Come stay in
our MAGICAL, Tranquil Oasis - safely & CONVENIENTLY located ON THE main
street in Escazu (just 7 min. West of San Jose [depending on traffic of
course]) yet set back 300' on nearly 2 acres of LUSH Tropical foliage!!!
It's a real
"me casa - es su casa" kinda feel where you have FULL use of our
Gourmet Kitchen (you just get to clean up after yourself!!). Even with these outrageous rates, we
still include tea/coffee (the coffee that we offer for free these days is a
gourmet organic coffee with cacao, honey, vanilla & cayanne pepper. If you
desire regular coffee, you're welcome to purchase it/bring it in yourself)
& ONE Free Spin on the Massage Chair, FREE WiFi throughout the house
(usually), up to 10 min. a day to check your emails, & FREE calls to/from
the U.S./Canada. Coming into town
for a shopping spree?
SUITE 1 - $65*/n (reg. $90).
This suite is "SPACIOUS" (it's name and size!!) -
Bedroom - 19 feet x 16 feet.
Bathroom - 13' x 11'.
Secluded Patio - 27' x 9'.
It has cable tv (with MANY U.S./English channels from ABC, CBS, NBC,
HGTV, Food Channel, CNN+++), cd boombox and a DVD player is available (for free
when paying the FULL $90/n price - +$5/day or $20/week if discounted), BIG
lockable closets. The Bathroom has
a double sink, shower big enough for 2 and even a bidet!!! The secluded patio has a table & 2
chairs and we can bring in a chaise lounge if you'd like. There's a REALLY GOOD security gate so
you can leave it open and get GREAT air flow!!
(discounted rate does NOT include the use of the bathtub [you can
use the bathroom for an additional $10 the 1st FILL & $5 each addition FILL
- if you're taking a long/hot bath]).
This room is spacious enough to add an additional twin bed (if staying 5
nights), futon or cot (for fewer nights) - $15/per person.
ROOM 3 - $50*/n (reg. $65)
"INSPIRATION" - That's how guests describe this recently
enhanced room with 2 windows looking out onto the sprawling gardens / grounds -
bright, spacious, open, airy - a place that can REALLY INSPIRE you!! Can't you just see yourself waking up
to this view? Or sitting at the table and chairs by the window writing your
thoughts down? It's spacious (15
feet x 13 feet) room) and has 2 Twin beds that are typically pushed together
and made into a King with a Memory foam mattress topper so you don't feel the
separation and you bury yourself in the softness (or if one likes it harder
& the other softer, we just take off one of the foam toppers for you).
Whatever way YOU desire the bed, we'll do it for you! THIS & #1 ARE THE 2 FAVORITE BEDS where many people that
normally don't sleep well or long tend to sleep REALLY WELL & LONG!!!! INSPIRATION has a Ceiling Fan, dimmer
switch, nice size side tables & lamps, candle holder, lots of closet space
(with lock [or bring your own really small lock if you feel the need]) & a
pitcher of Water & 2 cups.
There can sometimes be a little side street noise in this room (I
haven't found many places in Latin countries that don't have much noise -
whether it's the occasional neighborhood dog, rooster or car or piercing howler
monkeys [not here!]) - mainly when you open the windows (to deal with this, we
can provide you with free ear plugs [I'm hyper-sensitive to noise hence why I
think of such features though few have been bothered by it] and a sleeping mask
if you'd like to use one). This room is spacious enough to add an additional
twin bed (if staying 5 nights), futon or cot (for fewer nights) - $15/per
person.
This room shares a nice size Bathroom with a large shower for 2
and a bidet - with Awakening Room (& occasionally #6).
.
ROOM 4 - $35*/n (reg. $65)
"AWAKENING" is another spacious room (15' x 13') with
VERY SPECIAL energy with it's purple and fuscha decor! Can you see yourself propped against
the sturdy headboard surrounded by LOTS of pillows - looking out onto the lush
gardens / grounds? Wouldn't you LOVE to wake up here? A great time to go within and re-AWAKEN your Spirit as peace
and calm is emphasized in this room.
You can have the bed made up as 2 Twin beds OR push them together and
make them into a King and add a king size foam mattress topper. AWAKENING has: Small Table & 2 Chairs, nice size
End Tables and Lamps, Dimmer Switch, Nightlight (ever woke up in a strange
place, confused on where you were??), Candle Holder, Ceiling Fan, Large Locked
Closet with lots of shelves (bring your own padlock or borrow one of
ours). Inspiration shares a nice
size BATHROOM with Awakening. This
is a pretty quiet room but if the occasional neighborhood dog, rooster or car
bother you, we can provide ear plugs (I'm hyper-sensitive to noise hence why I
think of such features though few have been bothered by it) and/or a sleeping
mask if you'd like to use one.
This room is spacious enough to add an additional twin bed (if staying 5
nights), futon or cot (for fewer nights) - $15/per person. (not available till Dec. 17)
ROOM 5 - $40*/n (use the shower in Suite 2 or shared bathroom
& pay only $35**/n [this one is on a separate hot water tank]) (reg. $65).
"SECLUSION" is away from it all (hidden off the
Kitchen/Laundry Room area) hence VERY PRIVATE. This smaller (14' x 9') room now
has 2 Twin Beds that can push together with a strap around it and a foam topper
(so you don't feel the crease) to make into a King bed. SECLUSION also has a detached spacious
PRIVATE BATHROOM with large walk-in shower for at least 2. SECLUSION is Handicap Friendly/good for
someone with minor Mobility issues and includes a bar in the shower** and by
the toilet. It also has a: Ceiling
Fan, End Tables and Lamps, Candle Holders (quite a few hanging and wall ones),
Small Table & 2 Chairs, Dimmer Switch, Locked Closet with Locks (bring your
own padlock or borrow one of ours)(note there is a bit of a musty smell in this
room [which most people soooo don't notice it])
ROOM 6 - $20*/n (reg. $40)
On a tight budget? The "PUENTE" is our cheapest! The
9.6' x 18.7' room has a Full Size Futon (it's one of the cotton REAL ones that
is REALLY firm OR we have a 2" foam topper for it) and a ceiling fan,
table & 2 chairs. It shares the tiny bathroom with shower. This room isn't
totally private as whoever is sleeping in #2 "Cubby Hole" must walk
through The Puente to get to that bedroom. Also, occasionally, whomever is
receiving a massage in the back massage room needs to walk through (normally in
the day) hence this room must be kept neat.
*CONDITIONS:
Discount is ONLY valid when prepaying in full IMMEDIATELY upon
RESERVING & expires ON Nov. 30, '09.
4 night minimum [add $5/n to the rate if less].
Valid even if not traveling till April 1, '10 (if you don't have
the exact dates you can buy credit for a specific room AND, if it's not
available, we'll UPGRADE you to the next more expensive room at NO ADDITIONAL
COST!!! You can even break the
nights up).
IMPORTANT NOTE: These
rates are with YOU CLEANING YOUR ROOM & BATHROOM when you check out (&
you keeping your bathroom clean throughout). We collect a $20 deposit for each room to ensure that. If
you don't clean up, we keep $10 of it ($5 if one night, $10/$15 for #1).
