I think what CR really needs is a 20% to 30% devaluation in the colon, which is in the cards down the road from what I can see.

Yes I know the colon has been pretty good, only dropped 6% in the last year, compared to a lot of other currencies (COP, ARS and we won't mention the mighty Chavez ooops I mean Venezuelan bolivar, hahahahaha)

But it looks to me like the government here is catching the dreaded latin American lefty disease, and so a devaluation is surely in the cards, it's a question of when, not if.

30% off chica rates and everything else would do a lot to help us gringos out.

My first trip to the DEl Rey Labor Day 2001 and it was packed every night by 8pm. Across the street from the Blue Marlin was another bar that was full. The Key Largo wasn't owned by the DR then and very few chicas with men bartenders kind of a sleazy dark place.

Have to agree with you completely...the Banco Central has been able to magically, read artificially, maintain the colon exchange rate within a minimal range to the dollar for several years, regardless of a changing macro environment and interest rates. This has made CR a very expensive option, when compared to all its neighbors, even Panama lately (and they use $$ as their currency). This will surely blow up sometime in the not too distant future!

Looking forward to that, I will be waiting to jump on some cheap colones.
