Colorful cliffside resort with 70 villas, three pools, an open-air restaurant and a spa overlooking the Pacific Gaudi goes tropical. Legend has it that Pelican Eyes founder Chris Berry saw this cliffside plot from his sailboat, Pelican Eyes, and vowed to build Nicaragua’s first luxury resort. That he did, and today there are three pools, two restaurants and 70 romantic studios and villa-like casas all overlooking the colorful fishing village of San Juan del Sur.
