El Pescador Lodge & Villas

Ambergris Caye


With the atmosphere of a charming old-time fishing lodge and amenities of a luxury hotel, this 42-acre property is a sweet retreat for anglers and adventurers. Set in an intimate, colonial-style building, the sea-facing standard rooms have polished hardwood floors and colorful hand-woven tapestries. The villas are nothing short of vast – perfect if you have family or friends in tow.

Full fishing packages are also available, as are tours to Mayan ruins and mainland caves.
