We look at the benefits, safety, accessibility, healthcare, risk, quality of life and cost of living among other things. We also specifically look at the southern Pacific region of Costa Rica and how to tour our properties on our 4 day all inclusive discovery weekends to check out real estate and retirement/vacation home and rental opportunities.
