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

This was my second stay at BP. I was concerned because I was with my wife and she doesn't fish and is a Vegan. NO PROBLEM. From the start everything was easy. I booked my trip thru Claudia the representative at BP. She knows everything about the area and speaks perfect English. You can reach her at info@bocapaila.com. I've been... More

My fiancée and I met the owner Antonio our first night at the lodge and were very impressed with the concern... More

I have been a regular visitor to Boca Paila for the last 8 or 9 years. We return each year because it is one of the best places to consistently have the opportunity to successfully catch permit on the fly. There are also a great diversity of other fly fishing opportunities including tarpon and bonefish as well as snook, barracuda... More

We went bonefishing two days and caught over 20 each day and had out shots at permit. My wife and I are avid fly fishers but have done primarily trout fishing with some salt water in the bahamas and the gulf coast of florida. I was surprised at the size, I expected smaller but they were commensurate with what we... More
