The staff at this resort made us feel more welcome than anywhere i've travelled. We went for a week in february. The weather was perfect, and while the fishing wasn't fantastic, the crews worked hard and customized each day based on what we felt like fishing for. The activities/excursions were awesome as well. We did the ziplining and man grove... More

I was absurdly fortunate to have been one of the first guests through the door when Crocodile Bay Resort opened. I have returned time and again since because the resort does everything right, from fresh cuisine, spacious accommodations and gorgeous grounds to great service, superior boats, amazing eco tours and terrific captains and mates who can find fish no matter...

My mother and I accompanied my father and brother to Crocodile Bay in January 2012 for a fishing trip, and were very pleasantly surprised by the level of service, the beauty of the property, and the variety and quality of the eco tour offerings (I will give the caveat that this review is NOT for the fishing, which neither of...
