Housing

Housing Types & Features

There are two types of housing available at the Feast this year. One is a hotel-style room, and the other is an apartment style with a kitchenette. 

·        Room and board are charged per person based on occupancy level (and age, for those 13 and under), so the cost is the same regardless of the housing type you are ultimately assigned.  Therefore, the only selections you will need to make when paying for room and board are single occupancy vs double or higher occupancy for those 14 and over, and the appropriate age-based package for anyone under 14.  

·        Housing units will be assigned closer to the Feast, with priority for apartments given to families with small children and those with special needs. 

·        Please fill out our housing survey to help us determine the best arrangement for you and your family (or traveling companions, as applicable).  It is the preferred method to let us know about any special needs you may have (i.e. mobility issues, food allergies or other dietary restrictions that may require access to a kitchen, etc.)

·        Note that there is NO WI-FI IN THE ROOMS, but there is Wi-Fi available in the main conference center a short walk from the housing units.  If your cell provider offers it, you may consider adding an “international data plan” for the duration of your travels.  Another option is to purchase a mobile hotspot and international data plan.  One provider which several Feastgoers have used is Solis: https://soliswifi.co/?rfsn=2318081.4a2bce.

Hotel rooms

Hotel rooms are arranged in pairs of two separate hotel rooms which together can accommodate two to five people. Each room has its own private locking door and private bathroom, and each pair of rooms shares a common entry door and small foyer. Each pair typically has one hotel room with a large bed (can be split into two smaller beds) while the second hotel room in each pair has two or three twin beds to accommodate up to a family of five total.

Each room comes with its own bathroom and toilet, is equipped with heating and air conditioning, and has a small fridge and a TV.

The rooms on the ground floor have a small terrace; those on the second floor have a balcony.

Apartments

Apartments sleep from four up to six people. Each apartment has one private bedroom with two twin beds (can be made into a large bed). The sofa bed in the living room can sleep two and a few of the apartments have a loft with two additional beds.

Each apartment has its own private bathroom and toilet, is equipped with heating and air conditioning, and comes with a TV, a fully equipped kitchenette, dishwasher, fridge and hotplate. They are typically stocked with plates and utensils for a family of four to six along with table and chairs.

Housekeeping

Whether in a hotel room or an apartment, towels will be changed twice during your stay, and basic room cleaning (emptying trash and touching up floors) will be provided once during your stay. 

·        If you would like sheets changed and/or your towels changed more frequently, you may request this and pay an additional fee at the front desk.  Alternatively, you can request a change of sheets at the front desk for no charge if you don’t mind changing them yourself.

·         Extra towels for beach or pool use are not provided, so you may wish to bring your own towels from   home for this purpose.
