Beautiful and relaxing hotel. Our room was very nice, clean, comfortable, with a balcony and amazing view of the ocean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast option was great, you get to eat by the garden next to the pool. We even got to see many wildlife animals here. Would definitely come back!!

Beautiful grounds, wonderful staff, delicious breakfast. We cannot wait to return again!

We decided on this property based on past reviews. We stayed 7 nights for our 20 year wedding anniversary. This property is truly exceptional and I honestly think it has to be one of the best properties in the area! The staff=wonderful, the grounds=beautiful, the room=amazing, the view=Spectacular! The pool area was great... we actually had a sloth hanging around one day and he was at eye level in arms reach :) plus the monkeys all around the hotel made it such an amazing experience! The included breakfast was great and the breakfast staff was super nice! Conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Will definitely be back!

Had a great time. Thank you for your help navigating the area. Very relaxing especially outside on the patio watching nature at it’s best!

This property is absolutely gorgeous. The pool area is beautifully landscaped and feels like a little tropical oasis. We were able to see so many monkeys in the trees and it was fun to watch them with the other travellers. Our unit had a big balcony with a hammock to relax and enjoy a distant ocean view. The desk and bar staff were so friendly and made everything easy. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back!

The rooms are nice and clean. Lots of Jungle plants and trees. Dennis is a great host and very helpful.

Incredible! Waking up to the sounds of nature, watching squirrel monkeys frolicking in the trees while swinging in the hammock on the balcony with a view of the ocean. Walk to restaurants nearby or make your own using the stove, oven, microwave, blender. Enjoy free breakfast by the pool. Yolo is a 2 min walk away with pub games, pool table, live music and good pub fare. Wifi is great. No TV (you really don't miss it!, and if you do, head to Yolo where they have plenty for you to watch your sports). Security 24/7, great staff. You MUST go to happy hour every day, by the pool, where Ramido makes the best drinks. Buy his homemade hot sauce to take home with you!

A wonderful place to feel the vibe of the jungle ! Really loved it and the view was spectacular.

One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. Pool is incrdible. Space is well kept and the view of the ocean from our balcony was great. There's also a lot of wildlife nearby....more than what we saw in the park. We were also given great recommendations for restaurants nearby.

The staff was really friendly and communicated excellent with one another. 10/10.

Beautiful room & views!! Check-in & out was so easy. The pool was amazing

Gorgeous location.. the staff was great, friendly and efficient. They booked transportation from the airport which worked out perfectly and provided great recommendations for activities. Breakfast each day was very tasty and Dennys was very helpful. Hope to return some day!

The property is absolutely gorgeous. You are right in the middle of nature enabling you to see beautiful toucans, macaws, butterflies, and monkeys. Dennis was so helpful and kind. The property is well kept, bright, and welcoming. It is more than I expected. A wonderful stay. ❤️

There simply are no words to explain how absolutely wonderful of a place Villas Nicolás is. Dennis and the other staff members are so accommodating. We stayed in a lovely unit with a balcony. There were toucans, monkeys and so many birds we could enjoy from our balcony. Great kitchen area for cooking. The pool was heaven. If there were more and 5 stars available for a rating I would give it to Villas Nicolás.

We loved our stay at Villas Nicholas! We had a beautiful room (room 7) and every morning a little bird tapped on the window to wake us up. We enjoyed the breakfast and the lovely pool and great location close to great cafes and restaurants. Especially loved the friendly and helpful staff.

We really enjoyed our stay here

We loved staying here. We were welcomed by Monkeys on our porch on the first morning. But they moved on and we didn't see them the next two days. We stayed in room 8 which was a small room but had a fabulous veranda. It was also the highest up. it had a great ocean view and was very private! I would stay here again if I ever came back to the area.

Our room at Villas Nicolas was well appointed, comfortable, and the view from the deck was truly spectacular. We saw toucans, monkeys and macaws all from our deck. Everything on the grounds was beautiful, clean and well maintained. The staff were all friendly and helpful, but the property operates more like a B&B than a full service hotel. Breakfasts in the pool garden were quiet and relaxing, but the selection was pretty limited. Overall a great stay, and we would definitely recommend.

An amazing property! Immaculate landscaping fits well with the rain-forest ecosystem in the region. Great pool, friendly staff and great views of the hills and ocean. Would recommend!

We were able to see monkeys and a sloth right from our patio! Great place, clean and friendly staff.

From the moment we stepped out from our car at the parking lot we were greeted by Dennis, the Hotel Manager. He personally took us to our room and provided us with the most relevant information to enjoy our stay. Located in the beautiful Manuel Antonio area, Villas Nicolas combines the lushness of the jungle forest with the tranquility of a Spa. The suite was beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. (I have to mention that the pictures on Expedia and their website do not fully capture the beauty of this resort). Our stay included daily breakfasts (delicious Costa Rican meals) served by an always attentive staff, led by Enoch and supported by his delightful wife and son During our stay we lost one of our cellphones. Thanks to Dennis’ help in locating the phone, speaking to the person and providing us with an exact map of where to find him, we were able to retrieve it and enjoy our scheduled tour that day. We strongly recommend Villas Nicolas for a great, pleasant and relaxed vacation!

A perfect place to enjoy the incredible diverse wildlife that surrounds Manuel Antonio National Park! Perfectly located over the hill overlooking the beaches and the park. There are plenty of eating options around the hotel, as well as activities like bird watching, canopying and wildlife spotting. The cabins overlook a lush jungle and if you wake up early, you will enjoy the troops of squirrel monkeys passing by. You can also see plenty of howler and capuchin monkeys on the surrounding areas. The garden and the swimming pool areas are lush and home to many birds like ara macaos and toucanoes. Service is really good, rooms are clean and in great conditions. I really enjoyed my stay at Villas Nicolas and looking forward to visiting this beautiful place again.

We had a wonderful stay at Villas Nicolas. The property is conveniently located on the Main Street and close to restaurants. Our room was very nice and had a lovely view of both the jungle and sea. We were able to see monkeys and birds in the morning and it was truly magical. The Breakfast is delicious and the general layout and landscaping of the property makes you think you’re in an oasis. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful garden and private quiet room with large balcony although simple breakfast and lack of on-site restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic place for independent travelers who want a low key experience in Manuel Antonio. Amazing views, wildlife with spacious balconies to take it all in. Loved it. Thanks to Dennis and the rest of the staff for a great visit! We’ll be back!

Fantastic stay, absolutely beautiful place, very friendly staff. Best bartender in the area, cheers!

Dennis is a very good manager, always polite and respectful to guests. Complimentary breakfast was good, and if not enough, a lot of restaurants walking distance to find. The nature was amazing, a lot of monkeys and we met the sloth at property to see first time so close. A pair of parrots live there as well. Swimming pool surrounded by bushes and beautiful trees was always clean and relaxing. Air conditioner worked perfect and the room looked like a cousy house- built one. We enjoyed the view of the ocean every sunset and sunrise.

Nice place

The property was nice and clean and staff were very friendly. Both receptions were very friendly and helpful specially Dennis who is a very warm and nice receptionist and helped us a lot for our local needs and questions. Miss Sheryl Livingston, the manager was also super kind and helpful in giving us any info we needed about the properties and the local affairs of the resort. We will recommend your place to any friend or family member who want to visit Costa Rica. Keep up the good work and thank you again.

The grounds of the property are beautiful, loaded with plants and flowers and the pool is serene, well-kept and lovely to swim in. There were 2 couples in our group and we stayed in different rooms. Their room was very spacious and comfortable, adjacent to the jungle and they watched sloths and monkeys up close. Our room was significantly smaller but we paid $30/night less for it and our view was a knockout. I would have liked a little more space in our room but otherwise it was just fine. Both rooms had fans and heat pumps for A/C. Denis was great - friendly, helpful and funny - and Estrella the dog was a sweet little girl. I’m missing the place as I write this…

Stayed in unit #12. Lovely unit with kitchenette and amazing deck. Loved waking up and listening to the howler monkeys and birds. One day we had a sloth neighbor hanging out in the tree next door. Dennys was the property manager and was so helpful. The only downside is that walking around that area is a little dicey because of the lack of consistent sidewalks. Would definitely stay again.

This property has steep steps , not suitable for older people or with lots of luggages. The unit was clean.
