Mexico and Central America vacation rentals

I rented this property bring my parents in law to Mexico for their first time in Mexico. The property manager welcomed us with so much kindness and spoiled us quite a bit. The place is far more beautiful than what the picture reflect (I was already at awe with the pictures) The location is wonderful, safe, clean and there’s a huge array of places to visit, walking distance, if you enjoy exploring.

Clean, amazing view. Great host who had a welcoming present of cold beer and fresh fruit waiting in the fridge. Just be advised that the road up to the house is quite steep and best to have an ATV or car with 4x4 mode. The view is worth it!

We spent a week in February 2025 at Casa Quinta des Leones and it was wonderful. From the fabulous breakfasts and dinners courtesy of Omar to the helpful staff and especially manager Angie, we had everything we needed. The pool was perfect for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 – as well as bigger kids in their 50s and 60s and even the birthday boy of 85! The bedrooms were spacious and there were lots of places to sit quietly with a book – and a margarita! We loved whale-watching from the 2nd floor and saw several humpbacks over our 7 days. Angie arranged yoga by the pool and massages – and a mariachi band for the birthday boy. Everything we needed was purchased for us but if we wanted a few bags of chips or a bottle of sunscreen, the OXXO store was literally steps down the road. It was all we’d hoped it would be.

Beautiful house, wonderful views, great service providers. Particularly appreciated the host's attention to our situation, and her flexibility with respect to our needs.

Wow, wow and more wow! Casa Bambu is a special, special place, and we were so fortunate to spend 6 magical days there. Peggy was wonderful answering my questions and providing recommendations before we arrived (and yes, get the 4x4 - you need it. I’ve been driving Costa Rican roads for 14 years, and the road up is no joke. But it becomes an incredible part of the adventure!) Jorge and Trina (property managers) were amazing and answered any questions we had. And the HOUSE!! The view is spectacular. You feel really secluded in a private, natural, calm, quiet oasis. We loved cooling off in the pool, sunsets on the loungers, morning time on the covered veranda watching the toucans, beautiful dinners in the eating nook and pre-sunrise snuggles in the beautifully appointed bedroom with the spectacular view. You have everything there that you need to chill, relax, cook great meals and connect with nature. If Casa Bambu is available, grab it! You will leave relaxed, re-energized and definitely believing in magic!

Very nice condo in a great location. Playacar Phase 1 is a quaint and quiet area on a beautiful beach. It’s a pleasant walk to town, but taxis are easy to get as well. The photos provided are accurate. We enjoyed our stay and will return.

Stayed November 11-18 2023. Everything was top notch. Mabel was on top of things. Quick to respond to texts from Supplied mobile phone! Great to have on drive to Placencia with golf gart. Chef (we hired for the extra days) was awesome. Domingo did nothing but please our palets, Thanks again. Only thing that was not brought to our attention were outside lights. Found the pool lights and Palapa at end of pier lights second last day. A sign on post might help or include in orientation. All in all stay was 100% Would stay and recomend any Gecko properties to friends and family.

From the moment we walked into the home it took our breath away! The View!! The home itself was perfect! Freshly renovated with upscale appliances, the best ice maker ever! Beautiful bar area, amazing kitchen. We had so much room for 8 ladies, not to mention the fun we had. Everything you could possibly need is available in this perfectly situated home on the beach with spectacular views of the ocean and sunsets! Can’t wait to return next year!
