Traveller Reviews on Copper Canyon

Margarita's Plaza Mexicana

4 of 5 stars
Portland/Seattle

1/1 found this review helpful

While visiting friends in nearby Cuauhtémoc, this hotel was highly recommended for our trip to explore the Copper Canyon. After a beautiful two hour drive, we arrived to the quaint town of Creel where we immediately spotted the hotel upon arriving to the Centro. Before booking our room, we made an inspection for ourselves and found the rooms to be... more

Hotel Posada del Hidalgo What a great hotel in the colonial El Fuerte… from the moment we walked in we fell in love with the place. We just could not get enough of the Hotel and I must have take dozens of photographs of the Hotel and courtyards. What came to mind when we walked in was charming, appealing, and... more

This place can't be beaten. The location is spectacular. The drive there from the station ......... you need to experience it to believe it. We went there as part of a Canyon Travel tour. Spent 2 nights there but could have done with more time to do more walking. Views from the lodge are probably the best in the region.... more

Best Western The Lodge at Creel

Belfast, N Ireland

1/1 found this review helpful

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Western Lodge in Creel. The town itself is a backwoods place with some of that sleepy indolence of old-style Mexico, but the hotel is well-run and looks after its guests well. I have just read some of the negative reviews that others have posted on this site and I can... more

My wife and I were fortunate to book two nights at the Uno Lodge through Canyon Travel although we did not book a tour with them. This Tarahumara -owned lodge is very eco-friendly and an integral part of the community (The Tarahumara are the indigenous tribe found throughout the Canyon territories). We were extremely fortunate to have the place to... more

I have stayed in some bad hotels before in small towns but this is by far the worst - it feels so unsafe and is dirty and gross. If the Best Western 3 doors down had any rooms available we would have moved for any price. We arrived off the train in the late afternoon and were picked up by... more

Posada Mirador

3 Oct 2008

We just returned last week from our independent trip to the Copper Canyon. I had placed my room reservations with them directly through their website (I worked w/ Yanira Espinoza who was very helpful and nice). In order to make independent room reservations with them, you will need to do a wire transfer. Luckily they have bank accounts set up... more

Margarita's Plaza Mexicana

Santa Fe, New Mexico
26 Sep 2008

We were not able to book this property until we arrived in Creel. Many of the properties in Creel are very worn or are generic motel style. Margaritas has some charm in comparison. It has a nice lobby, dining room with mural and pleasant courtyard. The rooms are a little tight with low ceilings but are fine. They offer heat... more

Last month, we took a tour with Canyon Travel to the western section Copper Canyon .The transportation, accommodations, food and personnel were all we expected and more, a toughly enjoyable trip. Our only criticism is prior to departure; we made numerous calls to Canyon Travel’s office for information. All we got was an answer machine and none of our calls... more

Bloomington, IN
11 Sep 2008

We stayed in this hotel for two nights the first week in September, 2008, as part of a trip on the Sierra Madre Express. Our room was on the third level so we had no one above us and an uninterrupted view from our balcony of the stunning canyon and its mists, stars, and the fires of the Raramuri at... more

Rough and lengthy train ride/ bus ride from El Paso and back. Staying one nite in a hotel for most of the time is very hurried and stressful. There was little time for romantic moments. We ached all over from walking, the train ride, etc. Keeping the schedule was of major importance or one got left behind. Coffee or tea... more

Hotel Torres Del Fuerte

Gladewater, Texas

It is a stunningly beautiful place. Senor Torres and family are the most welcoming and gracious hosts. The drinks are great and the food is absolutely amazing. They have in incredible chef. We went in the off-season for tourism so it was just us and the Torres family. I cannot express how much I truly enjoyed their company in the... more

I don't quite get the castle theme in central Mexcio. A bit strange. Although others have had nice things to say about Maria, the owner/manager, I found her to be unhelpful and cold tending to down right rude. She was much more interested in speaking at length to her staff than attending to the guests that needed her attention. The... more

Stayed here for 1 night during a trip through the Copper Canyon. Such a magical place! We were greeted at the front gate by the owner himself - a charming man, to say the least! He made us feel so welcome, giving us the history of the hotel and a personal tour. Each room is individually decorated and each is... more

We six (wonderful and plucky) women had a fabulous 7 day adventure in Copper Canyon, orchestrated beautifully by Canyon Travel. All planes, trains and taxis were met, all drivers excellent and cheerful, all guides knowledgeable and trusty, all food delicious. All we had to do was provide the laughter and enjoy the remarkable majesty of the Copper Canyon. The vistas... more

My recent trip with Canyon Travel, to visit the Copper Canyon in Mexico, exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Canyon Travel puts together a tour that allows one to experience the remoteness of this little known geological wonder, while staying in well maintained lodges and riding a train that affords views of spectacular scenery. My particular favorite was Uno Lodge,... more

Visitors to the Copper Canyon region who can fit some extra time in their schedule should make the side trip to Batopilas from Creel a very high priority. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, Batopilas is very remote. It takes most of a day to travel to Batopilas from Creel and most of another day for... more

Hotel Real de Carapoa

I spent two nights at this hotel, at the beginning and end of a 10 day trip in the Copper Canyon area. It is a very pleasant, small, comfortable hotel next to the town square, accessed from a pedestrian-only street. The rooms are large and clean. The service was very personable and friendly. I even spent some time in the... more

I stayed that this hotel as pat of a 10 day independent trip to the Copper Canyon area arranged through Copper Canyon Adventures in El Fuerte. When I stayed at the hotel, I was the only guest staying in the new canyon view rooms located directly on the canyon rim. The room was large, clean and comfortable. I watched sunset... more

. . .as it was closed when we arrived I can't tell you what it was like to stay at! We had a 2 night confirmed pre-paid reservation through one of the biggest ground agents in Mexico, and set off in our hire car down the 5 hour road to get there. We arrived there at 1pm and everything was... more
