Company information

Geckoes is owned and managed by husband and wife team, Tine Mortier & René Flores. We both have backgrounds in education and tourism and extensive international traveling experience. The Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica is a real piece of heaven. Here we have found everything we could wish for; spectacular nature, beautiful beaches, a warm sea and a fantastic climate. In stead of high-rise buildings and big developments, you will find plenty of individually owned restaurants and businesses with a great mix of nationalities. We are very committed to sustainable development and eco-friendly practices. Our houses have been designed to fit the landscape rather than vice versa, and we try to do our bit for the environment wherever we can. We look forward to welcoming you at Geckoes and helping to make your holiday unforgettable.

Property information

Geckoes Lodge is located on a hill in Cocles, at the verge of the stunning rainforest. All of our 4 spacious and very private accommodations offer you spectacular views of our lush jungle gardens. We have a standard bungalow with lovely garden views, a 'glamping' house with yoga deck and 2 luxury villas with their own private plunge pool. At Geckoes Lodge, you can get a meet and greet with sloths, toucans, howler monkeys, hummingbirds and lots of other wildlife. Together, we do our utmost best to realize your perfect holiday with friends or family. Geckoes Lodge is only minutes away from the most breathtaking beaches of the Caribbean and of a variety of restaurants catering to every taste. Get your free snorkeling gear to explore the coral reefs from white sandy beaches, or ask us to book you a horseback trip through the rainforest. Surf the Salsa Brava or take some beginners lessons, zipline through the rainforest canopy or simply do some birdwatching from the hammock on your private terrace while the barbecue cooks dinner. For pictures of the activities, you can have a look on our website.

Neighbourhood information

Being just 1km off the main road, it can feel as if we are miles from anywhere. But in fact, Geckoes Lodge is within easy reach of everything. World-class beaches and marvelous and affordable restaurants are just around the corner. This is what most people would consider living the Caribbean life. And we have the rainforest as well! With the rainforest comes the wildlife and we can regularly see sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, parrots and the magnificent Blue Morpho butterflies from our veranda. Geckoes is a beautiful piece of rainforest that we are lucky enough to be able to call home. We look forward to sharing this unique place with you.
