Yes it’s pretty bad at the moment with no real possibility of improvement on the horizon, we’re hearing that there are currently 3 day queues at the border for people trying to get out!

Ha! Well not that it's funny, but there goes my suggestion.
It depends where you are. If you're opening a hostel in a nice outdoorsy bit then I think you are comparatively safe. Other practical problems are the strength of property rights, buerocracy, and shit lawyers.
So yeah to emigrate I'd choose CR all day long.

What maynardeames said. Pretty sure CR to London will be similar journey time as Cornwall to London ;)
My vote would be CR. Nice people/culture, good weather, relatively low corruption. Although it's a lot more expensive than it used to be, which could be a pro or a con depending on your pov. Tonnes of ecotourism infrastructure tho.
Nicaragua could also be worth a look as it's cheaper and seems to be on the up. They used to have pretty good import tax breaks for foreigners - so things like cars, which can be expensive to buy in that part of the world.
