Sailfish Oasis Lodge
What we like Situated in a gated, residential complex of Iztapa (only a seven-minute drive from the marina), bordering a saltwater canal that leads to the Pacific, Sailfish Oasis offers comfortable, all-inclusive accommodations, first-class service and delicious food and drink in a gorgeous setting that promotes relaxation and mingling with fellow anglers.
