Overall Ratings & Reviews Villas Nicolás - Adults Only

I would like to say the staff was amazing! The second we arrived Dennis got us all checked in and even allowed us to check in early since we had an excursion set up. We got checked in and got to see a Macaw! Room was awesome! Animals all over. We saw a sloth from our balcony. Would book again!

Super convenient location, around shops and restaurants. Very friendly. Loved seeing monkeys off of my balcony and the room was very spacious.

Villas Nicolas is beautiful and we were so happy with our stay! The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The breakfast each morning was a lovely , and the grounds and pool were exceptional. The hotel is within walking distance of many restaurants, the beach (20 min), and even Manuel Antonio NP if you're up for a little hike. Public transit runs regularly and is inexpensive to get to around the area. Lovely stay! If were ever back in CS, we'll be back at Villas Nicolas!

Dennys was very nice also the rest of the staff members was very nice looking forward to go back again. Mimi & Peter

We would definitely return

This was a really cool property. We saw more wildlife here (monkeys, toucans, and Macaw) then we did on all of our excursions while in Costa Rica. Awesome porches/patios. Shout out to Paola. She was great. Warm and welcoming and helpful. The only thing lacking, we thought were the shampoo and soaps. Otherwise, very comfortable enjoyable stay.

Ideal location with unforgettable views!

If ever there was a place that felt like home, Villas Nicolas was that for us. From the moment we arrived on March 8th, Dennys & Cheryl made us feel welcomed and like family. The staff are wonderful & friendly, (Hi Paula & security guard whose name escapes me at the moment 👋) and the property, a safe, beautiful and tropical oasis overlooking the ocean. Our villa (#1 up) had the most spectacular view with daily visits of various monkey species from funny little Titi's who were captivating and would visit and give us a show, and more serious, calculating Capuchins and of course the Howlers who you hear before seeing. The birds like Toucans would visit in the trees directly in front of our terrace, and of course Scarlett Macaws flying by and nesting in hollow Palm tree trunks directly on the property. Of course we can't forget the numerous Gecko's, Anoles and Iguanas. It is an animal lovers paradise. Cheryl's 2 dogs, Noella and Stella, and her cat Arlo helped with me missing mine at home. My husband Craig and I loved our stay here, we met some wonderful people and highly recommend it. We look forward to returning. Pura Vida! ❤️🤙

We were very happy with our stay. The property is in a great location near the park and is very private once you get inside. The pool area is great, very tranquil. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A.C was great, had a little coffee maker. Our room did not have a balcony, but had a big window with a view to the ocean and into the jungle. Would recommend without question.

We loved our stay at Villa Nicolas. The grounds were beautiful and our Villa was comfortable and spacious.

fabulous botique--spendy, but worth thte price

This place was amazing and so reasonable. The room was our own little oasis with 1 full wall a screen that could of course be closed as needed. The AC was good and strong. Bed very comfortable. Small kitchenette was perfect. The busses are great here so when we didn't walk to shopping and restaurants (there were plenty!) We hopped on the bus for 85 cents. The grounds of Villa Nicholas were beautiful and well kept. The pool was awesome and felt like a quiet jungle pool. Breakfast was always good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villas Nicolas. Beautiful property, lots of nature and animals around. We appreciated the daily breakfast, and there were many restaurants within walking distance. The staff were kind and helpful, we would recommend staying here to friends and family.

Perfect location - plenty of restaurants (notably Emilio's, El Avion and Claro Que Si), bars and shops within very easy walking distance; you could also walk to the Manuel Antonio Park entrance and beaches if you wanted to (we had a rental car so chose to drive the short distance). Grounds and pool area are gorgeous and serene, with beautiful mature trees and flowering plants providing a sense of privacy. Pool area was very clean. The highlight of our upstairs room was the huge private saltillo tile patio with plenty of outdoor seating, a hammock, and wooden shutters. The sweeping view of the ocean at the bottom of the hill was spectacular. Monkeys ran over the patio railings and played in the trees every day and were literally close enough to touch. There were also a pair of scarlet macaws nesting in a nearby tree that we could watch from the patio. Reception and service were great. Daily cooked-to-order breakfast was included. No issues with overcrowding at the parking lot or pool. As for activities, we took a guided tour of Manuel Antonio and then swam at the stunning beach inside the park until closing time. We also drove to Marino Ballena National Park (the "whale tail" natural formation where you can see humpback whales in season) and took a sunset snorkel cruise from Marina Pez Vela in Quepos. Overall, this is a beautiful, relaxing and friendly place that we would definitely visit again.

Can’t say enough about this property. The staff, the pool, the room, the view. were all wonderful. A pair of nesting macaws outside our door was the cherry on top.

Unbelievably beautiful! Monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, sunset views from our balcony. Just amazing place

I stayed at Villas Nicolas for a week so these are my observations. Pros: -Quiet and adults only -Location right on the main road -Large units with balcony and kitchen -Possibility to see wildlife like monkeys sloth and macaws from balcony Cons: -I paid for a ocean view but it isn't as depicted online. Its a partial view with most of it obscure by the forest. -Comes with a kitchen but no tea or coffee provided -Unit is very dated and in need of a reno. Our door lock knob didn't even lock unless the key was used to lock and unlock. -I understand we are in the forest but the unit is full of insects, bathroom and kitchen had tons and found some on the bed as well. -Breakfast is basic with 2 options only. Rice, eggs and fruits or 2 small pancakes. -Booked a queen bed but got 2 double beds. Bed was loud and wood frame made a lot of noise

We enjoyed our stay very much. Dennys and the other lady in the office are very friendly and helpful. We would definately stay there again.

Great place, very friendly staff. Clean and well located near plenty of restaurants and bars. Nice small pool. You feel like you are in the jungle with wildlife, it’s great. Place feels safe. A bit more variety with included breakfast would be nice. If you get room 5 or 5L be ready to walk up and down a few stairs.

We liked this hidden gem of a property. It was easy and the property was beautifully laid out with plenty of landscaping and wildlife in and around it. Staff was warm, friendly and welcoming. Had plenty of privacy, and centrally located. Rooms were cozy along with covered and open porches overlooking the Ocean. Beautiful view!!!! We would have liked to have had at least a microwave in the room to couple with the coffee maker and fridge. Also, we would have liked the porch door to have had a lock on the door as well, not just the room. We had the free breakfast and it was excellent, but was surprised we had to pay extra for a few slices of bacon to go with it. Im not sure, but they said the bar area might be open sometimes but we never seen it open, would have like to had a drink bedside the beautiful pool they had. Overall, we would definitely come back to this place in the future, Thankyou for letting us stay and check your place out!
