Discover Your Jungle Escape at Geckoes Lodge

Tucked away in Cocles on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, a short drive from the lively town of Puerto Viejo, Geckoes Lodge is your gateway to rainforest bliss. Our four fully equipped vacation homes offer space, complete privacy and a close connection to nature. Each house has its own private garden and plunge pool, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and abundant wildlife.

At Geckoes Lodge, mornings start with the hoots of howler monkeys, afternoons bring lazy hours in a hammock, and evenings are filled with fireflies and frogsong. Sloths, toucans, blue morpho butterflies, agoutis, armadillos and hummingbirds are regular visitors.

Whether you’re looking for a romantic hideaway, an adventurous family break or a peaceful solo retreat, Geckoes is more than a place to stay. It is an experience in slowing down.

Come for the beaches.
Stay for the jungle.
Return for the magic.

Our Houses

What they say about us

On the property we saw toucans, macaws, geckos, agouti, and a sloth. The villa was lovely and the private backyard with the mini pool was a great feature.
