On September 19, the largest beach-cleaning effort in the history of Puerto Rico will take place under the coordination of Scuba Dogs Society -- and Copamarina Beach Resort & Spa will be participating in the clean-up on our own coast!
As we are a green resort, Copamarina gets involved throughout the year in activities that promote the greening of Puerto Rico. We take pride in our environmental activities and in our eco-conscious practices. We hope to inspire our guests and friends to do the same.
If you'd like to get involved in the clean-up, please contact Scuba Dogs Society at: 787-783-6377, or E-Mail – islalimpia@scubadogssociety.org.

We try our best to portray our resort with pictures on the
website.
Time and time again, however, our guests express to the management
that they were not anticipating such beauty. One of our guests, who
we can basically expect every August with his two daughters, recently
mailed us something he had written on the back of a Airplane catalog.
He said we could publish his poem on our blog under his pseudonym
"Edward Noel."
"I gaze in a daze upon the Caribbean sky
My feet in the foreground thank me for their rest
A horizon of the deepest blue, and a solo cloud so high
Framed by the palms that guard this treasure chest
Nylon strings sing to my ear, and the birds reply in song
Vitamin D sinks into my skin, and a breeze caresses long
For whom who shall I thank this moment?
Why have I forgotten where it is I work?
Satiation has never had such a beautiful face
Than in my present corner of the earth.
The staff are as kind as the colors are lush
With the beach I shall flirt and the ocean shall blush...
Copamarina as I remember it in these late summer months
My own private paradise and it will always be such
I leave with a smile and bid you adieu
Til the next time a year long thank you."
...edward noel
And we thank you, Edward.
Everyone who has ever stayed at Copamarina has experienced the lush tropical climate that nourishes Puerto Rico. Thriving all over the Caribbean islands are fruits glistening with morning dew. Ripe papaya, golden apple, sugar-sweet pineapple, quenching carambola (starfruit) and tangy tamarind are just a few of the local fruits you may find throughout the Puerto Rican countryside.Grown locally and cut fresh, guests can enjoy this island harvest every morning at Copamarina's "Las Palmas Cafe." From 7:00 to 11.:00 am this is just one part of our delicious breakfast spread.
Families preparing for their day in the sun can also enjoy our home-cooked array of menu items including eggs benedict, pancakes, french toast, smoked salmon, and many more traditional breakfast entrees prepared to Copamarina's gourmet standards. Very popular with many early risers is our make your own omelette station, starring all of our best ingredients. And for you big appetites, fear not! Our daily buffet is the perfect way to fuel your day.
Sleep well Copamarina guests, see you at breakfast!
