Spent five nights at Pelican Eyes leading up to Christmas...overall an excellent resort, with a few caveats. As the other reviews mention, this resort is built into the side of a hill, overlooking the town of SJDS and the bay - awesome views, very quiet and peaceful....original casitas and villas were built first and they continue to build up the...

First of all, I want to point out that it's much easier to write a positive review on Tripadvisor. If you access my other pages, you will see that I have written many positive reviews for other hotels, including the Casa San Francisco in Granada. Unfortunately I cannot write a positive one about Hotel Pelican Eyes, as there are some... More

Beatiful hotel without an inch of grounds that is not planned with building or landscaping. Service and security to the point of being militant. There were workers everywhere. We loved the place. The food was great. It was very private and beautiful. Two great pool areas with nice views of San Juan Del Sur. Downsides: There is a lot of... More

Spent 2 nights here (Aug. 29 - 30). The property is beautiful. The ammenities are fantastic. The service is a good as can be expected in a developing country that is just beginning to develop it's tourism industry with this hotel (and a handful of others) being the center of the new tourism industry. Because of the fragile infustructure of... More

This is a truly beautiful resort. We had a villa with two bedrooms, bathroom, a beautiful living room, and a fully equipped kitchen (great to make your strong Nicaraguan coffee, which is hard to get from most restaurants in Nicaragua, or to cook fresh lobsters, fish, and shrimp). The views are to die for, from the villas and from the... More

I have personally staying in 5 star hotels all over. This hotel has some of the best customer service I've ever experience. The rooms are very nice and at great value. The food is excellent. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a little pampering (with comforts of home) after roughing it in the beautiful Nicaragua! Book early... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on a week long trip to Nicaragua (2 adults and 2 kids). We booked one of the larger suites with an ocean view and it was near the very top of the hill. This place is so large, do not think of it as a hotal - think of it like renting a condo... More

We loved the horizon pools, the food was very good, the Suite was spacious, but not too much room. We most especillay loved the the sailing trip which took us to a deserted beach for the day. You do have a huge hill and many steps to walk up whenever you are returning to your room or to go to... More
