The five bedroom home was welcoming and extremely well appointed! The staff were outstanding and so helpful and friendly. We were served tempting tasty meals by Manuel and felt truly spoiled. The house is perfect for a couples retreat or a mult- generation family. Many areas to gather, eat and relax! Indoor and outdoor games and equipment were ready available! This was a long anticipated family trip and couldn’t have been better! A 10/10 vacation. We really enjoyed Rudy‘s Adventure Tours! They were exceptional! Thanks Bob for the excellent communication throughout the process! Will definitely recommend your place!

Amazing Vacation

The home was absolutely beautiful and its amenities allowed our entire family (age range 75 to 7) to be included and enjoy the vacation. The dock was the perfect spot to watch the manatees play in the water, the kids loved the beach and pool and we played games on the veranda every evening while chef Domingo cooked amazing meals. Overall a wonderful place to unwind and relax!

Relaxing Vacation

From booking to check out it was fantastic. The staff pampered us throughout the day. There was 9 of staying ranging from 10 to 50. The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. All the kids could not get enough of paddle boarding or sea/land animals we saw everywhere. Booking excursions and massages was great with help of MaBel. Highly recommend staying at Tipsy Gecko!

Great Family House

This house surpassed our expectations. We appreciated each person who cooked, cleaned and kept our area spotless, especially Sonia and Domingo. We took advantage of the SUPs and kayaks as well as our pool and the pier. Very comfortable and a lovely place to stay in the Placencia area.

Great visit, house, and staff

Tipsy Gecko was a positive rental experience. The house was exactly as advertised, the staff (including chefs) were proactive, positive, and amazing, and the pre-trip communication was incredibly professional and helpful. I fully recommend this place and the Gecko properties (they have others that are different sizes for different groups of people).

Tipsy Gecko is a great house for a vacation. The chef did a wonderful job cooking for us. The balance of the staff could not have been more accommodating. The house itself was in great shape and accommodates 4 couples really well. Well worth the visit

Amazing vacation

Villa Tipsy Gecko was fantastic! We had our four children, their spouses and our four grand children. We had plenty of room to gather. The outdoor spaces were dreamy! We spent most of our time in Belize on property. The chef services were well worth it, high quality delicious food. All the staff were so friendly and accommodating. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Amazing! Wonderful area and home.

Our group of eight included sister, brother and their spouses as well as son and daughter in-law and a great couple of friends who are just like family. The home was just as described; comfy, roomy, great chef, housekeeping and grounds staff that would do anything needed to make our stay wonderful. Bob was great to work with; informative, accommodating, and very helpful! The Placencia area is beautiful with plenty to do at the home and around the village. The supplied golf cart was the perfect addition and was used regularly to explore. We'll be back someday! Thanks to all.
