게코 호텔 & 비치 클럽(Gecko Hotel & Beach Club, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World)

Perfect place to relax and enjoy a very chilled vibe a very short distance from Ibiza Town. Attentive, yet laid back and friendly staff. The food is fresh and tasty. The beach has a boardwalk for a large portion, so there is an opportunity for some lovely walks and swims in the clear, blue sea.

Stayed at this hotel last year and absolutely loved it. Beautiful place with generally very good friendly staff. What lets it down is the food. It really doesn't measure up for a hotel of this calibre. It fails on both the presentation which s very basic and the taste. Had 3 very mediocre meals. Caesar Salad - everything just placed separately around the plate, lettuce only swarming in dressing Seabass - over cooked but nice grilled vegetables as a side Beef stir fry - thick heavy sauce, fatty beef and over cooked vegetables. We were asked if we enjoyed the beef as we had hardly eaten any. I said as you have asked it's not for me. When pressed I said what I don't like about it. The waiter then proceeded to tell me he had eaten it and it was delicious and maybe it just wasn't to my taste but nothing wrong with it. - not good practice when I said the beef was fatty etc. I just told him he asked for my feedback and wasn't interested in how he found it. Quite rude from a waiter. The rest of the waiting and general staff were lovely. Very disappointed and have no desire to return as the whole point to stay in a nice hotel is to have food better than average. This was not even average.

First time back to Gecko in 5 years. Location is still best on island, but the hotel is now looking quite tired. I was there for an excellent yoga retreat run by Anna & Yannis, so very well looked after. Food & pool amazing. My hesitation in recommending to friends is simply down to the tiredness of the rooms. Beds, bedding, towels, furniture all now quite worn & not commensurate with the calibre & cost of hotel. Hoping there are plans to address.

We stayed for 3 nights in Gecko. The Hotel is like a boutique hotel. Very nice, well decorated and the service is amazing. We stayed in a room with a small pool facing the garden. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very nice (service and food). The swimming pool is amazing and the beach very nice just 10 meters from the hotel swimming pool. We padel surf and used the kayak also. Will come back for sure

Had lunch today, mine ONLY table . OUTSIDE in their garden and was finishing a sigarette at the table : i was invited by a waiter to move right away ….1 mt to the garden. There is no Spanish law forbidding to smoke outside anywhere. Also tact and common sense in a 5 star Hotel !

We did a beach pass for the day coming from Ibiza. The beach club was so nice and clean. The food was amazing and the service was also great. Devash was a particularly attentive server and made our day experience great!

Oasis of understated luxury. Perfect ambiance: appropriate playlist, excellent service from the staff (rarity these days), welcoming barman and delicious restaurant food. The Sea food paella was mouth watering. We didn’t stay but used the facilities.

I love this place so much. Only came on a day pass this time around as had our daughter with us. I managed to book the passes for the wrong day, but instead of the annoying post-COVID nonsense you get from a lot of high end places, nowadays, Gaiel and his team couldn’t have been more friendly and understanding. The place is paradise within paradise and if you eat one thing while you are here - make it the lobster rice - unbelievable. Cannot fault this place. Promises a lot, BUT delivers on all fronts. You have to come here if you are in the island.

The Gecko is a terrific small hotel right on the beach on Formentera, and has great food and sensational service. The rooms are on the small size considering their price level, but......there are so many things to do at the hotel and around the island that one is only in the room in the evening. Some rooms have their own plunge pools, and direct access to the pretty garden.
