I got the following answers to the price and restaurant and store. The restaurant and store were closed during the really slow season of June. So that is my input from Cabanas Copal....bill in tulsa
I was told they had an employee that was stealing from them and Ken has been offered a free night when he comes back.
I asked him
: "Cuantos cuesta?" (how much?) Their web site clearly states that ALL cabanas with common bath are $20 per night during
: the low season. He insisted on $30. I finally got him down to $22 only because I didn't want to go hiking with my bags looking
: for another place. I then asked him to show me "un otra cabana." (another cabana - and please give me a break on my
: Spanish!)
: He then showed me one with a cement floor, high up on a hill with a fantastic view where the cabana caught the ocean
: breeze from almost 180 degrees. This is one that normally rents for $40 a night. I told him I would take this one. He didn't ask
: for more money.
: I was quite disappointed to find that, despite what the website said, there was no restaurant on the site or grocery store.
