The location was quiet and an easy walk into the hub of Puerto Viejo but you could totally relax here, chill around the pool or enjoy the local wildlife position.
There could have been a mirror in each of the bedrooms and a piece of art to upgrade the boutique experience but otherwise it was great and the ow er. old not have been more helpful

A beautiful quiet and comforting place to call home when you’re visiting Puerto Viejo. Landscaping and design makes this a perfect private getaway. Well equipped for making the most of your stay, and interaction with personnel was always positive and welcoming.
The location is off the main road which is definitely an advantage with regards to noise but when it rains it is a bit of a challenge to navigate at night.

The grounds are lovely and I especially liked the pool and the verandah. Room was perfect.
When I ran into some problems the owner and her daughter went out of their way to help me, for which I’m very grateful.

Netter Gastgeber, die Zimmer sind relativ gross inkl. Küchenzeile und Balkon mit Wäscheständer. Sauberer Pool.
Zimmer sind etwas trist und hellhörig. Unterkunft ist leider etwas abseits, wobei man den Weg innerhalb von 20min laufen kann (Die zweite Hälfte führt durch Puerto Viejo an der Strasse entlang - Unser Tipp Fahrrad mieten).

Aufmerksames Personal mit vielen Hinweisen.
Es hätte Pool-Handtücher und mehr Liegen geben können.

The property was spacious, clean, and beautiful, and it had everything we needed for a very comfortable and pleasant stay. The pool area and grounds were also very clean and beautiful with many tropical plants and blooming flowers.
The 2-bedroom apartment bathroom needs AC, and the common/kitchen needs ceiling fans.

La Tica y la Gata is an amazing place to be at when visiting Puerto Viejo. True, that it is a bit away further from the beach and it is preferable to have a vehicle (bike, toktok, car) to get in and out (around 2 minutes by bike and 10 minutes walking; but the staff (the owner, her daughter and all empolyees) are very freindly and helpful. The two rooms apartments are gorgeous and the pool and walking isle between rooms is beautiful. The wifi is superfast and the rooms are spotless and cleaned daily. I do recommend this place to anyone visiting PV.

The rooms, bathroom and outdoor space are very spacious, the pool is great, the employees are very helpful & kind and go an extra mile to make your stay amazing. The site is really pretty with the little lights and in the middle of a garden. Very clean and there is AC in the rooms.
It’s a bit far away from the main road and the connecting road is a pebble one and very dark after sunset. I would recommend to take a tuk tuk or go by car after sunset.

Loved the staff, the location was perfect (close to the main centre but far away enough to not be disturbed by the noise). It was a beautiful experience.
Nothing, we absolutely loved our time here!

We loved waking up to the sounds of birds and howler monkeys. The apartment set-up worked well for us - with the bedrooms separated, we could set our AC to different temperatures. The outdoor kitchen/lounge was spacious and felt private. The staff were really friendly and helped us arrange tuk tuks on several occasions (even when we were in another town). We were very happy with our stay at La Tica Y La Gata.
The walk from the main road is on a dark unpaved road. We actually appreciated the walk, but some people might find it too far. However, it's easy to get a tuk tuk if you don't want to walk it (and many people also have rented cars).

Very nice welcome for us in Costa Rica! Very friendly and helpful people. We got an extra bed for our youngest kid so we could easily fit 5 people. All is nice and clean and the kids loved the pool!
Short walk to town and to our favorite bakery ;-)

Rooms are beautiful, big and comfortable with everything you need. Pool area is great. Incredibly helpful and kind stuff (especially the guy at the reception and Christina online). They gave really good tips where to eat and what to see. Good location close to Puerto Viejo center and the beach.
The open living room + kitchen looks nice with a good vibe but not too practical:
monkeys stole our food one night, they opened a half-locked plastic box, cannot leave valuables, no privacy as everyone is walking to their apartment right before your open living room, cannot sleep with open doors so our kids were afraid in the room as the rooms are not connected (they were even afraid to leave the room at night to go to the toilet as monkeys came to our living room), etc.
All minor things though and overall it’s a great place!

We had a very bad experience at this accommodation, therefore wouldn’t recommend it. The first evening we arrived and within the first 2 hours we spotted 7 cockroaches (in bathroom and both bedrooms). The next morning we went to speak to someone at the reception, they seemed forthcoming, apologized, and let us know that they will use a spray against bugs and change our bedsheets and towels. We had to pack all our things and wait until this was done. Coming back a few hours later the apartment was full of dead cockroaches and the spray had an extremely strong smell which led to us having allergic reactions to it, the bedsheets and towels
were the same. They cleaned the floor but waking up the next morning there were again dead ones all over the floor. The issue seemed to be resolved until the next evening we spotted once again large cockroaches at several places, including one inside our luggage. As no one was at the reception we wrote a message to the provided number which was ignored until the next late morning when we went to reception. We received another apology and they let us know that the bugs are hiding in some empty spaces so they needed to remove the panels and spray there as well. Due to the allergic reaction and to not make it worse we asked them to not remove all panels and make it worse while we are still there. Coming back in the evening the doors to both bedrooms were unlocked (all our valuables were there) and they let us know they had removed the panels (regardless of us asking to please not do it while there) and they didn’t “want to suggest that we are lying” but they didn’t find a single cockroach (we had shown them some already). In the evening we found again several cockroaches in bathroom and our bed. We asked for a partial refund seen as we had to co-exist with what seemed to be an infestation and pack our things several times during our stay.

The location is very quiet, the room and the rest of the propert was very clean. Fully equipped kitchen. Internet working properly. Very nice area around the pool.
I would not recommend this place without having a car. It is about 1 km walk to the main road and even a bit more to a beach and a supermarket. The road has no lights so it was not comfortable to be moving around after dark, also once we were almost attacked by a dog from a house by the road. No hair dryar provided.

Awesome apartment, great location , friendly staff, and the best cleaner in Costa Rica .
No headboard and no mirrors in bedrooms, some small finishing touches would greatly add to this property.
8.0 / 10.0
I really liked the layout of the outdoor area. The living room and kitchen were open air, with the bedrooms air conditioned. The kitchen was nicely equipped. The staff was very nice and helpful. It felt secure!
Ceiling fans in the open area would have worked much better than the floor fan. Add mattress covers to make the bed a bit more comfortable.
