My room had a balcony with hammock and view of the jungle. I had visits by macaws, toucans and a monkey, which was incredible. It was the perfect place to relax and watch the jungle life, with close access to good restaurants and a small grocery store. I will definitely stay here again

The views! We saw monkeys, lapas.. we didn't want to leave our deck!! Howler monkeys woke us up at 4am. We'd just sit on the deck and listen to them!! Two different monkeys came through the grounds!

nothing. It was perfect!

This place was amazing! Paula and Dennis were super helpful before and during the trip. The place was beautiful and perfect for my husband and I to enjoy my Birthday and our Anniversary. The rest of the staff was great as well. Wonderful location to local restaurants and a short bus ride to Manuel Antonio National Park and beach. The room was perfect and comfortable. We really enjoyed the patio with the view and being able to hear and see the monkeys. I highly recommend staying at this location.

Limited choice on breakfast.

Close to great restaurants, great views, beautiful pool, spacious room.

We had to leave, eventually. This isn't about the hotel, but walking on the side of the road was tricky because the sidewalk coverage is spotty. Take the public bus to the beach and back for about 60 cents per ride.

Every evening at around 4pm tens of monkeys would parade across the tree line outside our room and would visit us on the balcony. AND, a pair of macaws lived in a tree next to our room! Spectacular wildlife on the property. Also, Arlo the cat was an excellent maî·tre d'hô·tel.

Stairs going up from our room were a little challenging, but I think worth it for the jungle exposure. Some patio area near the pool is rough on bare feet.

Staff were great, and we liked the breakfasts, pool and grounds. Room location surrounded on 3 sides by the jungle, and we had sloths, monkeys, agoutis, iguanas really close to our deck every day. Easy, frequent buses to the beach.

Nothing I highly recommend this place :)

The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was private and quiet. We were able to see monkeys and lots of birds from the terrace. The breakfast was really good.

The pool bar could be open a bit earlier, but everything was great.

The hotel has beautiful gardens and swimming pool. The room was fantastic with a very comfortable bed, sitting area, small,well equipped kitchen and a terrace with an ocean view which included a table and chairs, sofa and chairs . The location is close to very good restaurants ( walking distance) and the breakfast was good. There is lively artwork throughout the rooms and bar/breakfast/pool area. This is a tranquil, beautiful place which has incredible gardens and nice ocean views.

Nothing really. The breakfast options are a bit limited as others have mentioned.

We wanted a pool, our own kitchen, and to be close to a bus stop and the national park. Villas Nicholas ticked all our requirements. Our apartment was down a lot of steps, and tbh it didn’t look quite as ‘posh’ as some of the photos on booking.com. Nevertheless we were more than happy because it was extremely comfortable and also a long way from the road so there was zero traffic noise. Sitting on the terrace surrounded by jungle plants and with a distant sea view was idyllic. Howler and white faced monkeys passed by there regularly every day, we watched hummingbirds feeding, and we saw a sloth close up, right outside in the street one evening. There is a pair of scarlet macaws hanging out in a dead tree stump, right by the reception! Very pleasant and friendly staff, and a small pool for relaxing. Shops and restaurants walking distance. Fifteen minutes down the hill by bus to Manuel Antonio NP.

Thank you Dennis and team for an amazing stay. A beautiful, peaceful, and private oasis that is so well integrated into the natural environment. Easy access to all amenities. Perfect for couples / friends looking for a quiet escape. Amazing pool and outdoor lounge area. Great views from upper villas. Howler and squirrel monkeys playing in the trees morning and night, the resident scarlet macaws and abundance of birds and wildlife that call this place home - amazing!!!

Bed was quite small for 2 people and our toilet was a bit dodgy

Really friendly staff and beautiful location and view from our terrace. Very nice pool.

Can’t think of anything. Well there are stairs to some rooms so if this is an issue for you maybe check with them.

The view was incredible on our balcony. Monkeys on our porch and swinging in trees and water in the distance. Staff so nice. Breakfast great. I will definitely come back. Walk to great restaurants. Took public bus to beach. Taxi home. Guides know where it is to pick you up. The monkeys and toucans were fabulous. Oh and the pool. No kids is nice.

The jungle ambiance was so beautiful. Enjoyed getting the day started with a light patio breakfast around the pool and being able to witness sloths and macaws and monkeys.
