Chemistry--- I have been fortunate to travel to many destinations, fishing, lodges and resorts. It is not the "stars" or the "brands" it is the chemistry and caring of the staff that they can create within a facility that make your stay in remote places memorable. No where have I experienced this better than El Pescador. I brought my son, who is a novice fly fisherman for our first -of what will likely be many-visits. The staff and guides were wonderful to him and the resort can provide experiences for guests of all levels of angling experience. Unlike many fishing destinations-there is plenty to do here on the island for the non-angler or spouse. Snorkeling is world class, local "vibes" in town are nearby and memorable. The resort pools and other amenities are top notch. Go.

We didn’t want to leave! Eben & the entire El Pescador family were so welcoming from the moment we landed in San Pedro. We were immediately greeted with open arms and whisked away to an awesome adventure! The accommodations are top notch, the food is to die for, and the fishing and excursions are phenomenal! This place does not disappoint. The entire facility is clean and very well kept. The lodge family is there for you every minute. Our fishing guide Cesar is the best! We caught different species on the fly. He knows these waters like the back of his hand and is an expert boat handler and an excellent teacher. As a fly angler I really enjoyed his passion and patience. My wife snorkeled, went on a catamaran excursion, and had a massage. We spent the day in San Pedro shopping, chilled at the bar, swam in the pool, enjoyed reading under the palm trees, and soaked in the island life. We will return. To Eben and the entire El Pescador family…thank you for making our experience so memorable!

We came in June and experienced miserable weather. Even so, in three days of fishing our boat landed many bones, one tarpon (small) and one permit. I’m definitely coming back when conditions are better. Bring 16 lb tippet and good leaders. I brought a 10 wt for tarpon, a 7 for bones, and an 8 for permit. In review, I’d keep the 7 at home because the winds were CRAZY! In better conditions the 7 or even a 6 wt would be perfect, assuming that you can shoot 70 feet of line in 15 mph winds.

El Pescador has carved out a real niche for itself. Its combination of comfortable and gracious living in a totally relaxed, outdoor setting is unique and has a charm all its own. When asked by Steve for our suggestions about how to make it better, we were hard pressed to come up with anything substantive.
I don't know whether you embrace all of your guests as you did our little family, but we felt as though we were being welcomed into a wonderfully warm, interesting, and entertaining family that we were only too happy to be adopted by.
