Boutique hotel nestled in tropical gardens with private outdoor showers

Accommodations

Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde places guests in private bungalows scattered around a large lagoon-colored pool with a relaxing waterfall. Each bungalow offers a lounge area with French doors leading to a private patio with a dining space and hammock, plus a fully equipped kitchen and satellite TV. A private outdoor stone shower is available in most units, providing a unique open-air bathing experience.

Dining

The hotel serves daily breakfast in a palm-roofed palapa, featuring a menu with local and international options paired with freshly squeezed juices. For other meals, guests access diverse menu choices from partner restaurants in the area. On-site amenities include a bar and a coffee house, both situated by the pool.

Activities & Surroundings

Guests at Hotel El Pequeño Gecko Verde can explore a natural jungle path leading to a hidden beach and cliff overlooks with Pacific views. On-site activities include horse riding, snorkeling, diving, and bicycle rental, while tours can be arranged through the reception. The property sits 1 mile from Sámara center, and Carrillo beach is 6 miles away.

Family-Friendly

The hotel offers room configurations that accommodate families, including options for cribs and a Family Villa with a private pool. Board games and puzzles are available for children, and the spacious grounds allow for safe exploration. A 24-hour security system and CCTV surveillance add an extra layer of safety for families.

Wildlife & Grounds

The property is surrounded by a botanical garden with over 100 plant species, attracting howler monkeys, coatis, iguanas, and numerous bird species. Guests frequently report seeing more wildlife on the hotel grounds than in nearby national parks. The outdoor pools with views and relaxation areas are set within this lush environment.
