 Anyone have recommendations on places to stay in San Jose or anywhere on the way to Uvita in Costa Rica? Also, looking for recommendations for places to stay in Uvita that have good internet for remote work. Preferably would like to stay somewhere in walking distance to Cafe Vivo and the butcher restaurant (don’t remember the name). 
 You gotta go to La Choza de Allejo. 

I don’t think they take Bitcoin there but the food is certified 🅱️ussin 
 Butcher is Seguras

How long you looking to stay in Uvita for? 
 Planning to come for around 2 weeks possibly more in February for the Bitcoin Freedom Festival 
 Very cool. Currently wrapping up 3 months in Uvita and it has been incredible 🤙🏽 
 Any recommendations for lodging that has fast reliable wifi? 
 We rented a home from a Tico family and didn’t explore other options so no suggestions. Power flickers are common so that makes wifi inherently unreliable but that’s just how it is in Uvita. Tradeoff of being in the jungle

I’m working with a local to build cabins that can offer weekly rates which include bedroom AC, good wifi, a bicycle and a daily coffee at the onsite cafe. What would that be worth to you as a weekly rate in $usd? 
 That would be awesome 
 How much would you pay as a weekly rate? Need to dial in pricing to make some long term projections 
 It depends. I would need more info like exact location and pictures. I’m not that sensitive to price though. I care more about location, decent setup for working (at least one desk and bonus if it’s adjustable standup desk), amenities, etc. 
 Maybe you can look at Awake pricing to get an idea. https://www.awake.cr/accommodation 
 Good call. Will research 
 Good to know. The location, vibes, quality of the cabin and quality of humans on the property are A+

Will be on site at @91ca0b70 

We will compete on experience, not price. Tailor made for Bitcoiners by Bitcoiners 🤙🏽 
 Oh hell yeah. Do they have Muay Thai classes or is it just Jiu Jitsu? 
 They have a bunch of heavy bags and offer striking, BJJ, boxing and strength/mobility. Don’t think they offer Muay Thai specifically but probably wouldn’t be opposed to it if they saw demand and could find a coach. They are also building a cafe and coworking space next year 
 Definitely interested. Keep me updated. 
 Will do 🤙🏽 
 whale tail? 
 cant remember how good their internet was tho. Maybe @paulinthejungle knows? 
 also whaletail was more hostel kinda vibe with a big open shared spare and kitchen which was super nice. No bbq tho for cooking steak 
 I stayed there when I went last time. It was decent, but looking for something a little nicer with at least a desk inside for working. 
 I’m literally the worst at answering this question 
 Haha why? Do you have any opinions on Jaco? I’m thinking of staying there for a couple days. Is the beach break there similar to Playa Hermosa in Uvita? 
 I simply don’t know good airbnbs etc.   I always just end up lucking into a spot.  
Jaco is not my vibe.   But there is a friendly beach break for beginner intermediate surfers.. And there’s also a playa hermosa in Jaco.  That is not a friendly beach break.   Awesome waves there and cool little town.
