The food was great, the staff was nice, the rooms were ok, but the fishing for me was disappointing. Our captain and mate didn't speak a word of English and we don't speak Spanish, so there was zero interaction with each other. The first day out was rough and we caught a very nice Dorado and a sailfish, then my wife and I both got sick. The only way the crew noticed we were in trouble was when I pointed out we were both sick and would like to fish off the shoreline. The second day, we stayed near the shore and had a great day of fishing. Then we had 3 days of offshore fishing with no bites, no conversation, and no interaction (caught a couple of small dorado on the 4th and last day offshore). They fished the same place with no other boats in sight, and it seemed they had no plan B if things didn't go well. The other boats were catching marlin (38 that week), but we barely even saw one. Go with a group of guys so you can entertain yourself, because our crew didn't so much as say "Hello" all day. The staff was disappointed in our review and suggested a good deal if we would try again, but I got an online ad for the same 20% off so I can't say they tried very hard. Maybe I'll try again some day, but convincing my wife to go back may be another story. The other guests at the lodge had some great stories and wonderful pictures, but it was 4 days of nothing (9 hours a day) for us.

Everything and more from what they claim everyone is suppers family some of the best food you will ever have and the bar prices are responsible and the fishing is unbelievable you can go onshore for Rooster Red Snaper or Yellowtail Tuna and many more or go offshore for your Bill fish top notch fishing gear and nice boats each boat has a captain and a 1st mate

This is one of the few places I've been to where they live up to the hype, and quite possibly exceed it. I went the week of Feb 13-20, and everything was exceptional. The pickup in the airport, transfers both ways, the food, the fishing... This place has thought of everything, and they make their guests feel like family.

The accommodations were perfect. Not a four seasons, but we weren't expecting that. We are in the middle of the jungle after all. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The real surprise was the food. It was great. Fresh fish every day, but plenty of other options if that's not your thing. The pool was a welcome treat every day, the drinks were cold and plentiful, and the company was phenomenal. The staff goes so far out of their way to make sure you are having a good time. They really couldn't have been more accommodating.

The fishing was just sick! Albert is the man, and was more than happy to share his knowledge with anyone who wanted to have a conversation. We were lucky enjoy a couple of meals with him and his wife, and couldn't have been more impressed. In the six days of fishing, my buddy and I saw 14 black marlin, hooked 7, and landed 5 of them. We also got two tuna, a mahi, a rooster, two cuberas, and three jacks. It was nothing short of epic. The Bertrams are fishing machines and were perfect for what we were doing.

We were entirely impressed all around by the TSL operation. It was worth every penny, and we can't wait to return to put another beatdown on the fish. Thx again to all who work there. You are what makes that place special.
