Any more word as to whether the hotel will reopen? Or, is La Fonda just going to be another Baja memory?

Familia stopped in and spoke with Mr. D and son. He has been 'handed' back ownership of hotel/spa property due to non payment. He plans to have bar
open by weekend and has ordered new furniture for hotel.

Help me understand this: Persumably Mr D & Son sold the business and carried back the paper. The real property was the collateral. Right?
1. Wasn't the furniture in the hotel when they sold it?
2. Who moved it to the street; they buyers or Mr D?
3. Either the defaultees stole the furniture, or Mr D gave away what was rightly his, or there is something about Mexican real estate law I don't
understand. (duh)
Can anybody explain this?

An "anonymous" source told me that Mr D plans to open the restaurant and bar where it was originally, a few buildings south of where the spa was.

Apparently law states that when a property is repossessed the items inside are not included. Mr. D made an offer and previous owners did not accept so
stuff was emptied as prescribed and now he needs to replace.
Did hear that current restaurant situation is equally tenuous and a similar result is possible.
Next week we are heading down that way and may get a chance to stick our heads in and see how the margaritas are at the new new old la Fonda

Watched something similar happen at the small motel across from Sharky's. The owner sold it to someone, then moved back north leaving his girlfriend
[wife, she claimed] and her family on the premises. They refused to leave.
After a couple of months, the police came down with a crew of workers and gutted the place, putting everything out at the edge of the road just like
the La Fonda picture. It didn't last long.

Just a Reminder
Mexico, including Baja, is governed by the Napoleanic Law Code which has very different rules about property ownership from the U.S. legal system.

Swami predicts Mr. D's son will soon be selling hotel furniture.

La Fonda is up and running again...
Passed by La Fonda today and it was packed. There were wall to wall cars. A security guard stepped out and asked me very nicely if I wanted to eat
at the restaurant or get a room. I asked him if it was open for business again and he said yes and I asked who the owner was and he said Dimitri. I
asked him if that was the same owner as before and he said yes. I saw no furniture on the side of the road and business in La Mision and Rosarito was
booming today and the weather was gorgeous, over 80 degrees and the beaches were packed.
