RetireforLessinCostaRica.com endorses the following sites as we have personally used their services and feel confident about recommending them to others.

  • Retire in Costa Rica on Social Security – We highly recommend George Lundquist’s retirement tour, during which he shares with you his first-hand experiences with the medical, pharmaceutical, and insurance systems, banking, residency application, shopping, legal issues, real estate, rents, transportation, restaurants, the monthly cost of phone, electricity, water, Direct TV, Internet service, and gas. We found it invaluable! See Paul’s full review here. Tell George that Paul and Gloria sent you!
  • Visual Link Spanish – Free Spanish Lessons!! I (Gloria) started learning Spanish with Visual Link Spanish and was surprised at how quickly I was able to speak in full sentences! You can read Paul’s review here.
  • Cabina Rentals in San Ramon – This is where Paul and I are currently living.  If you will be visiting the Central Valley and are looking for a great place to stay with more features than a standard hotel room, this is the place!  Each picturesque cabin is approximately 550 sq ft (51 sq m), ideal for a small family. Each cabin features one of the following 2 bedroom arrangements: both with queen beds, or one with queen bed and one with queen/single bunk set. Other features include a large living room, eat-in kitchen, hot water, satellite television, all utilities (including electricity), and wireless internet access.  Someone on the property around the clock, weekly housekeeping service and a full-time gardener are also provided.  Laundry facilities are available at no cost, and both bus (about $.26 one way) and taxi service (about $4.25 one way) into town are readily available. Contact the bilingual property manager, Cesar, to  receive more information.
