I have fished on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. In the off season, my wife and I caught 3 Sails and 3 Mahi. Very quiet country, very laid back people, no beggers like Mexico and other resort countries. Lots of Americans already there. There is an American Medical School and facility there already. Low cost except if you settle in a resort. My wife loved it just as much as I did. They have the same tempertures almost year round. Just have 2 seasons, rainy season and dry season.
We saw ZERO violence and heard of none. They don't have a military, the US military and Coast Guard protects the country.
We are already thinking about retirement down there. We are thinking about buying a piece of property on the Pacific side, not on the water but close and want to build a house after retirement and move there.
It might sound far fetched, but the Americans we talked to over there said it is paradise. Retirement funds over there go a lot farther than over here.
