We loved the Gecko condo's! They were clean and well stocked with everything you may need while on vacation. The golf cart rental was easy in that they had the golf cart waiting for us at the condos. They had kayaks and bikes for us to use. Everyone had plenty of room in the condos and the beachfront was great in that we had our own private beach. We also had massages which were booked through Gecko and they came to the condo. This is our second time to Belize and was by far the best experience!

Condo was very nice with nice view on water side
Condo was very nice with nice view on water side. Nice secluded private beach on water side. Entry side was ok but view was a little obscured by a bunch of electric wires and rusty transformer. And reason I put a 3 for location was the road to the condo was a dirt/gravel road with a lot of pot holes. Having access to golf cart was a nice touch but a pain to drive thru the pot holes every day.
Sunset Gecko is the ideal condo for two couples. Lots of room inside and two outside decks to sit and have a drink or read a book. Our group really enjoyed the roof top pool and views. The condo was well equipped for cooking and entertaining. The staff kept the outside tidy and housekeeping did a great job on the inside. The condo is a bit of a walk to get to the sidewalk area and main part of Placencia so we rented a golf cart. This made grocery shopping easier and we were able to explore further north on the peninsula several times. We have already booked our stay for 2024 so that would say it all for our experience at Sunset Gecko!

Un lugar precioso, excelentes instalaciones y todo en perfectas condiciones Lo recomiendo como excelente
This was our second trip to Placencia. We love the small village, people, restaurants and the relaxed pace. Sunset Gecko met every expectation. The condos had everything we needed, the mornings and sunsets from the pool deck are amazing. The Gecko staff were responsive and helpful. We will be back!
