This is not a current review, but one reflective of our experience a long time ago. My experience at Cabanas Cobal dates back 7 years. The cabana's were clean, well kept, and the sea view cabanas had marvelous views of the water, with sea breezes flowing through. The restaurant was open at that time, and we had some great breakfasts....Mexican favorites such as chilaquiles...with mimosas or local juices for a beverage. The dinners were great, and the restaurant had many guests....traditional Mexican dishes were served and they were delicious! We always left full and satisfied, and felt we got our money's worth. The service was great.... we were escorted to our cabana, it was checked for our satisfaction...it was clean and checked to make sure we had plenty of clean water and candles. The sheets and towels were clean, with sculptured towels on the bed. We felt secure and never had a second thought about crawling into our beds and falling asleep to the sea breeze. We woke up the next morning to the sunrise. We had an excellent breakfast when we were ready for it. Later, we found a spot underneath a palapa....with nice lounge chairs, shade, and a small table. The beach cafe served drinks and small snacks or casual lunches.....any mixed beverage you would want...Martguerita, Tequila Sunrise, 7&7...whatever....with Nachos, Ceviche...anything you'd want. When we visited in 2007, it was a dream come true....no pressure, totally eco-friendly, a great value, views and a beach to kill for, great food and beverages, wonderfully accommodating service, well kept beach and other facilities.... Alas, this Cobanas Copal exists no more. We were fortunate to be there on the cusp of their splendor. From the reviews I've read recently, please do not be deceived by their web site into thinking they are the same as they were 5 or 6 years ago...they are not. You will be told a lot about what they have to offer, but please be careful...they are not delivering what they offer. I'm so sad to say these things, because our experience at Cabanas Cobal was so life changing. Since that time, the ownership has changed, and their lease has run out. They are not the same as they were back then. I wish you could have experie3nced what we did...and I hope my review might inspire someone to resurrect Cabanas Copal as it it was. However, it might not have been financially viable, and the lease aspect might not be resolvable. In any case....I wanted people to know what Cabanas Copal was like at it's best.

“very relaxing and beautiful”

Rooms were above average and spacious, staff are very helpful and friendly, food is amazing, onsite wildlife never gets boring, downside is the mosquitos and the extra costs to do any activities is very expensive.

“Copal/Azulik a new look”

My wife and I were at Copal three years ago. It was at a time of some major transsion for the resort. But we fell in love with the simplicity of the place. No electric, was great the candles were very romantic . We walked to town for food. We were there for 5 days. We love the fact that it was clothing optional as well. Sunning and swimming naked was like heaven. So this year we returned and stayed the first two nights in a waterfront cabana in the Copal section. It was delightful as before, but we noticed that there were several new units on the beach (Azulik) so for the next three nights we moved there. Much more spacious, a qurky floor plan with the toilet near the entry and not close to the sink, but other than that it was great. The beach is still clothing optional and to be perfectly honest we might not have come if it weren't. The nudity for us at least seems so right in this simple back to nature resort. The staff is helpful and responsive. The food in town is really world class. And if to go further south there are even more places to eat. Live music is everywhere. Very likely we will return next year, for more food sun and fun..still a very romantic place. Oh BTW I am an Art Consultant and I was pleased to discover so many of the other guests were in the arts as well, it made the stay that much more interesting.
