We have to admit that Costa Rica has no shortage of fantastic beaches to enjoy. With more than 300 different beaches along two different coastlines and a choice of white, black or brown coloration, we dare anyone to say that they can't find their perfect beach vacation in our country.

International Private Residence Club Consultancy Brings
Sales & Marketing Expertise to Exclusive Costa Rica Property
Leading Private Residence Club consultancy, Peter Kempf International (PKI), announced it has been awarded the exclusive sales and marketing contract for The Palms Private Residence Club, located on renowned Flamingo Beach on Costa Rica’s coveted Gold Coast.
Steps from the sand and with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, The Palms is a luxury getaway and the only beachfront private residence club in all of Costa Rica. PKI President & CEO Peter Kempf noted, "We have earned a reputation for being highly selective, and our portfolio includes some of the most iconic clubs ever created,” said Kempf. “As soon as we arrived at The Palms, we looked at each other and knew that this was the equal of any club anywhere in the world.”
Kempf is experienced with exotic resort properties – PKI is the exclusive representative of the Private Residence Club Industry on The Board of Regents, the governing body of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, the worldwide network of elite luxury real estate brokerage firms.
Kempf said the project – a collection of 32 two-story ocean side residences - represents a great opportunity for both PKI and buyers. “There is no finer beach in Costa Rica, the grounds are lushly landscaped, the villas are beautiful, the construction is the epitome of attention to detail and the hypnotic views run to the horizon, “ he said. “The fortunate few who will become Club members are in for one heck of a treat."
For The Palms development, PKI has partnered with fellow Board of Regents Executive Committee member Todd Cutter of the highly respected San Jose brokerage 2Costa Rica Real Estate.
“For years developers have been flirting with the idea of residence clubs, but have lacked the right location, the right product, and the right team to bring it to the forefront,” said Cutter “With successful residence clubs in the world’s finest destinations, PKI brings to The Palms an unprecedented track record, which combined with the unmatched beauty of this property, is a recipe for success.”
The Palms was developed by Spence Enterprises, and according to partner and CFO Robert Reddy, PKI was the right fit for the project. “We had a goal of being the finest beach front resort development in Costa Rica. We also sought out the best sales organization to market our private residence club. We surveyed the entire market, attended trade shows, and interviewed several sales and marketing organizations. Peter Kempf International clearly has the most experience, highest sales results, finest reputation, and best personnel in the industry for premier private residence clubs. That made selecting them as our partner easy.”
PKI will be responsible for the Club’s overall structure, sales, marketing and global reciprocal-use alliances, and will be installing their Clearview Express™ Lead Response Management Program, a proprietary system Kempf said is designed to improve fractional sales organizations’ lead generation and conversion rates while reducing marketing expenses.
The Palms project represents what Kempf said is a true, proven private residence club concept, meeting certain key criteria: Club members receive deeded ownership of real estate; high-end residence architecture and interior design; and unlimited, flexible usage in accordance with reservation privileges that have been tailored to the seasonality of the market and the typical usage patterns of the intended buyers.
Sales are underway at The Palms Private Residence Club, which is less than an hour’s drive from Liberia’s international airport, making the Flamingo beach area popular with divers, game fisherman and golfers.
