Safety and Security

Guatemala tends to be a very safe tourist destination for anglers. The coastal town – Iztapa - in which we are based has basically nothing but petty theft between the locals. The high end Guatemalans all have their weekend getaway homes within our area, adding another layer of safety and security within our neighborhood. During the last 10 years, no crime nor high end theft has been reported anywhere near the Resort nor the high end communities. Whatever you read about Guatemala within other websites basically contemplates the typical tourist areas, not our paradise in the Pacific Coast.

The International Airport in Guatemala City is the newest and most modern within Central America, surpassing by far all your previous expectations for this part of the world. From then on, the drive to Iztapa and to Pacific Fins is done on a four lane highway that was finished in 2009, with local police and traffic controls managing it throughout its 65 miles.

Our Resort has a very solid relationship with the local private hospital to ensure that any emergency can be covered immediately. We also have contracts with the local representative for Medivac and can get a helicopter to land next to the Resort if needed.
