El Copal is a nice place. Spectacular views. Decent restaurant. Very helpful staff. A great beach destination that's off the beaten path. The cold water shower was a little more annoying than I anticipated. But other than that, I don't have any complaints about the hotel itself. All of that said: The access road to the hotel was completely destroyed... More

We stayed at el copal for three nights. We came by car and we really had to search where it was. We came by car, and it was a real challenge to get there, the last bit of the road to el copal is not good for your car, with great holes and bumps on the 'road'. We were checked... More

Our little cabana was close to the restaurant area while still maintaining a gorgeous view of the ocean!! The lounge area in the restaurant was a divine place to sit - peaceful, great place to read, wireless access, & a nice simple menu. Our room itself was simple - no frills. But had a certain charm was completely comfortable enough.... More

We spent the best time during our trip in Mexico at El Copal, the setting is perfect, the kind and friendly service from the staff is unmatched, the owners Carl and Nadia have done a great job, koru and waldo treated us as if we were at home. It all started at our arrival, from the terrace in the restaurant... More

El copal was everything we were lookijng for in our mexican vacation, clean, beuatiful location, wonderful food, and a friendly and helpful staff. We really felt like part of the family while staying in this eco-paradise. The part that was the most rewardong, however, was the genuinely eco-friemdliness of the hotel. From the solar panels and re-use of their water... More

The Copal is the perfect place to stay in Mazunte: excellent service, the quality of its wonderful food, the finest music and the friendliness of the people (super nice guys) make this my favorite spot in all my journey through Oaxaca. The food was so simple yet delicious and very chic, the freshest tuna I've ever eaten. The kindness of... More

Reservation details were handled professionally and promptly by Nadia (the owner I think) via email, who was not there during our stay, but that is where our good impressions ended. After a tortuous 8 hour trip from Oaxaca we were welcomed by a perfunctory grunt from a surly American at reception tapping on his calculator and demanding the balance of... More

It was really nice to stay at "El copal" It felt like a natural resort, like a peaceful oasis in paradise. We apreciate very much the ecological context and the care in keeping the natural balance of the place.

My wife and I stayed at El Copal for four nights in March. Overall, it was a positive experience. The title of this review may seem like an oxymoron, but it sums up the place. It´s rustic; no AC, dry toilets, a short walk away from everything, but it´s also pretty luxurious; gorgeous view, everything is clean and well taken... More
