Very difficult to get around because of the only unpaved road. The resort was fine. If you go there, plan on staying 3-4 days because it’s very hard to get to due to the only bumpy road.

I can’t say enough positive things about this property. I will start by saying this is the most beautiful hotel ever. Of course it is visually appealing, but the staff is who make this hotel successful. From the moment I arrived to the second I left I was treated with nothing but kindness. The girls that work the breakfast, the manager at the front, and the bar staff were nothing short of amazing. The food and drinks were suburb. I stayed for my birthday, my friend with the help of the staff planned a 5 corse dinner menu for me. Every single person said happy birthday. The spa and their staff were amazing. I got the Thai massage and the facility and treatment rooms were beautiful. I could literally go on and on. If you are debating on booking this property do yourself a favor and don’t.

La Coralina is a beautiful hotel if you want to be far from everything and relax in the middle of the jungle. If you are experienced you can also surf in the area. There is no beach nearby, you have to get a taxi to go any beach and the closest one is 15/20 minutes by car. The road to get there is in really bad conditions so it’s not a good location if you want to come and go to the town, which is 25 minutes by car. The amenities are beautiful, they offer yoga classes and meditations and the food in both restaurants is delicious. I was obsessed with the decoration of the dishes and the attention from the servers. I think they have a lot of potential and it’s sad that they don’t pay too much attention to the details, when we got to our room there was no water to drink or soap in the bathroom and the shower was broken so we had to ask for them to move us to a different room in the middle of our stay. If you stay at the hotel and you want to go Playa Estrella I highly recommend going to bocas town and taking a boat from there instead of going by car. It’s more expensive and it takes longer. They don’t explain this at the reception of the hotel, which would be nice for them to do! They don’t offer any free transportation to Bocas town or to the beach and I think it would be nice for them to offer this considering their location. The breakfast is great and I really liked all the activities. We also had a therapy massage with an ocean view and I highly recommend it.

Amazing experience, with the perfect mix...
The experience since the arrival was spectacular. The location, the service, the food experience. We are a family of 4, 3 surfers and 1 non-surfer, and all of us had a great time. The spa was a great experience as well for us 4. There are several options for day-trips that can be arranged at the front desk.

Lovely hotel. The area around the spa is beautiful, I went there to meditate in the morning. The sauna does reach a very good temperature (which is rarely the case in Panamanian hotels). Their dining menu has Asian influences, we loved the pork belly and the duck. We also loved the sandwich we had for lunch. We also appreciated how they organized a last-minute tour for us. There are some beautiful beaches on the other side of the island. The only thing we found inadequate was the lack of "do not disturb" signs for the room. We were told it was a deliberate choice from the management, a choice we can't understand. That said, we will be coming back! We loved our stay here.

This is a luxury option that makes you feel in Bali but in Bocas del Toro. The town offers a relaxed and chill surf town vibe with nights of partying and Bocas culture and La Coralina offers the luxury of a 5 star hotel just 10 minutes away from the town. You have Paunch beach right across from the hotel so you can just grab your board and go surfing, then come back to the infinity pool or grab lunch at the beach club. The food is superb and well catered. They are still finishing minor details so they increase the menu but overall I was very satisfied with the quality and presentation. The staff was excellent! The owner walks around to greet you and make sure all is good...I mean, I will come back for sure, no doubt about it. Thank you Coralina :)

Si buscas mar para bañarte, este no es el lugar.
El hotel es muy lindo, súper bien decorado, limpio, todo perfecto. Lo único que me parece súper importante notar es que la playa es solo para mirar porque el mar es muy movido, el ingreso complicado. Básicamente es para surfers. El pueblo no ofrece mucho y queda lejos del hotel. Los servicios en general son bastante básicos.
