SUPER DUPER SPECIAL RATES!!
SUITE 1 - $70*/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 - $40*/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. 5)
ROOM 5 - $45*/n (using the shower in Suite 2 or shared bathroom as 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 - $25*/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 whomever 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.
Even with these outrageously LOW RATES, we still include
• 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

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).

Come stay in our MAGICAL, TRANQUIL OASIS - located in THE BEST, MOST CONVENIENT and Safest area we’ve found in Costa Rica - San Rafael de ESCAZU!!
The HOUSE OF CONNECTIONS (formerly known as the Fountains Guesthouse [we changed the name because CONNECTING is REALLY what the energy of the house, what happens with most guests /your hosts are about!!]) located ON THE main street on the South/West side of the Central Valley just 7 min. West of San Jose (depending on traffic of course) YET we’re set back 300' on nearly 2 acres of LUSH Tropical foliage with a CREEK running around part of the parameters!!!
MANY refer to our area as the HEART of the "Beverly Hills of Costa Rica" - what many refer to as the "Gringo Area" because it has the MOST MODERN CONVENIENCES like OVER 50 restaurants within 15 blocks either direction (& MANY deliver [note, from Dec. 26-Jan. 1 MOST things are closed as MOST people go to the beach!! It's nice & QUIET!!]) - including Goddess forbid - McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Bagelmen's that even deliver. We have Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Organic/Healthy, International cuisine, Sushi, Subway, Kosher/Jewish and LOTS MORE! Check out Vicki’s new COSTA RICA EATS Restaurant Guide [with a STRONG emphasis on the Escazu area] –
http://CostaRicaEatsGuide.com). On our corner is a Curves, a small but nice selection/priced “liquor store”. Our area also has everything from the best markets around, to Yoga Classes, shopping, spas (we even have Harmony Spa / Acupuncture Center NEXT DOOR!!), tanning salon, the BEST butcher, gyms (World Gym and ArenaTrek), Pilates, a local feria/Farmer’s Market on Sat. and an organic feria Wed. morning, dentists, medical doctors (many people come to CR to have procedures as they WAY cheaper than elsewhere! [usually around 40-60%]) and THE American-owned hospital - CIMA (U.S. owned). We're also ON the bus line that goes directly into San Jose (into the Coca-Cola Bus Terminal - THE MAIN bus terminal for Costa Rica!!)!! Need to go further? Just about whatever you desire, we have it nearby!
Because of this convenience and ease, you don’t need to rent an expensive car – you can walk to many things or use one of the many English-speaking (of varying levels) LEGAL Taxi Drivers/Guides we associate with to assist you (including with translation [for a NICE tip &/or extra fee])! This saves you a LOT of money & gives you a MUCH more relaxing & EASE FILLED vacation (not having to drive in a country with LITERALLY NO addresses & some challenging roads with MANY "challenged" drivers!!)!!
SJO Airport is just 20 minutes from us (you rarely get that noisy/sleep-wrecking airplane noise breaking your sleep throughout the night) and Pavas Airport (home to
http://NatureAir.com - the ONLY airline we’d take for traveling within Costa Rica!!) is less than 10 minutes from us!!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Your hosts - Tico Frank Chicas Hernandez and Vicki Skinner KNOW what service is about!!
One of most SPECIAL Feature are our BEDS!!! Most of are beds are 2 Twin beds that we put a strap around (so they don’t separate) and put a Memory Foam Topper on top making our beds some of the MOST DELICIOUS most of our guests say they’ve slept in!! Like it hard? (MOST beds in Latin American countries are HARD as a rock [note – “orthopedic” usually means hard as a rock!!) We can remove the Topper!! One likes it hard and the other softer – we have Twin Memory Foam Toppers – whatever is best for your good night sleep, our intention is to accommodate it!!
Our home is a real "me casa - es su casa" kinda feel where you have complete access to our FULL Kitchen that includes everything from all sorts of kitchen toys, numerous juicers, a food dehydrator, ice cream maker, pop corn maker to a convection oven (you just get to clean up after yourself!!). Go hang out in the livingroom watching tv, workin' on your laptop (no need to coup yourself up!!), hang out in one of the MANY hammocks located around the property, read a book, play games - just BE!!!!
Thinking of moving to Costa Rica? We have LOTS of info & connections on the ins and outs of the area that we're HAPPY to share with our guests!!
We're also the HOUSE OF SELF EMPOWERMENT holding Self-Empowerment minded seminars (everything from Feng Shui to Vegetarian Cooking classes), have a have some Holistic Practitioners & Pamperers that see their clients here including
http://RodrigoMassageCostaRica1.com & Lizette doing very detailed Manicures & Pedicures & others!! And we’ll be resuming our PERSONAL RETREAT/PAMPERING DAY after the first of the year (currently it’s being held on Fridays. See
http://HouseOfSelfEmpowerment.com)
The HOUSE OF CONNECTIONS is located less than 2-3 hours or less from most of the things you came to see in CR - making us PERFECT for those wanting the EASE of a base to explore CR without the hassles of packing and unpacking and moving around day-to-day. We have many wonderful tour guides/drivers that can help you have a MAGICAL vacation!!! Even faster – catch a flight on
http://NatureAir.com to get you to the places that would normally be a grueling 3-5 hour drive (and what an AWESOME way to see the country!)!!
The HOUSE OF CONNECTIONS
is wonderful for those desiring an overall TRANQUIL getaway, or a place to connect.
SPECIAL! Friends usually can join in the various workshops/events happening at The HOUSE OF SELF EMPOWERMENT (the seminar division of House of Connections) AND usually can save 5-10%!!!
Whether you're joining us just to get a minor medical/dental procedure or tests (ULTRA CHEAP in Costa Rica – 40-60% off. We can assist you with a connection to some of the wonderful medical professionals we share with others!!), as your base, your 1st or last night before venturing out and about CR, or coming to The House Of Self Empowerment for a retreat, seminar or celebration, need to create your own private retreat, want a Massage, Facial or other Wellness Therapies - we WELCOME YOU!
