Ken--The Perch used to be pretty close to Pedro's on the beach, yes. Since Irma, they re-built the Perch Lite, and the location is a bit further back from the ocean, and they actually have a larger menu than the old Perch, which is good, since of course Papagayo is no longer there. There are some threads here, stating that the Club O section of the beach is fairly busy, the rest of the beach, not so much.

Orient Village is vibrant and alive, much better than Grand Case, which is pretty quiet still. You also have a lot of shops and stores, including Super U, etc, in Hope Estates, which is also quite busy.

Not sure on Orient Beach Hotel.

Enjoy!
