I haven't seen much lately about Club O and its status. Is re-opening no longer considered a possibility?
We spent some of our best vacations there going back to 1993. We were not able to return after 2000. I know there have been many changes to the beach and the new businesses there and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
We loved Orient when you could take a morning and evening stroll the length of the beach without any problems or hassle .The owners of the resort hosted a wine and cheese get together once a week and that was a good mixer for the guests. Dinner at Papagayo's was a delight with the stars out and the moon rising while we enjoyed good food and good conversation with old and new friends.
But I guess Thomas Wolfe was right...you can't go home again. That doesn't mean you can't wish you could.
