Why Costa Rica and VidaCosta Spa el Puente
Costa Rica is rapidly emerging as a premier vacation and tourist destination.
Costa Rica has a 94 percent literacy rate, the oldest and most stable democracy in Central America, and does not have a military.
We have acquired a strategic property with Pacific Ocean views in, Guanacaste province, Costa Rica for our VidaCosta Spa el Puente.
We are uniquely positioned to manage the development and build-out process through an extensive partnership of Costa Ricanbased companies and resources.
VidaCosta is seeking a financial partner who shares our mission and vision.

VSP is a smoke-and alcohol-free environment
VSP will use only electric and compressed air vehicles on the premises
We will maximize the use of solar- and windpower energy sources, rainwater harvesting, and geothermal

VSP will use all organic mattresses, linens, towels, and environmentally-safe laundry products, exclusively
VSP Summary This multi-faceted project - spa, clinic, products, and committed therapists - is original and ambitious. Our mission is to create an environment that deals with the causes of illness. We are a model for a more comprehensive approach to health and well-being that does not merely focus on symptoms that are addressed by the present spa industry and modern medicine. We feel our innovative spa concept will draw a diverse group of individuals and families who will be attracted to our proven results-oriented approach. In preparation for the development of this project, Don Reid, Ed Seeton and his family have resided in Costa Rica and are intimately connected to local construction companies, the legal network, and architectural firms.
