Villas Nicolas

Refreshingly unique, each of the 12 villas (available in combinations of one or two bedroom suites) offer a distinct personality with tasteful furnishings, spacious open-plan architecture, modern amenities, large balconies and ocean-view hammocks to sit back and drink in the tropical surroundings. All of our rooms are equipped with air conditioners as well as ceiling fans for those who prefer to take advantage of the ocean breezes that our mountainside location affords.

Villas Nicolas is not a resort. It is a small privately owned condominium hotel designed for the more independent traveler who prefers “small & unique” to larger more “formula” type vacation properties. It caters to those looking for a special little gem that offers great value at an affordable price.
