The El Pescador Family invites you and your family to join them for a relaxing stay at our seaside resort. The colonial style lodge, situated on a private coconut studded beach, is slightly isolated and away from the hustle and bustle of crowds yet close enough to San Pedro to enjoy a day shopping or an evening in town. El Pescador is nestled on the Bahia del Punta Arena with an immaculate beach of graceful palms and flowering tropical plants. El Pescador is the perfect vacation destination for fly fishing fanatics and their non fishing friends and relatives!  Few Caribbean destinations can match the world class fishing with the world class diving, activities, accommodations and service that El Pescador offers.

"There are loads of destinations in the Americas where you can experience good fishing for one species or another... There is one destination however, where tarpon, snook, permit and bonefish are all fair game. You should experience El Pescador Lodge on the ocean side of Ambergris Caye, Belize. I have... and I'll be back... As soon as I get off the diet that I needed when I returned home."  -Flip Pallot

Although the lodge caters to fly fishing enthusiasts our guides are happy with conventional gear as well.. Extra rods, reels, and tackle are available at the lodge. Go outside the reef into the deep water for Billfish and Wahoo, cast the lagoons for Lady Fish or Snook, troll the reef for King fish or Barracuda, jig the bottom for Snapper and Grouper ...or head out to the tarpon flats with a fly rod in your hand!   Our courteous, English Speaking Fishing Guides are trained to accommodate every type of angler at every skill level. "Bliss in Belize....a rod, a reel and a tarpon". - Time Magazine

After an exhilarating day fishing, enjoy the numerous other wonders Belize has to offer. The Caribbean Country is host to diverse activities and abundant natural beauty. Under the pristine azure sea lies the world's largest living coral reef, acclaimed to be one of the world's best destinations for Scuba Diving. Speckled with 200 cayes our barrier reef is home to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark and Sting Ray Alley. On the mainland, a short flight away, the magic of Belize stretches back for centuries. Explore mighty Mayan ruins, the lush rainforest, exotic wildlife and beautiful orchids. Guided trips to these exceptional destinations are available on a daily basis through the lodge.

• Scuba Dive the countless finger canyons and caves that create part of the longest living barrier reef in the world.
• Snorkel the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Mexico Rocks, enjoy the ancient Mayan ruins, the lush rainforest and exotic wildlife. Watch and visit with friendly manatees, or swim with tame sting rays and nurse sharks.

El Pescador lodge features a long verandah overlooking the beach and the pool and the barrier reef. The immaculate beach reflects the well maintained mahogany building. We have accommodations for 28 people but restrict the number of fishing guests so we insure productive fishing. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable with private baths, overhead fans and air-conditioning.
 The intimate, well stocked bar features an exquisite fresh fruit rum punch and is the perfect place to swap stories after a day's activities. Hors d'oeuvres are served in the evening. Buffet style meals are a delightful blend of both local and American dishes consisting of fresh seafood, a meat selection, potatoes, rice or pasta, fruit, vegetables, a garden salad and home baked bread. Dessert is complemented by coffee and tea. After dinner enjoy a relaxing dip in our swimming pool or a walk back into San Pedro for a little night life.  Or you could just go back to the room and re rig that leader that was demolished by that tarpon that go the better of you.
