Copal Tree Lodge a Muy'Ono Resort

From start to finish probably the nicest, most friendly and accommodating staff associated with a resort I’ve ever experienced. Greeted at the lodge with a refreshing ginger drink, escorted to our room with a smile and welcomed by everyone who calls Punta Gorda home warmly. Food was fantastic (especially the papaya jam and fry bread for breakfast, anything with snook at dinner), cocktails were expertly crafted and every tour showed the passion and pride that Copal Tree staff have for the organic products they produce. Whether you decide to do coffee/chocolate/rum tours, snorkel with the chef or mixology class, you will learn something, enjoy the awe of nature and interact with friendly people from multiple cultures who work as part of the Copal Tree Lodge staff. The lodge itself also allows for guests to interact with each other and become friends over the course of the week due to its intimate layout which is quite unique. I wish I could personally thank everyone we met throughout the week but some names have escaped me - Andres, Desmond, Mike, Tim are only a few that made the week notable. Copal Tree Lodge is a special place because of the beautiful lush property but more so because of the talented and caring individuals who work there - thank you for allowing us into your family for a week.

This stay far exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely pristine, the suites are luxurious with beautiful views of either the river or the mountains. We took the kayaks out multiple times to paddle through the stunning peaceful river. The spa massage was surprisingly better than any massage I’ve had in the states. We chose the hot stone massage and Bernize did a phenomenal job. I am counting down the days until we can come back!

The whole place is insane! The staff are incredible - everything is above and beyond all the time. Aside from an incredibly polished experience, the accommodations are top notch, comfy, cozy, breathtaking. We'll definitely be bringing people back. As a few tired healthcare workers, this was more than recharging.
