Just returned from a 6-night stay with our soon-to-be 4-year old son and LOVED this resort. We had the 1-bedroom suite, which was perfect for us. The pools are all kid friendly. We had read about the beach being grassy, which is was, but thought that the walk to the next beach would be more of a hike, it is literally right there, and grass-free with a better sandy area, picnic tables, etc. Do what we did and stop at the K-Mart in Yacao (sp?) on drive from San Juan to Copamarina. We bought 2 cheap beach chairs and beach toys for our son and just brought them with us to that next beach - it was GREAT.

Staff all very friendly. PR is a very child-friendly place.

Our son was a little sick the first few days and they gave us no problem ordering our food (we were on the all-inclusive) to go, bagging it up for us and calling our room when it was ready to be picked up... even our wine!

TV reception not that great. I know it's a vacation, but if you have a toddler, having the Disney channel keep fading out while you are trying to get yourself ready is a pain. Bring DVDs and your own little player.

Don't know what the fuss is about the SCUBA place. My partner was able to get certified while we were there and had a great time.

If you're a jogger, leave the property and jog to the left. It's a great run and awesome scenery - Caribbean Sea to your right and the dry desert on your left. Also, drive to end of that road (334?) and hike that trail. Really great at sunset - but bring some bug spray!

We had a car and went to Borequn (sp?) beach and loved it... buy pineapple and cold coconut with straw in it from roadside stands along the way. Also spent one morning in Ponce which was very nice.

If you ARE a parent, having the playground area by where you eat breakfast and lunch is awesome. If kids get antsy they can play and you can keep an eye on them.

We'll be coming here again, I'm sure.

Honestly I loved my stay in the Copamarina beach resort & spa ... it was beautiful and lovely! ... We loved everything in the resort. Especially the pools, the beach, the food, the rooms, the service. We we're a little sad because we really wanted to go to Guilligans Island, but they said it was under repair and waiting to get the island to it's natural habitat ( that was fine with me ) ... but we did go to "Whale Beach" ( do not remeber the exact name in spanish ) and was really good, not that deep but good .... The staff was more than helpfull especially Lisbeth and Miguel ( from the dive center and water equipment store ) .. they we're reallty great, always laughing .. making us feel like we we're part of the family and made us feel very comfortable, ( My wife loved Miguel, like Lisbeth said "He's a fashion guru" ). They we're always they're if we needed help or assistance. Staff like them made our entire stay very joyfull and fun for the whole family. ( all the staff was great ) .. Also Ruben 'bellman' he was very helpful.


We can't wait to go back next year, and to see everybody again !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of all the resorts we booked for our stay in Puerto Rico this was our favorite. We booked it to be semi-close to the bioluminescent bay in La Parguera (about 20 min) and were very impressed with the resort. Even though it is a little off the beaten path, I think that is part of what gives it its charm. We had a great room with a private terrace overlooking the water. The beach area was great with plenty of chairs, straw huts, etc. and a waiter circulating regularly for drinks, food, etc. We ate lunch at the outside bar/restaurant and found the food great and reasonably priced. We ate dinner at Alexandra's (the resort restaurant) after reading good reveiws about it. It was definitely good food, but of course higher prices than their outside restaurant/bar b/c it was finer dining - well worth it though! They also have a shop where they set up snorkeling/dive trips. We took a snorkeling trip from the hotel and had a great time! I would definitely recommend this resort.

When we viewed the pictures of the CopaMarina on their website it looked very relaxing. The pictures did not disappoint. The property is very well maintained and beautiful. My wife and I stayed at the resort for five nights and four days and enjoyed every minute of it. We did not find one cross or rude employee all of the resort staff was nice and eager to help (especially Raoul at the bar and Kris at the front desk). Raoul, my friend, always had a smile and would go out of his way to help you, also Kris at the front desk was helpful with all of our questions and offered many suggestions. Also the housekeepers did a fantastic job our room was spotless the whole stay.
This is not a resort for travelers looking for nightlife and shopping. It is isolated and very relaxing, just what we wanted.
The only negative is the isolation (as mentioned before in other reviews), it takes two hours from San Juan and at least 45 mins to get anywhere else.
To sum it up, it was worth the 2 hr drive from San Juan. The food is great and the resort is wonderful. If you want a nice resort to relax to the waves, this is the one.
