Absolutely hands down one of the best vacations ever !!
My husband and I were part of the first Los Buzos Bird Watching Group.
I cannot express how accommodating and friendly the Owners and Staff were.
From the moment of arrival until we departed all of our wishes were granted.Seriously, you mentioned something you were interested in doing , they made it happen!
The birding was intense and physical but we loved every minute of it . They even planned a Pelagic birding trip where we not only saw birds, we saw crocodiles, flying fish, sea Turtles, and HUMPBACK WHALES!!
The men in our group decided on a fishing day so us ladies were taken “Shopping” ( I use that term loosely) We went to a bakery for some delicious baked goods and a delightful coffee shop for some cold drinks that were delicious.
That evening we went to the local Sea Turtle Rescue which was an absolute highlight for me. It was an amazing experience.
The accommodations, the food, the people, the experiences, were all top notch. They really laid out the red carpet for us !
Honestly, there are no words to adequately express how amazing this whole experience was. The memories and friendships that were made, will last a lifetime.

What a great trip to Los Buzos for the Nations Cup. Saltwater kayak tournament between Team USA and Team Canada. Incredible fishing, over 20 Roosterfish caught , Yellowtail, Rainbow Runners, Jack's and countless more species!
Food was epic. Local caught fish, fresh fruit and they even butchered a few goats for the end of the week feast! Delicious. Best part of the meals, believe it or not was the hot soup appetizer. You wouldn't think hot soup on a hot evening would be good, but it actually cooled you off and was absolutely delicious!
Only thing that prevented a 5 star room was my room needed a little tcl... nothing horrible. Some broken tiles, grout repairs, paint, etc. Can't expect perfection when in a remote jungle beach village.
Would absolutely go back!
Los Buzos was amazing! Shane showed us the construction site of the new pool placement—it's gorgeous. Todd, our fishing guide, was awesome!! Fish on! Truly the best and very knowledgeable. He provided great support and advice to us greenhorns. Kevin, a local artist provided a sweet artistic opportunity with printed fish. Garrett, the Equine director provided us amazing opportunities and safe horseback ride options! I cried when we rode on the beach. The house was clean, safe, and well kept. The food was delicious!!! And the maintenance crew was terrific! Highly recommend!! We will be coming back!
Fishing is one of my favorite things to do especially with my kids . This place is a hidden gem . It’s a six hour trip through Panama to get there . Mountain and green . Once there great breakfast every day at 6:30 fish at 07:00 til 2-3 . Back in snack rest get in the ocean . Dinner at 7:00 some of the best food that I have ever eaten. Soup’s ceviche sashimi then main course and great main courses with veggies and salad . Also dessert the chef is awesome . I’m missing that food still . The rooms similar cool and comfortable . I’m a big guy and the beds were great .
Fishing you just never know what you might hook up have your go pro ready as our first day we hook a sailfish that was at least 7-8 feet long not including the sword . It was caught on a piece on Bonita that our captain had put out while we were jigging . Unfortunately it broke the swivel but out bout will never forget it . The guide and mates work hard to put you of several types of fish in shore and out . Fishing is hard work in a panga or kayak . Make sure you are covered vans have sun screen . Fishing is with jigs or top water castings and trolling . If the jig is slow ask for some bait on the jig one of the guides did that with one of the three parties in our group and of course they caught the most fish . I plan on going back the people were all great . There equipment is good and well used but one of our guides brought his own and it was a bonus . If you have good equipment bring it . But not necessarily . AJ was a great help we got there late because of missing a connection due to the airlines and he arranged a ride for us Sunday evening and we didn’t miss fishing . Thx AJ !!!
Five stars only because that’s as high as it goes.
From the moment we landed to the time we (reluctantly) left, this trip was pure magic. The hotel, the transfer to the lodge, and the genuinely welcoming staff set the tone immediately. Our oceanfront bungalow was comfortable, clean, and perfectly positioned—fall asleep to the surf, wake up ready to fish. Doesn’t get old.
The food? Unreal. Huge breakfasts to fuel the day, packed lunches for the water, snacks waiting when we got back, and then next-level dinners every night. Fresh seafood prepared by an incredible chef—often using the fish we caught. And yes… sashimi every single night as an appetizer. Dreams do come true.
The gear and equipment were top notch, including a brand-new fleet of Lightning Nomad kayaks. Everything was dialed in so all we had to do was fish and soak it all in.
What truly sets Los Buzos apart is the location. You are right on top of some of the best fishing on the planet. These waters are special. The trophy fish we caught were by no means guaranteed—and that’s what made it even better. Despite tempered expectations, the fish were numerous and BIG.
A very special shout-out to our guide, Robert Field. He didn’t just guide us—he made us feel completely at home on waters that were totally foreign to us before this trip. He also played a huge role in helping Lori have the most amazing birthday imaginable. She smashed 60 right in the face, and Robert was there for every catch—coaching, encouraging, and capturing the pure excitement on film. Later, he quietly leaked those once-in-a-lifetime moments to social media, ready for us (and the world) to relive again and again. That meant more than he probably knows.
Huge thanks as well to Shane Brown for making sure the entire week was a flawless experience—he was awesome. And I can’t forget the panga captains… absolute pros who made every day on the water safe, smooth, and fun.
As if the fishing wasn’t enough, the daily wildlife sightings were icing on the cake: monkeys, exotic sea life, schools of dolphins, sea turtles, and incredible flowering plant life everywhere you looked.
I could go on… but I’ll end with this: we’re already planning our 2026 trip.
Thank you, Los Buzos. You didn’t just meet expectations—you created memories we’ll carry forever. 🎣🌊
My fiancé and I booked a week-long ocean kayak fishing trip at Los Buzos with Robert Field for my 60th birthday as a way to thumb my nose at getting old—and it delivered in every possible way.
My fiancé and I are experienced kayak anglers, but ocean fishing was new territory for us. I went in with realistic expectations, though I’ll admit I hoped for a roosterfish and a cubera snapper. After meeting a few anglers returning from their week at the resort the night before we arrived, the anticipation really kicked in—and the trip still exceeded it.
Los Buzos is a haul from Panama City, but the drive is scenic and well worth it. The resort itself is tucked into a stunning, remote stretch of coastline—quiet, beautiful, and thoughtfully run. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive. Daily breakfasts and packed lunches were generous (often more than I could finish), and dinners were prepared fresh each night from our catch. Sashimi starters, perfectly prepared fish dishes, and hands-down the best Sierra mackerel I’ve ever eaten.
Our group included six anglers from around the world, and by the end of the week we felt like old friends. On the water, Robert was exactly what you want in a guide: knowledgeable, encouraging, calm, and fully engaged. With help from Gallo and Pedro, we were well supported every day. I caught everything I’d hoped for—and then some.
Great fishing, great food, great people, and memories that will last until our next trip back. Los Buzos isn’t just a fishing destination—it’s an experience done right.

Absolutely the best!!!! Again! This was our 3rd trip and you don't keep re-booking for no reason. Just as always Morris and AJ made the booking smooth and easy. The new lead guide Shane was amazing, knowledgeable and had great tune selection for our panga rides. The captains which we've met before were super fun as always putting us on the fish (or opportunities to catch lol, it was up to us to hook them?). We don't speak Spanish, but we all speak fish. The food and drinks never disappoint. We really enjoyed the larger New additional panga which aloud all 3 brothers to fish together throwing poppers side by side to the rocks, trolling and jigging. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Los Buzos!

Just got back from 2 weeks in Los Buzos. I have spent a lot of time in Los Buzos over the years. While some weeks provide better fishing than others, I have had some fantastic weeks. However, this was the most productive week of fishing I have ever experienced at Los Buzos. I did not set any new PRs size wise but I was hooked up and fighting good fish almost all day every day. I cannot commend the captains enough for putting us on the fish every day. As always, the staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The food was wonderful. And nowhere provides a more relaxed and laid back vibe than Los Buzos. Thanks guys.
We had a great time fishing out here! Caught some of the best fish of my life so far. Great food and friendly staff. Robert Fields was our guide to great care of us.
My youngest son Grant started watching Robert Field and his visits to Los Buzos in 4th grade. He just graduated high school and we spent time while he was growing up watching on YouTube. We never thought his dream would become a reality but he excelled in school and other areas and we committed to take him to Los Buzos and through some divine intervention got to fish with Robert for a week there. Grant said it was the best thing he’d ever done and caught several of his dream fish. Los Buzos and the staff on shore and off shore were excellent. The food service and atmosphere and location were all beyond our expectations. We are forever grateful and blessed.
So happy to hear this story. Father son and father daughter combos of many ages are our mainstay and we really enjoyed hosting the two of you. We hope to see you again soon.
