Contact Admin. Hooked and Cooked, you will love this resort. It looks like a beautiful Caribbean beach β but wait a minute- this is the Pacific. A large restaurant, bar, swimming pool, horse riding, kayaking, surf boarding and hiking. The resort has been open for about two years and its reputation has been increasing steadily. People tell me they love the food. Friends from Volcan who stayed there were positively drooling over the Sushi and Ceviche.
Obviously, being a fishing lodge they will have fresh fish on the menu, but chef Margot Arauz can perform gourmet magic with something so humble as a hamburger. As the name implies, the resort is mainly for the fishing enthusiasts.
They have three boats that can take you to some of the best fishing spots in the world. The bay of Chiriqui is a place for the true sport fishing enthusiast. Yellow fin tuna, dorado, wahoo, amber jack are a commonplace catch.
But the waters here offer the angler even more exotic excitement. The most ardent of deep-sea anglers start to salivate when there is mention of the prize of the oceans β blue and black marlin. You then drive through the terminal and exit on the southern side. If you can arrange a stay during a full moon in the dry season, you will be in for a treat. Magically, you will be transported across the ocean to the mythical Hawaiian Island of Bali Hai.
If you sit and gaze at the stars and let your cares and worries wash away with the surf, you will discover something β a sense of true serenity that is priceless. Most of us, I am sure have wonderful childhood memories of climbing high in the branches of tall trees.
