THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The Gecko Bungalow is nestled back off the main drag in a terrific Safe neighborhood area called Lake Gardens! Treat your stay as your very own Home away from Home!
GETTING AROUND:
We are located about 2 miles from the Phillip Goldson International Airport (but you will never hear any planes!) We are happy to provide Free courtesy pick up and drop off for you to and from the Phillip Goldson International Airport. Just send us your flight information before your arrival.
The Gecko Bungalow is about 15 miles from the heart of Belize City, in the town of Ladyville. From here you are 1.5 hours away from Corozal Belize and Chetumal Mexico, just over the border to the North. Three hours to the South, enjoy the sands of Placencia and another hour past that to beautiful Punta Gorda.
Nearby adventures include Altun Ha Mayan ruins with fantastic photo opportunities at the top of ancient structures. Also, take a tour to the awesome Lamani Mayan ruins. After an easy drive, you'll hop on a boat and tour down the river, Jumanji style until you land at one of our larger Mayan ruin villages, Lamani. Enjoy an included, served picnic lunch and take a guided tour. About 30 minutes from the Gecko Bungalow you can visit the incredible Zoo (more of a Rescue Sanctuary) to see virtually all of the wild animals of Belize. Plan your day right and enjoy a mainland "must-do" Cave Tubing adventure and an exhilarating zip line excursion! A short drive to the city and you can hop a boat to one of our islands for a day trip, or take a backpack and spend the night so that you can snorkel at the Hol Chan Nature reserve and Shark Ray Alley! For our nature lovers, take a drive to the Botanical Gardens at Cockscomb Nature Preserve or explore the jungles in San Ignacio....So much to see and do, let us help you plan your itinerary!
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
You'll definitely want a rental car unless you want to tackle the local bus system or use shuttle companies which can get expensive. If you ever wondered where the old school buses in the states go to die, it's here! They're not real comfortable and make frequent stops.
Because of this, we can offer For rent at $75.00usd per day and exclusively to our guests an insured Kia Sportage 4WD for you're use. We don't charge any hidden fees the other guys charge do!

We had a great stay at this accommodation. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in and check-out very easy. The location was convenient and quiet, which made it perfect for relaxing after a long day. We really appreciated the small thoughtful touches that made the stay feel welcoming. Would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again.
We arrived in Belize early, and contacted Scott and Michelle, they gave us recommendations for a great restaurant while they were getting our bungalow ready for an early check in. The lovely house keeper, unfortunately was sick and couldn't come to work, but you would never know it. Scott managed like a boss! Not only was he the housekeeper, but the concierge, shuttle driver, and host!The moment we walked through the gate, it was a fun, funky, campy, paradise! " Alexa, play yacht rock" ! The gecko pool was crystal clear and we were greeted by the most awesome pool keeper Luci Lizard. We were a party of 3 in the gecko bungalow, 2 bedrooms, well appointed, bright and clean decor. There was a small kitchen, but had everything we needed, mostly congregated in the outdoor grill kitchen poolside! Scott and Michelle were responsive to all of our questions and needs, and had contacts for everything from tours to taxi service. If we are ever blessed to return to Belize, this is where we will stay! 10 out of 10 recommend!
Michelle and Scott were wonderful hosts. So kind and knowledgeable about the area. They picked us up from the airport and took us to the grocery store for snacks and such and made sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t have set plans upon arriving so we took their suggestion to visit Lamanai and it was the perfect recommendation. The Gecko Bungalow grounds are so lovely; well decorated and comfortable. There’s lots of lighting accents everywhere and the pool in the courtyard with the swim up bar made us want one in our own pool.

The pictures don't do the property justice. It is an absolutely wonderful place. The hosts and their property manager we're all very attentive. Do not hesitate to book this property.
This place is amazing, great pool, great gardens and amazing hosts. The propert is super clean. We will be staying here again on our next belize vacation.

What an amazing and incredible venue. Scott and Michelle were absolutely amazing. Once I added them to Whatsapp, they were super responsive to "any needs/questions." They really went above and beyond to make my stay feel like we were guests in their home. Only downside to the venue is that the bungalow I was in did not have a kitchen, and typical breakfast was not readily close, but our hosts provided us with a full array of options of where we can go. Before our trip was over, we were already recommending the property to our friends back home.
Had a wonderful experience at the Gecko Bungalow. Michelle and Scott are amazing hosts, and to be honest, the property is even better than the pictures. You will love the pool and outdoor area which has lots of comfortable seating and an overall awesome vibe. The hosts recommend an excellent driver, the location was perfect for tours/excursions, and the food options were plentiful. You will not be disappointed :)
We had the best experience!
Hosts are fantastic!
Property was fabulous & we can't wait to go back! Already looking at dates for our return to the Gecko Bungalow!
