why is a concrete slab a bad idea for a foundation?

i'm thinking for my future project in costa rica where summertime rainfall 
is high that i will need to put in a concrete slab to get the floor level of 
my house up a bit from the ground level which can become soggy and drenched. 
is this not a good idea?
