Why Talia Walton chose Plantation
Jammin' Gecko is located in heart of some of the best saltwater fly fishing in the world as well as world class diving and snorkeling on the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. The now fully paved 26 mile Placencia road makes getting on and off the peninsula by car a much more enjoyable and faster experience, thus making access to the rain forest, Mayan ruins, cave tubing and other attractions in the jungle easily accessible. Being the 6th home we have constructed, Jammin' Gecko will have all the amenities a family or group of friends could want in their vacation rental. High end finish out with use of local hard woods, all natural stone flooring and attention to detail inside and out. Third floor master suite provides the ultimate in privacy and amazing views of both the ocean and the mountains. While the home has high end efficient and quite air-conditioning it was designed to open the windows and doors to take advantage of the cool ocean breeze. Besides the fabulous residence you will be staying in, PLACENCIA OFFERS THE WHOLE BELIZE EXPERIENCE!

Beautiful property with all the amenities.
Beautiful and relaxing. Enough to do in the area for the more adventurous. Everything was top notch and well appointed.
Wonderful!
We just stayed there for our 20th Anniversary with family and friends and had a great time. It met all our expectations and more! The staff was extremely helpful and gracious. After a very expensive and unprofessional fishing trip I asked Domingo, one of the Chefs, for advice on how to prepare the 2 baracuta we caught. The next thing I know he had them cleaned and gutted, cut in steaks and marinated them. All I had to do is grill them the next day! This is just one example of how the staff went above and beyond. I wish we could have stayed longer than a week.
Perfect for a Large Group
We stayed in Jammin Gecko and had friends in the house next door. What fun. The ocean view is spectacular, and the house has a great pool. Mabel and the staff took care of everything, and the food in particular was great. If you have a large group, you will fight for the master suite on the 3rd floor! Would go back in a heartbeat.
Villa Jammin Gecko was Awesome, once again!
This is our fourth trip back to stay in this little piece of paradise! We will be back again, too. We loved the view, the kids enjoyed the beach and the private pool. The staff kept the house clean and the chefs prepared wonderful meals. We enjoyed the private waterfall nearby, enjoyed the ocean, zip lining and shopping in the village.
Paradise
We LOVED everything about our stay here! There is so much to do at the house, we didn't even have to leave. The weather was perfect, the chefs Domingo and Manuel were amazing! All the restaurants we ate at were exceptional. We are already booking our trip back!
Felt like a part of Paradise
Our stay her was outstanding! The house and grounds are beautiful, and the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate every one.
Location
Private secluded beach, close to three of the best restaurants on the Peninsula, fish or watch sunset over lagoon and mountains from dock on lot across street.
