Unforgettable time at El Pescador
Simply magnificent trip! Celebrated our 30th anniversary in this gorgeous setting. The lodge and staff went above and beyond. The food is phenomenal and the accommodations are lovely. We will be back!

Best in class
Been going to El Pescador for years and always can't believe it gets better each time. Of course it starts with the beach side beauty of San Pedro, but the resort's recent renovations and outstanding upkeep makes it one of the top resorts in the area. However, what really makes the experience come to life is the staff that makes you feel like family. Can't wait to come back.

Top shelf fishing lodge, great food, staff, and fishing, with very chill vibe
This was our second time at El Pescador, first time was Jan’20. The lodge has an extremely warm and welcoming vibe, the whole staff creates that feeling. The food is absolutely top notch, especially the 6:30 dinners in their lovely outdoor dining room. We fished three days, two on the flats, and one day reef fishing. This part of Belize has a great and diverse fishery, with lots of bonefish (on the smaller side), and good opportunities to catch permit, tarpon and snook, depending on the weather of course. They have long tenured guides, who know the local waters, and are good instructors if you want that. The rooms and beds are very clean and comfortable, we stayed in a 3-room villa that had a kitchen, dining room and living room where we played cards after dinner. We also loved the bar, where we watched a lot of football, and played pool and darts. They have two nice pools where we could cool off after fishing. Overall a great place, would highly recommend to any fishermen/women.

The best food, the best people, the best time ever! They were really personable and attentive to making sure our stay was the best it could be. I am coming back. Thank you El Pescador!

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.
