He didn't even show up until after Mike left and there have been no improvements to the beach since he left (2002). I have kept quiet to respect the last of the homeowners but there are none left. OK Mark move into someone else’s home and claim it but you can't have it both ways! You and Munoz are no different trying to claim what others have built for your own.

Thank you Mike, Mark, Olivia & Munoz your lies, cheating & greed have you right were you belong!!!!!

Do you know what ever became of Mike? I heard that he left the Pheonix fire dept under less than desireable circumstances, and then went to Baja got involved (started?)with this mess. Any idea where he is now?

xpbr has made only one post ever in nomadlandia. she-he could be a regular posing anew.. or just making a special appearance to stir the pot, grind his/her axe

Your right, could be. I'm going with my gut here. I thought there was more to it and his story is like other real estate nightmares we've all heard about. It doesn't explain what's happening now but it does show that there is a even bigger picture. Plus, we all have a first post and it usually happens when something interests us enough to sign up and jump in.
Edit to say I agree with you on the drive by. So many other beautiful beach options than to go there deal with all the bad juju!

OK, here is what I’ve surmised; help me fill in the holes:
1. The world was dark, void and without form.
2. So god set to work and made this little bay.
3. Fast Forward to post-revolution and some Italian guy owns the bay.
4. Munoz ‘buys’ the beach from said Italian guy; and per Wooosh’s guess has good title, the best.
5. Munoz leases all? or part? of beach to a Mexican (Olivia) and her husband/boyfriend Mike.
6. Somebody, and I don’t know who or when, builds a hotel and a restaurant. And when I say ‘build’, I mean who paid for the material and labor and who was expecting to get the benefit of these businesses?
7. Somehow/way, Mike and Olivia have at the very least a signed lease for the restaurant and maybe other parts of the beach.
8. Mike and Olivia sub-lease to others who build houses, these houses are on the opposite side of the hotel from the restaurant/bar. I am led to believe that these sub-leasees THOUGHT they were leasing from the owners of the property but were not.
9. Munoz, who probably is aware of all this, waits until the homes are built and furnished and then contacts the dreamers and tells them to get the f*ck off his property.
10. Sh*t hits the fan, people come after Mike & Olivia and Mike bails.
11. Mark shows up to continue the fight.
12. Olivia files for and gets a beach concession for the area where the café/bar is.
13. Mark and Olivia take over one of the houses as their own; I mean, why not; they’re just sitting there.
14. Olivia (and I am just guessing here) starts doing the Mexican version of ownership per possession and improvement, squatter’s rights and all that. She must have been a little bit successful here given the fear shown by Munoz.
15. Munoz goes apesh*t and starts fighting dirty, or even dirtier.


There is only one access road that serves both restaurant and hotel. This tells me that both were built by the same party with the concept that both buildings were on a single piece of property or lot and therefore no subdivision has taken place unless the person who ended up with the restaurant lot is very stupid as they now would have no guaranteed access. Or they are being stupid like a fox.
Will somebody who actually knows something fill in the blanks to the above timeline? Thanks

These kinds of stories are entertaining, but drive me nucking futs. Do we all just totally toss our common sense when we cross the border?

And following Santiago's assessment.
Why was everything quiet and uneventful for such a long time and then suddenly Munoz thinks he needs to send down gun toting goons to straighten things out? I have seen the condition of the hotel and these guys do not strike me as being what is needed to "clean up the hotel".
The articles in the paper basically mean nothing at this point since it is just one man's blowing off steam. When charges are filed why not go for Calderon too, just because you name the director of State Police and the Governor, does not really signify anything except that your attorney has a big pencil and is looking to get lots of attention.
I doubt that we will ever get a clear story of who owned what and who started what lease. It is a shame that three beautiful houses are sitting there with two vacant and crumbling and one occupied by Mark.
Hopefully this thing will go to court and everyone gets their say in the matter and they settle this thing once and for all.

Lots of holes. But I don't have the time or inclination to go through them all. Its a LONG and complicated mess. But here is one. A Mexican moved into the house first (why I don't know)? Mark and Olivia had him forcibly removed in December 2011 so they could take it over.

OK then; the tax collector every year sends out tax bills - they must go to the current owner of record - no? Who gets the bill and who pays it?

In my area in Baja Sur, anyone can go in and pay the bill as long as they know the parcel (there is no bill sent out). Maybe that is only here.

Wow, ramuma really messed up.

Santa Rosalia, BCS-The Justice Department reports that persons were arrested forcibly entered and shooting a firearm on Sunday to an area that has a legal dispute in Conception Bay, where a hotel and restaurant Buenaventura.

As we reported to chance, people were allegedly hired by a lawyer for the city of Tijuana who identify with the name of Rafael Muñoz Martinez to dislodge the Americans who currently occupy the site.

The issue came into the hands of the consular representative of the United States in Mulege Jim Christopher, who in defense of the injured Mark J. Burbey complained to the authorities of his abuse, in making firearm shots against American tourists that were in place the previous Sunday night.

The Office of Justice advises that the site has been secured and were detained persons named Alan Perez Mario Rivera 36-year-old native of Mexico City and established in Ecatepec (Mexico State), John Banuelos Duran 40 years old from Ciudad Constitucion, Roberto Miranda Gomez 37 years of age Aréchga Oswaldo Perez, 44, (Robert and Oswaldo originating in La Paz, BCS) and Mary Elizabeth Espinoza Montano 51 years originally from the city of Tijuana.

OFFICIAL PART OF DETENTION
FACTS: On February 9, 2012, at 14:15 hours, to attend the Command Element in Santa Rosalia BCS, to support an application signed by the C. Deputy Public Investigator Common Law, to carry out the assurance of a property and / or property called "Hotel Buena Ventura" Conception Bay, located at kilometer 93.5 of the highway Mulege, Loreto BCS, arriving at the site were received by five males and one female, who attacked them verbally with big words and aggressively, so the agents tried to talk peacefully, letting them know the reason why were in the place above being attacked again with big words while they rushed to the Elements of the State Ministerial Police, proceeding to submit them and stop them with security measures and police techniques, not without strong resistance to oppose, being moved to the offices of the Attorney being available to that Authority for the relevant paperwork.

The crimes they are charged to resist: outrage and violence against public officials and institutions.

ATTORNEY RESPONSE RAFAEL MARTINEZ MUÑOZ

In today's edition of the newspaper THE BCS publishes the disagreement of the lawyer Rafael Muñoz Martinez for the arrest of their workers. He explains that the weapon used with the permission of the Ministry of Defence. Here is a fragment of the reporter's note Sarabia Porfirio Pacheco.

Aloy Aguiar Yee, Deputy Public Investigator Common Law based in Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur and Felix Murillo, commander of the State Ministerial Police of that city and responsible elements, with extreme violence and without a search warrant or arrest warrants, went into the premises and the Hotel Buena Ventura, the afternoon of February 9, 2012 arrested six workers at the site, keeping them incommunicado.

At a press conference held yesterday afternoon in Beijing, Eduardo Barraza Garcia, a lawyer and legal representative of the owner of the land and Rafael Muñoz Martinez Hotel, denounced the violations by the authorities of the Attorney General of the State.

He added that criminal charges be filed against the person or persons responsible, since Rafael Muñoz Martinez is the rightful owner of the property and the Hotel Buena Ventura, located at kilometer 93.5 of the highway Loreto, Mulege, Baja California Sur, according to title issued by the secrete of Agrarian Reform.

"Workers have committed no crime because they were working on land owned by the employer and whether the worker Alan Perez Mario Rivera, possessed a .380 caliber firearm for guarding the house and the gun has the permission of the Ministry of National Defense. "

If there's nothing there that you didn't already know than don't read it. I believe that's what you advocated we do to the Mengano news posts.

It doesn't sound rude it IS rude. All he's saying is that, since you titled it "Ramuna Really Messed Up", there would be some evidence that hadn't been known already. Could you be a little more specific, or are you just one of those that believe Mark & Olivia are GOOD and Ramuna is EVIL?

Sorry if that sounds rude, dude.

And, since you brought up Mengano - does this provide any more perspective on the safety of Baja? Of course, bad things happen everywhere. In Mexico you will not be protected from the "authorities" they very well might be the bad guys. Does that change things at all?

Yes 1st time posters look suspicious. My only agenda was to keep the truth in the mix. I know truth can be spun but there are something’s that can’t be spun.

I appreciate all of the people in the bay that have supported Mike, Mark & Olivia, we did it before all of you. We paid rent and brought down supplies shared in the building thru the 1st 10 years. Then our trusted couple split, Mike & Olivia, Mike took all he could from beach like a pirate. He went in to town and opened a bar, La Casona. Left the renters and the Italians to pick up the pieces. We supported Olivia, while Mike made his plans to cross the gulf to Guaymas. Yes he took a new wife and started all over and has done exactly the same thing to americans over there. I too heard of his sickness but it has been reported that he is running the same beach, house build out, with airstrip.

So renters and Italians surrounded Olivia and took her in. She claimed she knew nothing of Mikes business with us, so we explained what we were paying for rent & utilities and paid her. Now the fun begins, our signed and stamped 30 year lease is now said to be void. The ejido wants to be paid for all improvements to their property, did Mike know something??? Olivia comes to us crying that she needs 10,000 usd to solve her issues with ejido. Of course this is all Mike's fault he never told her anything. Along with this immediate crisis we need to draft new leases. This is the part in the story where Mark inserts himself, promoting that renters have great thing going and they should pay more. Ok so we as renters surround the wagons and put up a front and say HELL NO!! Now comes the stand off that last about a year, we give in and give a fair cost of inflation bump on rent and utilities. We all continue to pay in good faith. That year most all the renters were there on the beach spring to early summer. Roberto & Franaca show up for there normal summer stay. They usually do a lot of cleaning a give Olivia a break so that she can go north to visit family. I find out that while Olivia is gone Munoz shows up at the diner, eats and ask for a room. As he is chatting with Franca he ask where the owner of the hotel is. She tells him that her and Roberto our the owners. He then tells about the mexican women that he meet on his last visit that claimed to own all the property and improvements.

Have to stop here and say we have signed docs by the ejido and Mike & Olivia that state we own our improvements to the leased land and can sell them.

Ok she then tries to sell the hotel and the renters improvements to him. At the same time that this is going on Olivia & Mark are mailing us new american stock lease agreements, which we received in the mail. Nobody in their right mind would have signed off on this lease.

Now I get a panicked phone call from Franca about this new person claiming that he is the real property owner and we need to talk with him. Roberto & Franca have taken Corona & Munoz claims to their lawyer and account. They tell us that everything checks out. So the renters set up a meeting in San Diego to talk all this out. In the process we are overwhelmed with Munoz by email, I think all of you here know what I'm saying (long winded lawyer speak). We are informed at the meeting that Roberto & Franca have sold the Hotel to these guys.

I don't think sold ever happened but I know they came to an agreement. If I can I will post the 10 year old emails, it might be hard to find but I will try.

Some of the renters never came back to the beach, some started paying rent to Munoz, but for the most part it was over at that point. We continued to fight the good fight but we eventually caved to money, harassment, law suits. I decided that we could rent a place for a lot less trouble, THIS BROKE MY WIFES HEART. We brought down the materials for that house one suburban at a time, blood sweat and tears invested in building that house. No matter what happens they can't take that away from us!! The people we met, the joy and memories we will hold on too!

We've had over 20 years invested in Playa Buenaventura and for the most part we're so happy we did. Remember there were people, up until this last year, trying to live in peace at the beach. This and Mark & Olivia’s claims to other people’s property is what brought me into the discussion now.

I have a Passion for this property and the Baja, I DO NOT wish ill will on these characters. What I wish for is more honest information and less posturing and opinion.
Thanks for listening

Thank you XPBRes. Some of us have been following this story for several years, have been to the property, and met some of the people involved. And we still don't really know the truth of what is going on. I really appreciate hearing from someone like you who knows the history, but is not involved in the current mess. Please keep sharing anything you can!
