We are thinking of either buying an above ground hot tub or installing an in ground one. We are interested in getting others’ recommendations, experiences, things to watch out for, names of reputable dealers/designers, etc., etc. All advice appreciated. We live in Sarchi. Feel free to email on forum or off. Thanks!!!!!

My preference would be to install an in ground hot tub or swimming pool. In either case a filtration system is necessary.
I have the advantage of 33 years construction experience and a Tico living in house who I am teaching Gringo construction methods and he is an apt student.
Many times he questions doing things my way because of the cost but on explanation he understands why. The cost for me is for materials and minimal labor under the circumstances.
If you do not have the construction experience, you have to depend on your contractor doing what is necessary and that is a non-starter. If you do have the experience and knowledge, it becomes a matter of constant supervision to make sure it is done right. For these reasons many opt for the above ground installation.
Another option is a Gringo builder and there are a few on this site.
