Rules of Hospitality

We welcome you to the 49th Edition of the Coffee Bowl - Copa del Café at the Costa Rica Country Club in Escazú, Costa Rica. Hotel hospitality commences Sunday night December 30, 2012 for Main Draw players and official coaches nominated by national federations in a timely manner and who accompany their national teams, with a maximum of 2 coaches per federation, one coach for boys and one coach for girls. Players and coaches participating in the Qualifying Tournament must pay their own lodging.

Hospitality will end the day after the player is eliminated. Hospitality includes lodging and meals (breakfast at the hotel and lunch and dinner at the Costa Rica Country Club). Players and coaches must pay their own bar, telephone, laundry, and other hotel charges and should establish their own credit for these additional hotel services.

Players will be lodged in double or triple occupancy, while official coaches may be lodged in a single room. Players wishing to occupy a single room may do so if he/she pays 50% of the lodging bill but only for the standard room rate.

In order for the Organizing Committee to pay for the hotel, all players (or coaches of national teams) must register with the Committee at the Club by the end of the first day of play indicating the room number in the hotel and the names of roommates. The Organizing Committee contacts for this are Anabel Sequeira and Patricia Jiménez.

Special Rate: US$79.10 per night

The rate available to Coffee Bowl participants is US$79.10 per night (rate of US$70.00 + 13% tax). It should be noted that to obtain this rate the player/coach should specify that they are participants in the Copa del Café / Coffee Bowl when you make your reservation; otherwise the hotel will charge a higher rate.

An executive room option is also available for US$113.00 (US$100.00+13% tax), but the difference in rate must be covered by the players/coaches.

Transportation

Transportation from the airport to the Corobicí Crowne Plaza Hotel, and to the airport upon departure, will be the responsibility of each player/coach. The hotel offers airport pick up if flight details are advised in a timely manner, at a cost of US$12 per person. Another option is to take an official airport taxi (orange color). These are available as players/coaches exit the airport building on the left. These taxis are safe and reliable and the cost is approximately US$25 which may be desireable for a party of several people. For more than two people, ask for a van which can easily transport 4 or 5 passengers plus gear. Any official taxi driver will know the location of the Corobicí Crowne Plaza at La Sabana in San José.

Transport to and from the tournament site will be provided with schedules to be posted. Taxis will also be available at the hotel.
