LETTER FROM THE OWNERS Impossible not to associate November with Thanksgiving, a change in season, a time to reflect, share and prepare for the coming end of another lap around the sun. While Costa Rica doesn’t have the traditional fall colors and cool sweater weather (unless you venture into the higher elevations), November does represent a time of transitions to our change of the seasons. November is a time that represents the end of our green or rainiest season and we feel the breezes that represent the coming dry season which runs from December through April. The month of November is a magical time to be here as the country is at its most lush glory, still a quieter month in terms of total tourism so there is this magical sense of rebirth and a promise of a coming high season for the touristic driven coastal markets. While Thanksgiving is not a Costa Rican holiday, it has been widely adopted and embraced here in paradise and this year, more than any other, a sense of gratitude for having prospered during the challenges of the past 18 months and a sense of excitement and hope for an amazing season and year ahead are palpable in the collective spirit of this country. Our team and family at 2 Costa Rica Real Estate has been blessed with one of the most successful years on record, as more and more people from around the world realize it is time to start living the lives they have dreamed of for years. Costa Rica’s unique mix of natural beauty, healthy living, peaceful and happy populace, and focus on family and wellbeing is an elixir the whole world desperately needs and we look forward to helping you or those you know looking at opportunities here to make their dreams a reality.

WHAT TO DO IN MANUEL ANTONIO ON A PANDEMIC FRIDAY? The pandemic has changed life for us all in many ways, from the way we travel to the way we shop and socialize. Since the pandemic started, Costa Rica has been working hard to prevent the spread of the disease from large vaccination campaigns (with so far 67.21% already vaccinated [1] ) to migration of certain services into online systems. Restrictions for driving and business operation times have also been imposed, currently restricting cars to drive one day during the weekdays and one of the weekend days, and for driving and places only being able to do so between 5am and 9pm. Driving restrictions do not apply for rental cars. So what do you do on a Friday now? Don’t worry! There are still many things to do in the area that will allow you to enjoy the local scene, gorgeous views and overall beauty that makes Manuel Antonio the magnificent place that it is. Here are a few of our favorites places to hit this coming Friday:

Make sure to try their calamari appetizer, the tuna or shrimp tower or their delicious pollo napolitano.
Farmers Market One of the nicest things to do on a Friday afternoon is to visit the local farmers market. It’s held in downtown Quepos and you can go as early as 3pm. Here you can spot many tropical fruits and vegetables that are endemic to Latin America, and the best, they taste incredible! Forget the bland flavors of the fruit you might have encountered back at home, here you can find the fruit freshly picked and naturally ripened, it will be like nothing you have ever tasted before. Make sure not to miss this experience and don’t worry if you can’t make it on Friday, it’s held until Saturday morning, but make sure to get there early so you don’t miss some of the stands who run out of product or leave earlier.
If you’re not in the mood for food but some good drinks, make sure to try their amazing passion fruit margaritas or Paige’s monster drink. They also have happy hour specials so make sure to ask them for those.
Ape Bar This chic and eclectic bar has an amazing atmosphere and even better food! It’s just a short walk from Café Agua Azul and so you can easily move from one place to another. Most Friday nights they have a DJ (or great music). If you’re a fan of decadent yet affordable food, you are going to love this place! Make sure to try their cheese bourekas, vegetarian carpaccio, dolmas (rice stuffed grape leaves) or
Cafe Agua Azul
Moroccan cigars. All the dishes are designed
This spot is worth visiting for either lunch or dinner. Our recommendation since the pandemic, is to go here for lunch. One, it’s less busy than their dinner service so you won’t risk not being sitted or having to wait too long (they do not take reservations) and two, you can spot the incredible view that the place has to offer and eat some of the best food in Manuel Antonio.
and go from there. Drinks here are also tasty
for sharing so you can start with at least a few and they have plenty of options, from top shelf whiskey to whiskey sours and delicious mojitos. Yes, the pandemic has certainly made the nightlife of Manuel Antonio a bit slower and earlier but certainly not dull, there’s still plenty of cool fun things to do in town.

SOLARIS 203 DESIGNER’S DREAM CONDO | SANTA ANA Every so often, a development comes along that truly stands out.

We often describe the development as the Four Seasons or Ritz of the residential condo market, as beyond the space within each residence. It’s location is advantageous as it combines an exclusive and private location with no road congestion or noise, as well as a convenient access to any and all of the area amenities in Escazu and Santa Ana.
