Thanks for the info Lisle55. I’m hoping to build soon and $70 a sq. sf. would be ideal for me on a good quality home. Would you have any recommendations on a good and honest builder?

Why are you so negative about tourism declines in Costa Rica? Tourism is down all over the world because of the bad economy as we know. People are not spending money on anything because they are all scared.
It’s no fluke Costa Rica had 2-million tourists last year and yeah the numbers will be down this year. Just because applications are down 25% for passport applications doesn’t mean it’s the end of tourism.
The population will move forward after we get through this turmoil and return to their spending habits. The whole population of the world is not suffering, they are just being cautious which gives the illusion that everyone is suffering.
I have tons of friends here in the states that are doing just fine. We are not all in trouble and their was a huge buzz about Costa Rica before the downfall.
The tourism WILL return!
For the record I do not work for any travel agency.
