Located in Manuel Antonio, offering an outdoor pool, tropical garden and a restaurant for breakfast only, Hotel Villas Nicolas - Adults Only offers self-catering accommodation in Manuel Antonio. Free WiFi access is available.

We had a wonderful time at the hotel Villas Nicolas. Very nice breakfast on the side of the swimming pool with fruits and 2 choices of menus: Gallo Pinto or pancakes. Our host Dennis was vey helpful. He was always very nice and available to give advices. The view on the Pacific ocean from our room was awesome with lots of monkeys coming around to play and eat. There was also a couple of scarlet macaws flying around every day. A sloth was sleeping in one of the trees. I was in heaven! The room had a decent size and very clean , bed comfortable but the "hit" was the pateo, furnished with table and chairs + a long couch + the hammock. Very comfy and relaxing! There is a convenient private parking in front of the hotel if you travel by car. The hotel helped us to book activities. A BIG THANK YOU to Dennis and his team.

    I loved the privacy of staying in the townhouse section. Our view was unbelievable, and the room was very interesting in its design. Modern lines and floating stairs. Floor to ceiling sliding doors that would allow you to wake up and go to sleep in awe. The shower and water pressure were amazing! The butlers that we had were the best👌 so helpful and really took interest in our happiness.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Mango Moon! The setting is just beautiful, surrounded by lush rainforest and all its animal inhabitants. Plus there's a great view through to the sea, making for stunning sunsets. We were lucky to stay in the Howler Hangout and were over the (mango) moon about all the critters we saw (and had visit us on our balcony), including monkeys, toucans and even a sloth. The owner's dog Lucky is also lovely to have around the place! We miss it there already!!

    A fantastic small boutique hotel. Very well designed. The room was lovely. The pool area is fantastic. Very good breakfast. Excellent staff. It's very tastefully designed. It's a small hotel so did not feel at all crowded and the staff looked after us extremely well. The Wi-Fi was good and our room was very quiet. Would highly recommend this hotel.

    The attention to detail shown in the room design is excellent. The bed, and all the other furnishings, were super comfortable. We picked a room with an Ocean View and it did not disappoint as the view was amazing and the terrace was huge and could easily fit a number of persons. Lastly, the service was very good as all the staff are very friendly and attentive. Also, the WiFi here was very good as it worked pretty much everywhere on the property.
