We were looking for a relaxing end to our three weeks of very active vacationing, and La Tica y La Gata provided just that. While we were only able to book the shared bathroom rooms on hotels.com, the staff were able to upgrade us to a private room for a very small additional charge. This is a beautiful oasis right off the beaten path from busy downtown Puerto Viejo, but although it’s only a 6 minute drive from the town proper, you feel like you’re nestled in the jungle.
Absolutely stunning grounds. The room was exactly as advertised beautiful with great amenities. The swimming pool was fabulous. And, the host so kind and caring very helpful, great communication.
A great place to stay. Nice little kitchenette and comfortable front porch! A nice pool with a great covered space to hang out at! Close to town and beaches.
I found a great spot to hang out in Puerto Viejo, and it's super close to all the action. The staff there was fantastic, always friendly and helpful, making the stay even better. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, which is always a huge plus in my book. Plus, the pool was the perfect place to chill out and unwind after a day of exploring.

Would recommend
Lovely clean friendly spot. Stayed here six nights
Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff. Would most definitely stay here again.
Rooms were immaculate, the kitchen/dinette area is well stocked with utensils, dishes, and appliances, and the outdoor living room area is comfortable.
It’s a nice little heaven where you can unwind all your stress. It’s like a mini jungle where we were staying in a nice little two bedroom house. It’s like living in a judge with all modern facilities. Listening to Birds chirping, monkeys howling from nearby forests was becoming my morning chores. It has a nice little swimming pool open 24/7. Loved it. Host was very friendly and helpful. She even entertained my daughter with a snake(not as scary as it sounds). Walking from the Main Street (Puerto Viejo) felt a bit tiresome but if you have a car, it’s a smooth ride. I will happily recommend this place.
We were really relaxed here! Was so private on our patio! Owner was so kind and informative

Relaxing at end of tour
Really nice welcoming stay. Well equipped rooms for self catering. Fortunately we had a car as it is quite a walk to restaurants and town down a dark lane. Very relaxing stay.
Personal and welcoming host. The room was clean and functional. Perfect for us!

Beautiful and spacious. The kitchen allowed us to store and prepare food. Staff helpful with securing transportation to different sites. Nice pool area. Highly recommend.
Everything was wonderful at La Tica y La Gato! The facility is beautiful and the staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. Cleaning service was excellent.
Very functional and new rooms / property. We loved our stay here, the kitchenette was very well stocked.
Stella and the team looked after us so well. Will definitely return. :)
Overall a lovely place to stay. The accommodation was lovely, clean and comfortable. The pool was perfect to relax by. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful also with recommendations of where to eat it town. The only slight negatives are there was no safe in the room and the long (about 1km) dirt road to get there, but even with a tiny 2wd car going very slow it was fine. It’s about a 20 minute walk into the main town. Overall I would definitely stay here again though
It's a cute, clean, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay at. It has a nice pool. Our unit had a well equipped kitchen. The only negative I felt was a relatively long bumpy dirt road that takes you to the property.
What a nice surprise, after a bad stay the night before. I got much needed rest and sleep as it was quiet and comfortable. Clean, with a pool and kitchen. Pleasant owner and staff too. I would return.
This is such a wonderful "gem" of a property. I loved staying here. Every detail of the design is simple, elegant and comfortable. The room was sparkling clean with a well organized and appointed little kitchenette. I could hear the birds and howler monkeys in the jungle behind with easy access to the beach, restaurants and facilities of Puerto Viejo. Thank you to all the great staff. Wonderful.
