If you're planning a sportfishing trip to Costa Rica's Central Pacific, you already know that Quepos and Manuel Antonio sit at the heart of one of the world's great offshore fisheries. The waters here hold blue marlin, sailfish, dorado and yellowfin tuna, and they draw serious anglers from every corner of the globe. At the center of it all is Marina Pez Vela. If you are looking for a hotel near Marina Pez Vela, Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas is the closest one to the dock.
Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas is the closest hotel to Marina Pez Vela. We are a five-minute walk from the dock.
For anglers who want to be off the boat and back in a comfortable bed in minutes, not stuck in traffic or waiting for a shuttle, that proximity matters more than almost anything else.
A Base That Actually Works for Fishing Trips
Sportfishing runs early. Most charters are out of the marina before sunrise, which means your hotel needs to work around that schedule, not the other way around. At Las Cascadas, we've been hosting fishing guests since Marina Pez Vela opened in 2010 and we understand what an early departure actually looks like. Flexible check-outs, secure storage for gear, and a team that is used to the routine because we've lived it alongside our guests.
The marina is a five-minute walk. A taxi reaches us in a few minutes if you prefer a ride. And when you come back in the afternoon, salt-stained and sunburned and carrying a story about the one that didn't get away, the pool and bar are ready for you.
Serious Fishing, Family-Run Hospitality
Las Cascadas was founded by Gary and Catalina Rogers in 1994, when Quepos was still a quiet fishing town. When Marina Pez Vela opened in 2010, it brought a whole new world of guests to our door, serious fishing enthusiasts who appreciate a base that feels like home after a long day on the water.
What we offer that no large hotel can replicate is genuine personal service. We know the local captains. We know which boats are running, what the water conditions are like, and which charters are trusted by serious fishermen. Our concierge service draws on over 30 years of real relationships, not a commission arrangement with whoever pays us the most.
We can help you book your charter, arrange transportation to the marina, and make sure your whole trip runs smoothly from the moment you arrive.
A Property Worth Coming Home To
After a long day on the water, Las Cascadas gives you somewhere genuinely comfortable to come home to. Our eleven individually designed rooms and suites are quiet, clean, and surrounded by jungle. The pool is the kind you actually want to sit next to at the end of the day. The bar serves cold drinks and fresh food, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.
We are a family-run hotel in the truest sense. The Rogers family has been here for more than 30 years, and the values of the property, respect, warmth, cleanliness and integrity, reflect that. It is a place where guests feel comfortable bringing their families, their fishing buddies, or both.
Fifteen Years of Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice
We are proud to have received the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice award across fifteen years. For a small, family-run property steps from one of the best sportfishing marinas in Central America, that track record speaks for itself.
Planning Your Quepos Sportfishing Trip
If you're coming to Quepos for the fishing, we'd love to be your base. We can help coordinate your charter, advise on which charters are running, and make sure the non-fishing members of your group, partners, kids and family, have just as memorable a trip as you do.
Manuel Antonio National Park is ten minutes away. The beaches are beautiful. The wildlife is extraordinary. Quepos has excellent restaurants. There is genuinely no shortage of things to do between fishing days.
Reach out before your trip and we'll help you plan the whole thing.
