| Prices based on accommodation from Sunday to Saturday Price per person The biggest advantage of this “accommodation option” is that students reside right on Campus. All you have to do is get out of your apartment, take the elevator down to the lobby and then come up to the school. After class, you can spend the afternoon around the pools, enjoying the sun and the occasional drink at the Blue Parrot Tropical Bar located between the pools. Booking can be made in single or multiples [2 or 3 students per room]. If students select multiple and they book alone, the school will book then with other students – we guarantee same gender but the “roommates” might speak the same native language. In cases, where we are not able to allocate 'roommates', the student may end up in single for part of or for the entire stay. On request, mixed double rooms can be booked if both clients book at the same time. Half board option: 120 USD (dinner on the day of arrival, breakfast on the day of departure, and breakfast and dinner for all other days). Residence bookings are available to students 18 years or older and only for active students of Open Hearts. Distance from school: 2 minutes walking Includes: TV, Phone, Weekly cleaning, Access to laundry service, Kitchen, Heating, Air conditioning, No meals, Private bathroom. Room Occupancy: Triple room. Price extra night: 45 US$ Individual extra nights bookable at indicated extra night price. | ||||||
