We have returned from our stay w Crocodile Bay and struggle returning to work. The staff did a remarkable job. Todd Staley ran the fishing services superbly. Boat captains and deck hands were hard working and commited to ensuring our enjoyment. Our requests were promptly attended too. Captain Edwin and deck hand Saul met all of our expectations.

First and foremost, the staff was phenomenal! Olimpia, Diego, Helen, Mateo, Carlos, & the entire staff outstanding!!! Beautiful scenery, perfect weather, although we did not have a plentiful fishing experience, the others who accompanied us did! The incects and spiders were a bit overwhelming especially in our room. Was not comfortable due to the large spiders sharing my room. The... More

He made sure both of our travel itineraries was in order and we felt secure in knowing a resort representative would be there to help us through our travels. Upon arrival... 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...

My wife and I just got back from four days at the Crocodile Bay Resort. We enjoyed the staff, facilities, dining and the fishing. We got skunked the first day of fishing, but it was not due to a lack of effort from the boat crew. The second day was a success from my perspective. The resort staff had time... More
