Compared to their neighbors and Detroit they're Utopia, but 20% of their population still lives in poverty, the health care system is slow to serve its patients, and the government employees steal money from the social security system.
It is the best of central America, but all you have to do is look at the "houses" with corrugated tin roofs on your way to the Marriott in Los Suenos to realize they still have serious problems. Thankfully the Nicas are available to do work for the Ticos when they are not being shot for squatting on Tico land. Otherwise, nothing would get built or cleaned in Utopia.
