We are fun, friendly, and energetic and absolutely love it here in Sunny Belize.

You'll love it here. Call Us or Whats App us for more info at +501, 634, 8010 in Belize.

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!

AFTER YOUR STAY:

We Hope that you had a Terrific Time with tons of Great Memories. We kindly ask that you leave us a 5/10 Star Review (depending on your booking site) as those are Super Important to us and our page ranking. We will surely leave you back a 5/10 Star review! If anything did not go as expected, please let us know so that we can fix it for you and our other highly valued guests. THANK YOU!!

We had a wonderful stay. The bungalow was spotless and decorated super cutely! We spent several hours just floating in the pool with drinks (available for purchase). The hosts were available all the time and took us to/from the airport, saving us $30 each way. They also called a local restaurant and had someone come pick us up to take us to dinner. Could not have been happier! Wonderful place.

I absolutely loved this super unique and upscale 5-star boutique resort. They went the extra mile - in all directions at this beautiful property. There are a few bungalo options that are all uniqueand charming. Try the freshly made mango daquari, too. You won't be disappointed at all- as a stay here is truly one of a kind. I hope to be back soon!

Our family of four had an amazing stay at Gecko Bungalow. It had all the comforts of being at home, however with an amazing tropical paradise backyard. The hosts, Michelle and Scott, treated you like old friends from the get go of our airport pick up and supported us with our adventure plannings for our 3 day stay. We definitely will be back at the Gecko Bungalow to further explore main land Belize.

The Gecko is an amazing little oasis carved out near the airport. They have done such a fantastic job building out this special place. Michelle and Scott, the owners, are delightful people and extremely hospitable. There was some confusion on my end when booking, and they were very accommodating in helping to resolve it. I cannot recommend this enough for a little stay before or after your trip in Belize.

It was way more than the pictures. The landscape was as if you were experiencing an oasis in the desert. Michelle and Scott were the best hosts and beyond accommodating. I'll definitely be returning to utilize the entire compound.

I am glad I was able to end my vacation at the gecko bungalow. Michelle made sure that everything was taken care of with the multiple shuttles to and from the airport. The bungalow was an oasis and I was very glad to get to experience it with my first trip to Belize. Michelle and Scott made it feel like another home away from home. Definitely looking forward to coming back! 😀

Cozy bungalow close to the airport. We had an early flight out and wanted to avoid the drive in from Belize City. This was a perfect option for us. The bedrooms were comfortable and the AC was great. We enjoyed our last evening by the pool. Communication was great. Would happily return.

The listing is exactly as described. We chose it for the proximity to the airport for our final night in Belize. It was not only practical for that reason but such a peaceful, relaxing end to our trip before a full day of flying home. Scott and Michelle felt like new friends with their great stories and information.

Michelle and Scott were by far the best hosts we had on our trip! They were super accommodating and were very responsive with messages. I had reached out to Michelle for restaurant recommendations while on our way and they had dinner made for us when we got there poolside! They were very accommodating and 2 steps ahead if we ever needed anything. I would absolutely come back and stay again and again!

The cottage was as described - cute, convenient, and well equipped. But the true strength of this rental are the hosts, Scott and Michelle. They answer questions, offer suggestions, and calm the nerves of travelers New to a foreign country. Picked us up and dropped us off at airport as we wished, and the rental car was so convenient. Felt like we were leaving two friends at the end of our stay.

What CANT we say? Superior service and attention to detail and friendly assistance whenever and as many times as you can think of anything.

Perfect spot for us & our dogs. Beautiful pool & landscaping that will serve as your outdoor living room. Friendly & accommodating hosts (we are always hesitant to stay where owners are onsite -- but Scott & Michelle were super laid back and truly great hosts!). No full stove/oven but does have electric burners, toaster & microwave so it was easy to make breakfast before heading out for the day. This is now our go-to spot when we need to spend time in Belize City (already booked our next stay!). Highly recommended!
