You are quite right in pointing out that Banana Club properties are cheaper because they will not be beach-front. They will be situated 3km from the beach on a lagoon. The main reason that I put down a reservation deposit on a Banana Club property was because I get a lot more bang for my buck. I also think that, while beach-front properties are highly desirable to some people, the beach is not everyone's cup of tea. Perhaps people with children would prefer the relative safety of a lagoon. Or maybe those sampling water sports for the first time would prefer a calm lagoon rather than the rough sea to practice in? When purchasing any property there is always a trade-off. Beach-front and get a one bed apartment for your £50k or lagoonside and get a three bed villa for your £50k? I've chosen the latter and am blogging about my buying experience under the name of brazilianrealestate at the blogspot website.
