Marriott is Opening a New Resort in Belize
https://www.caribjournal.com/2019/11/07/belize-marriott-new-resort/

By Caribbean Journal staff / Caribbean Journal / caribjournal.com / November 7, 2019

“A hot new resort is coming to one of the Caribbean’s hottest hotel destinations: Belize.

The new Alaia Belize is set in the bustling destination of San Pedro Town in Ambergris Caye, a residential resort community that will be part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.

The beachfront property, the first-Marriott branded resort in Belize, will include a pool, spa and fitness center, a wedding venue, a beach club, several eateries and a signature rooftop pool.

The property is approximately 70 percent complete, according to Waypoint, which is handling real estate sales at the property, which will include a mix of standalone beachfront villas and oceanfront condos....”

Interesting, although a Marriott hotel not an MVC resort.

That would be quite an MVC though, would it not? Interesting that they are selling as condos/villas and allowing you to rent them directly through Marriott. Are there other similar properties?

I'm also interested in knowing about that "from $350K" price point. That sounds like fractional ownership to me, unless the cost of living is WAY less there (that's even cheaper than Riviera Maya).

First Look At Marriott's Branded Beach Villas In Belize

“According to a recent Knight Frank report, branded residences are proliferating from the Caribbean all the way to China. But especially in the Caribbean. The report concludes ultra-high-net-worth buyers are drawn to quality home design, high living standards, inclusive management as well as luxury services and amenities.

Marriott International Autograph Collection is deeply immersed in this trend, with 60 branded residences worldwide. Its latest is Alaia Belize’s new oceanfront home collection—The Beach Villas, part of a 155-unit community resort opening in December 2020. Belize is emerging as the Caribbean’s best kept secret....”

Alaia Belize will include three-bedroom freestanding homes along the Caribbean Sea.

Something similar is coming out next year on the island of Dominica. There is an option for citizenship there for a purchase. Also will be labeled Autograph Collection brand. A business model that has proven successful on St Kitts and other places. Scrub Island in the BVI is a similar Autograph Collection property.
