You need to speak Spanish fluently and be prepared for a different culture. Also, hurricanes are a frequent problem and you should be ready for them.

Consider the local economy. Investigate immigration law and what is required in the way of a visa. You likely will not be able to work, at least not above board. Remember that being a tourist and being a resident are vastly different.
