Copamarina Beach Resort in Guanica was Puerto Rico's very first all-inclusive resort. It is located on 20 acres of tropical grounds. Included in the fee is use of kayak rentals and hobie cats. Bird enthusiasts also have free access to local bird identification books. In Utuado, nestled in a tropical valley lies Casa Grande Mountain Retreat. This is a great option for visitors wanting to really get away from it all. The resort has just 20 rooms located by a yoga studio and many hiking trails.
