My wife and I just finished our 3rd stay at El Pescador, and 7th trip to Ambergris. We will keep coming to the island, and can't imagine staying anywhere else on it. Over the years we've done the trip by ourselves, with friends, with family and also with our two little kids (3 and 5). Each trip has been successful,... More

El Pescador sets the standard by which other fishing resorts are measured. Recently named one of the "Top 10 Luxury Eco-Resorts" by Forbes Traveler, El Pescador's well trained and exceedingly friendly and attentive staff make staying there...easy.

We just returned from El Pescador. It was an outstanding vacation for the entire family. (Parents in their 40's, kids 12 and 8). Two things really stand out. First, item is the service. A couple of other reviews noted that the staff remembered their names consistently. True, but it's more than that. They remember you name, what you like to... More

Everyone knows how hard it is finding the perfect place for family trips. Well we included 3 generations and a mix of non fishers and fishers and just didn't know how things would turn out.

El Pescador Resort provided a flawless experience for me and my friends. Everything you could ask for in a vacation was provided by the El Pescador family of owners and employees. Great accommodations, great food, helpful and friendly staff, wonderful excursions including the best flats fishing for bonefish, tarpon and permit you could imagine.

From the moment we arrived at the airport in San Pedro, we were welcomed into the El Pescador family. Rare to find the level of service provided anywhere in the world and in such an unobtrusive way.

My wife and I spent five days there...three of which involved fishing. This is the kind of rare experience where the angling, non-angling, or eco- traveler gets the finest levels of Swiss watch efficiency sweetened by endless courtesy. That quality is enriched by the presence of so many other assets like haute cuisine, dreamy Mayan-style accomodations, and a real family... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
El Pescador’s beachfront lodge and villas are situated on over 45 private acres with ambiance, specializing in fishing, diving and eco-adventures. We are family-owned and operated with emphasis on creating camaraderie and an authentic Belizean experience. El Pescador is proud of our philosophy to protect and nurture friendship, adventure and the environment. El Pescador has long been known as a world-class fishing destination offering outstanding flats fishing for bonefish, tarpon and permit. El Pescador has been the only resort on Ambergris Caye specializing in saltwater flats fishing since 1974. Since coming under new ownership in 1997, the resort has established itself as an eco-friendly tropical getaway, including a commitment to offset all carbon emissions generated by its guests flying to Belize. Donations are made on behalf of guests to a local Belizean non-profit organization, Green Reef Environmental Educational and Coastal Research Institute, to offset the carbon emissions used to travel to Belize. El Pescador was also among the key organizations to implement the new Law protecting bonefish, tarpon and permit as catch and release species. This is the most all encompassing legislation of its kind worldwide. It is great news for Belizeans, anglers, tourists and conservationists alike. El Pescador is a serene and gracious establishment on the doorstep of the world’s largest living Barrier Reef. El Pescador offers accommodations in guest rooms within its colonial style, mahogany main lodge, as well as in 1, 2, and 3 bedroom luxury beachfront villas. The villas are perfect accommodations for couples seeking romance and privacy, and for families and small groups traveling together. All rooms and villas are beachfront and have unobstructed views of the Caribbean blue waters. In addition to unequaled fishing, this first-rate resort offers all the eco-adventures which take full advantage of Belize’s exotic flora and fauna. Scuba diving, snorkeling, manatee watching, cave-tubing and zip-lining, and Maya archaeological explorations are just a small assortment of the activities available while staying at El Pescador. ... more   less
