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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Solo tuvimos un inconveniente con la comida, en la mañana llegaron los congos y se llevaron todo
El lugar se encuentra 1 km de la carretera principal y el estado de la calle no es apto para carros bajos

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!

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!
