"The most challenging aspects of retiring in Nicaragua can include a lack of access to services and medical care, inadequate infrastructure in some areas, and the potential for political instability. English is not widely spoken in most parts of the country, which can make it difficult to communicate with locals. The cost of living in Nicaragua is generally lower than in many other countries, but there are still considerable expenses associated with establishing a new home. Finally, the climate can be extreme, with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year, which may not be suitable for all retirees," commented one expat who made the move to Nicaragua.

"Language has been a challenge though it is getting better. It is harder to teach an old dog new tricks. Bank ATMs and the Internet has certainly made living overseas easier. It is a challenge to get documents sent from the USA reliably. Expats that move to third world countries tend to be type A personalities so relationships are a bit more difficult to develop," remarked another expat in Granada, Nicaragua.
