El Pescador

El Pescador Review

Nearly every hotel on Ambergris Caye claims that it offers fishing trips, but this resort has the best angling resources. Loosely described as a "fishing camp," the main lodge is actually a handsome colonial house with comfortable, if not luxurious, rooms and a swimming pool. Adjoining the lodge in two groupings, each with a pool, are deluxe one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, starting at BZ$872 for a double in-season including 9% hotel tax. You can enjoy a fine meal, served family style in the dining room, or a drink on the veranda. Many guests arrive as part of a fishing package; prices start at BZ$3,270 per person, double occupancy, for three nights, including fishing guide, boat, meals, local drinks, and taxes. The resort has a fly-fishing shop and offers fly-fishing lessons. Diving packages are also available. Complimentary bikes and kayaks are on offer, as well.
