Isla Gecko offers a budget-friendly stay that meets basic needs, especially if you're looking to enjoy the beach. The rooms were clean, but they lacked some amenities and the noise from nearby areas could be bothersome. The staff were generally accommodating, but the dining experience left much to be desired. Overall, it's a decent option for the price, but not ideal for those seeking more comfort and facilities.

Isla Gecko is in a convenient location, just a short walk to the beach, but the path can be dirty and rocky. The atmosphere feels homey, and the staff is helpful and accommodating. However, the rooms are quite small and can feel claustrophobic, and the overall facilities could use improvement. For the price, it offers decent value, especially with friendly service, but I would recommend keeping expectations in check regarding room size and comfort.

I had such a wonderful experience at Isla Gecko! The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the beach and the bustling marketplace nearby. The place is clean and the owners are incredibly welcoming. While the dining options are limited, the freshly cooked breakfast was great. It's not a luxurious stay, but it offers fantastic value for money with all the essentials. Just be prepared for some noise from nearby guests.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is just a quick 3-minute walk to White Beach. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we were comfortable during our time there. Although the room was a bit small for four adults for what we paid, it was clean and had all we needed. It's worth noting that the location is perfect for getting to the beach and other attractions, but expect some small inconveniences like requesting room service each day.
