Testimonials

The key factor that made this project different is that it was done more on the North American level of development both in its construction and ongoing management. Brian did not cut corners as Tico developers are known to do and he delivered what he promised to do.

I would most definitely recommend El Dorado because with the experience that Brian got in RLG the new project should be as good if not even better.

That was the first time we met Brian Timmons and Rudy Matthews. Of all the beautiful homes and condos we saw over that two-day period, we were most impressed with Los Jardines. It was our good luck to be able to return to Costa Rica for two weeks in July of that same year and to be able to rent a unit in Los Jardines. Our stay there was simply wonderful. The unit itself was roomy, well-designed, at the high end of North American standards, nicely furnished and with beautiful, solid built-in cabinets in the living room, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. The grounds of the development are resort-like; very well maintained and simply lush with trees, plants and flowers.

Pat and I swam in both of the pristine swimming pools and grilled on the built-in BBQ in one of the ranchos on the property. The on-site management and maintenance provided by Brian and his partner, Paul Leduc, make a huge, positive difference. Everything works very smoothly. Meeting and spending time with the other residents of Los Jardines was also one of the huge plus points.

We very much enjoyed our leisurely times on our terrace, sharing a coffee, a drink or a cigar with a passing resident. Wednesday evenings were reserved for playing Texas Hold'em in the large rancho. 6-10 residents gather each Wednesday evening for a few hours of socializing and card-playing. It's only $20 per player so nobody gets hurt and even the "big winner" does not walk home rich; happy maybe, but not rich!! Most importantly, I heard not one complaint from any resident. Each resident expressed the conviction that buying at Los Jardines was a great decision and that the lifestyle they enjoyed was all they had hoped for and more.

The support provided by Brian, Paul and Rudy is simply first class; you can't over estimate the value of trust when you are choosing a place to live. Pat and I simply fell in love with Los Jardines. We wanted very much to buy a unit there but we needed three bedrooms.
When we received the open letter to prospective buyers in October, we were thrilled and seized the opportunity to become one of the very first to put in a reservation and wire our earnest money. We hope you will come visit us in building 11A, ground (middle) level, left side in April 2010, when we move in!

In the meantime, feel free to email me at perezm@cod.edu or call me at 630-942-2316 between 7:00am and 3:30pm M-F, Central Time if you want to hear more about Los Jardines and buying at El Dorado.

Note: I am not a paid consultant or employee of El Dorado, just an excited buyer glad to share the good news.

The key factor for me was the landscape, layout of the property, the construction, the size of the houses and the prize/value ratio. Further very important in my decision making process were Brian's weekly reports, which looked genuine and not polished (also mentioning mishaps and delays along the way).

Since my first physical visit my expectations were not only all met, but exceeded up to this day I think it is an exciting place to come home to.

I certainly would recommend other people to buy into Brian's new project - for me he has the perfect vision to meet my comfort level - everything tastefully and well appointed, without going over board, but still staying within a budget

Based on my experience in RLJ, I am sure Hacienda El Dorado will be another master piece. I am leaving for Guanacaste only for personal reasons - I will still keep my two properties in RLJ, as an excellent investment and with the thought to use it for myself at a later time.
