The Best Sport Fishing Resort in Guatemala

Buena Vista Sport Fishing Resort is the ideal destination for sport fishing enthusiasts in Guatemala. Located on Buena Vista Island, Iztapa Escuintla, our resort combines the excitement of fishing in the Guatemalan Pacific Ocean with the comfort of a waterfront hotel and the warmth of local hospitality.

Our Story
 
The story of Buena Vista Sport Fishing Resort began in 2005, when Jody Elswick, a passionate fisherman and surfer, arrived in Guatemala looking for waves and adventure. What he found was much more: he fell in love with fishing in Guatemala, its people, and Susy, who became his wife and partner in his dream.
Together, they founded a small inn called Jody's Place, which quickly became a favorite with anglers from around the world. Over the years, their dedication and love for the sea led them to build more apartments, a second pool, and a private marina across from the hotel.
Thus was born Buena Vista Sport Fishing Resort, the first waterfront sport fishing resort in Guatemala.
