SURF RANCH · FOOD & DRINK
Poolside dining in San Juan del Sur
Pick a poolside lunch, compare the food and drinks menus, and see how to reserve a table or cabana with credit toward your order at Surf Ranch.
Lunch for two or a platter for four
For a light lunch for two, compare the fried plantains with cheese and pico de gallo with a plate of three tacos. The menu lists chicken, steak and vegetarian tacos. If the two of you want different fillings, choose separate orders.
For four people eating at different speeds, the sharing platter brings chicken fingers, fried plantains with cheese, chicken wings, fries, carrots, celery and ranch dip to the same table. It is listed under starters. For a full meal, check whether the group also wants an individual burger, wrap or quesadilla.
Breakfast and drinks by the pool
The breakfast menu gives two very different starts. The Nicaraguan breakfast comes with eggs, rice and beans, tortilla, ripe plantain and fruit. Pancakes come with syrup and fruit. Compare that with the vegetable and mozzarella omelette if you’d prefer toast alongside your eggs.
The drinks menu lists a mint mojito, a pineapple piña colada and a house Surf Ranch cocktail with vodka, blue curaçao and lemonade. Ask the bar what’s available that day. Guests with an all-inclusive booking should use the separate all-inclusive menu to see which drinks and dishes are covered.
A restaurant visit or a reserved space?
Pool access is free for bar and restaurant customers. If an exact poolside space matters, the day-pass map lets you choose available seating in advance. Adults aged 13 and up prepay US$15, children aged 2–12 US$10, and under-twos are free. Payment confirms the chosen space.
Two adults and two children aged 2–12 prepay US$50. The whole amount becomes food and drink credit in córdobas at the rate on your confirmation. Menu prices, tax and service apply to orders. Pay any amount above the credit at the resort. Unused credit expires on the visit date.
Eating here during an overnight stay
Direct rooms include breakfast. Guests choosing that plan can order lunch and dinner from the food menu and drinks from the bar menu. Guests choosing all-inclusive have three meals and the included drinks from 2 pm at check-in through noon at checkout.
If your table has a food allergy, tell the team which ingredient matters and ask about preparation before ordering. If several families plan to eat together, confirm seating with reception ahead of time.
