First off: We had a great day fishing. Our guide, Pedro, wasn't particularly helpful or friendly, but he put us onto plenty of fish. I blew most of my chances and that's no one's fault at all. We didn't stay at Boca Paila, but the accommodations looked comfortable enough. I only have one criticism, and it's a big one: I... More

Of all of the lodges we host trips to Boca Paila is our favorite. It has a very dependable fishery and is a great place to take first time saltwater anglers. It is also one of the best places to catch a grand slam. Our recent trip saw our group catch 3 Gran Slams a Super Grand Slam and a... More

An extremely comfortable and professionally run lodge. I came this time in august with a friend to go fishing. The guide was great and we caught many species of fish. The rooms and service here are impeccable and the beach is fantastic. I will be back again soon
