Villa Bahia bay of L.A.

Terry28 - 3-13-2013 at 02:05 PM

I sent a note to Villa Bahia passing on the negative comment that was posted by Jaybo..In their reply they stated that several folks had commented on the emaciated dog there, it is a rescue dog that was hit by a car and abandoned. They are spending quite a bit of $$$ on medicine but the poor dog is not responding well..It has been to a vet in Ensenada. And yes, last month Roger was gone for quite a while to San Diego and had a worker "watching" the place, they apologized for his obvious neglect in poop patroling etc. Roger is back and has made lots of improvements> They are open and welcoming folks. Hope this encourages folks to go there..It really is a very cool place...and nice folks.

Great news, thanks... Glad it was as I suspected (poor caretaker) and not intentional neglect of the dogs or property!

Jaybo - 3-13-2013 at 03:12 PM

You should pass along that he should never ever trust that caretaker again. The door to the "office" was unlocked and I could have taken anything. I would never do that of course, I only opened the door to yell Hola! in case the bell wasn't working. Glad to hear that they were working with the rescue dog, but the other dog with the festering infected eye looked pretty sad too.

I will pass this along to my wife so she is aware of the circumstances as well since she was very distraught and concerned about it. If we make it back there I may have to give them another chance, although we really liked the Princess Hotel. Thanks for passing this along, I appreciate knowing the rest of the story.

gee really, so if the owners knew that the manager was going to leave for awhile? why didnt they come down or some one from the family and help in managing the place, so they just let anybody run it,, so nice

Terry28 - 3-13-2013 at 07:46 PM

Roger is the owner...keep your smart comments to yourself.

skippermike - 3-13-2013 at 09:03 PM

Jaybo-
I understand your concerns.
In the times my wife and I have visited there we have had various folks subbing for Roger - we think they have been great.
Roger has been great to deal with.
Recognize the place for what it is - not a hostel, not a Marriott.
We have never had a bad experience there - even during crowded Baja race events.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend folk going there.
If you look all over Baja there are stray dogs everywhere - whose job is it to take care of them? For sure, not every property owner.

Skippermike,

Did you read my concerns on the other thread? I posted exactly what I observed. I noted the conditions of the animals and the property and the lack of *anyone* being in attendance there. The animals I saw were in poor shape, even accounting for the differences in the quality of care, maintenance and feeding when comparing our native country to theirs.

In my and my wifes mind there were serious concerns so that is what I reported. they can be the best people ever but when I was there, the urine smell was overpowering the minute we walked into their compound, the animals were in poor shape and there was dog poop everywhere.

I reported what I saw, I did not exaggerate, so regardless of your past experience, that was mine as of February 19th, 2013. Sorry if you don't like what I reported but it is what I experienced. I just hope the owner takes corrective actions now and in the future or I will not be the only one reporting this. I totally realize this is not the Marriot, I was not expecting that it would be. It is just what it is as I reported on the date I was there.

..Jay

Jaybo: Your honest reporting and full disclosure should be welcomed by everyone, specially Villa Bahia owner Roger. If Nomads remain silent about conditions actually observed, how does that help fix the problem? Roger will be lucky if he wasn't robbed given the office was open! Caretaker fail, even if feeding and cleaning up after the dogs isn't his duty.

Things do change in Baja... A great place one trip can turn ugly if left to others to run, but it can get back to the way it was. A meal at Mama Espinoza's can be a delicious experience one trip, and make someone sick the next. We get to hear from everyone who experiences Baja who takes time to report it here... and this constant updating of travel data is an enormous benefit to the rest of us having a good vacation or other Baja experience. Like that news network, we report and you decide!

If one gives an honest report about their experience somewhere or with someone, it depends on with whom you disagree.

It is rather dictated that one agrees with certain people, or they are dog meat.

Even if one reports that they found filth, no water, roaches, etc., in places that certain people like, well they are told they are just not Baja people. There are places and people around here who are viewed as sacrosanct.

Experiences and opinions belong to each individual, but it is often not seen to be that way around here. And it ain't going to change; it is what it is. :yes:

I don't see DianaT's response as "negative"....I do see it as expressing a different viewpoint, and by doing so, treaded upon the sacrosanct.

Her point exactly. I shared some strong opinions about your political whining and harangues last week and was told by a few of your fans that I had no wit and contributed nothing to BN....compared to your stellar mapmaking (which even I have thanked you for publicly a number of times on-line).

Let me be succinct: David, I am diametrically opposed to your political views and will disagree with them whenever and wherever I want...your blaming liberals for how your world is simply demonstrates a narrow view that I believe is dangerous (as you do mine). I appreciate your wealth of Baja knowledge but not how you slip in political innuendo and outright blaming accusations when it is not called for.

I don't know Diana and may have offended her at times with my sarcasm, unsolicited comments or whatever, so I am not taking personal sides as much as ideological ones.

Keep on informing us with maps, history and Baja enthusiasm. But STFU with your right wing crap....and if you do, I will stop with my unenlightened liberal counterpoints :light:

I have had some Nomads indicate to me that their liberal voices just get drowned out on this forum with the louder blathering of you and your ilk, and they have been smarter than me by not even playing that game....

So, my challenge to you, David, is to keep it Baja related and I will do the same.

Your move :saint:

rts551 - 3-14-2013 at 08:00 PM

David, I don't know why you would have a problem with me commenting to Diane. As you have said many times, this is an open forum.

You are over-reacting to any comment I make. Diana made some good points and there was nothing wrong with agreeing with her.

Sit and contemplate your navel for a while, you will calm down and realiz not everyone is out to get you.

David K - 3-14-2013 at 11:27 PM

Yep, my bad... sorry folks!:coolup:

Islandbuilder - 3-15-2013 at 12:18 AM

It seems that if david said that the sun rose this morning someone here would take exception with it. And then go on a policitcal harrange which they will blame on david.

Unless I missed it, there wasn't any politics on here under Motoged brought it.

Why?

I admit that I'm not totally objective, but I just didn't read anything here, in anyones posts, that should have inspired the gang tackle that was directed at DK. I agree that he tosses out some zingers from time to time, and that his political views aren't a secret, but at least limit the DK bashing to threads in which he has brought it on himself.

Stalking him from thread to thread, and disagreeing with whatever he posts is just creepy bullying and, IMHO, doesn't belong here.

:lol::lol:




David,
My initial response was not solely pointed toward you --- there were no names involved and you do not stand alone in the sanctified box.

I guess the only reason you were so quick to think it was directed toward you is that you are well aware that in the past you have accused me of not telling the truth about our experiences in Baja because our experiences did not match yours. As much as you protest, you do not always play nice. It was good to see you admit it. I put the laughing faces because it truly made me laugh. And again, you do not stand alone. :yes:

Islandbuilder - 3-15-2013 at 09:18 AM

Well, THAT went well!

I didn't intend to pick on anyone. But I know that I did. So to Ged and Diana, my appologies.

It would be nice if we had to guess at anyones political leanings, or fallings, and just limit ourselves to talking about baja. There are plenty of other venues to get our political spleens aired on.

Perhaps this whole board should go to FaceBook, where we can push a button and not see anyones postings that raise our blood pressure beyond it's recommended level?

Or, we should just resist the urge to go see what that person that annoys us has said NOW?

I'll shut up now, and take my dreams for utopia to work.

Wow!
I though I was skimming through the Off Topics here :-)

McFez has communicated with DavidK outside of the BN here.......and he is really a swell guy. Much of the depicted opinions of him being a negative person is outright BS.

On the other hand......Islandbuilder (and wife) are really great folks too. He was at my farm a month ago....and he was nothing but a jolly good guy.

Both of these men are decent. let's lay off of then instead of doing a dog pile....................

FYI,
I just returned from three wonderful weeks on mainland Mexico....so the blood in my veins has thinned and I am warm enough.

Thanks for the invitation to visit but I will pass....these days I am preferring to avoid and remove toxic elements from my life.

Thanks for your Baja contributions...not the other stuff.

Also, I don't believe I am a Stalinist....but my Grade 10 teacher called me a Bolshevik because I didn't follow all the rules....

Back to the original topic (if I may). I first stayed there about seven years ago and it was great. Went back about three years ago in the fall - Roger and Jean (?) were both gone and had some kids running the place - it was a disaster.

Very hard to trust your "baby" to someone else . . .

Skipjack Joe - 3-15-2013 at 04:58 PM

Well, since we're back on topic .....

I also visited the place and saw much of what Jaybo saw (less the dogs) but had a different reaction to it. Nobody was around. I walked up and down the property calling out without any response. The paint bucket was left open drying in the sun. The ladder was leaning askew at the side of the building. There was a rubble of things piled on top of one another in the yard. Dogfood scattered over the linoleum in the kitchen.

And I thought .... What a cozy place. Nobody's in a rush to do anything. Everything's left half undone. This is exactly how I envisioned my retirement to be in baja. Lazy. Mellow. Sleepy. Restful.

It never entered my mind that this was an invitation to a thief.

Everyone has their own version of heaven, I guess.

BTW, David, it's too bad you can't read Russian because this has nothing to do with your message.

These were WWII posters warning citizens to not give any information to the occupying German forces. It was a matter of national security that could and did cost lives, and prolonged the war. This poster is about espionage, knowing and unknowing.

Open your eyes goat... stop swallowing the lies and just try and live without government womb to the tomb controls on real freedom. The Republicans are who freed the slaves in the 1800's and passed the Civil Rights bill in the 1960's. We don't use people's color to get votes by catering to special interests that use people. Martin Luther King's ideas are conservative (to not judge by the color of your skin). Republicans in the senate of recent years were not who were KKK members. Why are blacks worse off than 4 years ago, more so than whites, who are also worse off, if liberalism was so good for them (or all of us)? Where are those 'Obama Bucks' they though voting for him would insure flowed to them? Why is health care costs going up? Why are more people on Food-stamps than in our history? Why is unemployment unchanged from 4 years ago (and that's not considering the millions who are no longer counted)? And, for Ralph concerned about me being here so much: Why doesn't anyone have money to upgrade or repair their irrigation or install new???

Even the conservative party does not want to go back to what they were. They are "reinventing" themselves to attract voters. From everything I read and hear it is getting better. People that want to work are getting jobs and spending money. Maybe its because people are looking for a Licensed contractor. By the way did you read about the crackdown on the unlicensed in your are?

No, but I know a Baja Nomad who is a pool contractor here in Oceanside... and I happily refer Baja Nomads!

Those two were Democratic-Lite... but still got my support over the socialist who won both times. Lesser of two evils, they say? Conservatives just didn't come out and vote, the data showed... Too bad America has to suffer in the meantime.

Oh, and Ralph, when you actually live in my state and do something to your property to improve it with all that stock market money you brag about having made, I will be happy to show you my license and my associates with landscape contractors licenses whom I also sub under. Nice attempt at a little personal jab there, you sleep well trying to hurt others?

Just the facts, Dave. Just the facts
Not trying to hurt anyone. Don't have that much in stocks, anymore since I have been retired (pulled most of them before the last dump) and spent most of my life in Kalifornia (before you were born until 1994 except for time in school etc. and for those that like to deal with licensed contractors no need for them to show a license.

Most of my time now is spent in Baja which is much more desirable than Califonia or aridZona.

D.K All over the south west Goverments are discouraging people from having lawns that need water. some are paying people to dig them up and install alternative systems did you ever stop and think you are Kicking a Dead Horse.:?::?::?::?::?:

Boy, you really don't know me!

I was with the first company the actively promoted using drip irrigation for landscape watering and alternatives to grass for ground cover... this was in 1980.

Because some people still wanted grass, I only install water saving low-flow sprinklers on water saving Marathon fescue grass, whenever I can. On slopes, I use check valved sprinklers, so water in the pipe doesn't pour down the slope at shut off. I use drip irrigation whenever appropriate and have even done under-lawn drip irrigation.

I haven't installed a new lawn in years, but last month my landscaper friend did, and he had me install all MP Rotators on it and Netafim emitterline on the planters.

I am also a certified Weathermatic Smartline installer. Smartline is a 'smart' controller that monitors the weather right there and adjusts how the irrigation runs based on climate, soil type, slope, plant type and irrigation type, per zone!

I have taught an adult education class on drip irrigation and co-authored a book, 'Irrigation Design', in 1992.

Anything else you might want to know about the dead horse I kick? :?::light::lol:

off-topic again but in our area natural landscape with only water harvesting techniques for irrigation is being promoted.

for more info Google Tucson water harvesting and
Tucson Gray water

CHRIST!! I started this as a comment on the Hotel, Villa Bahia...now it has turned into a urinating contest. If I knew how to kill this thread I would. It's pretty sad when this type of thing ruins an important ( to me ) topic. Give it a rest people....

To bring it back on topic I will just say my experiences at the Villa Bahia have been great!!! Only been there twice but I dig the uniqueness and water front rooms.
