New Theater in Jaco Beach!

Teatro Jacó, a new theatrical production company, based in Costa Rica, presented its opening show in the exciting beach town of Jacó. “Jamaica Farewell,” is an award-winning, one-woman autobiographical show written and performed by Jamaican Debra Ehrhardt. The show opened Jan. 27th in the rooftop bar at Jacó’s Canciones del Mar Hotel.

Daystar Properties in Jaco, is constructing a 150-seat theater in their Ocean Center cultural facility, and with this opening of that establishment, Teatro Jacó will be able to flourish.

Darren Lee Cole, the creator of the Jaco Theater Company, said future plans for Teatro Jacó include creating performing arts programs in local schools, as well as a community theater group. He said the group wants to build relationships in the artistic community and expand its audience by producing bilingual shows and performing on alternate nights or weekends. Cole is not yet certain of what Teatro Jacó’s next show will be, however he said he is hopeful it will be in English and Spanish.

Fractional Real Estate in Costa Rica

Fractional ownership is basically a percentage share of an expensive asset. The title or deed is legally divided into shares and sold to individual owners. Typically there is a management company that manages the assets on behalf of the individual owners.

This form of Ownership allows for much of the flexibility and usage benefits offered in timeshare, however, the essential difference between the two is that in fractional ownership the buyer owns part of the title, whereas in a timeshare the buyer owns units of time.

Mezzanine Structure: This type of fractional ownership involves creating a company that owns the property then allowing multiple owners or investors to own individual shares in that company. The benefit of this structure is that it allows transfer of shares without the need to reflect changes on the title or deed.

Private Residence Club: These luxury Residence Clubs provide the services and amenities of five star hotels because most are operated by well-respected hospitality companies that are renown worldwide for their world-class resorts. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about maintenance, housekeeping or repairs, because everything is included in the annual price and taken care of by the management company.

Great Example: The Palms Private Residence Club in Playa Flamingo offers 32 two-story ocean side residences. Club members receive deeded ownership of real estate; high-end residence architecture and interior design; and unlimited, flexible usage in accordance with reservation privileges that have been tailored to the seasonality of the market and the typical usage patterns of the intended buyers.
