The Faulkner Suite and Bronte Suite share a balcony, with access via a sliding glass door in each suite.
Casa Cusinga: Housed inside the more rugged Casa Cusinga, The Kerouac and Steinbeck Rooms are a step back in time for the writer who desires a more classic, old school expatriate experience inside a modern-designed, with a rustic-feeling Costa Rican mountainside home. Author Ezekiel Tyrus wrote a novel while staying in The Kerouac Room. Perhaps you will do the same.
Steinbeck Suite ($1750): Queen size bed with private bathroom/shower, walkout to outdoor Jacuzzi and deck.
Kerouac Room ($1500): Queen size bed. Bathroom and laundry are five feet away.

All retreaters will have access to Casa Lapas where all workshops and meals will take place (except for special occasions and field trips). Casa Lapas will be stocked with fruits/snacks and drink throughout the week.
* NOTE: If you choose to bring a partner/spouse, they will be charged $500, regardless if they participate in any activities. This is due to the fact that all meals are eaten together and we don’t want to exclude anyone (and we will not price out individual meals), the group spends a considerable amount of time together and we need to ensure there is proper transportation space available.
