Here is a brief description from 
AM CR  "Ernest Hemingway and Pink Floyd 
are among Alvarado's role models,  but it was
his experience as a  former minister in Costa
Rica's outgoing center-left government  that
shaped the political career that led him to
become the newly elected president."
He will be C.R.'s  youngest president ever
elected at  38 years old.  His first order of 
business was in appointing a very diverse
cabinet and his new ministers,  including
Central America's first black female vice-president!
We are excited and once again, hopeful!

How does Daylight saving time affect Costa Rica?

Now we are 2 hours behind the East Coast,
and we are 1 hour ahead of California.  

Another fantastic weekend as i spent
one night in San Jose, so i could go to
the Feria Helados-the 2nd annual Ice-
Cream Fair as well as Peruvian food 
fair, and on Sunday, I went to the Santa
Ana onion fair (pretty boring). Saturday
night i saw one of the best cover bands
i have ever seen in my life, as Las 
Tortugas, played many of the hits when I
was a younger man, incredibly well. 
Thats why i like living at the beach, 
it's only an hour 20 minutes to San Jose
for exciting events, and now I get to walk
on the beautiful Playa Hermosa beach.

 Let's sell more properties!  

 The Hermosa beachfront bungalow 
was officially sold yesterday, and the
 Hermosa 3 bdrm house had closed a
month ago, but we still have 2 more of these
beautiful homes on one third acre of land,
directly across the street from the beach
here in Playa Hermosa.  
Looks like a fantastic start for 2018!

Yes it's been confirmed: Data from the
National Chamber of Tourism show that the
occupation rate is over 80% in the Central 
Pacific.

For those looking for "foreclosed properties"
in Costa Rica, please keep in mind that the 
banks here almost never made loans for
neither U.S.citizens nor Costa Ricans.
Since very few loans were made, very
few foreclosures have happened. However
we still have incredible deals, bargains,
with Sellers offering their discounted properties
to less than 65% of the amount they have
invested.Only the past year many properties
sold so there is a shrinking market to purchase
"vacation rental income properties".  Also it
seems that the tourists are coming here in
greater numbers at purchase vacation rental
income properties have an excellent chance
of great returns. Call or write me now to see
how we might have your perfect rental income
property in either Playa Hermosa,Jaco beach
or Los Suenos Marina & Golf Resort.

Another joy of living in Playa Hermosa 
de Jaco is finding "sea beans" 
(aka "hamburgers of the sea or 
"ojo de buey"). 

Just Announced: the beach that i walk 
on every morning has again been awarded 
the "Blue Flag" Designation, which means 
that Playa Hermosa-Jaco, Central Pacific 
is clean, both in and out of the water, 
with many locals helping to keep it that 
way. Thanks to all the volunteers from 
Playa Hermosa-Jaco.

San Jose provided lots of fun as I 
went to the Hard Rock Cafe to see 
"the Beatles" and tributes to "Queen." 
Surprisingly a great show! Then the 
next day I went to the Feria de Chocolate,  
which was also great. The joys of 
living at the beach but only 1.5  
hours from San Jose!

Another poll showing that Costa Rica is one of the
top/best/easiest places for U.S. expats to relocate!  

In a separate category measuring how easy it is for
foreign residents to get settled, Costa Rica ranked
second overall and in the top five in subcategories
of feeling welcome, friendliness and finding friends,
adding to the notion that Ticos are some of the
world’s most hospitable people.The survey found
that 8 out of 10 expats “feel at home” in Costa Rica
and 9 out of 10 feel friendliness from the locals is
above average. Costa Rica also scored high for
climate and weather. The survey found that 9 out
of 10 expats greatly enjoy the daily weather here.

Why do people move?
According to to a new survey by  Harris Poll of more
than 2,200  U.S. adults, the number one moving
motivation for respondents was:
"Wanting to live in a better climate"  Well, come to
Costa Rica and see what it's like to live in
gorgeous weather 89% of the time!  Ya Man!   

One of the great things about living in the
Central Pacific are the wonderful groups
that exist here helping out the various local 
communities. From Rotary to the Jaco beach
English speaking churches (Radical & Horizon)
volunteers donated lots of items that were given
to those living in poor areas from Playa Azul-
Tarcoles-banks of rivers to Parrita and Quepos

In other words, you can move to Costa Rica and 
get involved in helping out your neighbors while
making some great new friends!!
