About the host
Hosted by Gary McGeoch
Hola,
My name is Gary and I live next to the hotel in private accommodation. You will usually find me around during the day (after a morning surf) attending to the pool and gardens and am always happy to help with any questions you may have, am also usually around to greet you on arrival along with Wally and Willow (my two dogs).
I am very well travelled and after many years living out of a backpack have finally settled and now call Costa Rica my home.
I enjoy meeting new people and take pride in offering my guests a relaxing stay here at Nakanku Lodge.
Wally & Willow enjoy cuddles and are very sociable and friendly. You will usually be greeted by wagging tails or even accompanied on a walk to the beach.
