    Howdy and Greetings from Texas. My husband and I seriously considering retiring to Costa Rica and have a “discovery” trip planned next year. We would like to open up a bar and grill and was wondering if the Pacific Coast of CR would be an ideal place to open such a business.

    My husband and I both have experience in running a bar both in Maryland and Texas and yes, you are 100% correct in saying that it is long hour and hard work, but our plan is to retire young (55 years old) and would like to keep busy with something. Of course, we may get there and decide that we just want to “hang out” and do nothing.

    Come on down and take a good long hard look around for six months or so through different areas BEFORE thinking about starting a restaurant or any business here…

    This is a foreign country for you, a different way of doing business, a different system of law, a different people and of course (I’m assuming here) a different language for you…

    There’s an expression that goes something along the lines of:

    Q: How do you end up with a million dollars with your Costa Rica business?

    A: Invest two million!

    The very best way to jump start your research is to take DELETED tour. Read how past guests value their time with me on the “recommendations” page. Feel free to contact any of them by email to see how they are doing now.
