THE EVIDENCE IS MASSIVE
& IS BEING TURNED OVER TO THE
U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT &
THE U.S. EMBASSY IN MEXICO CITY

We are fractional owners of home #34 from Cannon Beach, OR. We purchased in Feb 2007. Supposedly the house was to be completed by Nov or Dec of 2007 as there was to be this BIG GRAND OPENING celebration that we were to be notified and invited to in December 2007. Never happened! When we went to Mazatlan in June 2007 to check why we were not getting any kind of response back from Manual Cristerna, or his "PR Man" Federico Medrano Barros, we showed up and chased them down. We had a meeting with Federico and he assured us that our home would be ready before we arrived in Feb 2008. Federico said that he would email us pictures to show us of the progress being made on our place. In Feb 2008, when we arrived, our house was not even close to being completed. They had to put us up in another house for our month. In the house that they put us in, it was tastefully furnished but there was still no satellite tv, phone or many of the things that were listed in the contract that we signed. We had to fix the pool ourselves because it did not work. Again, they promised by the next year Feb 2009 that our house would be completed and we would not have to worry about anything. While we were there in 2008, the construction on our home was making progress but when we showed up in Nov 2008, unannounced, no further progress had been made. Obviously, everything just stopped once we left. In Feb 2009 when we arrived, we were given the keys to yet a different house that had no pool, no yard, no dock access, many things in the house were not completed, furnishings had been taken from the Villas and were soiled and ripped. Again, no satellite tv and electricity was actually being wired from the house next door. Additionally, our house #34 was stuffed full of furniture from the Villas. When we asked Federico why our house was being used to store the stolen property, he got very nervous and just laughed, like he always does and said "no no not stolen". But all the furnishings that were being stored at our house were removed within two days. But no work resumed on our house. We were inconvenienced by running out of propane and it took two days for us to get our problem taken care of, when everyone knows that you get service usually within an hour. No one at the office had any cash to pay for it. When we complained about being ripped off, they threatened to have the police throw us out. Manuel trades vehicles with his relatives when he is at the isla because doesn't want anyone knowing when he is there for fear he will be arrested again. Have no idea what Feb 2010 will bring when we arrive for our scheduled visit. Anyone else who has been scammed, please feel free to contact us.
