Guanamar Beach & Sportfishing Resort : Nowhere else in the world will you have a better chance of tangling with blue, black, and striped marlin, sailfish, giant tuna, record-size dorado, snapper, rooster-fish and other game fish. It's not unusual to raise 25 or more sailfish in a single day, and local boats every year report "Super Grand Slams" - all three species of marlin and one or more sailfish taken on the same day. The many International Game Fish Association records broken here testify to the size of Costa Rica's fish. In early 1991 an angler out of Guanamar caught the first Pacific Blue Marlin taken on a fly. The record 203-1/2 pounder is also the largest fish ever caught on a fly.

The luxurious Guanamar Resort is nestled along the shore of a quiet bay, protected from the heavy winds that plague Costa Rica's northerly fishing areas from December through May. Because of Guanamar's protected location, anglers catch fish year-round with seldom more than a 30-45 minute run before the action starts.

Guanamar's fast, comfortable sportfishing boats are equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and tournament quality tackle. Captain and crews are expert in conventional and fly fishing techniques, and encourage anglers to release their catch. You'll appreciate our deluxe air-conditioned accommodations with private ocean-view terraces, satellite color TV, and room service.

The open-air Guanamar Restaurant offers an inspiring ocean view and the best food and service on the Pacific. Enjoy cocktails around the refreshing swimming pool or open air bar, where fishermen gather most evenings to share stories. Non-anglers in the group enjoy a variety of resort activities: watersports, horseback riding, hiking, or just relaxing around the pool or mile-long white sand beach.
