El Coco Welcomes New Shops, Restaurants & Banking

Exciting new commerce has come to paradise! El Coco residents and vacationers may now enjoy the convenience of new restaurants, major retail shopping and banking in town, enhancing existing alternatives already available

In recent days, two large grocery stores have opened, making El Coco home to three major groceries—a rarity for a village of this size. Additionally, a new bank is now in business, becoming the third banking center for the area. The popular chain Subway has opened its doors, bringing tasty options to the area.

As major developers and businesses continue to invest in the region, we have a clear gauge for the anticipated growth of the area. PDLP has long had the vision for El Coco, and we strive to ensure the history, spirit and culture of this Costa Rican village is preserved even as we make the most of new opportunities.

Liberia Airport is Really Taking Off!

El Coco is serviced by the easily-accessible, ever-improving Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia. The convenience of the Liberia airport is just one of the key advantages for vacationers and residents in Guanacaste. For several years, this international hub has offered increased options and flight times for air travelers, and now the positive news continues.

The Daniel Oduber International Airport has recently announced several important updates:

• New Duty-free Shop – ideally located in the airport terminal, a handy alternative for last-minute souvenir shopping
• Upgrades to runway and passenger plane parking area – thinking ahead to accommodate increased numbers of planes routing travelers in and out of Liberia
• Major additions and renovations by 2010 – plans are in the works to herald major advancements for the Liberia airport, in anticipation of half a million tourists by 2010

The best news is that local leaders are prioritizing infrastructure to ensure the airport grows wisely with an emphasis on the safety and comfort of travelers. Of course, airport improvements will only enhance the commerce and tourism of the entire Guanacaste region, including El Coco and the Playas de las Palmas properties!
