Welcome Drink

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property. Getting from BZE to the villa is easy with 3 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by one of the Gecko Properties staff and taken directly to your villa. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the villa. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to the villa is around 2.5 hours. The roads are all paved and a good portion of the drive is on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway that goes through the Maya Mountains. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked

Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the villa yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company. You would just need to go online to book and secure a vehicle prior to arrival.

Vacation
The staff was great. Appreciate the housekeeper and the chef. Both did an excellent job. The kitchen cabinets were dirty looking and some of the cabinet doors were falling off the hinges. Took the top of the toilet tank off one of the bathroom because the toilet was continuously running and there was black mold. Overall the experience was great and my family had a great time.

We had an amazing stay at Laguna Gecko, it's even better than the pictures show! I wasn't very comfortable with the idea of having a chef and maid underfoot , I thought it would be uncomfortable and intrusive, but it was absolutely amazing!!! Manuel and Martha were such a joy, great food and leaving a vacation with no dirty clothes, unheard of !!!! I'd love to bring them both to the US, hehe. This was by far the most relaxing vacation I've ever had!!

Villa Laguna Gecko Placencia
Our stay at Villa Laguna Gecko in Placencia was outstanding. The area was fantastic, safe, and convenient to beaches and restaurants. Our group regularly used the pool at the house as well as kayaked. The staff was attentive, the cleaning was well maintained, and the chef cooked great meals that was almost better quality than eating out. The only complaint was that our golf cart that was provided with our stay broke down twice - after the original issue we were told was fixed, we had another issue and had to hitch hike back to the house. Other than this I would highly recommend anyone staying at Villa Laguna Gecko if they are visiting Placencia.

Perfect for our needs
This is an absolutely beautiful home at a beautiful location! It fit the needs of our family perfectly as far as bedrooms and eating area. The fact that the house has its own pool was a tremendous hit especially with our five grandchildren. The kayaks were also very popular. The chef who came prepared absolutely fabulous meals that everyone raved about. In fact they were so good that we hired him for an extra dinner! We enjoyed eating our breakfast and lunch on the patio which had a large enough table to accommodate all of us and provided a beautiful view. The housekeeper was also very helpful and kept everything neat and tidy as well as taking care of our dishes and doing our laundry. We all enjoyed our short jaunts in the golf cart as well. Renting this house also enabled us to use the huge pool at the casino and that was popular with the kids because it had a shallower children’s area. The people we were in contact with about the house were exceptionally helpful and always answered in a very timely manner anytime we had a question. We have vacationed in many many places but all of us agreed that this was the nicest vacation place of all. Should you rent this house I think you will agree.

The most amazing and relaxing vacation! Fabulously comfortable & well-appointed home! UnBelizeable!!
THANK YOU for your help & patience to Talia & Mabel but especially to Namir. Our holiday was a getaway for 6 lifelong friends celebrating our 50th bdays which would not have been the same without your guidance & attention to detail. Namir even worked with a friend back home to coordinate surprise bday cupcakes! A trip of a lifetime & every time I asked questions for the group you were all extremely responsible & always had the answers. The assistance with every single recommendation & booking was perfect & extremely helpful also comforting because booking excursions were all done on-line or on WhatsApp. Several of us are already talking about a return trip to Placencia & staying at either Laguna Gecko or another fabulous Gecko Vacations homes. Every single person we met during the trip was lovely, friendly, helpful, looked you in the eye & always had a warm smile for you. Laguna Gecko A lovely Belizean rum punch greeted us upon arrival! This spacious, beautifully appointed comfortable home with everything you'll need. There were 6 of us for four days & 4 of us for the remaining time. More than enough room & certainly can accommodate more people comfortably. The beds & linens were lovely, bathrooms were gorgeous & tons of towels. The outdoor shower was my favorite! The kitchen has everything you'll need for cooking. It’s set up for entertaining & since the chefs are often there cooking it has most everything like spices, coffee filters, oils, tinfoil, some condiments, etc. The home was 25mis to village; 10 mins Maya Beach Bistro area; 10min walk/5min cart ride to the Placencia Resort. Laguna was best of both worlds staying on the lagoon with the Maya mtn view & walkable to the ocean. Transfers ran like clock-work, extremely comfortable. Provisions via the sample list was provided was perfect. We picked up liquor/wine in BZE duty-free. Chefs One word is amazing! Fresh, delicious, thoughtfully planned & locally sourced. Daily services in the home were always spotlessly cleaned & laundered. Martha washed anything we needed which was an amazing surprise. Location & safety we never felt uncomfortable or vulnerable. Additional: Cash is king; fly from BZE don’t drive; Naia Spa, Nautical Adventure, Captain Jak’s all wonderful! Maya Beach Bistro was favorite also hit Mare, Afrotide, Barefoot, Tipsy Tuna, Pickled Parrot, Cozy Corner, Bonefish, Above Grounds, resort Sunday BBQ. We LOVED Placencia, Laguna Gecko & everyone we met. Can't wait to return!!!
