I haven’t been, but do appreciate that temperature / climate is good for a long season. Over supply of holiday rental accommodation is my main concern when it comes to Egypt. I’m not overly enamoured with pictures I have seen of developments and their views either. Many sea view developments look over concrete jungles towards the sea. (Those developments have been on hills perhaps 0.5k to 1k from the sea. They looked out over rather high density developments beneath (be they residential apartments or other hotels) and didn’t have anything to differentiate them from other developments. They weren’t for me.)

Troyano. Didn’t read all of your post, but can see it is well written and informative (perhaps helped by my lack of knowledge of Costa Rica!)

One of the main risks for investors in this region will be hurricanes. I appreciate any such problems will apply to the East coast, but please tell us what you can about hurricanes affecting Cost Rica and provide links that will help alleviate people’s fears.
