Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde

A serene and peaceful oasis on the outskirts of the town. Excellent facilities, friendly staff with professional service and communications. Beautiful maintained forest garden setting with a peaceful pool and breakfast / cafe under a palapa. Cabanas are private spacious and tasteful with good facilities. Tours and taxis can be arranged with ease and most places are in short walking distance on quiet roads or via the beach.

We loved our stay! We stayed in the family suite with the private pool and it was absolutely perfect. Its a short drive/walk/scoot to town which makes for a nice quiet stay while still being close to all amenities. The staff were amazing and the little soda on the corner was delicious. Thanks!

So much better than I had imagined. Everything about the unit we stayed in (3 bedrooms, dip pool, AC in bedrooms) as well as the hotel was perfect! BOOK. You won’t be disappointed. My 11 and 12 year old loved it so much, especially waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys, watching the hermit crabs at the hidden beach a close walk away, and spotting the iguanas around the property. The shared pool was a favorite was well! We swam in it every day.

We stayed in a well-equipped little hut with air-con (necessary), a kitchenette with all you need to make simple meals, and a beautiful porch with chairs and tables and a hammock, all tucked away and seculded in the jungle garden but 2 minutes from the pool. Bautiful beach is 15 mins walk away through the jungle, and Sámara beach - and others - are a short car ride. Breakfast was delicious - tried everything on the menu over our stay - and coffee was the best I've had. The staff were super helpful with everything; via them we booked the whale and dolphin tour with Octopus Tours, which was a superb way to spend a morning.

We were told breakfast was included when we checked in, when we checked out we were billed for it. When I confronted the manager she literally went on their ******* site and changed it to not included breakfast, right in front of me! When I reserved my bungalow I was told only the largest was available, 2 people in a sleep 7, so I reserved it, the property was not sold out. I was told because I had the one that has a kitchen I had to pay for breakfast because I could have cooked my own! I don't vacation and rent the most expensive villa to cook for myself. Also the TV did not work while we were there, could not sign into NetFlix or Prime, NO english channels and staff could not fix it. There is no A/C in living room/kitchen where you want to hang out, only in bedrooms, so you have to just lay in bed when your'e not out or it's raining. I brought up multiple inconsistent immenities and she would just change the wording on their ******* site as I spoke. They would not even offer a discount on breakfast to get a better review, they just ignored me, typical French. They are obviously new to hospitality and are not interested in making a customer a happy or a return customer. Also we are both handicapped and staff were aware of it since we use canes and cannot walk well, not once did staff offer to help us with unloading or loading luggage. We do not recommend this place. If you have reservations I would think twice and rebook somewhere else.
