I stayed at Cabanas Copal for two nights and found the hotel very quiet. It is now essentially a part of Azulik and they share the same checkin desk. They Mayan Spa is on site as well but I did not have any services there. Cabanas Copal was much larger in the past and now a large fence divides the... More

This place is terrible and not worth a peso... it is in the middle of the jungle and unless you pay 300 USD a night you will not see the ocean at all. It is possible to reach the beach via a stairway, however the beach is so rocky that you will neither be able to swim nor to escape... More

This would be our fourth trip to Tulum. Our third staying at Copal. We stayed in a partial sea-view cabana. Comfortable bed, good housekeeping and good access to a beach that we really enjoy. As always, we had a nice stay with good service. We met some fun people and had a great time. They no longer have a restaurant,... More

We have stayed at Copal a number of times in the past, but this certainly is NOT what it used to be. There is a very ugly chain link fence that was put in next to La Casitta which is now more or less a part of Azulik and it's covered with dead palm leaves that are tied on there...... More

Some of the cabanas are situated in a jungle the other have view on the caraibian sea. Inside you will find a comfortable bed with a big mosquito net, a wooden table, two glasses and four candles. There is no electricity so be prepared for going to bed just after the sun set (5pm). If you do so you will... More

The setting at Cabanas Copal is just stunning - right on the white sand beach. We stayed in a cabana with a sand floor and loved the sound of the ocean coming through our "walls". I did the free yoga class every morning and found it to be great. The common areas are wonderful for hanging out, reading a book,... More

I recently returned from a week long stay at Cabanas Copal, my 13th consecutive year to visit either Copal or Azulik. For the past several years I have stayed in Copal's Cabana #28, AKA, the Casita. I love this unit. It's slightly larger than, and served as the prototype for, the upscale sister hotel- "Azulik" which is next door. While... More

Having read negative reviews about Cabanas Copal and the recent changes, we arrived for a week's stay in late March with low expectations. Happily, we were pleasantly surprised to find most of the comments untrue, at least for us. We had very friendly and helpful service, especially from the desk personnel at Azulik, plenty of candles, clean sheets and towels... More
