Flawless Fishing, Food, and Service Casa Vieja was everything we expected and more. With as good as the fishing is, they could easily slack on the service and food, but they don't. Food was amazing and the service was top tier. They don't want you lifting a finger unless it is to reel in a fish. Our group caught 31 sailfish, 5 Mahi, and a bonito in two days. This is a minor bit of feedback but I wish the crew of our boat had talked to us about our expectations and what we were interested in (and maybe we could have been more vocal). We were really interested in getting a lot of pictures (within the rules of leaving fish in the water to minimize trauma) and creating memories of this epic experience, even if that meant sacrificing some time fishing. The crew did a great job of getting each angler a photo with their first fish on day one but as soon as everyone had their one photo, the boat's gopro was put away and stored. For two of the four people in our group, the one picture they got on the first day didn't come out well and/or was with a smaller fish. We thought we'd have another chance at photos on the second day but the gopro stayed stored away. We asked for a few more individual photos and a group photo with a fish, and the crew seemed a little put out. They brought it out but we had to grab it ourselves and press the issue for each photo, sometimes having to operate it ourselves, which again led to not the best photos since the settings were in Spanish and we didn't know how to operate it that well. Another small thing was the way the sailfish were released. We'd reel the fish in, once the crew grabbed the leader we'd be told to step to the other side of the boat (to give the crew room to pull the fish in) where we couldn't see the fish in the water. Then the leader would be cut and the fish was gone. So for most of our fish, the angler never got to see the fish they were fighting, besides seeing the jumps in the distance or a vague shape once the edge of the leader came in. It was just this heavy thing on the line, you were told to step aside, and it was gone. Again, maybe we didn't do a great job of communicating what we wanted, or maybe the crew's priority was getting back to fishing to maximize success (which is maybe what most anglers want)...and maybe the crews priority is getting the quickest release possible, but those were the few things we wished was different. Just small things compared to how epic the whole experience was. Still a 5-star experience, best fishing any of us had ever seen, and we are already talking about when to go back!

Trip-Of-A-Lifetime Delivers -- BELIEVE THE HYPE! Casa Vieja Delivers! Let's talk about what is important to fisherman which is not the sheet threadcount -- IT'S THE FISH! My buddy and I caught 71 Sails in three days -- 30/27/14 -- along with at least 25 Mahi Mahi up to 35 lb. Crazy bite with at least ten double hook ups, one triple and one cuatro! Due to late booking, we had to rotate between three boats and our favorite boot was our first, The Release, even though it had no AC -- it had the best Capt. and Mates. They missed two fish that raised all day! Now the other stuff, the food is 5 star including the on-board mahi nuggets, mahi burgers and mahi filets with fresh guac for lunch. When we got back, we had just enough time to cool off in the pool with a couple of good drinks and then a 4 course gourmet meal. Then to bed and up early for a big breakfast before hitting the water at 7:00. Every person we interacted with from the driver (long drive in traffic), to the wait staff, to the bartender to the masseusses were friendy and helpful. Beds were comfy and showers hot. The camraderie and happiness of the other fishermen made making new friends easy. I have already planned my next trip for January. Can't wait!!!!

Amazing Trip! i have visited Casa Vieja eight times, 7 with business , and this last one with my family and friends. it is awesome! nothing like catching sailfish and mahi mahi. I think my daughter said it best, "I still can’t get over how much fun this past week was in Guatemala, deep sea fishing for Sailfish and Mahi Mahi!! Along with visiting Antigua! The whole experience at Casa Vieja Lodge was incredible!!! Memories that will definitely last a lifetime. Many thanks to my dad for sharing this amazing experience with us! ❤️🎣🐟🐠" nuff said.

Bucket list experience for any true fishermen A+ experience! Lodging was fantastic. Boat, bait, gear and crew were top notch. Food was superb. We had great weather during our trip yet a little hot but staff took care of that with cold towels upon arriving to the dock, drinks upon arrival to the lodge and VIP treatment around the pool. Great service and awesome fishing. 100% recommended.

Stellar Service We went with the Bass Pro and Cabelas Signature Events. From the time we got on the van at the airport until our return, everything was taken care of and the staff was stellar. I was very nervous about getting seasick since we would be on the water 3 days, but I wore the patch, took chewable tablets, and used wrist band compressions, along with many prayers with excellent results. I released 10 sailfish and so did my husband. We also caught 3 mahi mahi and a yellowfin tuna which was served up as lunch daily. We wouldn't change anything. It was a wonderful experience.

We stayed for 4 nights and fished 3 full days. I’ve never had better accommodations in all my years of traveling. Every staff member treated us like family and catered to us over and above any expectations. The room was beautiful and clean, the lodge was absolutely stunning and the food was 5 stars! I will be back and I’m sad to leave! Thank you for everything!

Lives up to the Hype! Had a great few days at Casa Vieja Lodge! Fishing was amazing ( 67 sails released in 3 days, 4 slammer mahi, and one blue marlin raise) and the hospitality was even better! We will be back! Thanks to the crew of Captain Nico, Henry and Luis( the best chef of the fleet) on the Islander/Chilero and the crew at the lodge. Mauro, Hector and Cesar made us feel like family!

See you folks next year! We have been to other Central America fishing lodges as well we AK and HI, I think this place ranks in the very top of our list... As with any guided trip it takes a day or two to "gel" with the crew but once we did it was even more of a blast- even with a slight language barrier. The rooms are great, beds are fine and very well taken care of, foods were great and plenty of at each meal and the fresh lunch on the boat as well. They have taken care of every detail from in room massages to the poolside drinks and gift shop to buy shirts if you run short. Laundry service was available which we used so we could travel light. We spent a day at the offsite hotel in Antigua and had a great time doing shopping it was a very pleasant city and a fantastic hotel with the same continuity of service. Our captain on the boat Terry and his crew Tony (I forget the other gentleman's name) right down to Mario/Cesar our bartenders and Henry our driver all did a great job and we look forward to them next year!!

Outstanding fishing adventure The CVL facilities are excellent and the attention to service is evident as soon as you set foot inside the resort. The staff are first rate top to bottom, and after 3 trips here, I feel as though I have made friendships. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable, although I didn't spend a lot of time there. The grounds are beautiful and the team has created an environment where friends and strangers become one big team. I'll be back.
