The Geckoes Lodge is made of of two different rental properties. We stayed at the one bedroom Casa Del Bosque for four wonderful nights.. It is perfect for a couple. The living area and kitchen are totally open to the surrounding forest. At night you can hear all the different animals speaking to each other. It is almost like a... More

First, let me start by saying this is the first time I have ever traveled out of the US. My husband and I flew first class through United and had an amazing flight. After a long flight, we arrived in San Jose and then took a private transfer to Puerto Viejo, Limon. Tom met us out at the gate to... More

Our 9 nights at Geckoes Lodge were spectacular! The property itself, the owners (Tom & Zoe) and the caretakers exceeded our expectations in every way. We tried to do as much as we could without missing out on just hanging around the house amongst the wildlife. Extra props for the bed linens guys!

...and I don't mean at the end of our stay, it was difficult to leave the house each morning! My 13 year old and I had a rare mother/son escape to Costa Rica, and taking advice from all the emphatic reviewers here, chose Geckoes Lodge. It exceeded our expectations, and those were already high! Everything everyone has already said here... More

We recently enjoyed almost ten days in Casa del Bosque, one of Tom and Zoe's two beautiful guest houses. As everyone has said before us, their warm hospitality, helpful tips, and kind gestures made us feel very comfortable and cared for. They have created a wonderfully private paradise in the rainforest. You could not ask for better accommodations and you... More

We got back to our hometown, Chicago, last night at around midnight. Having just spent 8 days in Puerto Viejo, I thought I'd be glad to be back in my own bed. However, I found myself unable to sleep; I was missing the sounds of the rainforest and the fresh air; I was missing Geckoes Lodge. Don't get me wrong,... More

Tom and Zoe, I wanted to Thank You again. We had a wonderful time and appreciate the outstanding hospitality that you both showed us. Our trip was amazing, your accommodations were amazing, the grounds were amazing. We honestly could not have asked for a more relaxing week. Please feel confident that we will tell as many people that we can... More

We stayed at Geckoes in Jan 2013 as the conclusion to our 3 week honeymoon touring Costa Rica. My husband booked the place, and I will be honest; as we drove away from the palm lined beaches and into the forest my heart dropped... Would this be an anticlimax to an incredible 3 weeks...? Well, I am big enough and... More

Barefoot Luxury they say! A secluded hideaway they say! It is all this and more!!! Firstly the owners Tom and Zoe are the most hospitable couple we have ever met. After spending a couple of hours chatting we had a great knowledge of the area, and felt we had met great new friends. The lodges themselves are beautiful, with the... More
