About the host

Hosted by Tine & René

Geckoes is owned and managed by René Flores and Tine Mortier.

We have backgrounds in arts, education and landscaping. Before moving to Costa Rica, we have lived in Belgium, Ecuador, Spain and Colombia. A couple of years ago, we decided it was time for a new adventure and set out on a quest for the perfect spot.

We found this spot at Geckoes Lodge: a most private and luxurious holiday accommodation, set in a stunning rainforest background. We fell in love immediately and decided to stay.
We go the full mile to maintain the beauty of the surroundings and minimize the impact on the rainforest and its inhabitants. Therefore, we commit to sustainable development, eco-friendly practices and environmental consciousness. Our operating practices and the houses are designed to fit the landscape rather than vice versa.

For years, Geckoes has welcomed many guests to this magical part of the world. We look forward to welcoming you at our place. We’re here to help you have an unforgettable holiday!

Why they chose this property

Geckoes Lodge has four holiday houses in a magnificent rainforest and river setting. It is only minutes from some of the world's most beautiful beaches.

The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is where the rainforest meets the ocean. This area is stunningly beautiful and development remains small-scale, which means more beach, nature and wildlife to enjoy.

This is the perfect place to be. Here we have everything one could wish for: a spectacular property, beautiful nature, a warm sea and a fantastic climate. What we don't have is high-rise buildings and big developments but instead, plenty of individually owned restaurants and businesses with a great mix of nationalities.

At Geckoes you can feel away from it all, yet be within easy reach of all amenities. It's a place to unwind, relax, enjoy the spectacular rainforest surroundings and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Fully equipped lodge with your own kitchen and 360 degrees views of our stunning rainforest garden.
Spotting all kinds of wildlife from the commodity of your glamping house: howler monkeys, toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, sloths, the magnificent Blue Morpho butterfly...
Enjoy nature, while you have all amenities at hand.
Only 1.5km away from world-class beaches and marvelous and affordable restaurants.

Geckoes is a gorgeous piece of rainforest that we are lucky enough to be able to call Home. We look forward to sharing this remarkable place with you.
