Turns out our favourite stretch of sand just got an ego boost — and frankly, we’re here for it. Playa Cocles has been named one of the 100 best beaches in the world, according to Corona (yes, the beer — not the thing that ruined your travel plans in 2020). And we’ve been fans since… well, forever.
What’s so great about it?
Well, this:
– Gold-dusted sand that glows like it’s got a ring light.
– Jungle rolling right up to the shoreline like it’s trying to sneak into your beach selfie.
– Surfers riding waves with the grace of caffeinated dolphins.
– Sloths and toucans occasionally photobombing your walk back to Geckoes Lodge.
And did we mention it’s about a twenty minutes flip-flop stroll from your pillow if you’re staying with us?
So… What now?

Well, you could stay where you are, scroll through photos, and wonder why your toes aren’t in the sand. Or, you could come experience it for yourself — without crowds, big resorts, or the fight for a sun lounger. At Geckoes, we’ll hand you the keys to your jungle hideaway, point you toward Cocles, and let nature do the rest. Maybe even offer you a cold beer 🙂
Come see what the fuss is about.
(We’ve known all along.)
