I just read on Orientbeach.com that Club O has converted the community room/library into a 2 bedroom chalet. It doesn't seem like the best spot for a chalet. The library has been relocated to the boutique. If this has previously been reported here, I'll delete. If someone has been there recently, maybe they could elaborate.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

I hadn't heard that. I am not surprised though. Think about it, how much money does a library make them?? ...versus having another rental unit?

JoeD1949 said: the view INTO the unit from the restaurant is excellent!) LOL. It will get rented though. Maybe they'll charge a tiny bit less, but at high season someone will rent it.

..and, as I said, whatever rent they get from it will be more income than they got from the library...

It's true. It was like that in May. Plans are for the much reduced library to be relocated near where the laundry room is. Not completely sure of that location. I was told that would be completed when they close in September. I totally agree that the 2 bedroom unit isn't ideally placed. I wouldn't want to be behind Papagayo!

There is a wide selection of books in several languages. We've always traded in the books that we've read. The room also included a big-screen TV, ping-pong table & other games. A nice place to spend a little time on a rainy day.

Unfortunately, when they moved the "library" to it's temporary location in the Boutique they got rid of many many of the old books. Vanessa told me that the books were in bad condition. The old library had loads of books in multiple languages as you said.
