Vamos Nostradamus

Tank Tops Flip Flops Newsletter edition no. 93

Just recently I have had 3 clients pass away, may they Rest in Peace. Two of the three did not have a Costa Rican will and are dealing with some inconvenient circumstances. I tell ALL of my clients that it is imperative that you have a Last Will and Testament, even if you just own a car as it is not a tremendous amount of money to set one up; My condolences to the families. Please talk to your attorney.

This particular newsletter is a little bit of a negative political rant. So if you are already tired of the US election, maybe you should just put this one aside. Also, if you are of the opinion that everything is Hunky Dory and our current administration is doing a wonderful job running the world you definitely don’t want to read this; just hit delete and get on with your day. But if you are like 90% of my clients, who are embarrassed and scared by the direction we are heading then this Newsletter is just for you. Grab a cup of coffee, have a seat, buckle up and hold on; this is gonna be one heck of a ride.

Best Costa Rica Spa

Which is the best Costa Rica spa?

Before we talk about all the great spas we wanted to let everyone know that there are many good local hairstylists and most of the spas also have hairstylists as well or will know where to get your hair done close by. 

There is a wonderful new hair salon right here in Playa Hermosa. Her name is Ale and her shop is called HEY ALE’ Contact her at 8308-7257

Costa Rica should be called, The Ultimate Spa Destination. Seriously. There are HUNDREDS of spas throughout the country many located in the middle of the rainforest or jungle. Many incorporate hot springs, mud baths and yoga retreats into their resorts. You could spend the rest of your retirement just checking each spa off of your list; not a bad way to live out your twilight years.

One of my all-time favorite things to do is to go to Playa Hermosa and get a massage right on the beach. There are about a half a dozen fantastic girls with their tables set up right under the palm trees. There is nothing like hearing the wave’s crash while the gentle breezes from the ocean blow. Now that’s my idea of a Costa Rica spa! The girls are in front of the El Velero Hotel, Bosque del Mar Hotel and at the bottom of the Condovac hotel. ENJOY!!
