Rancho Buena Vista Closing? Hold on just a sec…
In an unusual email on Monday afternoon of this week, Seby R. 'Russ' Jones, President of Davidson and Jones Corporation of North Carolina, announced
the permanent closing of Rancho Buena Vista Hotel in East Cape, adding yet another chapter to its colorful history. The email invited one and all to
celebrate the closing in the bar the following afternoon.
According to the email signed by Jones, "RBV has aged well, but we no longer foresee the ability to keep the hotel in good enough shape to offer that
experience. So, after six decades of operation, it’s time to say goodbye."
Telephones rang, emails flew and many that heard the news shook their heads disbelievingly.
The shocked reaction was swift as the emails reverberating across the internet. East Cape locals and hotel owners expressed disappointment that the
stately historic hotel would be no more.
Axel Valdez, Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort, summed it up best. "It’s tragic for both the area and the hotel industry here."
Then early Tuesday afternoon a second email arrived from Mark Walters, one of the partners of Rancho Buena Vista Hotel and grandson, son, and third
generation Baja entrepreneur. Mark, paraphrasing Mark Twain, quoted, "The reports of RBV's closing are greatly exaggerated."
He continued, "The Davidson and Jones Corporation has been managing/operating the hotel for the past few years and they have decided to call it quits.
The actual owners, the Hermosillo family and myself, are currently reviewing our options. The hotel will be closed only until another management
company is located. Thanks for your interest."
So It seems for the moment the old girl has a reprieve. It appears that the whole incident was nothing more than a spat between owners and operators
who resorted to the internet to negotiate a management position.
Next week's column will explore this story in more detail.
