What do I need to know before moving to Puerto Armuelles?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Puerto Armuelles, they said:

"Puerto Armuelles is a small coastal town in Panama, located on the Pacific Ocean. It is known for its laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals. Expats should be aware that the town is quite isolated, with limited access to amenities and services. English is not widely spoken, so it is important to learn some Spanish before moving to Puerto Armuelles. The cost of living is relatively low, but the infrastructure is not as developed as in other parts of Panama.
