Monkeys may be cute hanging out on the balcony, but leave a door or window open and they can do more damage than any vandal
Costa Rica’s is the most popular destinations in Latin America and for good reason. With over 5% of the world biodiversity it’s no surprise people from around the world flock to experience her beauty and charm.
Buying a home in Costa Rica is a sound investment. If you are not planning to live full time in your home, renting it out to folks who want to have a dream vacation here is a great way to subsidize the ownership costs. What’s not to love about relaxing on the beach, zipping through the trees with the monkeys or enjoying a pacific sunset cruise? Sounds like a getaway to paradise! However, when owning a home where you will not be spending all your time and possibly rent out, it is ever so important to have someone you can trust to watch over it when you are away.
Lucky for you, property management doesn’t get any better than in Costa Rica and companies can be found throughout Costa Rica. Read more... (861 words, 2 images, estimated 3:27 mins reading time)
Limited Funds provide Limited Lifeguard Services. Over 98% of all Costa Rica beaches have no lifeguard services. And those that do, are threaten with lack of funding.

But even with that, a dangerous rip surge, even in waist deep water, can drag a body underwater and that is why, according the the Red Cross, there are about 120 recorded drownings a year. And only God-knows how many deaths occur from drownings that go unrecorded. Read more... (769 words, 2 images, estimated 3:05 mins reading time)
Club Vertigo's Rocking Night Action in San Jose
Costa Rica for spring break? Humm – not a bad idea! It may not be as wild as Cancun, Mexico with it’s crazy parties, infamous umbrella drinks, wet T-shirt contests and drunken beer-guzzling nights, but what really defines, “Exciting!” to your personal taste?
Mexico has always been the choice for Spring Breakers, but now with increasing problems (spearheaded by the Media and read this State Department Warning) with the drug wars, Costa Rica sounds more like the perfect destination if you are looking to party in a tropical setting and most important, FEEL SAFE!!!
Travel Agents have jumped on the bandwagon offering vacation packages for as little as $400 for a weeks stay that includes, hotel, meals and of course, that famous complimentary cocktail upon arrival, but unlike Cancun, this one will have some “serious” alcohol in it!!

Do you have this in Cancun? Read more... (719 words, 3 images, estimated 2:53 mins reading time)
