There are some nice looking plastic tiles that look just like the typical clay ones, I think the name of the company is Teja Real S.A., look them up in the yellos pages or call 113 (information in Costa Rica)
For superb costarican type “bocas” try Shumis in Sto Domingo de Heredia, just past the Bouganvilea hotel next to a soccer field, there is a cantina type are and a family area, everything is spectacular, but try their chifrijo with mixed chicharrones…wow you will keep on going back, great fare great food….clean and affordable, old school tico bocas bar….
For all of us that love Puerto Viejo and its surroundings, please speak up and help save it from the marina, they reduced the size to 100 slips,that is still 100 too many!
There would now be parts of the beach that could no longer be accessed and even if they could the beach will change, the water will be dirty, this type of marina in a hurricane free area is typically used by yacht owners to repair and paint their boats while they do not use them, a lot of times certain banned paints in the U.S. can be used since they are not yet prohibitted here, which is quiet convenient for them…
By the way, the reef is not 100% dead as says the potential developers of this “eco” marina, just by have ecological as part of the name it doesnt make it sound, there are bound to be spills, be it diesel, gas, oil, hydraulic fluid, etc….it will change and for the worst.
The marina is not a source of jobs for the locals, there is no unemployment in the area, those who do not work do not do so cause they dont need to or dont want to, not because there is a lack of jobs, plus mechanics for such technologically advanced yachts are not even found in the area…..
Let’s keep it green!

The program I heard about was farily recent (6 months?) which might be the same or similar to the one Mr. Isham posted about, there was an article in the Tico Times a few months ago about it however I don’t believe it mentioned specifics (bank or brokers, anyway if anybody has any input on that it would be interesting as well.

I totally agree on the reply concerning commercials on this and any forum I read/particiapate in, however I have heard and read online a a bit about a U.S. financing or mortgage for U.S. citizens purchasing property in Costa Rica and Panama and we should not discredit them prior to knowing more about the details, can anybody provide any information?
