Stayed at the lodge in late April. First class all the way. The lodge itself is very nice and the fishing is the best I have seen. They pay attention to every detail from room accommodations to the service around the lodge. Their fleet is excellent and the captain and mates know how to have a fun time while catching... More

I just wrapped up a quick three days at Casa Vieja with Captain Franz and his mate, Danillo, aboard the Pez Raton. It was an amazing trip all around. I told the lodge that I was interested in fly fishing for sails and mahi on the fly, and they more than delivered. Franz and Danillo had it dialed in from... More

I carried 37 anglers (The Florida Fun Fishers) down to Casa Vieja Lodge this past week The staff made planning this trip a breeze and even easier to run once we were on site. Service is the name of the game here. The attention to detail is second to none. Over 3 days of fishing our group caught 223 Sail,... More

Traveled here in March 2016 with The Hunting Consortium. We represent this lodge and visited it for the first time. Accommodations are nice and we caught over 20 sailfish a day. The last day we raised somewhere in the ballpark of 60 and caught/released somewhere around 30. Overall a fantastic experience!

Stopped by for a beverage, snack and dip in the pool after fishing. Did not stay here but the staff were very accommodating. The property is very clean, and off a busy road. Not waterfront. Quaint resort complete with a gym and pool.

We've traveled from Florida to fish in numerous locations including Alaska, Cabo, Quepos, Panama, and throughout the Bahamas so, I believe, have a pretty good perspective on what makes a great fishing destination.

West Coast Guatemala's billfish productivity is literally unbeatable. With numbers like 124 releases in a single day, by one boat and 300 releases in 3 days on conventional tackle or how about 57 in a single day fly fishing and an overall annual release rate of a dozen billfish per day, per boat, it's clear that Guatemala's Pacific coast offers the highest concentrations of billfish found anywhere worldwide. It's very real! At Casa Vieja Lodge, we take exceptional pride in assuring you world class vessels, run by highly respected captains with day end returns to the highest quality accommodations imaginable. ... more   less
