Jamming Gecko Villa was exceptional, the staff we fabulous (daily cleaning ang they will do your laundry) the chefs produced really tasty meals (3 meals for around $25US per person per day). Mabel, the concierge, is on hand for recommendations, problems solving etc. The villa is stunning, the pictures don’t do it justice.
There is a second golf cart for rent if you don’t want a car, Placencia is about 10 miles away and takes 30 -40 minutes in a golf cart, but the pool at the Placencia hotel (which is available to Gecko Villa guests and very beautiful), the nearest grocery store and other restaurants and bars are within a 5-10 minute golf cart ride away.
We ate at the Maya Hotel Bistro twice - great food and service, and Mangos - great location, food ok, great cocktails.
The barefoot bar in Placencia has the longest cocktail list I have ever seen 🙂
We would highly recommend Truly wild tours, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Diving and snorkeling was also amazing.
All in all we can not recommend this villa highly enough
