What guests think
At La Tica y La Gata, guests consistently praise the spotless, modern, and well equipped self catering rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and a relaxing pool, noting a quiet, green setting still within reach of town and beaches.
Guests frequently highlight spacious layouts and private patios that add comfort and privacy. Several note the approach is a long, bumpy, and dark dirt road, with the walk to town feeling lengthy; a few isolated comments mention a soft bed, occasional power cuts, or the lack of an in room safe. Overall, expect a relaxed, self-catering base slightly removed from town.

This was our first time in Puerto Viejo, and we picked this place because the ratings were so awesome. And it's no surprise why! The hotel is super chill and eco-friendly, but still has all the stuff you need for a really comfortable stay. The staff, and even the owner, are just incredibly friendly and welcoming—none of that stuffy, fake-smile vibe you get at other places. The hotel is totally off the beaten path, which we loved. It's close enough to all the restaurants and shops (like our new favorite, Cafe Rico), but far enough away that it was quiet at night. We really appreciated being less than a mile from the noisy part of town so we could just relax. The saltwater pool and the board games in the reception area were a major plus, too. We've officially found our go-to spot in Puerto Viejo. Can't wait to come back and see you all again soon!

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

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.

Down a long winding road on the outskirts of town, you escape to a quiet oasis. The double and single duplex units are perfect for self catering holidays. It is better if you have your own transport, otherwise take a Tuktuk or taxi. The pool and lounge area is a tree lined relaxation spot. The kitchens are either outdoors on the patio or indoors in the spacious units. Bring your own shampoo but bar soap and dish soap are provided. Well equipped with cookware, an air fryer, toaster, kettle, coffee maker and hot plate. Lovely owner and staff. Hot showers but need kettle to boil water for dishes.

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.

Uns hat der Spaziergang zum Essen gehen super gefallen weil wir immerwieder neue Dinge entdecken konnten. Die Unterkunft ist modern eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und wir hatten eine tolle entspannte Zeit hier und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Ein großes Dankeschön an Stella, die stets super freundlich, geduldig und hilfsbereit war. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft wärmstens weiter!

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.

Es war ein rundum toller Aufenthalt bei Stella, die Besitzerin von y tica y la gata. Abseits der Hauptstraße war es ruhiger als im Zentrum. Uns hat der Spaziergang zum Essen gehen super gefallen weil wir immerwieder neue Dinge entdecken konnten. Die Unterkunft ist modern eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Betten waren sehr bequem und wir hatten eine tolle entspannte Zeit hier und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Ein großes Dankeschön an Stella, die stets super freundlich, geduldig und hilfsbereit war. Wir empfehlen die Unterkunft wärmstens weiter!

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.

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

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.

Down a long winding road on the outskirts of town, you escape to a quiet oasis. The double and single duplex units are perfect for self catering holidays. It is better if you have your own transport, otherwise take a Tuktuk or taxi. The pool and lounge area is a tree lined relaxation spot. The kitchens are either outdoors on the patio or indoors in the spacious units. Bring your own shampoo but bar soap and dish soap are provided. Well equipped with cookware, an air fryer, toaster, kettle, coffee maker and hot plate. Lovely owner and staff. Hot showers but need kettle to boil water for dishes.

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.

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.

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.
