Here are a bunch of pictures we took yesterday of Orient. We did NOT go to Club O side, so no pictures of there yet. I took a bunch more pictures of various places around Orient, but a lot of them, I don't know exactly what they were.

Bikini is going to be BEAUTIFUL. My guess is that they may open just for chairs and the bar relatively soon, but it sure seems like the restaurant is going to be quite a while.

Absolutely great photos! Orient Beach is coming back to life and it is so uplifting to see the steady progress being made. I still believe that this upcoming November is going to be key. If just one-third of the previous establishments are up-and-running then the high season will bring back much of revenue lost from this past year. Now, if they would only start to rebuild Pedro's and Papagayo's! Thanks for posting.

Great photos. Bikinii looks to be fantastic when finished. Can't wait till May comes around.

The bar is Coda. Very lively. Has fresh breads in the morning. Sandwiches during the day.

I just heard about this place today. Live music at least on Thursday; I have that penciled in on my calendar.

We didn't get there the other day, as we were going to lunch and I didn't want to take the time to drive all the way out the one entrance and then go back in the other entrance. (For those that don't know, that gate by the remains of Kontiki is closed. )

We probably are going to Club Orient today.

By the way, it's pretty easy to upload pictures directly to a post, or to the photo album section.
