"Expats considering retirement in Corn Islands should be aware that Spanish is the primary language spoken, although English Creole is also widely spoken. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. Healthcare facilities on the islands are basic, so serious medical conditions may require travel to the mainland or even out of the country. The islands have a tropical climate with a rainy season from May to November, which can sometimes result in hurricanes. The infrastructure is not as developed as in some other countries, which can lead to occasional power outages and water shortages. The Corn Islands are known for their relaxed pace of life, which can be a major draw for some retirees, but those seeking a bustling social scene may find it lacking. The islands are also quite remote, which can make travel to and from the mainland time-consuming and expensive. Property rights can be complex in Nicaragua, so it's crucial to work with a reputable local attorney when buying property. It's also important to note that while the islands are generally safe, petty crime can be an issue, so it's important to take standard precautions to protect your belongings. Finally, while Nicaragua does offer a retiree residency program with tax incentives, it's important to fully understand the requirements and potential drawbacks before making a decision," remarked another expat who made the move to Corn Islands, Nicaragua.
