Oasis 3 Jungle Studio/Apartment - Apartments for Rent in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica , Costa Rica

We loved our stay in the Oasis! The Villas Nicolas workers were extremely friendly and welcoming, Dennys always checked in on us and gave us great recommendations for food and activities! The room was exactly as described, clean, and looked right into the jungle. We saw monkeys from our back porch and the hotel entrance, scarlet macaws, and toucans from the pool! I would stay here 1,000x more!!  It felt like its own little private paradise.

We enjoyed our stay, especially the terrace overlooking the greenery and the monkeys that appear from time to time. The pool right next door is like a little paradise, and the receptionist was very kind to us; she did us a favor that we appreciated. We would love to go back. 🤗🪴😎

Nous avons apprécié notre séjour surtout la terrasse vue sur la végétation et les singes qui apparaît de temps en temps la piscine juste à côté c’est comme un petit paradis et la réceptionniste a été très gentille avec nous, elle nous as rendu service qui a été apprécié, ont aimerait bien y retourner 🤗🪴😎

This is such a lovely place – looks just like the pictures, with a lovely terrace (where you can see the monkeys) and with access to the pool! Very walkable, and Sheryl the host replied quickly to my questions.

The Airbnb apartments are right next to the hotel "Villa Nicolas" where the beautiful pool is located, which you can use. From the lounger you could see parrots flying daily and from time to time also monkeys in the tree. To the beach (or national park), the public bus runs for about 390 colones or you can walk 20-30 minutes downhill. Super close to supermarkets and restaurants. We received all the information directly after booking by message and also again personally at the reception. Loved it!

Die Airbnb Wohnungrn liegen direkt neben dem Hotel "Villa Nicolas" wo sich der wunderschöne Pool befindet, den man mit benutzen darf. Von der Liege aus konnte man täglich Papagein fliegen sehen und ab und zu auch Affen im Baum. Zum Strand (oder Nationalpark) fährt der öffentliche Bus für ca 390 Colones oder man läuft 20-30min bergab. Super nah zu Supermärkten und Restaurants. Alle Infos haben wir Direkt nach Buchung per Nachricht bekommen und auch nochmal persönlich an der Rezeption. Es hat uns sehr gefallen!

Prime location in Manuel Antonio. This bungalow gives you full access to the hotel next door which has a phenomenal pool that we used. Monkeys and scarlet macaws came right to our patio. This location is in the heart of MA with all the best restaurants within a 5 minute walk. The room has all the necessary items you need. It’s nothing fancy but you just need a clean room to rest and that’s what this is. We felt very safe and had a parking spot. Our favorite restaurants were Le Pappilon, Cafe Milagro, Emilio’s Cafe, and Claro Que Si. Most have live music nightly from 7-9pm.

We felt very comfortable in the accommodation. At night you have to expect some noise, but it is a great location to reach the city completely on foot 😊 also the beach is a 5-minute bus ride

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in der Unterkunft. Nachts muss man mit etwas Lärm rechnen aber dafür ist es eine super Lage um die Stadt komplett zufuß zu erreichen 😊 auch der Strand ist mit dem Bus in 5 Minuten zu erreichen

Wonderful location the pool area was exceptional and loved seeing the monkeys , sloth and birds from the units balcony and pool area.Staff of villas Nicholas were very helpful and friendly.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for about a week, and almost everything was perfect. This place could not be in a better location, its walking distance to countless delicious restaurants and multiple beautiful free beaches. Being able to use the pool was such an added bonus as well, after a long day of doing some excursions or being at the beach the pool was perfect for relaxing with a beautiful view. The man at the front desk was so nice and friendly to us and brightened our day every time we saw him. Now unfortunately we had some issues with some bugs. We communicated to the host and they sent someone to clean our place each time but we kept finding them. Now again, it is in the middle of the jungle so this is to be expected but there was definitely a few more than we would have liked.  Overall though, we are glad we stayed here and we loved Costa Rica!

The property is, as described, right on the main road, which means you can quickly reach the beach by bus and walk to various restaurants and the supermarket, which is great. However, the accommodation is also quite loud (you can hear the busy road extremely) and does not correspond to the pictures on the site. Apart from the small size and the lack of brightness, even some furniture did not match the photos, which was a shame. In addition, we had to deal with an ant infestation and a lack of cleanliness. That's why I would only give the place 3 out of 5 stars. If only because the photos don't match the reality and it's always very dark in the room and you're forced to always turn on the light, no matter what time it is. Communication with the landlady was very nice and the staff at the front desk as well as the security guard helped us with problems.

Die Unterkunft befindet sich, wie beschrieben, direkt an der Hauptstraße, wodurch man mit dem Bus schnell zum Strand und fußläufig zu diversen Restaurants und dem Supermarkt kommt, was super ist. Allerdings ist die Unterkunft auch recht hellhörig (man hört die viel befahrene Straße extrem) und entspricht nicht den Bildern auf der Seite. Abgesehen von der kleinen Größe und der fehlenden Helligkeit entsprachen selbst einige Möbel nicht den Fotos, welches schade war. Darüber hinaus hatten wir mit einer Ameisenplage und fehlender Sauberkeit zu kämpfen. Deswegen würde ich der Unterkunft nur 3 von 5 Sternen geben. Schon alleine, weil die Fotos nicht der Wahrheit entsprechen und es immer sehr dunkel im Raum und man gezwungen ist, immer das Licht einzuschalten, egal zur welchen Uhrzeit. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr nett und auch das Personal an der Rezeption sowie der Wachmann haben uns bei Problemen geholfen.

Too many bugs! I understand there may be a few but there was a full large ant infestation as well as large and small cockroaches and large spiders. They had to spray the room twice, which helped but I never could sleep well after that. I had a big cockroach fall on me while I was in bed. The traffic noise and guests upstairs can be loud so recommend earplugs. It wasn’t the cleanest and a dirty used sponge was left for me to use for dishes. The dining table in the pictures is not there but they have a big orange loveseat that has seen better days. I would have liked the table instead as you cannot eat outdoors in the evening due to ants. Stained bed cover… The things I liked were the staff at the hotel, they were super nice and helpful. Access to the pool was amazing! It is a beautiful area and the pool was really clean and perfect temperature. Monkeys in the trees by the patio were fun to watch. Think staying at the hotel would have been a better experience.

We stayed here for 8 nights and really loved it. Staff where wonderful and very welcoming. Location fantastic with restaurants and shops on the doorstep. The only down side is there there is no view from the balcony - plenty of wildlife, beautiful plants, monkeys, birds etc. The other balconies have a bit more of a view, which ordinarily it wouldn't be an issue but it rained for a few of the days we stayed and it would have been nice to sit and look at the view. We had use of the beautiful pool and spotted so many birds while swimming!

Terrific AirBnb units right next to the lovely Villas Nicolas on the main road leading to Manuel Antonio National Park and beaches. Small but well appointed split level studios with 4 burner stove top and oven (larger unit) and 2 burner hotplate (smaller unit), full size fridge, comfortable beds and pillows, and nice forest -facing patio visited by monkeys, birds, and other wildlife. Includes access to the Villas Nicolas pool and afternoon bar, where monkeys and Scarlett macaws visit daily (there was also a momma sloth and new baby on the grounds while we were there 🤗). Housekeeping is listed as an added benefit, but sometimes required a request to service (a requirement in an area where any trash attracts ants and other critters). Dennys and Paula were also super helpful in arranging for any tours or transportation that we needed help with. The only downside was road nose at night All in all a great budget option in otherwise expensive Manuel Antonio - highly recommend!

Loved the stay in an incredible Airbnb with wildlife on the doorstep and access to a great pool and bar! Lots of restaurants a few minutes walk away and easy access to the beach. Would return!

This place was more magical than words can explain. The location is perfect if you love great restaurants decent proximity of the beach, being surrounded by a jungle with an amazing pool. I saw more animals visit my balcony than I did visiting the national park that’s only 6 mins away by car. 100% recommend and digital nomad friendly, the WiFi and AC worked well.

This place was perfect for us and we felt very lucky to have stayed there. Lots of wildlife, excellent pool, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and walkable to most things around. Bus is convenient and will take you further if desired. Definitely recommend. 10/10

Absolutely hands down the worst experience I have ever had. Mistreated and endangered by the management at this location. There are so many great options in this area. To choose this location is to ask for a terrible vacation full of harassment. Management could not be worse.

Great location with beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful time at Sheryl’s place. Denis and the staff of the hotel next door were very helpful with any questions we had. It was super nice to have access to the pool. Also we liked that the beach was close.

Great place, convinient location. Everyone is super friendly!! Highly recommend this place! Rooms are very cosy and spaceous, located privately. But you still can hear the road. Consider this if you're sensitive to noise.

Had a great stay at Sheryl's for a week while visiting Manuel Antonio. Would highly recommend and hope to go back and stay at her beautiful oasis again some time. Only a couple of things could have made for a more comfortable stay: -would be nice to have faceclothes in the bathroom -a spare set of keys for gate and apartment -a working television would have been nice on the days we just wanted to relax. Pool area was phenomenal! Soo relaxing!! Having coffee with the monkeys will be a memory we won't soon forget! Thank you Sheryl Pura Vida

We really enjoyed staying at Sheryl’s accommodations. The suite was perfect for two people, and the location could not have been better. This is about the best place to be in Manual Antonio. It isn’t the most modern or renovated room if you are looking for a resort feel, but it was clean and comfortable and an excellent value for the money. The associated Villas Nicolas has an extremely friendly and helpful staff and a really nice pool area. We say sloths, monkeys, and macaws on the property. Wish I was back there right now!

Stayed at Villas Nicholas a few times in the hotel and it’s wonderful but the air bnb units are not the same quality

Great place to stay in Manuel Antonio. Everything is close to the apartment, pharmacy, supermarkets, the beach down the hill. Great view and surrounding by nature and wildlife.

The best feature here is the sloth who makes his home high in the canopy above the private patio. Scarlet macaws, other birds and monkeys provide endless entertainment. The grounds keeper works tirelessly to maintain a manicured property. The pool and patio, and public restrooms are immaculate. The maid service is cheerful, and thorough. Bring ear plugs to block the noise of traffic, and the sounds from guests in adjacent units.

This AirBnB is wonderful!! The location was amazing, very central to restaurants and shops as well as a short distance to the beach, Manuel Antonio National Park, and Quepos. The pool area was beautiful. We got to see so much wildlife in the villa area, from 3 different types of monkeys, to macaws, to tons of lizards. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The suite is darker/ less well lit than the photos show, but we spent most of our time outdoors anyway. We would happily stay here again :) It’s a great place for people travelling on a bit of a budget who still want a lovely villa experience.

Very small, perfect for a short stay.. don’t expect a view,  or TV,   Not much of either…close to   Bus for beach or town…great  location!

Great location and visit from the monkeys every day. Smoking is not allowed on the balcony, so we always had to go to the street. Super accommodation.

Tolle Lage und jeden Tag besuch von den Affen.Rauchen ist auf dem Balkon nicht erlaubt,mussten daher immer auf die Strasse.Super Unterkunft.

I am very lucky I managed to book this property at quite short notice considering this listing is usually booked up quickly. I jumped at the chance and was not disappointed. We arrived quite late in the evening at about 21:30. This is after reception hours but the night guard had obviously been informed and let us in to the place. This process was problem free. We had arrived in a private booked taxi from San Jose airport and drove to the property the same day. It took about 3 hours and was easily located by the driver. The place is a good size for 2 people and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was equipped with what you needed to cook your own meals and included a good size fridge/freezer. Perfect for storing beers! The property also has a sheltered outside deck area which backs on to the forest. This feature alone is enough to make this place worth booking. We made the most of it in the mornings for breakfast and evenings and saw so much wildlife. It was incredible. The property is located on the main road in and out of manuel antonio on top of the hill. The views from the area are stunning overlooking the ocean and forests. There are a number of varied restaurants and shops near by. Some offering great sunset views and live music. The beaches are accessible by foot and takes about 20 mins. But be aware you got to walk down steep and quite dangerous roads as there are no pavements. Failing that, there are plenty of taxis and busses which can get you to the beaches in 5 mins. You will have access to hotel (villas nicolas ) pool which is another great feature to this listing. We spent a few afternoons by the pool and again were blown away by the amount of wildlife around it. Hummingbirds, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and macaws to name a few! The location of the property is perfect for being able to access the main sights of manuel antonio by foot including the national park (as long as you don't mind walking up and down hills!) And has excellent bus links to nearby towns and attractions. You can even get a trocopa bus to and from San Jose and everywhere in between just outside of the property. I recommend this option if you are the budget type traveller like myself. It can save you lots of money. The hotel also offers a few services such as laundry, breakfast and airport transfer (all at extra costs) and can help out with any other requests. Room cleaning is included which I thought was a nice touch considering this was an airbnb. The hotel can book many different trips & activities all using local tour providers. We decided to book this way and it was super easy and straight forward. We told reception the dates we wanted and within hours Sheryl was back with all the info and pick up times. Overall this property is super value for Money and has all the right things for a memorable and comfortable stay. The only small thing I could pick at is the listing photos need updating as it looks like older photos used, however I think the way it is now is even better than the photos shown. So still a win! Sheryl was a great host and communication was prompt and problem free. I would highly recommend :)

A very nice apartment with jungle feel. We saw monkeys and sloths from the balcony and pool access was also great!

This is a great location, very handy to local buses and beaches. The accomadation was comfortable and good value.

I had a great stay and would highly recommend this Airbnb. Great location. Great staff. Nice pool and a great sitting area at the front of the Airbnb for relaxation and monkey spotting !

Looked exactly like it did in the pictures, the best part about the stay was the terrace and all the animals we could see during the early morning hours. Three of four monkey kinds in the country; Howler, Capuchin and Squirrel. A sloth seemed to be living right in front of the terrace. As well as all kinds of birds. Truly an amazing experience. Pool’s nice but sort of difficult to sun tan, the shade moves in on all chairs like a domino. Still great temperature in the water. Lots of restaurants around and only about 15 min walk to the main beach. But I’d really recommend exploring the other ones around as well, very doable on foot.

Great location! Smooth check-in! Would recommend.

Excellent location, we were also close to everyone. If you don't drive, just walk 100 meters and ready, you'll get to the stop. In the garden we were able of all kinds of animals. excellent place

Excelente ubicación estábamos cerca de todos además que si no andas en vehículo solo caminar 100 metros y listo ya llegas a la parada. En el jardín pudimos de todo tipo de animales. excelente lugar

My stay at Sheryl’s was wonderful. This is a little studio that is part of the hotel next door with access to the pool. The patio was the best thing about this place. Felt like living in the jungle with daily monkey visitors all sorts of different little birds. Internet was fairly good, which was important for me as I was working during my stay. Location was good with close proximity to the bus station to get you to the beach within 5min. I would stay there again.

No dishwasher. No shampoo or conditioner. Nice people. Dangerous road to the beach. Not verify good location.

Is a nice place, good location, quiet place.

Es un lugar agradable, buena ubicación, sitio tranquilo.

Nice clean apt. In a great location. No ocean view but instead there is jungle off the back deck. A resident sloth, troupes of monkeys everyday, toucans, butterflies, hummingbirds, etc. Since we were self isolating during the 2nd week there, the animals and flowers helped a lot. Because we stopped going to restaurants the little kitchen was good for cooking. Some of the best restaurants are very close otherwise. 15 walk down to the main beach and the park. The bus is very reliable also. The 'secret' Biesanz Beach is also only a 15 minute walk. The pool at Villa Nicolas is available for use by the air bnb. A nice little oasis.

The room is an amazing value for the location, amenities and space. This was perfect for my boyfriend and I to have an adventurous, relaxing getaway. Would highly recommend this space to all future travelers!

Great studio very convenient to national park beaches and restaurants. Lovely to have the use of the pool.

This place is perfect. The noise from the main road didn’t bother us at all, and being located on the main road allowed us to walk just minutes to tons of bars, restaurants and stores - even the beach!! The pool is amazing, and the staff did a great job answering questions and making us feel safe. Pura Vida!

The location is  awesome...close to some amazing restaurants, bus stop, beaches.  Absolutely loved our patio.  Watched some squirrel monkeys, a sloth and some howlers.  A great place to enjoy your morning coffee.  The pool and jacuzzi are sparkling clean and so refreshing.  The Oasis 3 could use some updating but for the price it was great.

Location is amazing! The pool at the villas is a good addition and it's nice! You can go to Quepos or Manuel Antonio beach quite easily. We saw monkeys outside on our deck... The deck was my favourite part.

We really liked it, the staff are very nice and helpful

Nos gustó mucho, el personal es muy amable y atento

Great location with wildlife just a few steps away! We enjoyed monkeys playing around up in the trees during breakfast. The local tips are very valuable, supermarket, atm and restaurants  are on walking distance. The pool is great as wel, nice to be able te take a refreshing dive after a hot day. To the beach is not so far, down it’s an easy walk take the bus back up! Defiantly a location to consider to stay!

Loved my stay at the Villas nicolas! Pretty of everything and super welcoming and warm team

J’ai adoré mon séjour à la Villas nicolas ! Pret de tout et super equipe acceuillante et chaleureuse

Excellent accommodation!! I hope to return soon!

Excelente alojamiento!! Espero pronto regresar!

We really enjoyed our stay. Especially the pool was very nice. The stuff was very friendly and the appartment beautiful. Pura Vida Florian and Jessica

We've had 3 great days. The apartment is spacious, and the air conditioning and kitchen are appreciated. The terrace is very nice for dinner and breakfast. Check-in is very convenient as you simply have to go to the reception of the Hotel Villas Nicolás. Definitely best to be able to access the hotel's pool and gardens, which are wonderful. It's on the main road, so there are supers and dinner spots nearby. You can go down to the beach by walking (about 15 minutes), to go up it is better to take the bus since it is very expensive.

Hemos pasado 3 días geniales. El apartamento es amplio, y se agradece el aire acondicionado y la cocina. La terraza es muy agradable para cenar y desayunar. El check-in es muy cómodo ya que simplemente tienes que ir a la recepción del Hotel Villas Nicolás. Lo mejor sin duda, poder acceder a la piscina y los jardines del hotel, que son una maravilla. Está en la carretera principal, con lo cual hay supers y sitios para cenar cerca. Se puede bajar a la playa andando (unos 15 minutos), para subir es mejor coger el bus ya que es mucha cuesta.

This AirBNB is an extension of the Nicholas Villas hotel next door, on a quite a busy / loud road. Unless you find it at a steal, I'd look for somewhere off of the main Manual Antonio road.

This place was amazing!!! We stayed for 5 days and absolutely loved it. We saw monkeys and macaws from the balcony, the room was spacious and clean with fans and AC to cool down. The pool was impeccable, staff was very friendly and helpful, short walk to restaurants and 15 minute down hill walk to the beach and a short bus ride into town. We would definitely stay here again !

We had a good time staying in this apartment for 3 nights. The apartment looked close to the pictures (a little different furniture now). No complaints! There are 3 apartments in that building that probably belong to the same owners as the fancier hotel next door. You go to the hotel for check-in and for breakfast (excellent, not included). Each apartment has a private patio. The location is convenient, between Quepos and Manuel Antonio with several good restaurants within walking distance.  We would stay there again!

LOCATION is everything! We did not have a car and did not have a problem! Oasis 3 was everything we needed! A cozy place to come home to after full days of beaching or hiking. The entire staff at villa Nicolas deserve a standing ovation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 from our check-in through to our check-out they were nothing short of remarkable! The pool was such a great place to cool off and relax when we were tired of being sandy. It’s true what everyone says, sitting on the porch was amazing, monkeys , macaws, toucans... an overly friendly frog visitor 🤣 close to a bank and a small grocery store! Our fav spot to eat was Agua Azule and you will love the ease of taking the city bus for 335$ colones to the beach and back or to Quepos! Pura Vida xoxoxo

This place is very well located for getting around Manuel Antonio and Quepos! It’s great to have your own unit (with a kitchen) and a shared pool/garden area. Since the place has a hotel attached there are many amenities that are hard to come by in AirBnBs.

This place was fantastic!! It had everything we needed. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the beach down hill and then a 2 minute bus ride back. All kinds of great bars and restaurants close by as well as an amazing pool right next to the property you can use. Denis at the front desk is a great guy and is extremely helpful. We loved our stay here and the daily visits from all the monkeys right on our balcony. Stay here you won’t be disappointed!

Nice little appartment! Pool is pristine! Perfect getaway! Sharing the patio with the nextdoor may be a drawback if you're planning to hang out much at the place. Didn't matter to me because I was out and about the countryside and beaches before sunrise. Loved the place!

This place was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! The room had all the basics. The kitchen had everything we needed (which wasn’t much since we only made pasta for dinner one night) everything was very clean when we arrived. There was a folder filled with very good recommendations and tips we thought were useful. Now the location was great bc right by bus stop to go down to beach and close to bars and restaurants with amazing views (mind you they are more expensive than the restaurants down at the beach and quepos). The balcony is not private but we didn’t mind bc we became friends with the people who stayed next to us that shared the patio. They offer breakfast next to the pool where we got a really good authentic meal for $6 which came with coffee, oj, fruit, two eggs, rice, beans, and a tortilla or toast. They offer other things but we only got the tico meal. Now the really cool stuff: The pool access was awesome and very beautiful with a stunning view. We saw capuchin monkeys, a sloth, and capybaras! From our balcony we saw howler monkeys (bring earplugs bc they woke us up at 4am but we didn’t mind bc we are early risers anyways lol), a sloth, AND a family of titi monkeys went on our balcony!! It was crazy how close they got to us! All in all we were very happy with our stay. WiFi was good, so was the A/C. Would stay here again.

Such a beautiful air bnb. The monkeys are right outside each day. Great distance from the beach and the pool is a great addition. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Manuel Antonio!

The place is in a great spot where there is jungle and wildlife right outside the porch.  We saw Macaws every day as well as howler monkeys up close.  We loved waking up to them.  The spot is also close to Manuel Antonio beach in one direction and to he town of Quepos in the other.   We loved it!

Great space. Has a nice terrace for morning breakfast if you choose to eat in. You get access to the neighbouring villa’s pool, which is a nice added bonus. Location is prime- nested along with other nice villas, restaurants, & small super markets along the hillside. 30 min downhill walk to the beach or a short drive / taxi, which is normal given the construction regulations at the beachside. Overall great experience.

Jungle views, private room--you enter through a different gate than the rest of the villas, but the front desk is very accessible and the people who work here are very helpful getting taxis to/from Quepos, setting up tours, and other suggestions. The room was nice with hot water and AC if you want it, as well as a TV. Full kitchen with a fridge, etc. Not really walking distance to the beach but there's a bus that'll take you for a pretty cheap fee.

Upon our arrival, monkeys in our porch!!!! Wildlife everywhere!!! Very cozy spot and near good restaurants. You can take the bus to the beaches. Would highly recommend!!! Great value!!

This place is really cool/unique. There is amazing Costa Rican wildlife in the canopy in the backyard. The place itself has a rustic charm and is a short walk to many of the best restaurants in Manuel Antonio. A convenient 5 min drive and 25 min walk to the beach.

Excellent location close to it all! We drove into town but upon arriving just parked and were able to walk everywhere within a few minutes.  Very clean and quiet at night.  Overall very good.

I loved this room so much. It was the perfect size and style for a solo traveler, cozy and warm, with everything I needed in a little kitchen, and amenities easy to use. When I first got there, I was sick with a fever, and staying in that room was really healing. The verandah is gorgeous—a wall of green—and I loved just lying in bed and listening to the birds in the morning. Highly recommended!

Good budget place close to restaurants. You can see monkeys and birds from your balcony. We had to leave a few days earlier so Sheryl helped us to do the check out without any extra cost. Good customer service.

The location was private,  secure,  close to amenities (bus,  restaurants, grocery,  etc). The staff were really helpful and friendly. The studio provided everything we needed. We cooked many meals that we enjoyed on the patio listening to monkeys. The pool area is beautiful. A sharp knife would have been nice, the one that was provided was dull, but were didn't starve because of it. Overall great experience.

The apartment was fantastic we absolutely loved it! Sloths, monkeys and toucans all just outside the apartment. The pool was lovely and everyone was very friendly. A great sized space for relaxing and cooking, we would 100% stay here again and recommend it to everyone!!

Great location and beautiful home. We saw a sloth and monkey from our patio. Highly recommended 

Fantastic location with amazing hospitality and facilities at a great price. Kitchen was a great addition to our trip, and we loved that there were monkeys literally right outside of our door. Felt extremely secure, and the air conditioning was a nice bonus.

Great place near Manuel Antonio. The pool is 10/10

Excellent location, walking distance to several nice restaurants and beaches. Easy access to public busses (less than $1 USD to ride). Very clean. Only downside are the loud howler monkeys in the early morning but if you were searching for a new alarm clock tone, this place is for you. 

This studio was exactly as I expected. Comfortable, clean, accessible to area sights. The patio is the best part. I spent most of my time listening to the jungle sounds and watching the monkeys. Awesome spot. Will book this idyllic spot again.

Great, convenient location to stay in Manuel Antonio. The room is on par for the price. Everything was clean and AC worked beautifully. We had tons of monkeys pass by every day around dusk. It was nice having access to Villas Nicolas' pool and check-in. Skip the hotel's breakfast (not complimentary) and go to Emilio's Cafe or another nearby spot.

We really enjoyed our stay and were sorry we didn't stay longer. Every morning we saw wildlife from our porch outside the room - monkeys, lizards, coati and others. Reception staff were very helpful with recommendations and booking tours. We will definitely be back! Also the pool was beautiful and breakfast was delicious.

We were greeted promptly and warmly as we arrived! Our oasis was just as pictured and described! We were there for 8 nights and loved it! Every morning we were up by 6am to watch the monkeys! We saw 3 different kinds right from the patio! Road is a bit noisy but it certainly didn’t take away from our stay! Pool area was close by and beautifully clean! We will definitely be back!! Close drive to beach and El Wagon pizza is a must try as well as BBQ Cantina down the road!

The apartment is located at the highest point of the hill, which is still to be overcome in the entrance of Manuel Antonio. To the entrance and to the public beach (very nice), it is about 2 km. A supermarket is 200m away and offers everything you need for self-catering. However, you can also have breakfast in the associated (?) Hotel for currently US$6.5 and dinner in various restaurants within walking distance. - The accommodation is ok for the price. We didn't need the air conditioning at all, the two fans were completely sufficient. The kitchen is fully equipped and there were even coffee filters for the machine. Unfortunately, you don't have a view of the sea from the terrace. You have it only from the apartment directly next to it or from the garden with swimming pool. By the way, it is quite picturesquely located in the complex and can be used. - Unfortunately, the nearby thoroughfare is very busy and noisy. There is also a residual bar about 150 m away with live music until about 10 p.m. For early bed riders rather disturbing. For drivers: there is parking. Last but not least, the description of the approach is lousy, you can only orient yourself at the hotel. So: in the description or photos, the hotel shows up, be sure to remember the name.

Das Appartement liegt auf dem höchsten Punkt des Hügels, der noch zum Eingang von Manuel Antonio zu überwinden ist. Zum Eingang und zum öffentlichen Strand (sehr schön), sind es ca. 2 km. Ein Supermarkt ist 200m entfernt und bietet alles, was man zur Selbstversorgung braucht. Frühstücken kann man allerdings auch im zugehörigen (?) Hotel für aktuell US$ 6,5 und zu Abend essen in diversen fußläufig zu erreichenden Restaurants. - Die Unterkunft ist für den Preis ok. Die Klimaanlage haben wir gar nicht gebraucht, die beiden Ventilatoren haben vollkommen ausgereicht. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und es waren sogar Kaffeefilter für die Maschine vorhanden. Von der Terrasse hat man leider keinen Blick auf's Meer. Den hat man nur vom Appartement direkt daneben oder vom Garten mit Pool. Der ist übrigens recht malerisch in der Anlage gelegen und kann benutzt werden. - Leider ist die nahe gelegene Durchgangsstrasse sehr befahren und laut. Auch gibt es ca 150m entfernt eine Restobar mit Livemusik bis ca 22:00. Für Frühinsbettgeher eher störend. Für Autofahrer: es gibt Parkplätze. Zu guter Letzt, die Beschreibung der Anfahrt ist lausig, man kann sich nur am Hotel orientieren. Also: in der Beschreibung oder den Fotos taucht das Hotel auf, unbedingt den Namen merken.

The place was a great value, and having access to the pool at Villas Nicolas was such a big plus. Great views, and fantastic location. Highly recommended.

Two of us came and stayed in Oasis 3 for a week which was not only a great value but the location alone was worth the stay. It’s right in the middle of everything and easy to walk anywhere (even the 20 min down to the beach). Since this unit is located on the far side of the “resort” it was behind a wall which kept noise levels down and although not far from the pool (which was awesome) it was far enough you didn’t hear all the noise. Kitchen had MORE than enough for us to cook with even though we are out most nights (Emilio’s is close and fantastic). Everyone at Hotel Nicholas was so helpful in recommending and even booking excursions to ensure we didn’t get ripped off or book with a less than credible outfit. Also nice that they have beach towels you can rent for only $2, we used two for the whole week. They also have breakfast on site in the morning or you can walk 5 min in any direction and find good eats or food places to watch the sunsets. Room was clean, has 2 fans and an AC unit. I’m always hot and never had a bad sleep once.

This place far exceeded our hopes. First, the studio itself was comfortable and had everything we needed. With the delicious Tico poolside breakfast available every morning, plus the great walking-distance restaurants, we had many dining opportunities. Restaurant "Emilio's" was especially good! Also, lots of excellent evening live music; again within walking distance. I could go on, but for us the best part was the wildlife seen right from our patio - Capuchin, Squirrel monkeys, and very vocal Howler monkeys, sloths, aguotis, a Toucan, and pair of Scarlett Macaws! We would highly recommend the Oasis 3 to any nature enthusiast. Oh, and the pool yard is exquisite!

Beautiful grounds lovely pool great breakfast centrally-located and a great space. Can't go wrong.

We had a lovely stay, great location and super views!! The hotel pool was very nice too!

nice hosts, nice location in the tropical garden with a great pool. Beautiful view of the sea. Beautifully furnished apartment. We will be happy to come back!!!

nette Gastgeber, schöne Lage im tropischen Garten mit einem super Pool. Schöne Aussicht aufs Meer. Schön eingerichtetes Apartment. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!

I had a great stay at the Oasis Jungle Studio. Both the location and studio were exactly what I had hoped for. The studio was clean and the perfect size for a couple or solo traveler and the AC made a huge difference for sleeping. You definitely get an authentic Costa Rican experience - I could hear howler monkeys in the morning and there were a couple of sloths hanging out in a tree in direct view of my patio for a few days! If you plan on visiting the beach and Manuel Antonio National Park, the studio is situated on the hill just above both. Each are walkable, but the bus stop is right next door to Villas Nicolas and only costs 310 Colones each way (roughly 60 cents US). Highly recommended overall.

A very spacious room with all you need. The terrace gives stunning sea views and monkeys or sloths regularly passed by. Very pleasant that the hotel facilities and good communication can be used. We were able to book an extra night at the last minute without any problems. Highly recommended!

Een hele ruime kamer met alle wat je nodig hebt. Het terras geeft prachtig uitzicht op zee en er konen regelmatig apen of luiaarden voorbij. Zeer prettig dat er gebruik gemaakt kan worden van de hotel faciliteiten en een fijne communicatie. We konden zonder problemen op het laatste moment een extra nacht bijboeken. Een echte aanrader!

Really great little place to stay and they helped us out when we ran into issues with our original hotel, would definitely recommend. Furthermore we got access to the pool and we could easily walk to the surrounding areas. Thank you guys for saving our Manuel Antonio experience!

What a fantastic stay we had at Jungle studio. It was probably the highlight of our trip in Manuel Antonio and the accomodation had a lot to do with that. The apartment is detached from the main hotel, but you are allowed to use the hotel pool which was an awesome way to end the day. We wanted to see lots of wildlife in MA, the national park did a great job of seeing the monkeys, slots and birds, BUT the best thing was that we were able to see all those animals at the apartment itself. They monkeys even came up to our balcony. Truly wonderful!! The apartment has everything that is needed: well stocked kitchen with all the utensils you will need to cook for yourself, a great balcony to relax in front of the jungle, air-conditioner was excellent, cable TV, comfy bed, great water pressure for the shower and hot water. Ohh and extremely clean too. We had such a wonderful stay and the hotel staff are excellent as well. They even help with booking local tours. They have a list of tours and they book everything for you for no extra cost. We booked a Zip-line tour and a catamaran evening. Overall truly fantastic and will definitely stay again.

My fiancee and I truly enjoyed our stay at the Oasis 3 Jungle Studio adjacent to Villas Nicolas. Sheryl, Julio and Alexandra were very nice and extremely helpful answering questions before our stay and offering recommendations during our stay. The kitchenette was nice, the cable TV was a surprise and the air conditioning was a life saver given the high temps and humidity. The ability to access the pool and hot tub and Villas Nicolas significantly added to the experience. The bathroom was suitable, and the place has a queen size bed and love seat. The location -- right off the main road and commuter bus route -- was terrific and very close to many popular restaurant in the area. We did not see much wildlife around the property, but sometimes small ants clustered around the front door and kitchen. That's more of an observation, and the ants did not significantly detract from the many positives of this unit. There is another studio adjacent to Oasis 3 and an apartment above it. We could not hear our next door neighbor, but we could clearly hear the 'clanking' of dishes, glasses and silverware from the neighbors above when they were in their kitchen which is right above our studio's bed. My fiancee is a light sleeper and the noise disturbed her, but I was able to sleep through it most of the time. Overall the combination of price, location, space and amenities is wonderful. I definitely recommend it.

Beautiful little apartment for the price. TV and AC worked great. We saw more upclose wildlife on our front deck than we did in all of our tours of the national parks. Three types of monkeys, countless beautiful birds and one day a sloth In the tree just outfront. Would definitely stay again

This place is perfect. Comfy bed. Excellent little kitchen. You can use the swimming pool next door. Just a great value. I highly recommend it.

The jungle studio was the perfect pied-a-terre for our week long stay in Manuel Antonio. The space was clean and comfortable and had a nice working kitchen and terrace, where we enjoyed eating breakfast with the hummingbirds and macaws. Guests of the jungle studio are technically not guests of Villas Nicolas, although the studio itself is adjacent to the hotel. We were allowed access to the pool, which has an amazing view of the ocean and is a great spot to watch the sunset. The staff is very kind and accomodating and we booked a great catamaran dolphin/snorkeling tour through Julio at the front desk. There is free parking if you have a rental car, although all the tours will organize a pick up and drop off. The studio is centrally located and walking distance to the supermarket, bank, and many bars and restaurants on the main road. Overall we were very pleased with our stay here and would recommend it for any couple visiting Manuel Antonio! Pura Vida!

I thought this place was adorable! It was exactly enough space since I was travelling by myself. Although there was no air conditioning, I didnt miss it. The ceiling fans were perfect. The pool area is beautiful and it was so nice to sit there and relax. Unfortunately since it was the low season, the restaurant/bar area wasn't open. The staff was lovely and I would definitely stay there again.

I never got to meet the host like i was hoping but the hotel (Villas Nicolas) staff really made me feel part of there hotel. Great staff, very helpful with booking tours and recommending good restaurants. The location is absolutely perfect. Right between quepos  (good for groceries) and the National park. All the best restaurants are in walking distance and the bus to get to the park or quepos is really close and cheap (305c per person) 

The place was very well located and very clean. there was a notebook with all the relevant information, and there was always someone to answer our questions. That was great! I highly recommend this listing.

Le logement était très bien situé et très propre. il y avait un cahier avec toutes les informations pertinentes, et il y avait toujours quelqu'un pour répondre à nos questions. C'était formidable ! Je recommande fortement ce logement.

We spent 5 nights in the studio and it was the best place we stayed on our 18 days in CR. It was less polished than the photos but very clean and had everything we needed. Swimming and lounging at the gorgeous pool next door was the highlight. The location is ideal for nearby restaurants (falafel, El Patio, and more) and groceries. Buses run between Manuel Antonio and Quepos every 15 or 30 min and a ride is only 60 cents (305 CRC) so it is very easy to get to the beach or town for cheap. I highly recommend staying here as it is such a great deal.

This place was amazing! Just as described. Spent about five days here with my girlfriend in April and we had a blast. The room was as shown and very nice. Perfect for the two of us. Everything was working just fine. The fans kept the room cool in the very hot weather. The tv had quite a few channels in English. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies( no food just things to cook and eat with). The location was amazing. A two minute walk up the road takes you to an ATM, grocery store/liquor store as well as many spots to eat and drink. The other way takes you past multiple restaurants and bars. The beach is not that far to walk to but it's all uphill on the way back. Plenty of taxis and such to get you around. The pool was very enjoyable as well. Monkeys all over the place. As previously stated by other reviewers there are bugs. It is the jungle. It's like saying the beach is sandy. It happens. It's not bad at all though. Keep all your food in the fridge and clean up after yourself and it's no problem at all! I would love to stay here again! 

The neighborhood is perfect, the description of the listing is correct and although I really liked the place and want to return, honestly I didn't feel at home. 

El barrio es perfecto, la descripción del anuncio es correcta y, aunque me gustó mucho el lugar y quiero regresar, honestamente no me sentí como en casa. 

The hotel is in a gorgeous setting.  The pool area is fabulous and we saw tons of wildlife.  The food in the small restaurant was very good.  The hotel is a FAR walk to the beach, much longer than stated.  The room also has a bright light directly outside of the bedroom window that must stay on for the security guards at night so the room is bright to try to sleep in.  The room is also VERY hot and the fan above the bed barely spins, I would highly suggest the owner installing AC.  The balcony is not private but shared with a unit next door.  It should be mentioned that this unit is not actually part of the Villa Nicholas, it's next door and completely fenced off with locked gates.  We enjoyed the town but would make reservations somewhere closer to the beach and with AC if we were going again.

Sheryl made us very welcome right away. Everyone made us feel comfortable.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the pool area, views, bar, and grounds of Villa Nicolas. It really was a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. Oasis 3 Jungle Studio was a solid unit for the price, but there were a  few issues we weren't super excited about. We were happy that there was a little kitchen area with microwave, hot plate, sink, dishes, and pots/pans, as we did cook up some tasty dinners and breakfasts there. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the birds and monkeys move through the trees right in front of our little studio. As others have mentioned, the room is quite dark because of the position of the windows and because of the overhead trees. That was generally okay with us though because it was so hot and humid when we were there. Just know that the room is never as well lit as shown in the photos. Overall, the place could be worked on and renovated a bit. The bathroom and kitchen area could especially use a little work. Also, the unit was kind of dirty when we arrived - mostly the on the shelves and floor of the unit. There is no AC in the unit, but the fans blast pretty well. We also felt the bed and pillows could be a bit softer. We had some trouble sleeping on it, but it could have been because of heat/humidity as well. There were some ants and little bugs, but that's expected because you are in the middle of the jungle, and a beautiful jungle at that. Just be sure not to leave food around on the counter of the kitchen or bathrooms because ants will surely get to it. We just kept everything in the refrigerator and it was fine. The front office of Villa Nicolas was super helpful and nice. They helped us with getting a catamaran tour, offered information on the buses/schedule, and answered any other questions we had. We also had a nice time sitting at the outside bar near the pool, watching the white-faced monkeys run and swing about in the trees, and watching the sunsets. Everyone would worked there was very nice and polite. Overall, Villa Nicolas is a beautiful and wonderful place to stay, but if we were returning, we might try to stay in a different unit.
