More Info:
At El Pescador, our guests have a choice: stay in our lodge, or in one of our luxury villas. El Pescador lodge is an intimate, 12-room, one suite hotel set in a colonial style mahogany building with a long verandah overlooking the beach and barrier reef. All rooms have private baths, overhead fans and air-conditioning and are just steps away from our swimming pool adjacent the beach. All rooms face the sea.
El Pescador Villas is a collection of four luxury three-bedroom Villas, set in tropical gardens, surrounding a private pool. You may enjoy the entire Villa as a home-away-from-home, or request only the portions since each suite can lock-off into a private unit. Reserve one master suite, or a master suite and the Great Room—just tell us what configuration works best for you!
Location: El Pescador lodge and villas are on the Bahia del Punta Arena, 2.6 miles north of San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. The spot is remote and private, yet close enough to reach town on foot, bicycle, shuttle, water taxi or golf cart.
