In Belize, look no further than the Gecko Bungalow for accommodations. Close to the airport but no airplane noise, close to Belize City but you feel like you are in a secluded jungle. We couldn't decide if we wanted to stay on an Island or mainland but after reading the reviews for Gecko Bungalow, we decided to try it out. It did not disappoint.
Michelle asked if we would like her to pick up some drinks/snacks for our arrival (cost + 20%). Say yes, it was so nice to arrive at the Bungalow with beer, rum, juices and snack waiting for us.
It is a 25 minute drive to Belize City, Michelle can recommend drivers or rent their car. Then we took a water taxi to San Pedro for the day. It was really nice coming back and relaxing by the pool afterwards. The driver even stopped by a local vendor for us to pick up some local street food....which we ate pool side.
We rented their car to visit the Lamania Mayan Ruins, she suggested we take the river boat tour to the location. It was so much fun. We saw all kinds of birds, flowers and a crocodile.....plus the ruins.
Our last day we lounged by the pool, eating fruit and drinking our rum. Then had a driver take us to a great shrimp restaurant about 7 minutes away. Captain Hooks is a MUST.
The entire facility was very clean and well maintained. The window unit AC in the bedrooms will keep the room cold for sleeping. That was my only concern but it was no issue. We spent all our other time lounging by the pool. We will be back!
