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.

El lugar es muy bonito y las áreas verdes son muy lindas. La cocina está equipada (se agradecería que tuvieran microondas). La piscina es agradable. Que no tenga el baño dentro de la habitación (las que tienen dos habitaciones), es algo que incomoda un poco. Está muy céntrico. El personal excelente.

Ruim opgezet appartementencomplex net buiten het centrum van Puerto Viejo. Zeer grote kamer met keukenblok en alle benodigdheden, zelfs een airfryer…(!) Niet al te breed bed met fijne kussens. Veel aflegmogelijkheden. Snelle wifi en perfect werkende airco. Grote badkamer met fijne regendouche. Aan de voorzijde een buitenterras met fijne zitbanken. Ook is er een buitenzwembad aanwezig met ligstoelen. Mooie aanleg tuin. Leuk dorpje met gezellige restaurants. Enige nadeel; de (enige) weg er naar toe is een onverharde weg vol kuilen en bobbels over 800 meter.

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.

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!
