We just finished up a week at Geckoes and truly had the vacation of a lifetime. The property is stunning and so well managed. I can't say enough good things about our hosts, and all of their help with restaurant recommendations, travel pointers, trusted tour guides, and more. Tom and Zoe's guests are their top priority, and that makes being... More

I have to begin by saying, nobody could write a review that could possible describe this special jungle retreat and the feeling you have while standing and looking in amazement at the perfectly situated Bali styled homes in this dense, beautiful, magically mystical, piece of paradise. Wildlife was something we have never experienced. It was incredible waking up to howler... More

My husband and I stayed at the Geckoes Lodge for our honeymoon and it definitely exceeded our expectations!! The two guest houses, beautiful jungle setting and the amazing hospitality set this place apart from any other in Puerto Viejo. We were greeted by Tom and Zoe when we first arrived and I can't tell you how nice it was to... More

We travelled with our 15 month old daughter who was quickly adopted by lion hunters Fred & Charlie - who are just as wonderful as Tom & Zoe. Our goal was to simply relax and not to venture out too much. Mission accomplished the moment we arrived. I guess we knew before we arrived with Tom arranging transportation and even... More

Of all the places we stayed in Costa Rica, coast-to-coast, Geckoes was by far the most engaging, interesting and memorable! It truly was "barefoot luxury" - a laid back, jungle hut surrounded (and sometimes infiltrated) by wildlife. Casa Bromelia was fantastic; the decor was beautiful and in harmony with the natural beauty of the 'garden' (which blends in with the... More

We recently had the pleasure of a second stay at Casa Del Bosque: after spending a week at Geckoes for the most incredible Honeymoon just over a year ago, we decided on a return trip to explore the region a bit further. Both holidays were perfection - as somewhere secluded to relax in the most beautiful, tropical paradise, or as... More

We couldn't have asked for a better trip. Tom and Zoe were absolutely fantastic hosts and everyone in the town was beyond friendly. Geckoes is definitely the best place to stay in the area. We stayed in both houses and they were both to die for. It's hard to choose which we preferred. They were totally spotless and had everything... More

It's a long way to come from Newcastle, England - 3 flights, an overnight stay in San Jose, then a 5 hour bumpy bus trip - but it's worth it to arrive again at this incredible jungle retreat! We stayed last year and knew we would have to come back, as we enjoyed the whole experience here so much. We... More

Geckoes was the PERFECT place to go on a honeymoon and have a relaxing and totally private time. Nobody around to bother you, charming and capable staff, clean, and highly romantic. This place is perfectly maintained, which is pretty impressive in the middle of the costa rican jungle. You will not be disappointed by this place or the owners. We... More
