In Marbella you will find a true sense of peace, harmony and tranquility that cannot be described until you experience it for yourself. The people of Costa Rica are truly the most magnificent individuals I have ever met. Very kind and super friendly people with warm welcoming hearts. I am greeted daily with a handshake and always a big smile! There is a genuine love between the natives and myself. For this reason, I am here. The Costa Rican lifestyle is best described as “Pura Vida” which means the pure life.” Jeff Allen, Marbella resident since 2002
