I recall one year in August(about 2008), Club O had closed Papagayo and LeBoutique for renovation, and they offered an evening buffet at the Perch. The resort was only about 25% occupied, and the beach was empty. Watersports employees still collected for the chairs and umbrellas.

edited to change year to 2005** I remember now having to leave early due to Katrina bearing down on New Orleans and having to get home.
