First, allow me to preface that my stay was in February 2004 (not 2003... which was the latest option above).

I recently returned from my first trip to southern Mexico. I spent three days in Merida and 4 days at Cabanas Copal, Tulum. As a relatively young female traveling alone, a number of factors can make or break an experience.

I found my stay at the Cabanas Copal to be the highlight of my vacation. The customer service was polite, helpful and accessible. The spa services were top notch (and I have well over 200 massages to compare to), the morning yoga was more than just a 'watch and copy' experience... the instructor described the positions as we progressed and a second person periodically walked around the room to help us achieve the balance and positions to the best of our individual abilities and always within the range of our comfort.

I found my partial sea-view room to be quite lovely... I awoke every morning to the sunrise over the water and showered under a conch-shell shower head. I slept under the mosquito net, although I never saw a biting insect during my stay... I suppose I slept under it more for the ambience. The candle-light at night was very relaxing... if you stay at Cabanas Copal, please remember that other guests may be resting and keep your flashlight use to a minimum. I found the candle-light on the paths to be more than adequate.

The food at the hotel restaurants all along the beach tend to be tourism-priced, but the quality was also uniformly good.

As far as activities go, I recommend renting a bicycle for a day and riding to the Tulum ruins at 0700 before it gets hot and crowded... I would also recommend riding out to a couple of the cenotes in the afternoon for a refreshing dip in the cool, fresh waters. If you have your scuba certification, DEFINITELY DIVE! The company that works on site is Dive Tulum. They were able to set up a very personalized experience including a start time that allowed me to wake, have yoga and breakfast in a very leisurely style. I found the dive master to be professional, highly skilled and fun to dive with. There are reefs all over the world and we have all dove them... it would be a crime to come to this magical area and not dive the cenote caverns. The dives are not deep, so you have plenty of time to look around... bring an underwater camera if you have access to one. You won't see sights like this anywhere else!

I travel a lot... and very rarely do I go to the same place twice (after all, it is a big planet!). However, I will certainly return to Cabanas Copal... and next time I will bring my friends as well.
