First tripTo Costa Rica

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and staying at Geckoes was absolutely perfect! It’s perfect distance from the beach and town! I adored waking up in the morning and having my coffee while listening to the rain! It was honestly a perfect experience.

Great setting to view wildlife and experience the rainforest all while being very close to the beach

Tom and Zoe were wonderful hosts and provided us with the inside knowledge of where to go and what to do all while feeling safe in a new environment. The grounds are breathtaking and the house is more incredible than the pictures give credit! Truly amazing experience!

Perfect destination for families, adventure or romantic

This property has it all. Location is perfect and the description of features is accurate. AC is not needed, you would be feeling like you are camping in the jungle but has all amenities to have comfort. Hosts will ensure you get anything you need and be ready to help. Fully recommended

Family Christmas vacation

We had a great time staying at Gecko's lodge. Tine and Rene were very welcoming and made our stay really enjoyable. We loved the treehouse and the open air concept that gave us a really neat experience in the rainforest setting. We were able to see monkeys, sloths, frogs, birds and many other animals all in their natural habitat, right from the deck of the house and walking through the garden. Tine helped us book activities and recommended many great outtings in the area during our time. Gecko's is a 5 min drive to grocery stores and beaches but still tucked in the forest to give a private, relaxing holiday. Pura Vida!

Lovely lodge, conveniently located near Puerto Viejo

We had a very nice stay at the geckoes lodge with our sons. We enjoyed the open concept of the house, you really feel one with nature. The place was neat and tidy, and the house was cleaned daily by a housekeeper. We were met by the daughter of the owners who was very nice and helpful. They had a thoughtful welcome gift of local fruits and chips. It was nice to wake up to sounds of the howler monkeys! The closest beach was too close to the road for us, but a beautiful beach with turquoise water and white sand was a short drive to Cahuita National Park which is a lovely hike with many opportunities to spot sloths, white face capuchins, howler monkeys and snakes, just to mention a few!

A delightful experience

The property is just far enough into the jungle to feel like an authentic jungle experience, but just a few minutes from Puerto Viejo and the most beautiful Costa Rican beaches you've ever seen. This is an open-air property (i.e. no air conditioning) with a gorgeous 180-degree view. In our short stay, we saw toucans, an agouti, dozens of hummingbirds, a variety of butterflies, an oropendola, unique dragonflies, lightning bugs, a dozen different birds and too many varieties of tropical flowers, plants, and trees to describe... all of this from the living room. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a unique jungle-like experience away from the hustle and bustle of your typical touristy vacation spots. But so very convenient to get to town, beaches and excursions. I do not recommend this property to those that need air conditioning (lows at night in the low 70's, highs in the day in the high 80's) or those that want to be insulated from the amazing sounds of the jungle at night. The property owners are warm and friendly. They were available if needed but in no way was obtrusive. They also left a lovely welcoming gift of local fresh fruits and snacks. A truly wonderful experience.

Comfortable and cozy. Authentic place.

My husband, seven years old son, and I stayed at Geckoes Lodge. Even though we came late, we had a warm welcome from the family and a beautiful basket of fresh fruit. Our stay was comfortable. The lodge equipped with everything we needed to have a relaxing vacation. The kitchen and sitting areas are, however under the roof, beautifully situated in the outdoors. We enjoyed the lush greenery, sounds of the jungle, and the comfort of this beautiful home. Tine and Reene supply filtered water, so you don’t have to buy it. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would love to stay at the lodge again. With appreciation, Regina

Beautiful house and property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geckoes. The house and grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed it so much didn't feel like we needed to go anywhere. Tom and Zoe were terrific hosts and you knew you were going to be well looked after. Would definitely stay there again.

Unbelievable!

We spent 9 nights in Casa Bromelia and absolutely loved it! The entire property is beautiful. It was really incredible sharing the rainforest with howler monkeys and toucans. The owners, Tom and Zoe are great people. They were amazing hosts and really made every effort to make our stay a memorable one. Thanks to Jose and Tita who did a great job keeping the place clean. An awesome place in a really beautiful part of the country.

About the host

Hosted by Tine & René

Host profile image
Geckoes is owned and managed by René Flores and Tine Mortier.

We have backgrounds in arts, education and landscaping. Before moving to Costa Rica, we have lived in Belgium, Ecuador, Spain and Colombia. A couple of years ago, we decided it was time for a new adventure and set out on a quest for the perfect spot.

We found this spot at Geckoes Lodge: a most private and luxurious holiday accommodation, set in a stunning rainforest background. We fell in love immediately and decided to stay.
We go the full mile to maintain the beauty of the surroundings and minimize the impact on the rainforest and its inhabitants. Therefore, we commit to sustainable development, eco-friendly practices and environmental consciousness. Our operating practices and the houses are designed to fit the landscape rather than vice versa.

For years, Geckoes has welcomed many guests to this magical part of the world. We look forward to welcoming you at our place. We’re here to help you have an unforgettable holiday!

Why they chose this property

Geckoes Lodge has four holiday houses in a magnificent rainforest and river setting. It is only minutes from some of the world's most beautiful beaches.

The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is where the rainforest meets the ocean. This area is stunningly beautiful and development remains small-scale, which means more beach, nature and wildlife to enjoy.

This is the perfect place to be. Here we have everything one could wish for: a spectacular property, beautiful nature, a warm sea and a fantastic climate. What we don't have is high-rise buildings and big developments but instead, plenty of individually owned restaurants and businesses with a great mix of nationalities.

At Geckoes you can feel away from it all, yet be within easy reach of all amenities. It's a place to unwind, relax, enjoy the spectacular rainforest surroundings and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped family lodge with your own kitchen and private plunge pool.
Beautiful views of our rainforest garden.
Spotting all kinds of wildlife from the commodity of your terrace: howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, sloths, the magnificent Blue Morpho butterfly...
Enjoy nature, while you have all amenities at hand.
Only 1.5km away from world-class beaches and marvelous and affordable restaurants.

Geckoes is a gorgeous piece of rainforest that we are lucky enough to be able to call Home. We look forward to sharing this remarkable place with you.
