I don’t work at Sanctuary and I have been to one of the weekend retreats. Have you been to one? If not how can you give 1st hand knowledge about the amount of pressure put on people to buy, because I can say there was no pressure at all. Many folks on the weekend I was on did not buy and they confirmed there wasn’t pressure put on them.
How close to the grocery store or hospital do you recommend, right next to it? Many people live 20 or 30 miles from a town or city in the USA and have no problems driving that distance to get to a store. A lot in Placencia is just a lot and can’t be compared to a lot in a development that has many ammenities associated with the lot that the Placencia lot does not have. A bad lot in Placencia is the same as a bad lot in a development, and won’t sell. There are many reasons why lots don’t sell quickly.
You still haven’t said how many satisfied people you have interviewed. I guess the dissatisfied people are the most vocal.

IL does recommend developments through their consultants who have a membership fee to join. They recommend countries and developments that will go forward and are investment opportunities. These do not have shopping centers, hospitals, or banks yet. Some IL members get in on developments at the start, some at the middle and others want in when fully developed. You can’t make statements on what IL members want or don’t want since you have not conducted any surveys of members to determine their needs. So some IL members are investors, some want to relocate in the future and others want to relocate immediately. Each needs are different.

Please do us all a favour and talk to the hundreds of satisfied buyers at Sanctuary and other developments before making judgments based on interviewing a few people in a bar. Do you have any statistics of satisfied versus non satisfied buyers?
You are doing more harm to the development of Belize with your sketchy opinion of how happy or not people are with thier purchases. Buyers at Sanctuary knew from the start where the developement was and their poor buying decisions should not in any way reflect on that development. I am not an owner at Sanctuary, but I do know many satisfied owners that you no doubt did not talk to.

The developer did have permits but built a longer runway than the permit allowed. Since there was a significant number of Canadian investors in this project, the Ontario Securities Department launched a law suit against the developer halting progress on the project.
It would be everyone’s interest if you, Ann, would interview some of the many satisfied buyers at Sanctuary or Kanantik resorts, so that a more rounded, non-biased critique can be presented.
