Pink Pearl Island RESORT

If you looking to go to a private Caribbean Island in Nicaragua and want some peace and quiet as well as a gorgeous beach, coral to snorkel around straight of the sand and a really amazing beachfront hotel then I highly recommend this place. The rooms are confortable, clean and on the beach. The food is really good and the beach is clean and lovely! They staff were able to answer every question I had, made me feel confident and comfortable. It was awesome!

Pink Pearl Island is a little island but Nestor and Eric got us around to see neighboring islands and the area is very spectacular. Snorkeling was great, we got to see many colorful fish. The next day we went fishing and it was a lot of fun. The guys and girls on the island are good company and very friendly. Loved to go to sleep with the sound of the waves. Yes, it was definitely one of our favorite spots...Truly a great place. I wish I was still there.

I can return in heartbeat.

Unfortunately, we had a number of issues with our trip not only prevented us from experiencing the island but also prevented us from creating a back-up plan.

1. We had a group of 10 people and the boat they organized for us was too small to transport us effectively. We had to cut our luggage down which we were happy to do and after 30 minutes, we turned back to port to find another boat. Unfortunately, the back-up boat was only marginally bigger then our first boat and the engine power was much less than the first. After another 30 min, we turned around back to land with the crew claiming the police called them stating unsafe conditions. There was no phone call, I was facing the crew the entire time, this was frustrating. No back-up plan and lying about why we could not go out. It was known well in advance that we had 10 people and appropriate transportation should have been arranged.

2. The crew stated that they would have a back-up plan within an hour, for another try to the island the following day. We explained we needed a quick response so we might try to book flights out, if they could not organize another way to the island. They took several hours to get back to us and ignored repeated calls. While waiting for their response, we were by the dock, and again noted many boats going out to sea. The weather was good the entire time.

3. When we finally heard from the crew, they did not have an adequate plan but unfortunately they had responded so late that the flights that were previously available were no longer available. So unfortunately, we were not able to create a backup plan to recover the rest of the trip and instead wasted the end part of our trip. In addition to this, we were forced to find and pay for the back-up hotel.

A very frustrating experience in general, especially given how much we spent. I'm sure the island would have been great to experience but the lack of planning, foresight and communication ruined what would have been a great trip. The lack of communication prevented us from creating a back-up plan to get out of Bluefields to experience something else in Nicaragua.

It has been sometime since our trip and still awaiting a refund. There has been no compensation at all offered for the time wasted or the cost of the hotels we paid as back-up. I hope this doesn't occur to anyone else.

Overwhelming and Fantastic Experience!!

What a great experience! The pictures are great but there is not a picture that you can take that will capture the wonderful spirit of the staff of PINK PEARL ISLAND RESORT. We travelled as a family (7 adults + 2 babies) and nothing was too difficult for these caring and down to earth people. This is more than a destination, it is an EXPERIENCE! Great isolated location, awesome amenities, extremely clean, 4 magnificent cabins and super friendly staff. I will never forget this vacation!!! Thanks to Pedro Nestor Shan Dargga and the entire team at Pink Pearl Island for making this the best time of my life! We can’t recommend Pink Pearl Island enough and have already started to plan our next trip back!

The island is calm, relaxing, beautiful and with natural beauty. One of the finest white sand beaches we have ever seen. It was clean and the service was good. We arrived to the Bluefields airport first ad then by private boat to the island. The ride was a little over an hour and the boat ride through the river is scenic and reminds you of a green jungle. The last 20 minutes we crossed to the Caribbean ocean and in the Pearl cays and the scenery looks like Fiji or the Maldives. The Nicaraguan Pearl islands are coral reef islands with sand beaches and tall coconut trees. Nestor Armando and Dargga were kind and helpful. We would recommend it to anyone that loves the Caribbean and wants to have a whole private island to themselves.
