gotaluvit said: I just saw an article claiming that the original Pedro's sat where Papagayo's is now. Do any of you remember being there, seeing it? Embarrassing to admit, but I have no clue where Pedro's is today but I thought, digging waaaay back into my memory, the original Pedro's was a half drum BBQ pit in and at the edge of the sand with a cooler next to it for cold drinks. You asked him what he was serving that day and either placed your lunch order then or did without. That might have been the early to mid 70's. But then again, that might also have been some other young entrepreneur who predated him. I do remember that this was the only food possibility along the beach back then.......short of bringing your own, that is, and it was also before the days of the Club O most of us know today. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Gee, Pat, it's been a long time since you've been to that end of Orient, if you don't know where Pedro's is. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />
Club Orient was already there, the first time we visited Orient, so I always remember Pedro's being where it is now. And the thing with ordering drinks at one window and food at another, again, they did that until pretty recently. I remember being pretty shocked the first time we went there and they actually had table service! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Back in the day when we first met it.....Orient was quiet, undeveloped and you could pretty much count on having the beach to yourself or sharing it with just another two or three couples and the ORIGINAL Club O denizens for the full expanse of the beach.
Once it started being developed it lost a lot of it's appeal for us and I think, in all honesty, the last time we were there, my almost sixteen year old Grandson was but a toddler, and even then, we were at the quiet end of the beach.
We were so totally turned off that day we've not bothered going back, and I do know that was a particularly bad day on Orient, but there are so many beaches we love that we really don't miss it much. And we do have Mullet conveniently at our toes so that's where we spend many of our beaching days.
Respectfully,
pat
