"Expats in San Juan del Sur often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Many locals speak only Spanish, and even those who do speak English may not be fluent. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand for those who are not familiar with them. Expats may also find the slower pace of life in San Juan del Sur to be a challenge, as it can be difficult to adjust to the more relaxed lifestyle. Finally, the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure can be a challenge for expats who are used to more developed cities," remarked another expat in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
