Silver King Lodge

This is the most upscale lodge in Barra del Colorado. They take their fishing seriously here -- there's a large selection of modern boats and equipment, as well as a full tackle shop -- but Silver King also emphasizes comfort. The rooms are immense, with two double beds, a desk and chair, luggage racks, fishing racks, air-conditioning, an overhead fan, and a roomy closet. The floors and walls are all varnished hardwood, and the ceilings are finished in bamboo. The entire complex is built on raised stilts and connected by covered walkways (useful during the frequent downpours).

The meals here are truly exceptional, with some of the best buffet-style lodge cooking I've ever had. Each all-you-can-eat meal is anchored with at least two main dishes and a wide variety of appetizers, salads, side dishes, and desserts. You should be eating plenty of fish during your stay -- coconut-battered snook nuggets with a pineapple-wasabi dip were just one of the highlights of my culinary indulgences here. These folks also have a photographer snapping away digital shots of all the offshore action and give you a personalized CD of photos from your stay at no extra cost.
