Your Hosts, Michelle and Scott Lyons, relocated from Boise, Idaho will be here to visit with you. We will help you with anything you may need. We are fun, friendly, and energetic and absolutely love it here in Sunny Belize. Come for a while, make some new friends, have a terrific time, and make some really great memories before you have to go back. We're certain you'll return. You really must come and visit! You'll love it here. Call Us or Whats App us for more info at +501, 634, 8010 in Belize.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

The Gecko Bungalow is nestled back off the main drag in a terrific Safe neighborhood area called Lake Gardens! Treat your stay as your very own Home away from Home!

GETTING AROUND:

We are located about 2 miles from the Phillip Goldson International Airport (but you will never hear any planes!) We are happy to provide Free courtesy pick up and drop off for you to and from the Phillip Goldson International Airport. Just send us your flight information before your arrival.

The Gecko Bungalow is about 15 miles from the heart of Belize City, in the town of Ladyville. From here you are 1.5 hours away from Corozal Belize and Chetumal Mexico, just over the border to the North. Three hours to the South, enjoy the sands of Placencia and another hour past that to beautiful Punta Gorda.

Nearby adventures include Altun Ha Mayan ruins with fantastic photo opportunities at the top of ancient structures. Also, take a tour to the awesome Lamani Mayan ruins. After an easy drive, you'll hop on a boat and tour down the river, Jumanji style until you land at one of our larger Mayan ruin villages, Lamani. Enjoy an included, served picnic lunch and take a guided tour. About 30 minutes from the Gecko Bungalow you can visit the incredible Zoo (more of a Rescue Sanctuary) to see virtually all of the wild animals of Belize. Plan your day right and enjoy a mainland "must-do" Cave Tubing adventure and an exhilarating zip line excursion! A short drive to the city and you can hop a boat to one of our islands for a day trip, or take a backpack and spend the night so that you can snorkel at the Hol Chan Nature reserve and Shark Ray Alley! For our nature lovers, take a drive to the Botanical Gardens at Cockscomb Nature Preserve or explore the jungles in San Ignacio....So much to see and do, let us help you plan your itinerary!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

You'll definitely want a rental car unless you want to tackle the local bus system or use shuttle companies which can get expensive. If you ever wondered where the old school buses in the states go to die, it's here! They're not real comfortable and make frequent stops.

Because of this, we can offer For rent at $70.00usd per day and exclusively to our guests an insured Kia Sportage 4WD for you're use. We don't charge any hidden fees the other guys charge do!

AFTER YOUR STAY:

We Hope that you had a Terrific Time with tons of Great Memories. We kindly ask that you leave us a 5/10 Star Review (depending on your booking site) as those are Super Important to us and our page ranking. We will surely leave you back a 5/10 Star review! If anything did not go as expected, please let us know so that we can fix it for you and our other highly valued guests. THANK YOU!!

Amazing guest house
This was an absolutely fantastic guest house with phenomenal hosts. The pool was amazing for a quick night swim before bed. The decor was fun and everything had great attention to detail. My 11-yo son rated this as the best hotel he’s ever stayed in.

So much fun!
We had so much fun staying at the Gecko Bungalow. The adult kids loved the pool and the whole resort vibe of the pool area, outdoor sitting space and all the plants. We "older" people just enjoyed hanging at the pool and outdoor kitchen soaking in the Caribbean air. At night the place lit up and transformed into a completely different place. We had so much fun. We will be back and we will tell all our friends. Thank you so much Michelle and Scott. You both rock!!!

Great gem by the airport
The Gecko is an amazing little oasis carved out near the airport. They have done such a fantastic job building out this special place. Michelle and Scott, the owners, are delightful people and extremely hospitable. There was some confusion on my end when booking, and they were very accommodating in helping to resolve it. I cannot recommend this enough for a little stay before or after your trip in Belize.

Great last night in Belize
Cozy bungalow close to the airport. We had an early flight out and wanted to avoid the drive in from Belize City. This was a perfect option for us. The bedrooms were comfortable and the AC was great. We enjoyed our last evening by the pool. Communication was great. Would happily return.

It was like staying with your favorite relatives
Disclaimer: This is my experience and does not guarantee the same for your stay.* I am a law student who decided I needed to escape California for spring break at the last minute. I did not have ANYTHING planned, and I traveled solo. Staying at the Gecko house made my spontaneous trip feel like I went to visit my aunt and uncle! Not only was I picked up from the airport, but Scott also introduced me to his friends on the island, and they accompanied me out for my first dinner in Belize. The next day I was able to catch some great tours (also set up by Scott and Michelle) by renting their vehicle, and Scott even let me borrow cash for my trip until I could find an atm (whaaaatttttt!!!) When it was time for me to leave, Michelle set up my ride to the water taxi and showed me how to purchase my tickets. They took control of all the planning so I could study and unwind. This was BY FAR the best experience I've had at an air b &b, and I look forward to staying with them again!! Michelle, you were lovely, but Scott, this one goes out to you!!

What CANT we say? Superior service and attention to detail and friendly assistance whenever and as many times as you can think of anything. We enjoyed our stay very much and especially the help with our itinerary so we made the most of our visit. The pool area did not disappoint! And the best part was Chase, Juicy and Lincoln!
