Copamarina offers 106 spacious tropical guest rooms and suites. So, you'll never have to worry about being lost in the crowd. And, Copamarina has a secret. Beginning less than a mile from the resort's shores is one of the world's most outstanding dive sites. The area is largely unexplored, and every dive has the potential to be a unique underwater adventure. The resort's dive program - Dive Copamarina - caters to divers of all levels from snorkelers to certified dive professionals. If you wish, you can even earn your PADI dive certification during your vacation.

Back on land, Copamarina offers a full array of activities. From tennis to swimming, to volley ball, bike rentals to hiking and bird watching. Natural attractions and historical towns such as La Parguera (home of the Bioluminescent Bay) and Ponce are within easy reach.

If you're looking for a secluded Caribbean hideaway without having to forego all of the comforts of the modern world, look no further than the Copamarina Beach Resort.

All 106 guest rooms, suites, and Villas have spacious balconies or patios affording spectacular views of the lush gardens and the blue waters of the Caribbean.

Rooms are all decorated in a charming Mediterranean style and have air conditioning, color cable TV, mini-refrigerator, in room safes, ample closet space, hair dryers and coffee makers.

The grounds of Copamarina are immaculately manicured. Lush and green, the central lawn between the guest rooms and the sea is sprinkled with Caribbean flowers of all colors. Lazy, winding paths lead from building to building, down to the pool, cafe and the beach.

Brand new, The Villas at Copamarina Beach Resort, offer 2,600 square feet of living space overlooking the blue waters of the Caribbean. Each villa features a 12-foot wide, wrap-around veranda with superlative views of ocean, beach, pool, and tropical gardens. The verandas feature a hammock, card table for four and chaise lounges.

The villas include fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room. Kitchens have dishwashers, stove, pots & pans, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Complete entertainment center with TV, VCR, CD player, and AM/FM radio.

Three bedrooms offer sleeping accommodations for up to six people. The master bedroom has a king bed and a bath area with separate glass shower and tub. One guestroom offers two twin beds and the other a queen bed.

One of Copamarina's greatest treasures is its cuisine. Open daily for dinner, the main dining room features gourmet dining, with Caribbean recipes prepared by our executive chef in an elegant sea view setting with a menu that combines classic elegance with a penchant for Puerto Rican cuisine. Traditional entrees such as Asopao de Langosta, Whole Fried Snapper with Mojo, tostones and a variety of conch specialties are among the choice for any evening's dinner, but unexpected delights, such as nightly chef's specials also enhance the menu. The only constant - truly fine food. We also offer a fine selection of wines and champagnes.

The al fresco "Las Palmas Café" is open daily from 7 am to 6 pm for breakfast and lunch and is the perfect spot for sunset cocktails.

The Main Restaurant, open from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m., offers Puerto Rican Nouvelle Cuisine prepared by award winning chefs and a complete wine list. There is nightly entertainment.

One mile off-shore, the continental shelf drops off, creating a spectacular and dramatic marine Wall 22-miles long, the Caribbean's newest world-class dive destination. This spectacular dive Wall has a series of slopes and sheer drop-offs that start at 30 feet to 120 feet before disappearing into a 2,000-foot drop, well beyond diver depths.

Minutes from the beach by boat, The Aquarium offers shallow dives of 50 feet or less and features three distinct ecosystems. A sandy bottom is home to eels, hermit crabs and anemones. Second, a large head system (one head is estimated to be over 1,000 years old) is home to a variety of small fish, anemones, worms, clams, and other marine life. The third system is a coral system comprised of species of soft and hard coral, as well as sponges.

Located just 40 minutes from dockside, The Trench is a series of spur and grove formations that go as deep as 110 feet.

The Pozas, a popular dive site for student training and night dives, is an island reef in a sandy area with a depth of 40 to 55 feet. Formed from a limestone base, this site features rock formations covered in red encrusting sponges and gardens of Gorgonians, Sea Fans, and Barrel Sponges. The white sand base and volcanic lava provide the background for protruding ledges up to 15 feet high.
