The breakfast was served at an open air bar near the pool. You had two choices, standard Costa Rica breakfast or pancakes. Both were served with delicious fresh fruit. The service was great. The hotel is fairly small, has a beautiful view and lots of wildlife on site. Tgere was a macaw nest right outside our patio.

Room was standard size and non-descript, and balcony was huge with view of the Pacific Ocean. However the hotel is right on the main road that runs through Manuel Antonio and can be quite noisy from the traffic. Also other apartments are close by so voices carry over long distances. But the pool side is very nice, an afternoon spent there if you have spare time would be worth it, though bear in mind the bar is cash-only.

Warm and welcoming greeting from Dennis set the tone. Rooms were very private with great views. Not a lot of amenities on-site, but that's what we wanted. Location is ideal and walkable to everything. If you're looking for a quiet retreat where you can park the car and park yourself to enjoy the best of Quepos, Villas Nicolas is a great option.

We had a wonderful stay at this villa. The location was perfect, just steps from public transportation and close to great eating spots. We even spotted monkeys and sloths right from our balcony! The villa was clean with a cozy rainforest feel and breakfast was delicious each morning. Denis, the property manager was incredibly friendly and helpful. We also loved the cats and dogs on the property. Highly recommend!

I stayed at Villas Nicolás in Manuel Antonio for four nights and had a great experience. I really appreciated the warm and attentive service from Dennis, the hotel manager, and Paola at the front desk. The woman who works the breakfast service and the man who cooks were also incredibly kind and welcoming — everyone made my stay feel special. The location is fantastic: just a short drive to the beach with plenty of good restaurants nearby. My balcony had beautiful views, and I loved seeing monkeys and macaws visit every morning. The hotel itself could benefit from a renovation, but overall it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty, and I genuinely enjoyed my time here. I would definitely consider staying again.

Very nice villas, we got the king bed with ocean view. The room was very clean, large balcony with hamac, kitchenette if you want to cook, and living room area. It took about 35 min to walk down to the beach, but you can also take the bus or Uber if you prefer. Area is not very walkable, there's not always a sidewalk, but if you're careful for cars it was fine to walk around to go to the beach or restaurants

Lovely self-contained apartments. Dennys and his team were very friendly, helpful and approachable. We had booked a superior villa, but on arrival we were informed that that room was not available due to essential maintenance, so were given two villas, which suited us and our adult daughter better, giving us all more space to relax. Each villa had a great balcony with comfortable seating and a hammock, great for chilling out at the end of the day. The villas have a great sea view with lovely well tended gardens. We are visited by capachins, squirrel monkeys, and there were even what felt like resident Scarlet Macaws, perching in a dead palm tree by the pool. Sadly no sloths, I guess because of the sound of the maintenance work ongoing (as we stayed before peak season). The pool was very clean and nice to have a gentle swim after a long day sightseeing. The breakfast was basic, but very tasty and prepared fresh for you each morning. We had a very relaxing stay, and would highly recommend Villas Nicolas. Thank you Dennys and team xx

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!

We stayed at Hotel Nicolás and had one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had. Breakfast was advertised as a “typical Tico breakfast” (gallo pinto, eggs, cheese, natilla, fruit, plantains, tortillas). In reality, it was just gallo pinto, eggs, tortillas, and fruit—we had to supplement daily. Their salt and pepper shakers even had spiders inside. The man at check-in reeks of smoke, acts polite, but provides zero customer service. Guests aren’t allowed to use the pool unless staying overnight. I asked to pay a fee or add my friend to our room (capacity is 3, we were only 2) but was told it’s “impossible” to adjust reservations after booking. Rooms don’t match the website photos—quality varies wildly. Our first had broken rock-hard beds and a broken AC. We were moved, and though the new room had AC, the beds were still miserable. Towels are rationed: pool towels only 9–5, no using room towels or taking them to the beach, or you’re fined. The owner’s dogs bark, growl, and jump on guests. A late checkout wasn’t allowed, even though the hotel was nearly empty. Sleeping in past 5am is impossible because most windows have no curtains or just see-through fabric. To top it off, I left two small night lights and returned the next day—suddenly they’d “never seen them.” Thieves. I’ve stayed at five properties in Manuel Antonio and never once been disappointed—until now. This place is dishonest, uncomfortable, and hostile to guests. Do yourself a favor: avoid at all costs.

Villas Nicolas was absolutely amazing! The staff were super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was so nice to stay at an adults only place! I think the property has only 12 rooms so it feels intimate. Therefore, it's quiet without tons of people. We swam in the pool every day. Breakfast is included. If I would visit Manuel Antonio again, I would without a doubt stay here again. 10/10!!!
