  1. Do not go to AT and T Ajijic. Similar to the other reports of theft on this thread, I paid for 2 years service. They also told me their credit card machine wasn’t working so cash would work. After 6 months my phone stopped working and the employees said the person who did my contract was fired for scamming. I’m going back tomorrow to see what the manager says but I’m not optimistic based on the way the employees were behaving. My wife’s contact was entered in their system as 6 months shorter than her written contact also. All together we would be out about $500.00 I have had previous problems with AT and T engaging in unscrupulous practices and I would highly recommend staying way clear of this company and especially this branch.
  2. I’m writing this to warn the Chapala community of the unscrupulous business practices of La Pueblita Retirement Center in west Ajijic. My mother is 85 years old and was living alone in the US. It became clear that her health was declining, so I convinced her to move to Ajijic so I could get her the care she needed and I could be nearby. La Pueblita is very close to my home, and so I went there to see what they offered. Their staff told me La Pueblita offered all levels of elder care, from independent living, to assisted living, to memory care. I told them I needed to get my mom here soon, and they said no worries, their cafeteria would be open in 2 weeks, and they would be opening the memory unit also very soon. I moved my mom her February 25 into a “casita” at La Pueblita. In order to do so I had to pay $4800.00 in membership fees, plus a $2300.00 security deposit and one months rent , for a total of about $9000.00. When my mother arrived the casita was filthy with construction dust, so I had to hire a maid to clean the place. The internet did not work. The cafetería was still not open, and the staff seemed oblivious to the concept of caring for elderly people. Quickly it became obvious that my mother needed assistance, as she was suffering from considerable memory loss. La Pueblita had no possible way of assisting her. They had no laundry service, no food service, no cleaning service, and no internet. On March 12, just 2 weeks after I moved her in, I moved my mother to a facility that actually was equipped to take care of assisted living residents, and I asked La Pueblita for a refund. They put me in contact with Lucas, who told me there was a 90 day waiting period for refunds. After 90 days I contacted Lucas, and he started making all sorts of excuses for why they couldn’t pay, and told me per our agreement only 75 percent of the membership fees would be refunded. After several weeks of calling over and over La Pueblita returned $3500 out of the $9000.00 I paid to have my mother there 2 weeks. Lucas advised they could not refund my security deposit at that time because there was a delay with the banks due to covid. It’s now been almost 5 months and they are still in possession of $5500.00 for my mother to stay in the casita 2 weeks. I know someone else who is experiencing a very similar situation with La Pueblita, so please be extremely careful if you intend on dealing with these people.

  4. Do not go to la pueblita. I took my mother there. La pueblita promised it could provide all levels of assistance to her. Within a few days it was obvious my mother needed full time assistance. Despite the promises, la pueblita did not open its cafeteria, and had no way to assist dementia patients. I paid approximately $5000 in membership fees and $4000 for security deposit and rent, and she was there 2 weeks. That was over 3 months ago and la pueblita refuses to return any money and doesn’t return calls.
  5. Hi I’m new to Ajijic. I play jazz/ blues/ rock guitar and I’m looking for musicians to play with.
