Very nice video

Your video is very informative. We were in Tambor last March. I fell in love and am telling my hubby I want to buy a place down there..not in Tambor maybe a bit north of that...I would like it as an investment , but to stay down there once in awhile also...

Thanks . Great info

Amazing

My ears perked when you mentioned dental care. Can you (or anyone on this thread) recommend a dentistry office in Costa Rica? I am looking to get some procedures done there to save money and checkout the country as well. I have been hearing wonderful things about for years! Thanks in advance! Eric F

Native Costa Rican here, this applies to you because you're a foreigner and you've probably got the only thing ticas look in a man: MONEY. If you're a local, you better show off your fancy clothes, expensive car and if possible, hang a $100 bill on your face if you want to have a minute of their attention.

Will these properties have septic system or will it be city sewage?

going there Thursday yay

My name is Mathias. I'm going to Playa Tamarindo for 3 months this winter (december to march) at the EF langage school. I will absolutely go at your pizzeria, that's for sure. I just love pizza so I guess I'll be a customer. Hope I'll see you guys.

LOL !!! -- Here is your video summary, folks: Costa Rica is great ... , except for: 1. noise - with great weather, you leave the windows open, and sounds comes in. 2. noise - barking dogs is common. 3. noise - fireworks and firecrackers go off during a few celebrations. 4. noise - music is often heard from restaurants, bars, and homes. 5. noise - car horns can be heard in traffic. 6. traffic - the locals don't drive the way they did back home. 7. smoke - gardeners often burn refuse, as opposed to filling landfills. 8. noise - truck engine braking can be heard, instead of destroying their brake pads. 9. politeness - the locals should be more opinionated and confrontational. 10. envy - can't stand seeing old guys getting young girls, even for money/gifts/favors/fun. This is probably from an over-the-hill, female, New Yorker. I haven't even been to Costa Rica, but obviously, this "analysis" is a total joke. This actually makes me WANT to go to Costa Rica. Perhaps that's the point.

nada mejor que tiquicia

The noise issues you mention are very prevalent in Mexico also. I was amazed at how noisy was out in the middle of nowhere....You never feel like you are getting away from it all... deep in the middle of a jungle or a remote mountain top.... people in these little shacks play there mindless music at distortion levels... roosters are always crowing ...dogs barking...donkeys braying, and truckers tune their exhaust systems to be as loud as possible. They use their Jake brakes to slow down for speed bumps and there are speed bumps everywhere. Sounds like a combination of machine gun and cannon.

we fell in love with the Brasilito area. And am trying to get our family down there to live in the next few years, ( sooner if I get my way) Could a family of 3-4 live well on 3-4K US?

How much was that house and how many square meters was it?

Sure wish he was closer to where I live. Bummer. Ahhh, such is life. :O

great..

I thought this video was going to have info about owning guns in CR not video of people shooting.

Atenas is definitely the "Hot Spot" for retirees from the USA. I am not a big fan of Atenas, but I do admit that Atenas is a great place for many potential expats to consider. Google "Atenas" and what you can expect from Atenas will quickly become clear. Atenas is a Gringo retirement community. There are tons of real estate agencies who will happily sell you land or a home in Atenas. The weather, yoga, the park, etc. are the primary attractions. I've been in Atenas twice, and on both occasions, my impression was "Stepford." If you want suburban USA in another country, then Atenas is your place... and that's OK. That's what some people want. One expat's comment on a Costa Rican expat website said it all (paraphrased)... "The airport is 30 minutes away and the beach is 45 minutes away." Lots of expats don't really want to live in Costa Rica. They just want to live in a $1 Million home with quick access to the beach and the airport. If they need to go out or shop, they'll drive their BMW into San Rafael de Escazú for dinner at Saga, a few beers at Hooters, and a little shopping at Multiplaza... and then quickly head back to their enclave in Atenas before they are contaminated by the Tico culture.

I just GOTTA disagree with Michael Simons on this issue... I don't consider 6 months to a year worth of rental expenses to a be a waste of money... I consider it to be an investment in research. Of course, your Rental isn't going to be the house of your dreams... you're just scouting the area. Even just moving around in the USA, I often experienced, "Oh, Wow! Did you guys realize that this fantastic venue is over here?" I consider a "boots-on-the-ground" rental to be an investment in my future home. Personally, I would NEVER buy a property when I first moved into an area. I'd much rather do some scouting, and then choose a home that I can Really live with.

How far is atenas from san jose ? What do most americans do in costa rica for work?

Thank you sir, too many American's are missing out on this wonderful opportunity.

Que impresionantes tomas, se me sale el corazón de la emocion, De donde eres?

Thank you VERY much for this video. A big help to me. The complaints of your your friends and business associates are exactly the same complaints of my family members who moved to Southern Brazil. The same disturbances, especially regarding noise, mistreatment of dogs (animals in general) and lack of consideration. Hence, they moved back to the US to Sarasota, Fl where it's almost too quiet!

North American standards put me off.

What absolute BS. There is SO much to rent in Costa Rica. And actually in terms of use of capital rental rates are cheaper than buying.

One suggestion, if you live in Costa Rica : MOVE OUT OF THE CITY !!!

nice pics, but if I was so rich to not care about the price I would shop Hawaii oceanfront.

I love costa Rica ..went everyday to Manual Attonio Beach on the Pacific Ocean ..Not Humid.at all ..And Costa Ricans care about the ecology ..But I would like to retire in Panama ..same beauty.and a lot cheaper more English speakers and I would buy a house there for sure ..

Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast in three words : Piece of Paradise!!!

I just got back from there and we're looking forward to moving here, can't wait to be honest. House is up for sale hopefully be there by July.

did you live in a cave before? These things happen everywhere.

Nice video, but you left out all the important details such as costs and time to build. Did you build it yourself or hire someone? Was it done in time and on budget?

I had to visit the ER while receiving dental care in Costa Rica, for the exact same reason I visited the ER in the states. The Hospital in the states charged 15 times more than the hospital in the states and provided poorer quality care, in that they did not help me resolve the trouble in the states, but the doctor in Costa Rica gave me dietary advice and helped me to feel more comfortable and resolve my trouble.

Wtg Oliver! don't give up, you can do it! in the meantime enjoy that beautiful country and keep on doing what you love :) peace be with you. Happy Holidays!

What a sweet woman.

you people sound like wussies did you expect the culture to accommodate to you?
