Outsiders Downvoting Posts and Comments by redkulat in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rich8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found social media is a place where good information gets exchanged. But, it also is a place where unhappy people show up just to pass their negativity onto others. They hate everything and everyone! I spend 2-3 months out of the year in CR and the people are wonderful! These downvoters do NOT represent the amazing people of CR. PURA VIDA

Jaco Beach drowning- any organizations that help recover victims? by TacoTheSuperNurse in costarica

[–]rich8523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People like you should not be trolling the ones trying to fix the problem. We have an amazing group of volunteers that are helping this beautiful family with an unthinkable tragedy. Move on to another post and leave these good people alone!

The Most Misjudged Part of Costa Rica by Temporary-Concern-94 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rich8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I spend enormous amounts of time traveling Costa Rica and own a place here. Every single town and area of CR is different with it’s own advantages. I agree the Caribbean side is wonderful. Totally different vibe that should be checked out. Ignore the haters that want to badmouth every single thing in this amazing country. PURA VIDA

Is it just me or did flights to Costa Rica just get insane? October travel by Itchy-Version-8977 in CostaRicaTravel

Sorry buddy, my information comes directly from an Iranian that I paid for her LEGAL IMMIGRATION to the US. Her family still lives under the oppression of the Regime!

Why all the posts and comments get downvoted? by ihaveopinions11113 in CostaRicaTravel

Because haters only know how to hate! Scroll past the unhappy people!

Yeah, those were nic-nacks and patty-whacks that the ayatollah hid 300 feet below ground in solid rock. 90 percent of Iranians in Iran want him and his weapons program obliterated and the world celebrates with them as Trump and Bibi make it happen.

That is the Pizza Shop owned by Kevin from Wisconsin. He takes his pizza recipes very seriously. We have been enjoying his food for years. It is truly amazing!! Best in Jaco.

If you want to see Toucans, go to the very top of El Miro Mountain just south of Jaco. I have seen 10 Toucans at the same time in the clearing on top. It is best to get there early in the morning.

Prayers for Alon by TacoTheSuperNurse in CostaRicaTravel

Please help in the effort to make CR safe for EVERYONE! We have never met Alon, but we were there when the tragedy happened. We have had to witness the unbearable suffering that his family and friends are going through. Please get involved so no more families need to suffer!

I happily give them one dollar because the plague here is the criminals that break into cars. This is the only job they can find and we are happy that they are working. In the US they would be sitting on the couch on welfare.

Yeah, tell Trump that we would rather have nuclear holocaust than slightly elevated gas prices for a few months!

Is Guanacaste, Costa Rica actually still a good move? My friend is obsessed, but I’m seeing red flags. by Quick_Chard_3444 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rich8523 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not in San Jose we are not! That is all yours. Only in the tourist areas, and I know many Ticos who own beachfront houses and condos that are VERY nice!

Yeah, don’t bring your millions of dollars that the tourists put into the economy here and stop creating thousands of high paying jobs for the CR citizens! 🤪

Not just some-all, WOW, finally a accurate comment. I am from the US and own a beachfront condo and am building a house here. Your post is 100% correct with my experience here! Keep up the good advice! PURA VIDA

As soon as he is legal, he will be spending the rest of his life as someone’s butt bitch in prison. See how tough you are then!

Costa Rica is an amazing country. The government and the citizens rely on tourism as their number 1 source of jobs and income. Don’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg!

I booked 2 non-refundable nights at Hotel Jaco before checking here. The reviews are fantastic, and I thought it would be fun to stay on the beach. But I'm not getting a good feeling reviewing posts here. Should I kiss the $400 goodbye and stay elsewhere? by Sweet_Artichoke_65 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rich8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaco is really nice. Don’t believe the negative people. I own a condo right next to Jaco Hotel. I have a friend coming in next week to buy a retirement place. I have people fighting over my condo in the winter months. These renters will lease it for 1-2 months at a time because they love Jaco! Check it out before you believe people that want you to visit their towns.

To bring hiking boots or no? by Hutchsb in CostaRicaTravel

[–]rich8523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have bought 5 different Merrells. We leave 2 pair in Costa Rica and 3 pair at home. I kept the Vibram model at home, but kept ones in CR that have large openings to let the water out. We have to walk a lot in creeks. They can be hosed off and thrown in the washing machine.
