Friendly people, relaxed pace

I was asked why did we pick Belize as a destination and why did we pick Cerros Sands as a place we would like to be associated with and to invest in property with the objective of having a place we could winter at and who knows spend time at.

I for some reason had an idea that I really needed to visit Belize and was determined to go. My wife and I went to Mexico with our 2 children actually young adults to the rest of the world but kids to us. My wife and I extended our trip by week and took bus from Tulum to Chetamal and were picked up by a Taxi and went to Corozal.

Rained a lot, very windy, do not speak Spanish etc etc etc. When we got to Corozal and got settled - we met with Mark Leslie and his wife Angie Leslie. Mark took us all over and showed us a lot of properties. One was Cerros sands and it was just starting in the development stage. We flew to the island for a couple of days and came back to Corozal.

Mark and Angie took us out, we met some of their family and friends and the weather was still somewhat less than nice and hot. We came back to Canada not committed to anything yet as retirement was still quite some time away.

I kept thinking about the people (friendly) the overall relaxed pace, the water, the view and the thoughts were with me almost daily. After some discussion with my wife we decided we would like to own property in this area and with the plans for the area the overall development plans were attractive to us. They was very helpful in us acquiring a lot and we look forward to future visits planning and development.

We do plan on going for a month to stay and live in Corozal this April and it all works out we will come back with more great memories, feelings and looking forward to extended periods of time in the future.

Pricing, natural beauty, excellent weather

We purchased our beach lot on 11/12/2005. Mark Leonard and his staff were very helpful and professional from our boat ride to tour the property to completing the paperwork. The process went very smooth and the owner financing Mark offers was especially helpful to us.

We chose Belize because the pricing was affordable compared to other Caribbean properties we looked at. Belize has a stable democratic government, with fee simple title on land. The people are very friendly and speak English. The natural beauty of the area was a factor as well. The weather in the Corozal region is excellent. The QRP Retired Person Program after age 45 is a bonus. The cost of living and property taxes are inexpensive.

After looking at several Caribbean properties, we chose to purchase in Cerros Sands. The lots available are some of the largest within the excellent price range. We have our own beach front lot and have a beautiful beach to walk. There are deep water channel lots for boaters as well. The roads in Cerros Sands are excellent. The development catches the nice trade breeze. The close proximity to Corozal , Belize and Chetumal , Mexico for shopping, hospital care, etc. is very convenient. The developer has covenants and restrictions to protect the property values. The developer and staff are helpful, friendly and trustworthy.
