On our visit we decided to stay in Tulum that is about 2 hours’ drive depending on traffic, as we did not want a beach hotel and all-inclusive, we booked the Copal Hotel. We were not quite sure what to expect and as usual before we made the booking, we checked the reviews on Tripadvisor, that gives you a good indicator what you can expect. We arrived at midnight all was dark, so we could not see a lot, our room was of good size, nice and clean, the only comment to make that I was not able to watch some news on the smart TV, even using the browser. After a good night sleep, we made our way to the restaurant along a small path surrounded by native tropical plants that felt like being in the jungle, we passed a small swimming pool that was embedded in this beautiful natural environment. The semi open restaurant Opal gastro & bar that was quaint and fitted so well into this relaxing setting, including a few tables next to the pool. During our stay we had some lovely food in this restaurant and the staff were most helpful and friendly. The place never felt crowded a real gem to chill out. One person that stud out during our stay was Ivy at the reception, she was always friendly, a fountain of knowledge in regards of the area and nothing was too much for her. A true ambassador for the Opal Hotel. To summarize our visit, we had a wonderful stay at Copal and thank you to all the wonderful staff. We will be back.
