Power outages are a part of life in Costa Rica’s lush, tropical paradise.

They often occur during storms or routine maintenance but are usually short-lived.

At Escaleras Escape, we’re prepared to help you enjoy your stay even when the lights go out.

Here’s how we ensure your comfort and how you can make the most of your time during an outage.

Stay Lit and Cool

To keep things running smoothly, we’ve equipped all bedrooms with emergency light bulbs that will remain on during an outage.

At the Good Day Chalet, you’ll also find these handy bulbs in the kitchen.

For added comfort, we provide rechargeable fans to help you stay cool even if the power is temporarily down.

If the cabin gets warm, simply open all the windows to let in a refreshing breeze. The natural airflow, combined with the sounds of the jungle, creates a serene and comfortable environment.

Stay Connected

We understand how important it is to stay connected, even during a power outage. That’s why we’ve installed backup batteries to ensure the Wi-Fi remains operational for an extended period.

Whether you need to check in with loved ones, stream entertainment, or get a bit of work done, we’ve got you covered.

Cooking Made Easy

All our accommodations feature gas stoves and ovens, which are fully operational during a power outage.

While they require manual lighting, the long lighters in the kitchen will get you cooking in no time.

Water Without Worry

One of the perks of staying at Escaleras Escape is our gravity-fed water system.

This means you’ll always have running water, no matter the power situation. You can take a refreshing shower, wash up, or enjoy a glass of water without disruption.

How to Make the Most of It

1. Embrace the Moment: Use the power outage as an opportunity to unplug and connect with your travel companions. Gather around a table for a board game or storytelling session.

2. Enjoy the Night Sky: Without light pollution, the stars shine brighter. Grab a flashlight and head outside to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Costa Rican sky.

3. Dive Into a Book: With emergency lights and the tranquil sounds of nature, it’s the perfect setting to get lost in a good book.

4. Explore the Outdoors: If the outage happens during the day, use it as an excuse to explore the beaches, waterfalls, or hiking trails nearby.

At Escaleras Escape, we believe in turning any situation into a memorable experience. Power outages are a reminder to slow down, connect with nature, and embrace the simple joys of life in this tropical paradise.
