Costly's life is linked closely to the country of Mexico. His parents separated and his mother, soon after, married a Mexican native. Costly moved to Mexico City when he was 14 years old.

When Constly turned 23, he no longer could play in this division because of age restrictions. He moved back to Honduras where the path to his internationally succeful career began. Costly does not forget Mexico, still owning a house in the region of Coyoacan in Mexico City.[2]
