My boyfriend and I stayed at El Pescador around mid-August (luckily getting out right before Hurricane Dean!). We are not avid fishers, although did enjoy the one day of fishing we did do. This is definitely a fisher's resort! The grounds are beautiful, and the staff are super friendly! I loved the fact that there was no TV to bother us and that we had the communal dinners each night. The food was absolutely fabulous! We met lots of interesting people and had great converstaions! I learned a lot about fishing! : ) The owners were never present as others have described, but Bob, the resort's host, was incredibly nice and went out of his way to get to know everyone. He even knew our schedules for the next day. I would recommend the all inclusive deal, otherwise would eat in town or somewhere less expensive (the all-inclusive is totally worth it). This is a very laid back, mellow place where everyone is a friend. On our last night a group of about 6 came who were a bit more of the partying type than the rest of the resort. For those of you who are partyers, this is not the place for you. Most of us are asleep by 9 because almost everyone is up by 6 to go fishing or other excursions.

All that being said, there were a couple of hang ups that may prevent me from returning. The biggest issue I had was with the bed. The room itself was nice, especially since you're really not in there all that often. But the bed was THE worst bed I've ever slept on. It was hard as a rock (which I can live with) but also incredibly noisy. It reminded me of the sound that those old plastic sofa covers made when you sat on them. Consequently, every time I moved I woke up. Every time my boyfriend moved I woke up. I did not have a decent night's sleep the entire trip. I can live with a lot of things when travelling, but I need a decent bed--especially for the cost of the resort! The housekeeping was another issue that wasn't quite up to par. Again, not nearly as big an issue as the bed and would not prevent me from returning, but still an issue. They sometimes took our towells without replacing them, and on one occassion completely skipped cleaning the bathroom so didn't take our dirty towells at all! We also ran out of toilet paper one day because they never left an extra roll.

If you do go (especially during the off season), make sure you ask for a room on the second floor or on the first floor with an empty room above you. On our last night we had people directly above us and it sucked. You can hear every single step! Other advice: if you do the rocky point beach BBQ (fun!!), make sure they actually take you to rocky point. We went to some ghetto beach park that was not kept up with a big dog tied up in the middle (with his dog [--] everywhere-yuck). Make sure you have at least 2 cans of OFF--the bugs will eat you alive.

Bottom line: I would go back in a hearbeat if they replace the beds. Everything else I can deal with for such a great place.
