  • Comments of the owners about buying new chairs...

    1- GF5 Quote - Probably, better  to buy chairs made in C-R and change them every 1,5 years.. As I remember, the old stuff looked very ugly and not only fabric.... And, it seems to me,  these days are the time  to minimize owner's expenses. - GF5 Owner, Natalia - Unquote.

     2 - GF8 Quote - I agree I think we should go with the number 1 option. After all you get what you pay for. GF8 Owner, Jason - Unquote.

    3 - GF1 Quote - We vote for option #1.   GF1 owner, Judith - Unquote

    4- GF28 Quote -  Cheap plastic. Nice ones could be stolen. Plastic can be power washed and repainted every year. GF28 Owner - Scott - Unquote.
    Manager's comment: To power wash the chairs, we would need to have a power washer which is here in CR is at least US$450-500. To repaint the plastic??? I don't think it's a good idea.

    5 - GF18 and 26   Quote - I am ok with option #1 - GF18 and 26 owner, Yelena - Unquote.

    6 - GF10 Quote - I would vote for option one and the better quality chairs. -  GF10 owner, Kevin - Unquote.

    7 - GF27 Quote -  For us, we prefer the option number 1. And the decision of the majority will be mine.  - GF27 - André.

    8 - GF3 Quote -  It is OK for me for the option 1, but i would like, if the chairs break, you do something to fix it and no to put these in the garbage I am owner here and i want chair in GOOD shape, the respect of the environment is for all the people here, especially, it is important to respect that for the people who renting studio. GF3 Owner - Manon

  • We need to buy new lounge chairs for Green Forest!

    Hi guys,
    It has been three and a half years since we bought the lounge chairs for the pool area and we have been trying to maintain them carefully. In the last year, we have been trying to patch them and repair, but by now they are completely ruined.

    The frame is still fine, but the fabric is gone. We have tryed to find the fabric alone, so that we could repair it, but it appears that this kind of durable chairs are not produced in Costa Rica and therefore no replacement fabric is available.

    To make it short, we need to buy at least six new chairs as we have received a lot of complaints about it from the owners and tenants recently.

    There's a few options to consider.

    1. We can buy the same chairs and know that at least for 3 years we are fine. The cost is US$230 per piece or US$1,380.00 in total or US$46.00 per studio unit;

    2. We can buy a very bad copy of the the above chairs made in Costa Rica at US$115.00 per piece or US$690.00 in total or US$23 per studio unit. I have looked at all options and from the look of it these chairs probably not going to last for more than a year;

    3. We can buy white plastic chairs which are about the same price US$115.00 per piece or US$23 per studio unit. These onece are OK, but after 8-9 months they tent to loose colour and get a really ugly - dirty look and you can not do anything about it.

    Please write to me which option you would prefer us to go with.

    The current state of the chairs pictures is available here:

  • New Washing Machine for Green Forest

    Hi guys,

    As per our email a few weeks ago regarding buying a new washing machine for Green Forest of Coco Beach community:-

    After the last repair, the washing machine finally died beyond repairs and we had to buy a new one.

    We bought a semi-industrial Whirlpool machine for US$525.00, which make a charge of US$17.50 per unit. This charge will be reflected on your next statement.

    The original of the sales invoice is available in our Green Forest office and the copy could be found as an attachment with this message.

    Best regards,
    Administration
