We pride ourselves on thinking of the details for you that we've not found elsewhere - even in more upscale hotels, etc. - yet at VERY REASONABLE PRICES!!!

Most Rooms/Suites have:
All "King" Beds have a MEMORY FOAM Mattress Topper making them some of the MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS most of our guests say they have EVER slept in! (like it harder?  We can take it off.  OR, if one of you wants it hard & the other softer, we can put a twin foam on one side & just the regular mattress on the other!  It's whatever YOU desire!!!) (FYI - our experience [& MANY people we've met] of most beds in Latin America is that they usually are VERY HARD!!  As a Travel Agent and Travel Writer, MOST I've found and experienced were hard as a rock - NOT what what my back likes so we've taken YOUR comfort into consideration!!  This is one of the biggest raves from guests!!)
Plenty of Pillows of at least 4 different firmnesses to choose from (including Memory Foam Contour Pillows)!!!
Most rooms have 2 Twin beds that can push together to make into a King
        (with a STRONG strap around it so you don't separate and the above mentioned topper)
Each guest gets the use of a SARONG to wear while with us! 
Dimmer Switch (for ambiance)
Night Lite (so you don't get confused in the middle of the night on the way to your bathroom run)
Candle Holder with a set of candles & matches
Table & Chairs
Pitcher of Filtered Water & cups
Dead Bolt Lock on the Door
Closet Lock (bring your own small padlock or borrow one of ours)
LOTS of Closet Space and Hangers  (& closets big enough to store your luggage++!)
Baskets for you to put your goodies in for easy transporting to the bathroom & organizing. 
We even provide you already IN the room an extra blanket & pillows so you don't have to ask! 
Because some people are hyper-sensitive to noise - we can also provide you with
            FREE Earplugs if the occasional dog barking or neighborhood rooster bothers you.
Like it really dark?  We have Sleeping Masks you can use & in some rooms we can add Blackout Curtains.
Our rooms are actually VERY tastefully decorated & matching (novel concept)! 
You can borrow a Clock Radio or Boombox if you would like.
We have tvs & dvd players you can rent for most rooms. 
Category 1 Suites come with sheets at 400++ thread count when paying the FULL Regular Rate!

They even have:
Hot Water (though in working towards Sustainability, we ask you to give us an hour to heat the water)
GOOD water flow
Good Shower Heads that you can adjust for the pressure YOU like!
Most Showers are big enough for 2+! 
2 Bathrooms have BIDETS!
Liquid Soap in the Showers & Sinks
Shampoo
Shelf inside the shower so you can put your things on it. 
Mats in the shower so you don't go slipping & sliding on the tile floors.
With YOUR comfort & safety in mind, we even thought of Rug Mats
Decent Bath Towels, Hand Towels AND Wash Cloths
Shelves for you to store your goodies (helping to add to that "I'm home" feeling!!).
Dimmer Switch
Blow Dryers is available.
Curling Iron is available.
Each room a nice colored Cup that matches your bedroom to put your toothbrush & toothpaste in!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Our ideal guest believes in HONORING MOTHER EARTH and showing it in many ways including composting, recycling, not changing towels/sheets every day, doing full loads of laundry, NOT KEEPING LIGHTS on when not in a room, using natural products to clean and more (perhaps you can teach us more things along this way!!).  Every day we are working more & more towards being a Sustainable Home!)

Do you live in Costa Rica FULL time (a "LOCAL") but further away & need to come in to San Jose / the Central Valley for a Shopping Spree, need a place to Park your Car, to visit the Doctor or for a Cultural Fix?
Inquire about our LAST MINUTE LOCALS RATES!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Whether you're joining us for 1 night or a few, for a MEDICAL TOURISM VACATION getting dental or other medical procedures (we have many contacts we're happy to share - most located just 1-15 minutes from us.  Medical care in Costa Rica is LOTS cheaper than in the U.S.!!), a Retreat, Workshop or Celebration, need to create your own retreat, or just stopping in to chill on one of our many hammocks – The Fountains Guesthouse is a place where you can go within as well as a space to have CONNECTION with others!

 If any of these things resonate with you, then
THE FOUNTAINS GUESTHOUSE in Escazu, Costa Rica IS the place to stay for YOU!
