Fantastic Food Experience

I visited the restaurant at Pelican Eyes Resort and was blown away by the food! The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the preparation was great. I particularly enjoyed the octopus dish, which was cooked to perfection. The ambiance coupled with the stunning ocean view made the dining experience truly nice. I highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting San Juan del Sur.

Beautiful Pool Area

The pool area at Pelican Eyes is nothing short of gorgeous! The infinity pools offer amazing views of the ocean, and I spent countless hours relaxing there. The peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect spot to unwind. I loved the fact that the pools were well-maintained, and their design complemented the natural beauty surrounding the resort.

Stunning Accommodation

I stayed in a beautiful villa with a stunning sea view. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, and nicely appointed. I especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen which allowed me to enjoy home-cooked meals. The balcony was a perfect spot for morning coffee while soaking in the scenery. It was truly a retreat I didn't want to leave!

Great WIFI Connection

One feature I found especially beneficial during my stay was the excellent WiFi connection in my room. Each apartment had its own device, ensuring I could easily stay connected while enjoying my vacation. This was really helpful for planning day trips and sharing my amazing experiences with family back home without any hassle.

This hotel has some stunning views and great potential, but my stay was quite disappointing. The rooms were outdated and not clean, which doesn’t align with their price. The location had its perks, especially at sunset, but the service left much to be desired, making me hesitant to recommend this place.

The hotel has a beautiful layout and offers decent breakfast options, but the overall experience was marred by some logistical issues, including limited restaurant availability and unfriendly staff. While the pool area and service were commendable, the rooms left much to be desired, making it feel overpriced for what you get.

The room was old and not very clean, with a noisy and ineffective air conditioning unit. I noticed dust in the room and a few roaches in the bathroom—definitely not what I expected for the price.

The property is spacious, but getting to and from our room could be a hassle as it was a bit of a trek. The hotel is not easily accessible, and I often opted to walk to the main area, which took about 10-15 minutes.

Breakfast was included, but the food was just average and not varied enough, leaving me wishing for more options, especially considering the higher price point.

Facilities

The pool area was nice, but the setup could use some improvement with more comfortable loungers. It was also difficult to find amenities due to limited dining options on-site.

The property is stunning with beautiful pools and gorgeous views, making it an appealing place to stay. However, basic amenities were lacking, particularly with the towel situation at the pool and the comfort of the lounge chairs. The restaurant options were also limited during my visit. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot with potential but could use some upgrades and better service.

The pool area was lovely, making it a great spot to relax. However, the pool chairs could use some cushions for added comfort, and I found the towel policy a bit frustrating.
