in piña´s bay, panama.
If anyone had been there please give your opinion.

Alfredo,
I haven't been there but would love to go. I have a friend who has been there several times and I emailed him and here is what he had to say:

"Awesome lodge, one of a kind setting in tropical rain forest environment. Good hiking and trails to nearby beaches and lookouts for non-fishermen, or after fishing activities. Top notch staff and dining, fresh fish every night. Dining lodge, pool, 2 bars.

Fishing is done from a fleet of Bertram style boats which have awesome range (although most fishing is done within 3 – 10 miles of the lodge). They will cater to fishermen’s preference whether it be off shore trolling for marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado, etc. or inshore targeting grouper, roosterfish, snapper, amberjack, etc. The captains and crew are intimately familiar with fly fishermen and will go full fly exclusive if that’s the client’s desire. The most commonly targeted species for fly fishing is sailfish. However, as opportunities arise, they will target yellowfin, dorado, and marlin.

Highly recommended."

Hope this helps! Have a great trip and let us know how it goes!
