Copamarina Beach Resort - Guanica

My wife and I loved the resort. The staff was friendly, the grounds well maintained. We used it as a home base to explore other parts of the island. It was nice coming back to a place where you could just relax, lie in a hammock and let the wind cool you down. The rooms are clean (i.e. no musty smells). The water pressure was a little low so if you […] like a hard shower, you might have to let it go. There is a boat to a small island go early and enjoy a small private, like almost nobody there in sections beach. If you get lost getting there you may need to call a few times to get the directions right. I think it is a cultural thing that directions are not that exact, as bad directions happened all over the island. Do NOT follow GPS directions or you may end up adding 2 hours to your journey :) Use the GPS to let you know you are going in the right direction only. Again, I highly recommend the resort and would go again. Read more

The Copa is an off-the-path cultured island paradise. A beachfront deluxe puts only a little sand between you and the sparkling-clear water. Take a day trip to an island, snorkel or dive, or enjoy the day exploring. The amenities are complete with a wonderful, authentic restaurant, and people who fuss over your experience. The small town of Guanica […] has also what you need by way of supplies too. The people in this area are genuine, kind, and caring. A wonderful place you will never forget. Read more

It was a unique vacation. Site and surrounding are beautiful. Food & staff service were excellent. We strongly recommend it.

Everything you need for a family getaway - great pool; nice beach; superb snorkling, kajaking, sailing.... good food; it's all here.... which is good - because there is not much else around. I actually wanted to give this a bad rating so others would not discover how *perfect* this place is. I hope they do not change a thing. If you are high maintenance, […] forget it - this is not the place for you - if you are looking for a quiet - low stress - relaxing and beautiful spot.... you won't do any better than this spot on the south coast.

Well trained staff that welcomed us during our entire stay. The setting is absolutely perfect, occupying a quiet stretch of beach. The trip to Gilligan's Island was fun. We explored the canals. A bit of a warning... on the outer rim of the island the current was strong, taking you away from the island. I am a strong swimmer but did not have fins, so […] swimming against the current was a challenge. My husband and I enjoyed a hike in the nearby dry forest and saw the centurion tree. We also walked a bit on a rugged beach area a couple miles down the road. The Copamarina property was well maintained with two large pools and plenty of lounge chairs. The food at the open air restaurant was delicious. We tried many of the options during our three-day stay. We highly recommend this jewel of a resrort! Read more

This hotel is far away from everything and you don't feel like driving all the way to find bars or restaurants. Knowing that, the hotel put high prices on food and beverages...stop by a grocery store on your way to the hotel!

Wonderful find. The Copamarina is a great hotel for those looking to be outside the very busy, touristic San Juan area. Great for families. Beautiful landscape around the hotel, colorful bushes, plenty of palm trees and the all the rooms have view on the beach. Many swimming pools.The staff is courteous and really nice. Two restaurants and a pool bar. […] Plenty of food to choose from but nothing really extraordinary. On a good note, their mofongo with fish on the Las Palmas Cafe menu is very good and tasty! The con for families with very young children, the rooms only have showers and no bathtubs! Read more

This is the second time we stayed at Copamarina and our stay again exceeded our expectations. The resort pools and hot tubs and rooms are clean, clean, clean! Wi fi quality is excellent. The park next to the beach allows plenty of room for walking/jogging in the morning right next to the sea. I felt safe, as the resort is off the beaten path. There […] is a store close by to pick up any food and a fridge in the room which is nice. The air conditioners in the room are of good quality and quiet. The staff is courteous and spa treatments are great. This is a great get away. Read more

We had a wonderful stay at the Copamarina resort (4 days). It was in late January and during the week. The place was less than 30% full. It was very quiet and enjoyable (mostly couples, only a few kids). Compared to our nights in San Juan (Condado) it was heaven (no loud music, no drunks in or around the pools, no kids running around). The staff is […] extremely helpful and friendly. The on site restaurant is very good and the daily fresh catch is great. The wait staff is very good and attentive. Beyond the on site restaurant there are very few options during the week unless you drive to Ponce or some other places 30 minutes away. The resort is close to the Dry Forest which offers some nice hikes. Read more

Relaxing stay, as always at Copamarina. Entire staff cheerful and helpful. Greatly disappointed that the Alexandra Restaurant was closed during the week; Copamarina should make that clear in its advertising and on its website. But the cafe has greatly improved its menu since our last visit two years ago, with several delicious Puerto Rican specialt […] ies. Read more

The check in process was smooth with the receptionist showing us all the amenities of the resort on a map. The room itself was in need of an update. It was furnished in the 1980s style and reminded me of the 80s show "married with children." The shower left much to be desired with insufficient water pressure as well as a showerhead clogged with white […] matter of unknown origin. The bathtub could also be cleaner. The room was an ocean view but there wasn't much ocean to "view" from that distance. We were disappointed. We even looked up other resorts and considered canceling and rebooking elsewhere. However, I am very glad that we did not. The next morning we contacted the front desk with our grievances and they took care of everything the same day. The shower head was replaced, room was meticulously cleaned and the bathtub looked very inviting. The staff are very professional and do make you feel at home. They were truly amicable and congenial. The grounds of the resort are nothing short of breathtaking. The manicured lawns, the palm trees and the well maintained pool(s) are really splendid.very good but pricey. A $14 omelet in Guanica seems a tad high to me. Drinks are also priced "aggressively." I don't think I have tried a $9 mojito at an island resort before. Also, you cannot bring a cooler. Dinner is about $100 for 3 course with Drinks. So would I do it all over again? Maybe. If the prices were tamer, especially the food then I would be more likely to return. Read more

Copamarina is a lovely property located in the dry forest near the depressed town of Guanica.The hotel itself was reasonably priced and well-maintained. Dining options are few and a car is an absolute necessity. The on-site Las Palmas restaurant had tasy food and was fairly priced, although the menu items did not change during our 5 night stay.Alexandr's […] is the fine dining place on-site, but it is only open Friday and Saturday nights when there are sufficient guests to warrant the event. The hotel was quite empty while we were there last week, so we had great weather and no noise at all. The Hotels.com price was competitive, but did not allow for selecting a meal plan option. Since big eaters could easily consume more than the $15pp plan unlimited breakfast cost, I'd recommend that option on-site. Read more

We recently stayed at the Copamarina Resort in Guanica, Puerto Rico. The resort was beautiful and relaxing. Great for families. Our only complaint would have been the remoteness of the area. It was our first trip to the island and we had no idea how far from anything the resort was located. If you're looking for a secluded location to just relax, it […] is perfect. But if you like to do local sightseeing, you might consider staying elsewhere. We loved the weather, everyone was friendly and we would probably go back to Puerto Rico, just not to Copamarina Beach Resort. We would stay closer to the things we wanted to see in Puerto Rico. I should also mention, it's a little difficult to find. The road leading to the resort twists and turns up a small mountain and it is a very narrow road with no street lights. We thought we were completely lost. One more thing, skip Gilligans Island. It's dirty (my husband actually saw several rats) - much more relaxing to stay at the resort beach. Read more

A beautiful location, quiet, nicely designed hotel with lovely views of the Caribbean Sea. For those who make their own entertainment- it's somewhat isolated, but I liked that. Not a lot of choices for dining without getting in your car, although the food at the hotel's cafe and restaurant was good. They should dredge the beach to make swimming right […] in front an easier thing. Read more

Hotel Copamarina has a good location for relaxation and water activities. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The restaurant's menu was delicious and portions were satisfying. The service was excellent every time. There are not that many restaurants close by. We took a boat ride to Gilligans Island, about 10 minutes away from the hotel, and it was […] a very enjoyable way to spend the day on the water. The next day we rented one of their kayaks for two hours. You can go through keys where the water is crystal clear. The hotel also has an infinity pool, two jacuzzi, and another pool. Great fun for kids. I will recommend this hotel to couples that want to get away for a relaxed vacation and families with kids. Read more

Convenient scuba trips leaving from the dock. Colorful wall and reef dives. Two different pool areas (children & adults) both with food/bar service with great views of beach and water.

It was exactly what I was expecting of the facilities. The hotel beach is not for swimmers, but the have nice options. The public beach is walking distance and they have a boat that every hour takes you to a small island with paradisiac beaches for $7. The inhouse cafe is too expensive for what it serves. You can visit also La Parguera Bio Bay is a […] 35 min drive away. Service great. Read more

We liked the CopaMarina Resort for its beautiful tropical and lush atmosphere. Liked the pools and being right on the beach. Loved walking out of our hotel room onto the grass and close to pools and beach. We got a nice room with the pool in front of us, so we can see our daughters swimming from our room. The breakfast at the restaurant was delicious […] and top notch! The service at breakfast was warm and inviting. The only thing I didn't like about our stay was that upon check in, the front desk staff wasn't friendly at all. The beauty of the resort didn't match the service upon check in. Also there were a lot of mosquitos around the resort. Location wise, its up a long winding road and when you get to the bottom, there aren't nearby things to do. Just highway and a burger king.

I think overall this was a comfortable place to stay. I did not like that the shower did not drain. Water up to our ankles in the shower. I asked it to be fixed, someone came to fix it, but still the water did not drain. We had 2 rooms and this was the case in both rooms. Lots of seaweed in the Carribean but still ok to swim and have fun. Great snorkeling […] on Gilligans Island which is a must see. Hotel staff did not tell us to bring water or food to Gilligans Island which I think they should have communicated to us. We had to go back to get more water and food. Read more

The Hotel is right on the beach, if you get a ocean front room, you can walk out the beach door and intot he water. Each room has room access from the open air entry corridor and a patio (those ont he ground floor walk out to the water front about 150 feet away). This is a relaxed hotel, nobody is in a hury. If this is what you are looking for ten you […] have the right place. If you expect split secod service it will take a little longer. The staff are very helpful, plesent and engauge you in discussion about where you are from the Island. Several of the staff went out of their way to give driving directions to point of interest. The open air restaurant has a limited menu but it is very good, for those staying over a week and dining in the hotel every evening this may be a small issue. In internal restaurant was only open on the weekends but this may have been due to the time of the season. The beach direcly in front of the hotel is not sandy (sandy on shore but a lot of undergrowth and stones in the water), but the public beach aout 500 feet west is good. I used the PADI diving outlet at the site and it was excellent. The dive master and captain were very professional and looked after the dive party of 8 very carefully. There are very few locations near the hotel to dine. The rooms are a little basic but clean. A little investment to upgrade the rooms wold make this hotel outstanding. The last 4 miles to the hotel are via a single lane road, be careful Read more

Gentle caribbean waves with soothing effects and quiet nights under the stars for a moment to remember. Resort beach is great for suntanning but not swimming, however, public beach is within walking distance and it is well maintained and secured for everyone alike. A visit to Gilligan's Island is a must but be prepared and bring drinks/light food. Resort […] staff is very nice. Rest overcooked my steak (from med to a well done) but the port/mushroom glaze compensated. A/C units not too quiet and very old for a resort moving to be green.

I first choose CopaMarina because it looked liked a place to relax. Well it definitely lived up to its other reviews and pictures. We stayed for a total of 8 days. When we first arrived the first thing we noticed were the well kept grounds and landscape. Then we were welcomed by two customer service reps at the front desk.... They took the time to let […] us know where things were located and told us to ask if we needed anything. The rooms were clean and kept that way throughout the week. The house keepers changed our linen daily if requested and swept and mopped our floors every other day. Once inside the room we opened a back door that lead to a patio area...what a view...very relaxing. our whole week was so relaxing and enjoyable. Everyone was so nice and helped with any request we had. We will definitely go back in the future and highly recommend CopaMarina Beach Resort to everyone. Read more
