My friend and I spent a week in El Cuyo and in this beautiful Villa! We organize fishing trips every year and this time we decided to go to El Cuyo and try something new. Definetly it was a very good choice. Valente, one of the members of the family who took care of us, took us to very good places to fish. Everything we fished was cooked deliciously by Magdalena and her daughter in a very special mexican style. The house was also very nice, with a lot facilities and all amenities mentioned in the web page. We had a blast! We are definetly coming back next year! We recommend this place for everyone who wants to get to know something never seen before, like to go fishing and love the nature. Thanks a lot to the owner and the family in charge of the house! We are looking forward to see you again soon!

Owner's Response: We very much appreciate your review and your recommendation to our potential guests to do one of the most attractive activity in El Cuyo: fishing.
The extraordinary marine life around El Cuyo presents a mysterious world of adventures. This is the reason why fishing is one of the activities most exciting and relaxing here. El Cuyo has a great diversity of fish. At a depth of 20 to 25 feet (6 meters) you're able to find Mero (Grouper), Canane, Pargo, colored and white Corvina, Mojarra, Chac Chi, Robalo (Snook), Sabalo (Tarpon), Jurel, Cojinuda, Ronco, Macabi, Bagre (Catfish), and Barracuda among others. In only 20 minutes your boat can be at fishing depth, easily in sight of the nearby shore. The fish you catch will vary from 1 to 4 pounds (1/2 to 2 kilos).
If you're looking for something more exciting, you can go out to a depth of 90 feet, approximately an hour by boat. At this depth you'll be able to catch fish from 2 to 20 pounds (1 to 10 kilos) or more. Here you'll find Meros (grouper), Pargos, Mojarras, Negrillos, Esmedregal, Carito, Bonito, Barrilito and Jurel among others.
When not able to go out by boat, you are able to fish from the "darsena" (town dock) or at the town boat landing. The best time to fish at this latter site is 4 in the morning You'll be able to catch Corvina, Pargo, Ronco, Robalo (Snook), Macabi, and Bagre (Catfish), just to mention a few.
If you want to fish in even deeper water you can travel to Isla Holbox where you will catch Blue Marlin, Barracuda, Jurel, Wahoo, and Dorado. The trip by launch takes less than an hour.
Thanks a million and we are looking for your next visit to our home in this still undiscovered place named El Cuyo, " a jewel" in the Yucatan Emerald Coast of Mexico.
