ESB Lodge is intimate by design, built to comfortably accommodate just eight anglers per week in the remote wilderness of Mexico’s Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Located directly on the beachfront, the lodge combines authentic Caribbean character with thoughtful comforts tailored specifically for traveling anglers.

Facilities & Services

The property features four double occupancy beachfront rooms arranged in two duplex-style cabanas overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Each room includes air conditioning, private bathrooms, hot showers, comfortable beds, and ample space for fishing gear and equipment. Shared oceanfront decks provide the perfect setting to prepare tackle, enjoy a cold drink, or simply unwind after a day on the water.

At the center of the lodge sits a traditional thatched-roof palapa housing the open bar, lounge area, and fly-tying space, while the adjoining dining room serves fresh regional cuisine inspired by Mexican and Caribbean flavors. Days at ESB often end with cocktails, appetizers, cigars on the deck, and stories shared beneath the palapa overlooking the sea.
