Best Places In The World To Retire

The dental care in Puerto Vallarta is incredible. I have found the best dentist I’ve ever had in my entire life here in Puerto Vallarta and I’m 60 years old. He’s wonderful. I don’t feel any pain. He does incredible work for caps, bridges; all sorts of dental work. It’s just super. Personally, I’ve had a great dental experience here and I recommend my dentist to anybody who comes down here.

The cost for dental work here in Puerto Vallarta is extremely inexpensive compared to what you pay in the US. A cleaning would be around 150 pesos (US $8). A bleaching process would be around 1,000 or 800 pesos (US $46 to $57). I haven’t had a cap done or anything like that for a long time so I can’t remember what those cost, other than the cost is extremely inexpensive when you compare it to US rates. 

 

I’ve never heard of anybody who has had a bad experience with a dentist here in Puerto Vallarta.

2. Finishes such as floor tiles, ceiling, plumbing fixtures and so on, are things that depend on what the client wants and style of home that he is looking for. There are a lot of esthetic solutions and a whole range of prices depending on what and where you buy. This is were you can balance the property cost and save some money.

Businesses in Portugal are transacted regularly. My perception is that small businesses don’t tend to be bought by external investors. Sometimes external investors will make an investment into a business but they wouldn’t tend to buy a small business. Large businesses, however, including state-run businesses and utilities, have been increasingly put up in order to obtain foreign investment. We have a lot of Chinese investments into what are essentially state-run businesses and private partnerships in the energy sector, the health sector, the transportation sector, and the power distribution sector. 
 
You can buy businesses here in Portugal. It is very transparent. It is market-lead and you could buy or start a business in many ways in the entire country.

You will definitely sense some sort of freedom, away from some people you don´t want to be around, more time to manage in your own way, or even time to pick up a new hobby, say golfing.

Every day may be a learning day for you on many different things.  New home, new environment, new friend, new system, new language may certainly add some sort of excitement to your daily living.

Public transportation in Placencia is consistent with it being located in a developing country.
 
It’s safe to ride the bus in Placencia but you cannot expect it to run on time. If, for example, you need to get to a dinner event at a specific time, it’s best to give yourself a lot of extra time so you won’t be late. In Placencia, there is only one road in and out, which is paved and pretty good.
