with a garden and side sea view. I didn't want to leave and, as I sit in Playa Maderas, wish I hadn't! The staff were ALL excellent, from security staff and the girls who cleaned the rooms or gave me the room keys to Eliezer who handled a zillion questions from me promptly and professionally via WhatsApp before and during my stay. And in English, which I appreciated as my Spanish is limited. The accommodation is up a series of steps and far enough from town that you've no idea it's a party town below. Yet numerous great eating venues are only a few minutes' walk away, as is the market if you want to to cook in the apartment. It's the nicest place I've stayed in my 4 weeks in Nicaragua and one I'd love to revisit.

I took my family for lunch and to enjoy the pool - we had a great time. Excellent and welcoming service , the food was some of the best in San Juan - a great spot to enjoy the afternoon. The grounds are well maintained , but a bit of an uphill walk to get there.

We visited this restaurant a week ago! The food was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend this place for any visitors to San Juan. We went around 3 o’clock in the afternoon enjoyed the pool had appetizers and then our dinner. And then of course the amazing sunset! Two hoots for the amazing chef for his fantastic preparation and presentation ... I think his name was Eddie!
