The resort is amazing and really peaceful. The location over the Mida Creek is fabulous with a fantastic view. Sleeping in the bubble is an unique experience, you can fall asleep watching the sky full of stars and be woken up by the sunrise. The owner and the staff are very kind and helpful in everything. We had a great time in Rock and Sea and we hope to come back soon.

    My stay at Gecko Hotel was truly enjoyable. The resort staff were incredibly hospitable, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. The service throughout my stay was excellent - friendly and prompt, ensuring all my needs were met without hesitation. The room provided was beautiful, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, creating a comfortable environment even the hot weather. Additionally, the lunch and dinner options offered at the hotel were quite pleasing.
