The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Italian Cuisine

I had such a fantastic experience dining at Gecko Resort! The a la carte restaurant offers a wide selection of Italian dishes combined with local specialties. Every meal was expertly prepared, from the pasta to the seafood, making each dining experience truly good. Breakfast was equally impressive, with various options that never got old. I particularly loved having a meal by the pool, enjoying the beautiful surroundings while savoring delicious food.

Cozy and Comfortable Rooms

My stay at Gecko Resort was incredibly comfortable due to the well-equipped Standard Double Room I had. It featured a kettle for tea/coffee, modern air conditioning, insect nets above the beds, and a spacious bathroom with a big standing shower. The rustic charm of the room made it feel homey, while the cleanliness and attention to detail, like freshly applied insect repellent, kept me at ease throughout my stay.

Relaxing Poolside Experience

Gecko Resort boasts a wonderful pool area that is perfect for relaxation. I spent several afternoons lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun. It was well-maintained and offered plenty of space with comfortable lounge chairs. Accessibility to clean showers and restrooms nearby made my poolside experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated that the resort kept the number of vendors trying to promote their businesses to a minimum, allowing for a peaceful atmosphere.

I had an amazing time trying out kitesurfing lessons right on-site at Gecko Resort! The availability of such activities in such a beautiful setting made my vacation even more adventurous. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable, making it easy for me to embrace this thrilling sport. This experience was one of the highlights of my trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting!
