Gecko Hotel & Beach Club

Pure magic. Had read some of the mixed reviews and almost didn’t book Gecko but am still thanking God that I did. This hotel left me in a daze; the property was pure bliss, huge lawns, plentiful pool chairs and bali beds, no “minimums” for the best ones, beautiful dining room with amazing food, and best of all INCLUDED beach chairs right on the most sandy stretch of beach on Playa Migjorn. I visited a few other areas of Migjorn and many of the other hotels “on the beach” are really on rock and coral beds, not sandy parts. The room was confortable and well-appointed, balcony had a great view even for the basic room. The staff were probably the best part, especially the head waiter in the restaurant and front desk staff. They greet you by name and remember your room number, they make you feel like a regular who has returned home. I cannot recommend this property enough. Front desk will also reserve pool or beach chairs for you if you ask the night before but I had no problem getting one at all even with the hotel full. The beach chairs being right on the sand and included for hotel guests (contrary to prior reviews) was really a huge bonus!

Love the Gecko, and this was my third visit. Very high standards all round, so I was surprised to find our 6 o'clock cocktail was a let-down. It looked pretty, nicely served with olives, but it just tasted pretty blahhh and felt it had come from a bottle of pre-mixed drinks It felt like the spirit had been left out: certainly didn't have the PUNCH the margarita had at Besos the day before! When we mentioned it to the waiter, he went off to speak to bar staff, and then only charged us for one. Felt like they admitted it. Come on team Gecko: you can do better!
