not all central america is as you described, costa rica being an exception. the speak a better castillian spanish than most mexicans, they for the most part are very clean, educated and take pride in themselves and their country.. most violence in cr is committed by foreigners, nicaraguans, columbians, venezuelans..

they are being innundated by nicaraguans seeking asylum in cr right now.

spain had a larger impact on cr than other countries because cr had a smaller population that survived and intermarried...

All you are saying is that Costa Rica is mostly pure Spanish and not so many Indios and mixed bloods aka mestizos....like Mexico and Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador....Nicaragua too.
