Hotel El Pequeno Gecko Verde - Samara

The natural outdoor shower surrounded by lush plants gave a unique and refreshing experience.

The WiFi was inconsistent in our bungalow, often requiring us to move closer to the pool area for better connectivity.

My king room was air conditioned with air con. Coffee/tea making equipment and refrigerators were very handy.

Really enjoyed my enjoyable stay for a very relaxing vacation. The setting was stunning, really close to palms, bougainvillea and tropical shrubs, the forest about 25 minutes walk from the town of Samara, and a private' secret Beach'. I found there a good choice of restaurants to eat, like Osteria i Santi that is only 15 minutes' walk away.

Fine tropical gardens filled with wildlife made our stay peaceful. Internet connection was very inconsistent in our bungalow.

The breakfast was delicious, had a very lovely stay for 11 nights. The location was exceptionally nice and stunning for me, amidst a jungle of a garden. Also, the hotel was 2 miles away from Koss Art Gallery.

Location: the hotel was close to the Samara City center and the main beach, has a good variety of fresh fruits, and Liberia. All the staff was super-friendly and very very helpful and we had an easy check in.

Some of the staff were not very friendly.

The walk to town is peaceful, but be ready for bugs in the villa.

Free parking onsite provided;)))

well-kept grounds, outdoor shower, hidden beach access

The WiFi connection is a real headache, cutting in and out at the most inconvenient times!!! The living room furniture needs a serious refresh to match the appealing outdoor aesthetics. The pool temperature could use an upgrade!!!

This place was like a hidden paradise! The grounds were fine, surrounded by lush tropical beauty that stands out. Our cabin was clean and well-equipped, especially loved the outdoor shower with its natural feel. Staff, providing helpful tips and even an upgraded room upon arrival. The location, while a bit removed from town, offered peace away from the noise. We struggled with intermittent WiFi in the bungalow, often needing to move closer to the pool for better service. The kitchen utensils could use some improvement. The knives were really dull, made cooking tougher than it needed to be. Despite a few minor inconveniences, the charm of the place and the warm staff were great.

The staff here was attentive and friendly and comfortable.

We encountered issues with the WiFi connection in our bungalow, as it was often sporadic and unreliable, though we found better service near the pool.

We loved el pequeno gecko verde. It was like a jungle oasis with fine grounds, and we loved seeing all the wildlife. The private bungalow was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Having our own kitchenette was super convenient, and the perfect service from carlos. We especially enjoyed the beautiful lagoon pool and its relaxing waterfall.

strongly recommend

The outdoor shower offers a refreshing, natural experience that stands out in the spacious bungalow. Close proximity to a hidden beach allows for a unique retreat away from the crowds.

The journey into town can be a bit tedious without a rental car, especially with the roads leading to the hotel being unpaved and riddled with potholes. Access to WiFi in the bungalow is hit or miss, requiring relocation to the pool area for reliable service.
