The Palometa Club Vibes
The Club property is located on the active beach right in the heart of the lobster fishing village of Punta Allen. It is a two story structure originally built in 2005 and constructed of Mexican brick and mortar with indigenous hardwoods and tiles in the local tradition. The lodge was completely renovated in the summer of 2022 with numerous updates. Each room has a private bath two double beds with comfortable pillows and linens, individual air-con control, a ceiling fan, and operable window, and large spaces and storage for clothing and gear.
Accommodations
Unlike many simpler accommodations in the region, the lodge is tastefully decorated and equipped with 24 hour electric power, wireless high speed internet, super cool air conditioning, and effective mosquito control. There are six bedrooms (3 upstairs and 3 downstairs), a fly tying study, library/living room, and a large dining room adjacent to the open kitchen. There are several outdoor patios and a beautiful outdoor bar. The style and culture at the lodge is very refined and professional, but also VERY laid back and charming.
Beach Lounge
While our brand is unmistakably focused on the permit fishing program, our guides are more than happy to switch gears to target the multitude of other species available on Ascension Bay. Whether its plinking around the mangroves for tarpon and snook, or enjoying a long wade for bonefish, we encourage our guests to explore other facets that make our fishery so dynamic. Other gamefish such as jack crevalle, sharks, barracuda, triggerfish, and a multitude of other reef species are very much a part of the program. This diversity in species available guarantees a bend in the rod is never too far away on Ascension Bay.

“Kaye’s Bar” stocks complimentary margaritas, cold beer, and local rum drinks during happy hour. The day begins at sunrise with mugs of rich Mexican coffee followed by a traditional hot breakfast of cereal, eggs, bacon, ham, juices, toast and pastries. Hardy box lunches are prepared for the fishing boats and typically include sandwiches, fruits, desserts, ice water, cold beer and other beverages of your choice. Lunches are taken on the water or under the shade of palms and mangroves during a mid-day break.
After the day’s fishing it’s cocktail time at the outdoor beach lounge where icy margaritas or a Ranch Water help punctuate the recounting of the day’s adventure. Fresh caught ceviche and empanadas are also part of every happy hour. The evening meal at the Palometa Club is not your traditional heavy and rich “fishing lodge” cuisine. Dinner is served family style featuring delicious local Caribbean, Mayan and Mexican dishes and locally inspired desserts. Purified water is used for drinking and ice.
All of our recent guests have been blown away by the updates to the facility. The bathrooms, décor, fly shop, high-speed internet, water pressure, and outdoors dining area alone all offer tremendous upgrades. What guests won’t see is a new generator, new water and electric systems, purified ice maker, and much more behind the scenes infrastructure that has also been improved.
