Villas Nicolas

Villas Nicolas, above the Pacific on the road to Manuel Antonio

Villas Nicolas sits on the main road of Manuel Antonio, on the hillside overlooking the Pacific. The rooms are set among tropical gardens, and from the balconies you look either into the jungle or out over the sea.

It suits couples and families who want a quiet hillside base with a view, about a 15 minute walk downhill to the national park and the beaches, or a 5 minute bus ride.

Why we choose it

• Suites that face the sea. The Ocean View Suite and the Large Suite both look out to the Pacific, which is what most guests come up the hill for.
• Easy to the park. The park and the beaches are a 15 minute walk downhill or a 5 minute bus ride, so you can leave the car behind.
• Balconies made for hammocks. Large balconies with a hammock turn the late afternoon into the hour most guests look forward to.

Rooms and views

There are three kinds of room. The Double Room with a balcony looks into the jungle. The Ocean View Suite faces the sea, and the Large Suite adds more space and a balcony with the sea in front of it.

If the view matters to you, ask for one of the suites, and we will check which are open for your dates.

On the property

The pool sits among colourful tropical gardens, a peaceful place to spend the hot middle of the day. From the balconies you can often spot monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans and scarlet macaws, all of which live in and around the national park below.
