loreto bay, again
There is someone posting information on the "Trip Advisor" forum about Loreto. He calls himself "watchout buyers" and says he was a builder at Loreto
Bay, but quit because of mismanagement. His posts are deleted by the forum shortly after they are posted because they "are not travel related."
This is what he posted this morning:
"heres the latest news. peter wardle the new director of the whole project is being sued for sexual harrasment by two mexican women who work for him.
these women are also planning to go to immigration to try to get him deported, or arrested. from my experience dealing and working with peter i
believe these women. also ken foust who was in charge of custom homes was given his walking papers for no reason. loreto bay owes him over 170,000.00
dollars for back pay, and by mexican law must pay him 3 months wages for letting him go. also about three months ago they hired a consultant to come
to loreto to give a 3 day seminar costing over 3 million dollars. this project is being mismanaged, both money , and construction wise. think twice
before buing there."
This guy obviously is angry and might have a vendetta. I can't vouch for anything he says. But it is all quite interesting. Just thought I'd share.

$ 170.000.00 back pay Now there's a wothy employee, I say. About his money's worth in gold.
And a guy that runs a million a day seminar
Tough to get your money's worth at events like that. Wonder if there was free champagne and fish tacos
Maybe they were "NUEVO PESOS" possibly

...I see that that particular thread was shut off...think it might be because Loreto Bay is a major advertiser..???

We had an interesting discussion in Loreto with three ladies from the bay area that had joined to buy a place in LB. They had put down money at three
different times (almost $100,000) and had come down to see the progress on their place. There was no progress, just vacant land.
These gals either had so much money or so little smarts that they had very little concern. I would guess that many of the buyers are very similar;
it's anly money ! Yikes !

Well, go ahead and ask Loreto Bay what their side of the story is.

Yes Phil, please find out the true story for us. All I get are first hand reports from people working there, and they have nothing good to say!!

The 3 million dollar consulting fee was probably nothing more than a legal way for the powers at be to funnel out money that was intended for
construction costs.
This is one project that Captn. Mike can't even get behind.

Thanks Don. I think I will. I'm acquainted with Ed Tates replacement, so I think I'll ask him who the heck this guy is. Peter Wardle is a new name
to me. You know him by any chance Don? If so, what was his job title? I thought I've met most of them over the years, including those who aren't
here anymore.

well.............wait just a gosh durn minute here.
i have said in the past i was neither for nor against it as its not my cup of tea - i like a cheap palapa. where i can get smashed on the patio,
torture the neighbors and generally bark at the moon..............
but i support development done right.
well here it is, my confirmation. a friend of mine, pilot, biz man and volunteer (medicos) bought a home there last year. it is gorgous, they
delivered the goods from scratch just as promised, he was around periodically during the ops to talk with decorators etc. - bottom line? he says the
place is tops.
well good for him, he is rico - if thats what he likes its ok for me.
you can't tell me ALL the people having jobs there are b-tchin!
i suspect a lot of sour grapes about. take em with a grain of tequila with your salt.

Don Jorge & Mike. Well said!!!!!!! Yes I'm sure there will be sour grapes from many people
Don Alley. I don't know where your finding these "workers" who give you first hand reports, but I usually try & give rides from Nopolo when I go
to town with the local workers when they are at the hwy. I haven't had one of them say anything derogatory about his job, or indicate to me he was
unhappy.?????????

So, what is the current status of LB? How many homes are completed? What percentage of the 1st phase does that constitute? And how many people are
moved in and kicking back?
Personnel comes and goes in any business.............

i flew over it last month low and slow. there were dozens of completed homes and lots of infrastructure. and looked like about twice as much under
various stages of building processes.
sales are strong based on the news letter, You can only deliver so fast given the limited labor and material logistics.
compared to Calif ocean view/front property its a bargain i guess even at $250K for a small casita. Those people take the airlines down too, simple
connections to Loreto, and don't forget all the Canadians as a customer base. They love it.

Someone can correct me if this is wrong information...........I have heard many times, that Mexican Labor Laws require any contactor in the building
business who employs more than 5 workers, is required by law to provide one meal a day and decent housing for their employees....Also from what I
have heard that the L.B.C. are not a good people to get involved with. Time will cetainly tell!!

Mike,
I don't think $ 250.000.00 will do any longer for a small casita .
The multi million dollar homes they are building across the 9th green from me are a long way from completion. I'm afraid that even the " first phase "
is years from completion. Yes, years  . There are workers everywhere, but the building almost seems to go in slow motion. Week after week nothing seems to
change, even with tons of guys crawling around. In the mean time our intestines are well scoured with all the dust we're consuming
