The gated communities and resort developments where people actually buy — what each offers, who it fits, and the homes for sale in each right now.
Town pages tell you where to live; these pages tell you what you are actually buying into. Every community below is one I show and sell in. HOA fees, rental rules and construction guidelines change and are rarely published, so where a number matters I confirm the current figure directly rather than quoting a stale one.
I'm Tiago Leao, a luxury real estate agent with KRAIN Luxury Real Estate in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Golf or surf, gated quiet or walk-to-dinner, full-time or rental — tell me what your life here looks like and I'll narrow these communities to the two or three actually worth flying down to see. Then I organize the tours, the questions worth asking about HOA fees and rules, and — when you're ready — the independent professionals the purchase needs.
Every message goes straight to my phone — no team inbox, no handoff.
