Yeah, I remember when they built that pier. It was supposed to be for a small casino cruise ship. Right off the bat the marvels of Mexican
engineering were appearent. They built that additional lower pier because nobody could actually get off the boat. I heard that ship made EVERYONE
seasick. Lasted less than a year?

I think they talked about it for less than a year- not sure a casino day boat ever docked. But if I was Mayor Torres (or his son in the video) why
wouldn't you want a marina project at your Rosarito Beach Hotel front door instead of competing against you and downtown further out of town? This IS
his son talking- so they likely have a huge stake in whatever it is.

The boat did dock a few times. The plan was leave San Diego, stop in Rosarito for a few hours, then on to Ensenada for a few hours. A 24 hour thing
with limted cabins and sole purpose, gambling. It was a joint effort with one of the San Diego County Indian Casinos. (Veijas?) On the maiden voyage
it was found that the ship and the pier were ill suited for each other and no one could get off the boat. They immediately got to work on a fix (ie:
lower pier with ramp) and then the venture died soon after.

What about his other project north of town called NAOS. I see they are working on that one again. You have to wonder why, when so many stand empty.
Even that big resort in Baja Malibu wont open its doors. I don't think Corona Plaza has ever had all its floors occupied.
You gotta wonder, what's in it for them???? This has been going on for years. |
That NAOS site is the location of the old Oasis- no? That piece of real estate has some interesting history. I wonder who wound up with the land
title after the gov't seized it? Hmmm
Maybe Torres mis-spoke in the video and it is this location?:

I wonder where this "north side" location is. There really isn't much beach left in Rosarito Beach. |
I'm familiar with the one South. It's next door to Sanoviv. They've already delivered the rock on site to build the breakwater. The principal
investors are the same folks who owned Coral Marina. I expect construction to begin within the next few months. |
The Sanoviv location is a good bit south of Rosarito proper for the locals to actually benefit from such a project. If the Hotel Coral people are
involved wonder if Curiel is also, he is a real piece of work.........

I have yet to see any project that benefits Rosarito's locals.
Except paving a few streets.
