Golf is getting more popular now in Nicaragua. There are not a lot of places to go to play golf but there are a couple of places in Managua where usually people go on weekends but you can go there at any day and take golfing classes.

Golf is getting more popular now in Nicaragua. There are not a lot of places to go to play golf but there are a couple of places in Managua where usually people go on weekends but you can go there at any day and take golfing classes.

 

However, in general, golf is not yet big in Nicaragua. There are only two very nice places in the whole country where you can play golf, though it is not yet well developed. There is a very big touristic place in Rivas called Guacalito de La Isla (or Mukul), located in the southern part of Nicaragua near San Juan del Sur. It is owned by the Pellas family. They have the best golf course to play in Central America. They just spent millions of dollar doing that. It’s a touristic place where you can go fishing and play golf.

Starting a business in Portugal can be relatively simple because Portugal has an “On The Hour” facility whereby you can walk into a government department and basically set up a company in an hour.

 

Once you get the company running, that’s the only time the problem starts, because the bureaucracy comes in. It’s easy to start a business but it’s the rules after that which makes it a bit frustrating.

Marbella is located in the busy center of Panama City.  The streets are usually full of traffic during the day as people would use it as a bypass to cross from one principal avenue to another.  People who don't like to drive can do their daily chores on foot, but have to watch out for the cars passing by.  For someone who lives in Marbella and needs to drive, it´s not an easy task to try to get home during rush hour.

Marbella is occupied mostly by middle class people.  The lifestyle is casual, simple, and carefree; nobody will give you a strange look if you walk in to a pharmacy with your shorts and T-shirt.  Of course, most of the Panamanians still keep their culture to dress up when going out (no matter it´s to the supermarket); somehow it doesn´t happen as much as in Marbella.   

In Corozal, you can get a vacation rental for US $40, but it may not have hot water, Internet, or air conditioning. If you want something that has air conditioning, Internet, and hot water in Corozal, you would have to pay about US $100 minimum per night. There aren’t any hotels in Corozal.

These are rentals you’ll find through VRBO, Airbnb, HomeAway, etc. A lot of Belizean houses don’t have windows, and this poses a problem among expats. Most Belizean houses that expats rent just have open-air shutters and don’t have air conditioning or Internet connection. These are concrete houses. The $40 rentals are something like that. 

 

There are also nice homes in Corozal. For example, Consejo Shores is a nice community that has lots of expat homes that are for rent, like a vacation rental. In Consejo Shores, they charge about US $100 - $150 or more per night. Some expats rent these homes for a month, and the price goes down the longer you stay. For example, if it costs $150 a night, it would cost $850 a week, $1,400 for 2 weeks, and then for a month it would cost $2,500.
