Pelican Eyes: San Juan del Sur
Seafood shacks and sail boats line the shore of San Juan del Sur – a one-time sleepy fishing village that's now a favourite with surfers and sunbathers. Here, set above the crescent-shaped bay, Pelican Eyes stares down from its verdant hillside location with a collection of one-bed rooms, spacious studios, larger townhouses and family sized villas, all with kitchens and dining rooms. There are several pools in the grounds and two restaurants serving authentic local food.
