    I doubt that you will have little problem finding plenty of options to choose from. Just decide on how large a B&B you want, and what part of the country you want to be in, and what your real budget is – – then publish that on this site and sit back and analyse the info you receive, then ask for the real numbers, back up by credit card and bank statements, plus actual P&L’s (if they exist). That will be your real problem – getting real numbers.

    If you are interested in being on the Nicoya Peninsula, send me a PM and we can talk.

    It sounds like you need to make a few exploratory trips. The country is very diverse & only you can decide what area is best. Some of us are beach people, some are mountain people…& you don’t want to decide the area you’ve bought in is actually not for you after the fact, because it can take a long time to sell in CR if you expect to recoup your investment.

    Tgannon – take a few minutes to read, and then re-read, what Jessica writes…….. there is a wealth of information and great advice packed into what, at first glance, appears to be three very simple sentences!

    And the “why” of the ease of finding a B&B in CR is easy. There are a ton of them in receivership or bankrupt. Think about it.
