It's time for Geckoes.
Geckoes Lodge has just two luxurious holiday houses with private plunge pools in a magnificent rainforest and river setting minutes from some of the world's most beautiful beaches.
The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is where the rainforest meets the ocean. This area is stunningly beautiful and development remains small-scale, which means more beach, nature and wildlife to enjoy.
Elevated to capture the rainforest view and with spacious accommodation for four, Casa Bromelia is the perfect place to holiday with friends or family. But it can also be a wonderfully romantic escape just for two.
Casa Bromelia is your luxurious holiday home from which to explore the Caribbean coast:

About the neighbourhood
Geckoes Lodge is situated on Margarita Road in Cocles, 3 kilometres south of the village of Puerto Viejo and 1 kilometre inland.
Puerto Viejo stretches along the the south Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and encompasses the neighbourhoods of Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva and Manzanillo, where the road ends.
The small settlement of Cocles has numerous restaurants and supermarkets and easy access to the beach. Quiet and relaxed Cocles is home to both locals and foreigners and the best restaurant on this coast!
Although each neighbourhood has its own character, the entire area has a distinct Caribbean atmosphere due to the historical influx of Jamaican settlers. This is illustrated in the prevalence of Caribbean cuisine, reggae music, Rasta and Patois being spoken alongside English and Spanish.
However, this 'Garden of Eden' has recently attracted people from all over the world resulting in an international mix of cultures reflected in the variety of restaurants!
Far less developed than the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the Caribbean coast is verdant and lush with great tracts of pristine rainforest bordering the spectacular beaches. The pace of life is 'tranquilo' and being surrounded by such tropical beauty lends itself to relaxation and embracing the good life: 'Pura Vida'.
Getting around
Many guests choose to get around by bicycle from Geckoes Lodge - you can even rent them here!
Car Rental is also easy to arrange in Puerto Viejo and gives the ultimate freedom to explore this coast.
Taxis are plentiful and since you have a simple cell phone with your house you can easily call one from wherever you are.
