Buying a Home on Peninsula Papagayo

Peninsula Papagayo is a resort peninsula, not a town, and much of its land is protected, so new building is limited. Property here falls under a concession framework set up for the Gulf of Papagayo, which is different from standard titled land, so have your agent and attorney explain the terms before you make an offer.

The peninsula suits buyers who put privacy, service and security first, including those who arrive by private plane or keep a boat at the marina. Compare branded and independent homes carefully: ask what each requires in club membership, management and rental participation.
