My wife and I stayed for a week at El Pescador and could not have imagined a finer time or better service. From the time we landed at the airport, to the boat, then at the lodge. The entire staff went out of their way to assist you or answer any question you have. We fished with one of the... More

The El Pescador Famil (as they like to refer to all of their staff) is without equal. They truly delivered on a 10-day vacation I toke with my wife. Top notch fishing guides are premier attraction for fisherman. Any family member that isn't justifiably obsessed with the outstanding fishing in Ambergris will surely find comfort and peace on immaculately kept... More

Our week-long stay at El Pescador was super in so many ways. We spoke with Ali, one of the owners, several times before traveling to Belize, and she provided information not only for our Ambergris Caye stay but for the rest of our trip throughout Belize, too. My husband's fishing guide was excellent, as was Laurie, the director of fishing... More

Just returned from our trip with another couple to El Pescador. As before the weather was great. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Rooms are spacious. My fiancé fished for the first time and had a blast. The guides were helpful even with us being beginners. The setting is charming, food is excellent, and everyone was laid back and having... More

We just returned from a 10 day stay at El Pescador in Belize. We have visited there before, but this time we went with our 2 girls (ages 3 and 1). We had the best vacation ever! The girls especially loved the pool, the beach, fishing from the dock, and the food. We had great weather and took advantage of... More

From the moment Ricardo picked us up from the airport to the moment Steve & Isa escorted us out on the dock to leave, El Pescador became our "Home Away From Home". I can not say enough about the staff & owners. They always had a smile on their face, willing to help, and made you feel like family. They... More

There were some positives to staying at el pescador: 1. The rooms were large. 2. The food was very good. 3. Most of the staff (particularly the kitchen staff) was extremely nice. However, there were other issues which outweighed these features: 1. It was apparent that El Pescador caters solely to fishing (which I'm sure they do very well). But... More

Our sincerest apologies for the rude and completely unacceptable behavior of our staff member that you mention in your review. As I believe you experienced from the rest of the staff and management, our guest services are something that we take extremely seriously; which normally not only meet, but exceed, guests' expectations.I am particularly sorry that you did not say...

My husband and I just returned from 8 days at El Pescador, which now ranks as our greatest vacation ever! Our March 2010 trip to El Pescador was by far our best warm weather vacation, but El Pescador has raised the bar making it our favorite destination, period! The grounds of this resort are still achingly beautiful, and the staff... More

one of our best vacation's ever. we learned so much about flyfishing from kachu and even caught a permit along with bone fish. the jack was huge, pulled in during a brief, warm rainstorm. the permits were small, but "a permit is a permit." my girlfriend caught a ladyfish and we were warned what those ladyfish do when pulled in...
