Hi SD
I agree with what your saying about the huge number of developments on the outskirts, but some will be winners - its just a case of picking the right ones! If location is the first consideration then I think this one is great.
It also has to have an excellent build quality and finish. Thats my worry as it is relatively cheap. I believe some of his other Fedela developments are part finished, has anyone seen them ?
About renters - I think there's a new market of tourists, older families with younger children. I include myself in that. We travelled alot in our 20s and early 30s and have only just had children. The thirst for travel is still there, but we have to compromise. So whereas in our 20s going to Marrakesh would have meant some cheap B&B right in the centre and in our 30s a nice 5* walking distance to the centre, now in our late 30s with 2 young children it means a nice luxurious complex in the peace and quiet (and sun!) but near enough for a few cultural forays into Marrakesh.
For alot of people as long as the sun and facilities are there, in a way the local attractions or where it is dont really matter. Have you seen the number of people who book all inclusive resorts in the Carribbean and dont even leave the complex!
Also what about golfers - Samanah has a Jack Nicklaus course. But not all golfers will be able to afford their room rates.
Do you think residents of the Fedela/Salama Valley will be able to acess the Samanah to use their facilities ? The above tourist scenario needs great facilities and I'm not sure Fedela/Salama valley has enough.
