Last night was such a great time with Jane and Sharon. We had dinner at Citron which is located in the famous Rockridge District of Oakland and then later saw Jane’s farewell video from her days at CBS. The dinner was delicious and from the CBS farewell tape, it was obvious that she was well-loved….and had purple hair at the time!
I’m now here on a Saturday morning, having an espresso and catching up on the latest news from Club Loreto Bay and Beck Loreto.
In response to yesterday’s post, “It’s the Friday Loreto Bay rumor mill: New buyer?“, Beck Loreto on their homeowner website noted:
False Report. There was a release today indicating that there was a buyer for Loreto Bay. Some of you contacted us about this, so it may be circulating. This is not the case, according to Alvarez and Marsal. The root of this confusion is that FONATUR this week agreed to take over the maintenance of the golf course and the hotel. This is old news, although good for the development. The details of this arrangement have not been disclosed.
Hmmmm…..
On Club Loreto Bay, our Baja Barry noted that the latest article (The Sudcaliforniano, July 18) seems to say that Fonatur is reopening the Inn and golf course on Monday and though no definitive buyer is announced yet, Fonatur’s operation will cease when the buyer is in place. The article also states the buyer will acquire the assets and assume construction related liabilities of TSD LP.
For those of us who have been following Loreto Bay news for the last three years or more, we know that nothing is certain until it happens so for those of you that are in Loreto, do let us know if the Inn at Loreto Bay and Golf Course are open again on Monday.
Until then, one of my favorite videos from the Inn at Loreto Bay is this one which shows you how to make pina colada: Baja-style pina colada recipe for a hot summer day.
