Reviews for El Pescador
El Pescador 2026!
I was the host for a group of 13 that had never been to El Pescador before. The staff at the lodge was incredible. They took for care of us from the moment we stepped off the plane until the moment we left Belize. The fishing was amazing and the lodge staff was very accommodating. The lodge was clean and well put together. We had some travel issues on the first day and the lodge was very helpful in getting us all sorted out. Looking forward to our next trip to El Pescador 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic Trip
El Pescador Lodge is amazing. The staff, accommodations and meals are 5-star quality. The fishing was also top-notch. I'm already making plans to come back!

Meh
Fishing is probably good if the wind is not blowing. If the wind is blowing, casting is going to be challenging and fish are going to be hard to find. You might get away with bringing your family. if it's only your wife. If you bring kids, there's very little for them to do except for the pool, because there is no beach to speak of. On a brighter note, the dining staff and bar servers are wonderful, along with the food.

Fantastic Trip!
Loved it! Had a wonderful "couples" trip to Ambergris Caye! One went fly fishing every day, while the other lounged at the pool, read books, and got massages every day! The food was great: Breakfast, lunch on the boat and at the restaurant, buffet prix fixe dinner. The staff is so good! Bartenders at Snack Time were great - they remembered our chosen beverages. Front desk, Restaurant, Housekeeping, Groundkeepers, etc. were all friendly and kind.

El Pescador is worth visiting
Weather was a culprit being too chilly and negatively impacting fishing. My guide and mate were very good working hard to make the best of it. Lodge is terrific. Food is excellent and staff is very friendly and competent.

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.
