“Very pleasant stay”
Overall, the accommodation fully met our expectations and needs. Everyone was always willing to help—from the reception staff to the restaurant team and even people around the property. The pool is large and very pleasant, and the restaurant, bar, and service were excellent. The internet worked well, and the sun loungers by the beach were nicely arranged with plenty of space. The beach and the sea are beautiful, although there are significant tides. The bungalow matched the photos; it was functional, though it could benefit from a slightly cozier atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay 100% and would be happy to return. We would also like to once again thank all the reception staff for their kindness and support—whether with transportation, arranging the return of forgotten items, or handling our requests in general.

Gecko was amazing! We arrived late to a well made room perfectly airconditioned to allow a good night sleep. The staff were super great and helpful with everything, the pools were fantastic and well maintained, the location is perfect with the beach being our favourite thing about it. Breakfast spread was amazing, we never lacked for anything. We loved the place and will sure be back for a longer stay.
