We were in Zihu a few years ago and thought that when we returned we would like to stay at Las Gatas. Sadly we heard Owen Lee passed away.
Is the Las gatas beach club still open or what has become of it?

I haven't heard that Owen Lee has passed away. Where did you hear this?

Rob, Happy to say Owen is still with us! He's living in Barcelona with his lady Charo. Last I heard he was in Virginia at a speech therapy clinic. As Mark Twain famously quoted "rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!"

We are glad we stayed at Las Gatas Beach Club years ago( reminded us of a tropical fish camp). After purchasing a week at Pacifica Grand, a couple of times when we went to Las Gatas Beach, we walked over to his place and had a chance to spend some time with him. He was one Free Spirit. He had such dreams and the corruption put a damper a on what he wanted to do.

Thank you Senor Paul for confirming that Owen is being well looked after and still with us. You, thankfully, were instrumental in seeing that Kim and I got to meet and spend some time with Owen. I'm not sure that I've met someone as interesting and honest thinking as him. I have read his book several times and enjoy more each time.

If you use FaceBook...Owen can be reached through that media. Just send a friend invitation to him.
