Journal Entry #86 - Posted on Sunday March 30th, 2008 at 1:08 pm by Anne Watcher
When we arrived in Santa Elena we were only going to stay for one night but we decided to stay for two nights when we found the Tree House Hotel conveniently located right in the heart of town. The bus stops right across the street and of much to my delight a coffee and ice cream shop was also there.
The building is built around a 60 year old fig tree with an open air lobby, internet cafe and tour offices occupying the main floor. The second floor restaurant is as close to being part of the tree as possible. Food was good, atmosphere is cozy and there was live music (flamenco guitar) when we were there. The rooms on the third floor are clean, spacious and have a hot water shower. Cost for 2: $45.00 US (taxes incl) They also have a room that will sleep 7 people for families or groups.
Main lobby with staircase leading to the restaurant.
Dining area with the tree lit up. It is open air out to the street and you have to duck
branches to get to some of the tables.
View from the coffee shop across the street.
Rooms on the third floor. It was so cool to have nature greet you in the morning.
