Actually, the Caribbean does not have a “rainy season.” It can rain any month of the year. We get a great mix of rain and sunshine. We do have months that tend to be drier and months that tend to be wetter. I am very happy that we do not have an extended dry season. I do not enjoy dust, extreme heat and increased ocean temperatures. The ocean is a constant temp. here. I am equally glad that we do not have 6 months of rain, almost daily. It does not typically go for more than 10 days here without a good rain shower. Plants stay green without the need to use sprinklers. Most of our rain falls during hours of darkness. The rain is always welcome and the sun shines most of the time!
We also used Residency in Costa Rica with Javier and his sister Mayanye. Javier is in LA. Mayanye is in San Jose. They were great and this was 3.5 years ago. I am sure they have just gotten better and better. We are a family of 6 and they earned what they charged.
We moved here with 4 kids in 2003. We are still here and are very happy here. We do private school. But we love our community and our livestyle.
Now why do you need a/c?? It always cools off as soon as the sun goes down and many people ask for blankets. This coast maintains a pretty constant temperature and never gets over 93 degrees in the heat of the day and gets down into the 70’s at night. With a fan, everyone is cool and comfortable. In the shade, it is always fine.
Also, will you have a car? If not, you will want to stay closer to a town center, Cahuita or Puerto Viejo. If you will have a vehicle, which can be a pain, you can stay further out.
Good luck!
