This property exceeded my expectations. When I checked in I felt like I had been transported to Bali which is one of my favorite vacay locations. The Ocean view room was one of the best room views I have ever had. Food at the hotel was amazing. And this property was definitely walkable. Up the street you can walk to the hotel beach club, Ohanas, and Skully. The property is so beautiful I did not want to leave. The infinity pool over looks the beautiful ocean and watch the waves crash daily while relaxing on their pool deck hammocks was top tier. The staff and all amenities were amazing. I partook in spa treatments to include relaxing in their sauna. Now this sauna is amazing as it has a window that looks out toward the forest. This place is truly magical. You are a 15/20 min ride into Bocas town, but they make transportation so accessible that this was not an issue at all. I love this resort and can’t wait to visit again.
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.
A new property with a new concept that takes relaxation to new heights and allows for Mother Nature to overwhelm a guest with its majesty. While Playa Bluff is within a mile’s walk, this Balinese/Polynesian experience is very realistic and would challenge any 5-star resort on the Hawaiian islands (minus native traditions and common luau’s rituals). La Coralina is a true island gem and a must-see for the exigent vacationer placing RELAXATION second to none. Cannot wait to be back to unburden more stress.
This location is beautiful. The staff had a sense of calm and kindness that welcomed us upon arrival and upon departure. Deep tissue massage from Kim was perfect and the morning yoga was challenging enough to make me feel like I wasn’t being lazy on vacation.
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.
This is thee sexiest, most serene and stunning hotel with amazing amenities and wonderful staff.
Angie at reception was so attentive, she checked up on us even when we were gone for the day, made great bookings and recommendations- was super pleasant and funny, Winston was kind and helpful- so we’re the other male staff Spa staff was so comforting and Nana gave the best Thai massage. Yoga was fantastic and i will absolutely be back
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.
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.
Service was excellent except at the dining room, where it was very inconsistent.. One night the service was excellent and the next it was subpar where we had to wait for over an hour to be served food. Evidently the kitchen was "full". They served requested bread after we had paid the bill....
