Hotel Ticuan in TJ (pesos, live, deposit, beach)

[watnow78]

Hey guys,

i have booked a room for 4th of July weekend, but i recently heard that the hotel had a fire and im not sure if its up an running again. Ive called the 3 phone numbers listed and none of them work. Also the email they have on the website doesn't seem to be active. I live in Los Angeles and im trying to find out if Ticuan will be open next month. The fire i heard was in Dec 2014 and there was major damage to the building.

can anyone confirm if this hotel is going to be open or closed? Or any info would be great. I need to know if i should cancel my reservations and book another hotel.

Thanks

Not sure if you paid any money up front as it would be the main thing.

In Mexico they want some money as a deposit or paid in full otherwise you do not exist.

I found out the latter decades ago when I wrote a Hotel in Mexico City for a room and on my arrival they never heard of me. Parking lot was not that full but was told they had NO Vacancy.....learned my lesson.

Mexico is NOT the US. No phone service or Internet since both work here with Telnor the main Phone Company.

I can confirm the building is still there as it is one of the taller ones in Zona Centro, but not sure if it is up and running at normal capacity. The fire was back in December so they've had a few months to clean up.

Also, the website appears to be working just fine.
