Ernesto Coppel's 750-hectare resort in Mexico is a testament to his adventurous spirit and successful career in the tourism industry. The resort, located on the beachfront in Los Cabos, showcases his personal style and global travels. Coppel, a tourism tycoon, shares his love story with Gabriela Camus, his Spanish-born wife, and reflects on his journey in the industry.
Coppel's passion for travel is evident in his home's eclectic decor, featuring travel discoveries, family heirlooms, and unique flea-market finds. The Greek vase and quadriga, dating back to 450 BC, are standout pieces. Coppel's favorite room is the bedroom, offering stunning sea views and a comfortable ambiance. The couple spends nine months a year at the resort, enjoying the magnificent weather and occasional trips to California or Canada during the summer.
Coppel's success in the tourism industry is attributed to his chance encounter with a sales position at 30. He overcame financial struggles and personal challenges, building a successful career. His toughest challenge was weathering economic crises and tourism slumps, but he emerged unscathed with a strong team. Coppel's future goals include expanding the company's timeshare portfolio and constructing a St Regis hotel and golf course.
Gabriela Camus, Coppel's wife, admires his generosity, vision, and support for personal growth. She runs a foundation supporting abused women and the elderly and is passionate about personal development. Coppel's success and generosity have made him a respected figure in Mexico, with his daughter Bárbara and her husband, Alejandro HankAmaya, forming a powerful couple in the country.
