Escape Villas Announces Innovative Chef Service in Costa Rica Villa Rentals
Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (PRWEB) July 06, 2011
The Escape Villas Chefs have introduced a selection of tasty new treats for guests who stay in their exclusive Costa Rica vacation rentals. The highly recommended Escape Villas Chef Service in Costa Rica combines the expertise of professional culinary artists with an innovative selection of delectable dishes.
Fresh seafood, locally sourced organic produce and the finest select cuts form part of the diverse Escape Villas Chef service menu. There is no doubt that the Chef Service team is accomplished at serving up a series of delicious meals in their exclusive Costa Rica villas. Vacationers who have opted for the Escape Villas Chef Service whilst staying in Costa Rica villa rentals agree that the versatile menu, professionalism of the chefs and personalized service ensured that their break in this beach and sun paradise was hassle free.
Escape Villas serves up menu packed with tantalizing culinary delights
Head Chef Stéphane De Pascali has added some appetizing new dishes to the Escape Villas Chef Services menu. Specializing in a fusion of European and Asian cuisine, with its delicious taste and vibrant colors, De Pascali has introduced a Coconut shrimp dish in a tangy ginger sauce and freshly caught Dorado with sesame combined with a tasty sauce vierge. Chicken breast with honey sauce, juicy pork loin with raisin chutney, seasoned jumbo shrimp with heart of palm, Thai seasoned tender beef loin and a mouth-watering passion fruit mousse complete the revamped carte du jour. Head Chef De Pascali explains, “We offer a complete menu with a variety of delicious dishes and if the client wants something different then we are happy to prepare the dish of their choice.”
Enjoy a hassle free Costa Rica vacation with the ultimate in gourmet cuisine
Marilynne Leadon stayed in an Escape Villas vacation rental, Casa Carpe Diem, in Manuel Antonio for one week in June 2011 with her family. Mrs. Leadon explains her decision to opt for the chef service in Costa Rica, “We chose the Chef Service for a number of reasons. First, eating out at restaurants takes a lot of time and money. We wanted to be able to relax in the morning and evening after our excursions. I cook a lot at home and love cooking, but I wanted a vacation as well! I didn’t want to spend time grocery shopping and cooking; I wanted to have fun with my family. It was more convenient, and elevated our experience to a vacation and not just a trip.”
Mrs. Leadon praised Escape Villas Chef, Chris Thebault’s culinary skills, “He and I met after breakfast each morning and created the menu for dinner that night and breakfast the next day. Then he went shopping and put the groceries in the kitchen. He came back in the afternoon to prep the food and then served us when we were ready. He put fresh flowers on the table every day. He gave me a standard list of what he could prepare, but we generally just talked about what was fresh, in season, and good in the grocery store. I had a blast creating menus with him and then I didn’t even have to cook, just eat!”
A graduate of the School of Le Nôtre in Paris, France, Chef Thebault has worked in some of the finest restaurants around the globe. His newest additions to the Escape Villas menu include, Thai Green Curry with fish, chicken or vegetables, freshly caught Red Snapper Caribbean Style, Green Plantain Ceviche and Tarta Tatin, a French specialty made with caramelized apples and cinnamon.
Escape Villas’ new menu and chef service in Costa Rica vacation rentals
The new additions to the Escape Villas menu have proved popular with Costa Rica vacation rental clients and the team’s professional approach has assured their services are frequently requested and Mrs. Leadon is just one of many happy vacationers who agrees, “Would I recommend this? Absolutely. I am going to look into having a chef service for our next overseas trip.”

Costa Rica Invest Announces a Price Rise of 31% in Finca Di Pacifico Dos, their Unique Teak and Development Land Opportunity
Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) July 8, 2009
Costa Rica Invest’s premier project Finca Di Pacifico Dos is an ideally located teak plantation overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya and on the Pan-American Highway halfway between the two international airports of San Jose and Liberia. The land is currently being subdivided on the Cadastral (land registry) and each lot will come with permission to construct one holiday villa.
A teak plantation with 12 to 14 year old teak Finca Di Pacifico Dos represents an ideal investment or future development opportunity.
The returns from the teak growing on each development lot provides a secure return whilst the land has the potential to provide spectacular returns or the lot owner can develop their own holiday villa on their own piece of paradise.
In line with other land prices and progress towards cadastral registration prices in Finca Di Pacifico Dos have increased by between 21% and 31%.
The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, a research and advisory company providing country, industry and management analysis worldwide, has published a study titled “Manning the Barricades, who’s at risk as deepening economic distress foments social unrest” In this report the no 1. emerging economy in Central America, Costa Rica, is ranked the 7th most politically and socially stable country in the world. In this report The Economist issued a detailed forecast outlining the current world economic crisis and its possible effects on political stability in 165 countries worldwide. Within the report individual countries where ranked for vulnerability to political instability.
Costa Rica is still a developing nation but with more teachers than policemen, ranked 5th in the world in terms of environmental performance, plans to be carbon neutral as a nation by 2021, no army, and a stable democracy it represents an incredible investment opportunity.
Costa Rica also boasts a stable national banking system that didn’t get involved in the high-risk lending practices experienced in other countries.
Of course the Costa Rican economy has not been unaffected by global economic conditions but Costa Rica’s stability continues to attract foreign investment, and has kept domestic and foreign driven construction projects online even as funding sources have become more conservative. The IMF predicts that Costa Rica will recover quickly from the Global Financial Crises and Costa Rica Invest offers a unique opportunity to invest in and benefit from Costa Rica’s future growth.
James Cahill, Managing Director, comments on the Economist Intelligence Unit report “whilst many people may be surprised to see that Costa Rica features as the 7th most politically stable country worldwide with one of the lowest chances of social unrest being caused by the current global economic conditions, it comes as no surprise to us. Costa Rica is the principal emerging economy in Central America building on many years of stable democracy. This stability and security will encourage further inward investment into Costa Rica, further economic growth and ensure further great returns for our investors. Finca Di Pacifico Dos is now 83% sold as more investors become aware of the incredible medium term investment opportunity which we offer.”
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also has very positive news about Costa Rica with Miquel Savastano, Assistant Director of the IMF (International Monetary Funds) Western Hemisphere region, predicting that Costa Rica will be one of the first countries whose economies will recover in 2010. He bases these predictions on the sound financial and fiscal policies of the Costa Rican Government and Costa Rican central bank whose fiscal policies the IMF fully endorses.
More positive news comes from Nicolas Eyazaguirre, Director of the IMF Western Hemisphere region who is quoted as saying “Latin America in general will experience a quicker recovery than the larger economies” because “many countries in the region have responded to the crises with policies that boost production and employment. The outstanding feature being that six months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, no Latin American financial system has experienced a banking crisis. Liquidity is good and Latin American banks have little dependence on foreign financing.”
In December 2008 the IMF reported about Costa Rica “the country can confront the challenging global environment from a position of relative strength. The prudent fiscal stance of recent years provides the authorities with some room for maneuver”
Costa Rica Invest specialises in eco-friendly, ethical, high yield investments. All projects are based in the best locations in Costa Rica, consisting of plots of development land with an environmentally friendly angle. Their current development in ‘Di Pacifico Dos’ combines a teak commodity investment traded in USD on plots of land zoned for development. With a double investment in locations where land prices are increasing rapidly, backed by a sound commodity that is constantly ‘growing’, is it any wonder they have so many repeat investors creating wealth naturally?

Pura Verde Costa Rica Properties Announces Latest Ocean View Real Estate Property to be Certified and Branded
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) March 3, 2010
Dave Matluck, chief executive officer for Pegasus Star Limitada, the developer of Hacienda Matapalo and marketer of Pura Verde Costa Rica Properties, announced recently that the latest ocean view real estate property in Costa Rica to receive the Pura Verde brand and be certified as such is Finca de la Rana Roja, aka Red Frog Farm.
Located just a few kilometers from Hacienda Matapalo and a 10 minute ride from Quepos, where amenities, goods and services are plenty, Red Frog Farm is an exclusive, private community set in lush tropical surroundings. This quality development features stunning, unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Savegre River, Osa peninsula, Cano Island, Manuel Antonio National Park and captivating sunsets.
With developer financing available with 20% down, each home site includes a building pad with water and electric in place for immediate construction. Executive Lots start at $ 88,000 USD while 2.5 acre Estate Lots start at $ 260,000 USD.
“Once a property has been branded a Pura Verde Costa Rica property, this means that the property can be purchased with the confidence of knowing that the same due diligence that went into Hacienda Matapalo was performed by a team of experts in researching every possible element of these properties,” said Matluck. “This means that all of the legal, environmental and engineering issues pertaining to these properties are being ‘certified’ as having been thoroughly researched and determined to be in order.”
Most importantly, Pura Verde means that these properties are in complete compliance with all the environmental laws and regulations that are designed to protect the environment from any semblance of abuse.
“Our goal is to support sustainable development that guarantees that the South and Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica remain pristine and free from any man-made harm,” Matluck said. “After all, that is what draws us all to Costa Rica; the awe we experience of living in and with nature in all its splendor.”
In a relatively short period of time, Hacienda Matapalo has become Costa Rica’s premier planned gated community thanks to both the knowledge of its executive team and due diligence as performed by its strategic legal, engineering and ecological partners. Unlike their competition, this extraordinary attention to detail has enabled the Hacienda Matapalo team to protect both its investment and investors and rewrite the standards by which successful communities in Costa Rica are planned.
With this successful formula in place, Hacienda Matapalo has formed an alliance with a few hand selected developers who live up to these standards. Aside from Hacienda Matapalo and Red Frog Farm, other properties that have received the Pura Verde brand include Tierra Verde Uvita, Finca La Principessa D’il Mare and Casa Big Sur.
Due to environmental issues and ecological sensitivity, development along the South and Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica will be very limited. Because the area will remain relatively undeveloped, it becomes an ideal setting for those individuals who seek homeownership in a more rural area and Pura Verde Costa Rica Properties has several options available for those who are looking.

Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) February 6, 2007
Kubera Venture Capital Group, LLC, (www.kuberavc.com) a privately held real estate investment and development firm, today announced an alliance with Stewart Title Costa Rica, providing services for buyers of its gated residential community, Jade Azul, in Nosara, Costa Rica. (www.jadeazul.com) Stewart Title and Kubera will work together to offer Jade Azul buyers title insurance and local financing options for the community’s homes.
Nestled in the Nosara jungle, Jade Azul is a Balinese-inspired residential community that will offer a mix of single-family villas, ocean-view condominiums, and commercial amenities. Construction is currently ongoing, with the first phase of 10 villas nearly completed. Pre-construction sales for additional villas and condominiums are underway for delivery in early- to mid-2008. Pre-construction pricing for the jungle- and mountain-view villas ranges from $ 180,000-$ 225,000 for 1-story villas and $ 195,000-$ 240,000 for 2-story villas, with actual prices dependent upon lot sizes. Pre-construction pricing for 180-degree ocean view condominiums starts in the high $ 200s.
The relationship between Jade Azul and Stewart Title Costa Rica will provide homebuyers the opportunity to purchase title insurance and explore financing options from a legitimate, well-established source in Costa Rican real estate. Kush Wadhwa, Partner of Kubera Venture Capital Group, stated, “We are extremely pleased to announce our relationship with Stewart Title Costa Rica. Purchasing foreign real estate can be a difficult and stressful experience. However, Stewart Title’s international presence, extensive experience, and impeccable reputation in the Costa Rican real estate market remove much of the peril associated with foreign investment and should instill confidence in Jade Azul homeowners that their purchase is secure, legitimate, and they are receiving the utmost in quality and service.”
In addition to providing title insurance services, Stewart Title is also offering special financing programs to Jade Azul buyers. Stewart Title’s strong relationships with local Costa Rican banks allows Jade Azul buyers to pursue mortgage financing, using their Jade Azul property as collateral, with competitive terms and interest rates. This is a unique opportunity for homeowners, as most Costa Rican banks will typically not offer mortgage financing to non-residents. Omar Ayales, the General Manager of the Stewart Title Guanacaste office, stated, “Our innovative financing programs are a wonderful resource for buyers looking to purchase real estate in Costa Rica. We are thrilled to be able to offer Jade Azul buyers the opportunity to pursue their dreams of living in a tropical paradise.”

San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) May 24, 2005
GoVisitCostaRica.com announces a summer itinerary of Costa Rican adventures and activities.
Have you ever wanted to zip through the rainforest canopy like Sean Connery in the “Medicine Man?” If so, then Costa Rica and its famous Canopy Tours can offer you your dream vacation. The activities in the small yet beautifully diverse country of Costa Rica don’t stop there the country offers hundreds of different types of activities to do on your Costa Rica vacation. They range from Canopy Tours and hiking the rainforest to surfing and white water rafting. For the golf lover Costa Rica is host to a variety of courses throughout the country.
Canopy Tours have recently become one of the most popular activities in Costa Rica. On the tour, you are hoisted up to a platform in a tree about 50 feet up, securely tied to a zip line and then sent flying to another platform in a tree via a zip line. The small Quaker community of Monteverde is where the first Canopy Tours began, and have since spread out all over the country. This is truly an adrenaline filled experience that should not be missed.
July is a great month to experience some of the more traditionally popular activities like surfing and white water rafting. Surfing peaks on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica; this is when swells from the South Pacific produce some of the biggest and best waves of the year. These waves come into beaches like Pavones and Matapalo as well as beaches in the north like Tamarindo and Playa Grande just to mention a few.
White Water Rafting is also great at this time of the year. The rivers are overflowing from the previous months of rain and, in July the weather clears up from the rainy season and forms what is known as the “Veranito” or the little summer in Costa Rica.
Sportfishing is another popular activity in Costa Rica. The months of June and July on the Pacific and the Caribbean Coast are the best times to experience this deep ocean activity. There are many types of fish catch ranging from Dorado, Wahoo, Roosterfish and Tarpon.
Costa Rica is a country rich with nature and where there is nature there is adventure. Adventure Travel activities in and around Costa Rica are so plentiful you are sure not to run out of things to do.
