    Thanks for your kind comments.

    The new highway WILL BE real. They have built some of the bridges and have been working on buying the land for the road. But there is no road yet!

    They will supposedly be starting the actual road this year but, we have heard that before – many times.

    This future highway will be the subject of an article soon and it will be featured prominently.

    I do NOT know the Orotina area well enough to be able to give you an educated opinion as to whether a B&B would survive there or not …

    Moved away from costa rica 4 years ago. Did they ever build that highway to the pacific? if so how long would it take to get from around the forum to the beach? Just goofing on the website and saw this. Yes, still a member though I live in china now.

    Yes, the highway is finished and from Santa Ana to the first beach is probably just about an hour! It is a great road unless the rainy season causes mudslides or there is a construction slowdown.
