Lovely place, beautiful pool, recommended

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

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.

Late November 3 night stay

We had a great stay at La Tica y La Gata! We booked a single room which had a queen size bed and Stella kindly put an extra single bed in the room as we were 2 friends travelling together. The room was really clean and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The veranda was great for sitting out and felt really private with the palms in front, there was even a hummingbird who came to feed on the flowers. The accommodation is down a long track which is fine for walking in the daytime but can be a little intimidating when it's dark as it's not very well lit in parts so we missed the entrance to the accommodation a couple of times. It's easy to catch a tuktuk from the town though and we're glad we caught one from the bus stop initially - we'd recommend doing this if travelling via public bus. The beds were made and the room cleaned and fresh towels provided every day. The pool area was lovely and the staff were really friendly. The Interbus picked us up directly outside and we were really sad to leave, we would definitely stay longer next time!

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.

Down a long and winding road to an oasis!

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.

Loud Party Spot Run By Absent Host

Don't do it. The pictures look as though you're staying in a serene location, away from the hustle and bustle of the main road but what you get in nothing but a headache. There were 5 adults in a double occupancy room next to mine partying all day and night, blasting music as early as 8am in the morning to well after midnight. When I messaged the host Christina to complain about the noise she took over an hour to respond. All other hotels in the area had sold out so there was no other place I could go. After I complained to Hotels.com an hour later I noticed the water in my room was shut off. When I message to complain, I was told the city shut off the water but that they fixed it. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned out to be a stressful nightmare. The walls are paper thin so you hear EVERYTHING. It felt like I was staying in a hostel next to a nightclub the noise was so loud. The host also refused to issue a partial refund for the serious inconveniences. You're much better off staying elsewhere.

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!
