What do people like (and dislike) about Sarteneja?
When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Sarteneja, they replied...
"Expats and digital nomads enjoy the peaceful and laid-back lifestyle in Sarteneja. They appreciate the natural beauty of the area, including the stunning beaches, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. The local community is friendly and welcoming, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many other countries, which is a big plus for those on a budget. The local cuisine, which features fresh seafood and tropical fruits, is another highlight. However, there are also some downsides to living in Sarteneja. The remote location can make it difficult to access certain amenities and services, such as high-speed internet, which is a significant drawback for digital nomads. The healthcare facilities are basic, and serious medical issues may require travel to a larger city. The local economy is primarily based on fishing and agriculture, which means there are limited job opportunities for expats. The hot and humid climate can also be uncomfortable for those not used to tropical weather. Lastly, while the slow pace of life is a draw for some, others may find it too quiet and lacking in entertainment options," said another in Sarteneja, Belize.
