If ever there was a place that felt like home, Villas Nicolas was that for us. From the moment we arrived on March 8th, Dennys & Cheryl made us feel welcomed and like family. The staff are wonderful & friendly, (Hi Paula & security guard whose name escapes me at the moment 👋) and the property, a safe, beautiful and tropical oasis overlooking the ocean. Our villa (#1 up) had the most spectacular view with daily visits of various monkey species from funny little Titi's who were captivating and would visit and give us a show, and more serious, calculating Capuchins and of course the Howlers who you hear before seeing. The birds like Toucans would visit in the trees directly in front of our terrace, and of course Scarlett Macaws flying by and nesting in hollow Palm tree trunks directly on the property. Of course we can't forget the numerous Gecko's, Anoles and Iguanas. It is an animal lovers paradise. Cheryl's 2 dogs, Noella and Stella, and her cat Arlo helped with me missing mine at home. My husband Craig and I loved our stay here, we met some wonderful people and highly recommend it. We look forward to returning. Pura Vida! ❤️🤙
