Unfortunately the rooms are outdated and we found there is way too many rules that makes the stay not so welcoming (not something I’ve experienced before). For example, no taking the towels to the beach, a list of rules to sign on arrival, sunbeds screwed into the floor so you can’t move them, even rules in the bathroom. There is also only 2 options at breakfast, again the menu comes with rules (no options to change any ingredients…)
Highlights included:
- Gorgeous crystal clear pool, surrounded by trees where monkeys and birds often played
- Really nice poolside happy hour is offered as well, with an excellent bartender
- We had an ocean view suite and watched an incredible thunder storm over the water from our hammock and fell asleep to the sounds of waves each night
- A hearty breakfast is included
- Nice cold AC for wimpy Pacific Northwesterners
- Dennys helped us coordinate a great tour of the national park
- Easy walk to lots of good restaurants and shops
If you have the chance to stay here, do it! Great value for the price -- exceeded our expectations.
The room looks dated, and wasn’t cleaned properly when we arrived, and have some distinct smell to it. We complaint, and they sent someone to re cleaned the room. You will get lockable cabinet inside the room for your valuable, but they will charge you if you want to use the room safe. Breakfast menu is very limited, and the portion is small.
If you draw a straight line from the hotel to the beach “on the map” the distance is roughly 3000 ft, but we need to follow the road path, so the distance realistically around 1.5 miles of slope road. I believe this hotel as a whole is overrated. For the same price they charge, they have many other hotels in the area that will give you a better value for your money.
Update: Of course, the owner claimed I'm confused with other property. but it is what it is.
Having said all that, the hotel ticks lots of other boxes. The staff were really welcoming and helpful. The grounds are stunning; the pool area is exactly what you see in the photos. The wildlife was great. We saw lots of birds from our room.
We also booked an ocean view room, which I'd definitely recommend as you get a fantastic view over the bay. And you can enjoy your view from a massive balcony/terrace. In fact, the balconies are so big they are almost surplus to requirements for two people.
The location is very good. Manuel Antonio doesn't really have a "down town" or strip as everything is spread out up a steep hill. But the hotel is close to lots of the top rated restaurants and bars in the area. It is a little distance down to the beach and National Park. But there are public buses that run regularly and the bus stop is just down the road.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend a stay at Villas Nicholas, especially if you are just stopping in Manuel Antonio for a few nights.
Amazing staff, always kind and thoughtful. Breakfast super delicious, fresh fruits everyday.
Great location, walk distance from the best restaurants in town.
The only things I would say is that there’s no one at night time in the reception and also they don’t clean your room every day unless you ask for. I would say for the price it should be included but if there’s no issues bc you can ask everyday, no limits on that.
La piscine est très agréable, au milieu d'une belle végétation.
Equipe très sympa. On ne voulait plus partir !!!!
pour famille ou groupe de potes c'est un tres bon plan
