Today Ms. Gloria (my neighbor) took me to Cotton Tree Lodge and I got a chance to look around. It is a beautiful lodge. Ms. Gloria used to work there a few years back. The reason we went was because she wanted to go visit some of her co-workers. The reason she stopped working there was because she got burnt out. Ms. Gloria said she used to do absolutely everything there!
Here is what the lonely planet has to say about Cotton Tree Lodge: “Luxury, environmentalism and intense beauty meet a few miles north of the village of San Felipe and 10 miles from PG. Its here you’ll find Cotton Tree Lodge, 100 acres of the swankest jungle savannah you’re likely to find anywhere. The property is outstandingly beautiful, with amazing views of the nearby Maya mountain range on the western horizon. All of Cotton Tree’s thatched-roof cabins are luxuriously furnished in a superb jungle/hardwood motif, and all (including the remote ‘jungle cabin’ nearly 0.25 miles away) are connected to the main restaurant-bar area via a network of elevated wooden boardwalks that spans over the entire property. The resort’s power (including heating for the Jacuzzi) is partially provided by 15 solar panels, and plans are in the works to commit even further to alternative energy. Most of the food served in the lodge’s excellent restaurant is bought locally, with some vegetables coming from the on-site organic garden. Activities include hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing and bird watching.”
I would like to stay here… but, too expensive for a Peace Corps budget!
