We had a nice two night stay at the Gecko Bungalow. Michelle and Scott were great hosts, as if we’ve known them for years. We chose it as a home base to explore the mainland of Belize rather than Belize city. The location isn’t near a whole lot, except the airport, but Scott stopped by the store on our way from the airport so we could get a few snacks and some beer, even helped us order pizza delivery late night.
Our tour guide (Charlie’s Cave Tubing, highly recommend) picked us up in the morning, so we never really needed a vehicle for our short stay.
As for the space, nothing fancy, but it’s got everything you’d need. Basic kitchen setup: 2 burners, toaster, refrigerator, sink, coffee and maker.
Words of advice: BRING BUG SPRAY!! Michelle and Scott spray the property, but still lots of biters, and not just mosquitos. Off! costs about 30-40% more in Belize than in the US.
And the dogs! Be ready to play some fetch. They have three of the sweetest dogs, and we loved getting our puppy fix while away from ours.
