Reviews of Hotel Villas Nicolas - Adults Only

This place checks all the boxes, and the view from the deck was exactly like the pictures. The staff was great and set up a masseuse appt and booked 3 tours for me. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything to cook meals. Just add the food. The bedroom was raised up a couple of steps from the open living room/kitchen area, which was nice.

The gardens were so beautiful. Like a hidden oasis. And the view from the balcony! Incredible. Sitting watching g the macaws and toucans fly by - just magic!

Nothing :)

We stayed in a partial ocean view suite which was large and had a nice outdoor covered patio with table, hammock and lovely jungle view. There were monkey's who came by every day near our patio. Was very cool to have them so close. There was also a mini kitchen area in the suite with fridge and microwave so you could potentially make your own meals. They have reserved parking for the guests which is very nice as parking is a premium in Manuel Antonio, and the freshly made breakfast daily was also a big bonus. The grounds were nice and manicured with a small pool and area with lounge chairs. The location is good and near several restaurants , markets and a pharmacy all walking distance away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall -Villas Nicolas is a good value, and nice place to stay. I would recommend it.

Manuel Antonio area is situated on a hill with cliffs and Villas Nicolas is perched on a cliff on the main road. Our room was quiet but down several flights of concrete stairs. This was not a real problem for us but if someone had a neurological condition or orthopedic condition affecting hips/lower extremities this could be challenging. The steps are steep. Additionally the room itself had 3 levels in it.

The staff was nice

The photos didn’t reflect the reality. It’s a dark, old room with leakage from the ceiling and rotting facilities.

The size of the room was nice.

I think the room had bed bugs, my partner and I came home with red bites all over our legs. The view shown on the website showed a clear view of the ocean, the view we got was mostly blocked by trees.

Second time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first time. The view from our unit was priceless. Saw tons of wildlife right from and even on our balcony. Thank you Villas Nicolas!

Nothing, it was wonderful!

Wonderful hotel! Dennys was very welcoming and helpful and breakfast was delicious! The pool was lovely, particularly after a hot day at the beach! There is lots of wildlife to be seen - we saw a parrot within minutes of arriving and a whole troop of monkeys with their babies were nearby one afternoon. Room was perfect with lovely AC - definitely appreciated in the heat! Super close to some lovely restaurants and the beaches are all easily accessible either by public transport or taxi/uber.

Nice place. You feel like you are in the jungle. The only minus was the lady in the reception was not so helpful and service minded.

The property is a little oasis of calm. The view is fantastic and we just loved chilling in the pool watching monkeys and birds on the trees all around. The room was perfect, clean and the bed very comfortable. The staff was amazing and Dennis, the host, was truly welcoming and always a pleasure to chat to.

Everything was perfect. Only thing I wish I had reserved a room with sea view. The garden view was equally nice but we didn’t have a proper balcony or a hammock. Most sea view rooms looked like they did have a balcony and the view looked incredible.

Beautiful. Quiet.

Really loved our stay here! Perfect location, lovely garden and pool, excellent breakfast.

Everything, it was magic!

The staff! They were all so friendly and kind. They really went out of their way to help make sure my mother and aunt (both in their 70's) were taken care of, especially Dennis. The breakfast and housekeeping staff were wonderful too. Our room was huge and I don't think there are any bad views. Easy walking distance to several restaurants and grocery store. Bus is also easy to catch to take to the beach or Quepos.

Construction noise from the property next door. But not like anything can be done about that 🫤

Beautiful gardens around private rooms with wonderful views and a lovely swimming pool. The location was good and Paula on reception was very friendly and helpful. Toucans and macaws visible from the balcony.

The breakfast was disappointing for the price we paid, the same every day. There wasn't even a glass of orange juice. This was the most expensive place we stayed in but the worst breakfast The coffee was disappointing, just filtered with not a great flavour. Surely in Costa Rica they could do better.

Denis the receptionist was very helpful and a very nice person. Room was spacious and clean. We had a view of the jungle. Lot's of birds and monkeys in the area. Good breakfast by the pool area.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Villas Nicolas. This hotel gives a warm, welcoming, and "mom-and-pop" (small operation) feeling. During our two nights there, we were blessed with a sloth right outside our balcony. The greenery around the property really transports us to nature. Great location, walkable to many restaurants and bars — Dennys was really helpful in providing local recommendations too.
