The Perfect Honeymoon Spot

We recently made Casa del Gekko our honeymoon destination. It was absolutely perfect! We loved waking up every morning to the sounds of waterfalls, exotic birds, and monkeys as much as we enjoyed watching the sunset dip down over the Pacific. The house and yard are completely secluded from the hand full of neighbors that reside on the nearby mountainsides. Tony and Lynda were such wonderful hosts. They took us on several treks through waterfalls and made us feel perfectly at home. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon so memorable. Till next time! Gideon & Jen

My daughter and I recently stayed at Casa Del Gekko. The home is amazing! In the mornings you wake up to the sounds of the wildlife around. Tony and Linda were gracious hosts and most supportive in making our holiday extra special. The location is terrific - from mountains to beach within 20 mins. We enjoyed many activities including boogie boarding, ziplining, and riding horses. The later took us to the beach for some unforgetable moments of riding next to the surf. We are coming back to stay again!

We spent 1 week in April 2010 at this magnificent home with an amazing view of the rain forest. It was very comfortable for 6 people with a beautiful and refreshing swimming pool. The owners, Tony and Linda, went out of their way to make our stay memorable by organizing river walks, rappeling down beautiful waterfalls, etc.etc. The pacific ocean is only 15 minutes away and is surfers paradise with a very warm water. The area is of unparallel beauty and completelly unspoiled by civilization. We were waking up by monkeys and beautiful birds, There are also amazing restaurants nearby with international cuisine We can't wait to go back and we truly recommend this house for anyone looking to relax with a bit of adventure.

We were fortunate enough to stay at the Casa del Gekko this year and can't say enough wonderful things about this property. It was clean, secure and spacious, with a beautiful view of the ocean and jungle. Our favorite area was the private pool. Tony and Linda were wonderful hosts as well. It's the perfect accomodation for your Costa Rican vacation!

We stayed at the Casa del Gekko for a week in May, 2009 and absolutely loved it! Tony and Linda went above and beyond to be sure that we had an enjoyable time. This was our first visit to Costa Rica, but now we can't wait to plan a return trip!

We stayed in the Gekko house for two weeks in January 2009, and can thoroughly recommend it as a very comfortable house, surrounded by a large garden with mature plants and a mass of flowers. The view is great, and nearby, there are lots of activities.
