I really enjoyed my stay at Pelican Eyes Resort. The views from the resort are stunning, and the infinity pools are just as beautiful as the pictures. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience even more pleasant. However, I did find that the walk to the town could be challenging with all the steps, and the food wasn't quite up to par with my expectations.

Pelican Eyes is situated on a hill with amazing ocean views. Although the walk to San Juan del Sur is quick, it's important to be prepared for the uphill trek back.

The infinity pools are beautiful, but I wish there were more comfortable lounge chairs available. Also, the influx of visitors during sunset made it difficult to fully enjoy.
