At Los Porticos we strive to make your stay one that you will remember forever. Those who have already purchased there luxury villa have had the Los Porticos experience first hand and here is what they had to say.
"I had been looking for resort property in a tropical destination for some time. So when I attended the Los Porticos seminar I fell in love with the location as well as the concept that Sandra and Ron have come up with. I have been involved in the construction industry in Alberta, Canada for 30 years and I know how difficult it can be to do a project of this size. Not to mention the fact that they are dealing in differnt currencies, different countries therby different law and all the problems that are associated with the acquisitions of materials. I can only imagine the issues they have had to deal with. I certainly would not attempt to do it! I couldn't be happier with my purchase and can't wait to move in."

"We have visited Los Porticos twice now. First in 2007 and then again this year. Los Porticos is being developed in a most gorgeous setting, fronting the turquoise Caribbean with miles of white sand beach. You can snorkel right off the beach, or just kick back in a hammock. The vegetation surrounding the resort is lush, and tropical flowers, palms and birds abound. You may even spot an elusive iguana sunning himself. The atmosphere at Los Porticos is relaxed and welcoming. The locals are most gracious and freindly. The villas at Los Porticos are exquisitely designed and decorated. The intereiors are finished in colours and materials that complement the environment. Becoming an owner at Los Porticos is very exciting, and we are eagerly awaiting our next visit, when we hope to take possession of our villa."

"Having travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean, we have discovered that Belize is our ideal place in the sun. We have since been back 4 times and every visit makes us want to stay longer and longer. When we heard of the opportunity to invest in Los Porticos development, it caught out interest. When we researched other properties for sale in Placencia, there really was no comparison. This was the BEST investment opportunity by far. Everything seemed right.... the quaint village of Placencia, the peace and quiet, the beachfront location,the size of the development, the quality and size of the units, and the developer's dedication. After meeting with Ron and Sandra, we knew this was the right investment decision for us. We are thankful to be part of their dream!

“Placencia is notable for what it is not. It is not cruise ships, tourists crowding into t shirt shops, and mega resorts. It is a small fishing village with a soccer field, internet café, a mixture of expatriates and locals, and excellent restaurants. As a mid size, upscale Caribbean resort with all the amenities, Los Porticos is perfectly situated on ocean front property within close proximity to the village and one of the best coral reefs in the world. My wife and I are hooked.”
"My husband, Roger, and I have traveled extensively in the Caribbean, over the last 30 years. We kept returning to Belize and ultimately to Placencia, looking for real estate. Once we saw Los Porticos, we knew this was it! We bought a unit—the very best—with close friends, Jeff and Lynn Brown. The location is supreme; the quality of the project is exceptional! Ron and Sandra are so welcoming, easy to work with and are providing a world-class environment. We can hardly wait to live in our unit! We saw it in early Dec. and were absolutely delighted with the entire community. Feel free to contact us. In fact, come join us, become neighbors and friends!"

"When we started to think about a place other than Canada in which to spend winters, Belize emerged as the ideal location – English is the official language (so we can read documents!) and as it is a member of the British Commonwealth the legal system is based on at least similar tenets to what we’re familiar with. We went to have a look December 2007, and although it was a little earlier than we’d planned to buy, we did buy as we were very impressed by Los Porticos; liked the size of the units; the fit and finish is great; and we really liked the fact that it is being developed by an Alberta couple who now live there full time. They are in essence, building a community that they want to live in. The fact that Placencia is a bit more ‘rural’ than the tourist hot spots in Belize.. was also appealing. We wanted to be near and part of a community, not living isolated in a totally self contained resort. We visited again in December 2008, and were REALLY pleased with how things have progressed, and having now looked further at other property in the Caribbean, feel it is excellent value for the money. Last time we were back, we went to look at the places nearby that we had compared a year ago, and the progress at Los Porticos is commendable relative to the other developments. We are really looking forward to taking possession early in 2009!"

"We purchased a condo at Los Porticos in Placencia Belize for many reasons: the area's beauty, its peacefulness, the design and quality of the condo and property construction (and especially the incredibly spacious decks), and its proximity to the beach. We appreciate the developers' committment to preserving the natural flora and fauna of the area. We also appreciate that fact the the property developers are Canadian (and from Edmonton - so if they can build in Edmonton, they can build anywhere!). Belize law does not permit buildings more than four stories on beachfront property so we're guaranteed the area will not come to resemble a Cancun. We also like it that Belize adheres to British common law, that foreigners can own property, and that the country is politically safe. We see Belize as being eco-friendly and believe that this makes it attractive to potential renters as well."

"I was first made aware of Los Porticos through friends of ours in the Edmonton Area. We purchased our unit sight-unseen based on the information provided by Sandra and those who had visited the Placencia area. We had our first visit to Los Porticos at Christmas-time 2009-2009 and were absolutely amazed by the natural surrounding Los Porticos and also with the quality and luxury of our Condominium. The beach is the best in Placencia and the pool is fantastic. A very important part of this purchase has been Sandra and Ron themselves who have made our visits and the whole purchasing process of seamless and stress-free."
