Dolphin Beach was perfect
Had an amazing time with (4) couples. Dolphin Beach was perfect - offering (4) bedrooms - each with King Beds and a private shower. The property IS ON THE BEACH so absolutely AMAZING! The staff were also wonderful - from start to finish; answering any questions we had and helped with numerous excursions. And - the Chef option was the perfect addition. Cannot say enough about how perfect our week in Placencia was!

everything we needed
The location and house were amazing. Our chef Julia was so fun. She has a great personality and everything she cooked was delicious! The house had everything we needed and the golf cart made it easy to get around. There was a mix up with the grocery order and we needed up with some duplicates that got wasted, but that wasn't enough to ruin the experience.

Excellent beachfront property for a group or family
If you mentally picture a beautiful, scenic beachfront property, this location will more than fulfill that image. A secluded house surrounded by a sandy beach with palm trees throughout overlooking the dark blue Caribbean Sea. There is a pool in the back along with games for kids and adults alike. The breeze was continually coming off the ocean keeping the temperatures perfectly comfortable. The house is also air conditioned with four bedrooms, large living spaces, a deck overlooking the ocean and plenty of kitchen space in case you want to have some days to do your own cooking. There is even an area on the roof where one can gaze out over the whole area and if you are interested in stargazing, the view couldn't be better. The location is only minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and various shops along the peninsula for whatever you may need. Easily a five-star recommendation, you won't be disappointed.

The house was perfect for a girls trip
The house was perfect for a girls trip. House was well stocked and had everything we needed. The bedrooms provided comfort and privacy. Service was excellent. Staff was helpful and friendly. The chef/Arjay and cleaning lady were wonderful. Samuel/maintenance was there daily to address any concerns. The location was perfect for us. We could get anywhere we wanted to go via golfcart.

An unforgettable Belize getaway - already dreaming of our return!
We made our first trip to Belize from 2/1–2/8/2026 with three couples, celebrating two 50th birthdays, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. The Gecko concierge team coordinated all the details in advance — excursions, massages, groceries — making the planning effortless.
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. A Gecko team member greeted us with a delicious beverage, chips and salsa, and a full tour of the home. The house is exactly as described: beautiful, private, right on the water, and incredibly spacious. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, plus an extra to spare.
The service throughout the week was exceptional. Daily housekeeping (including laundry), drinking water on two levels, and fully stocked paper products meant we never had to worry about a thing. We loved the fresh coconut water drinks the team made for us. The chef-prepared meals were outstanding, and the birthday cake and decorations made our celebrations feel truly special.
Even though the weather was a bit cooler than ideal for swimming, we enjoyed relaxing outdoors, walking the beach, and playing frisbee golf. Decorating a fence board to leave our mark on the property was such a fun touch. The included 6-person golf cart was perfect for getting around — we never needed to rent a car. We made many trips into the village for amazing food, drinks, and entertainment, and met some of the kindest people all week long.
The laid-back atmosphere was exactly the escape we needed from everyday life. We can’t thank the Gecko team enough for making this such an incredible experience. We truly can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful grounds and location
Stayed for 9 night and was amazing. Housekeeper and gardener were top notch -- ensured everything was up to our standards but were not in our faces the entire week. Chef was phenomenal. Beautiful grounds and location; perfect for a quick golf cart drive to dinner/drinks/grocery. Thank you, Areceli, German, and Arjay!!

Beautiful
It was very private, a beautiful home, close to restaurants, very spacious and beautiful views. very relaxing.
We had a great stay! The house was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and well-equipped for groups or families. We especially appreciated the large tables, games, and thoughtful touches that made it ideal for spending time together. The beach was absolutely beautiful, though worth noting that it’s not ideal for swimming. The staff was kind and helpful throughout our stay. That said, in the future, we’d likely pass on the additional services (the house has chef, housekeeper, maintenance, and grounds keeper) it was a bit disruptive to have someone around so often, especially when we were hoping for a more private, romantic experience. Overall, a lovely spot for a relaxing group getaway!

We also appreciate your feedback about the included services and amenities; our goal is always to strike the right balance, and we'll keep your comments in mind and remind our guest that they can opt out of the housekeeper and chef service if they'd prefer more privacy in the home. We’d love to host you again, whether for a group retreat or a more private escape

Anxious for our next visit to Dolphin Beach Villa
Our 7 day stay was AMAZING!! The house is beautiful and the staff was so helpful and quick to take care of any needs we had. The views and location right on the beach can’t be beat. If you just love the sounds of waves can enjoy that lounging by pool or laying in a hammock. We had great time using the paddle boards and kayaks on the property. Our meals, cooked by Garret were all so delicious. Three different decks make watching sunrise, having coffee or reading a book a real treat. Anxious for our next visit to Dolphin Beach Villa.

Having the golf cart to take easy trips into the town was perfect. We never felt unsafe, and the locals were super friendly.

Didn’t want to leave!
I cannot say enough good things about our time at Dolphin Beach. The house was spectacular and so spacious that we never felt like we were all on top of each other. Basically everyone has their own floor and the outdoor spaces made enjoying the outside from sun up to sun down doable. The pool was such a great feature even though you are so close to the beach. All the linens and finishings were great and the golf cart made going to and from the village a breeze! We will be back again SOON!

Cannot be any closer to the ocean!
alconies on the house are unmatched. I loved traveling around in the golf cart and always felt safe and secure when out and about. The property was quiet and peaceful as well. The furniture and beds in the home were incredible and it had all the creature comforts you’d expect (e.g., big TV with streaming services). It was so cool to be able to leave a painted fence post commemorating our stay too — what a neat touch! I cannot wait to return and bring all my closest friends!
