TV (the original topic): I love it, it will be a nice touch on a rainy day or evening and I expect it will be popular. CO is a bit rustic but it's not camping, it's a hotel and nearly every other one has TV. Brings it up to date a bit. If it's not wanted, don't turn it on.

Grill: I keep one down there and use it plenty but you can also buy one for next to nothing at many places, including La Boutique. They also sell frozen Omaha Steak style stuff (including fish, lobster, duck, etc) and pretty much anything else you need. I bring down my own steaks, burgers etc but we still eat at Papagayo a lot because it's good and it's a fun part of the experience.
