Get in While You Can

Get in While You Can. 

The Papagayo Region of Guanacaste is reaching lift off velocity and you are about to be left behind.  Let’s be fair – We have been preaching to everyone who has shown a twinkle of an interest in buying property here that you need to get something before prices get out of reach and the selection becomes less attractive.  Let’s also be very clear.  There is still time for you to act – but we can’t keep the dogs at bay much longer for you.  You need to stop procrastinating and get your little slice of heaven now.  So far we have been lucky that Costa Rica has not allowed breakneck development and have held their ground by never allowing high rise beachfront developments, like Cancun, in our area.  This has actually made the rest of the non beach front property even more valuable. 

 So here we are with the perfect scenario for you to grab something before the big boys move in and drive prices up.  but don’t get comfortable because technically the big boys are already here and have started quietly and now with a slow crescendo are moving in and taking over.

EXPATS in Costa Rica – CAVA Bar and Restaurant

It’s pretty darn simple if you think about it – Whisky, Wine, Tequila, Cigars, and Great Food with some Live Music mixed in for good measure.  That is the straightforward formula that Ron and Molly of the CAVA Bar and Restaurant are using to entice locals and EXPATS alike to enjoy their intimate afternoon/evening piece of paradise in downtown Playas del Coco.
