La Coralina Island House

Muy decepcionados. Estilo balinés que no pega nada en el.Caribe. Mal.iluminado, muchas escaleras altas e irregulares. De noche no ves nada y teníamos que ir con la linterna del móvil. Parece un balneario, todo es holístico, experiencias (algunas raras como la de ayawuasca???) Todo carísimo. Fuimos una noche al pueblo de Bocas y una recepcionista nos indicó que la avisáramos al volver para enviarnos un taxi, pero no respondió, llovía muchísimo, habían desfiles y tuvimos que buscar un taxi por nuestra cuenta. El dia que nos íbamos, a la misma recpcionista del NO TAXI, le consultamos si podíamos dejar la habitación a las 12.30h en vez de a las 12 ya que tengo un problema de discapacidad y no tienen ningún lugar que se pueda estar relajado y con aire acondicionado. Miró y dijo que sin problema ya que no tenían ninguna entrada. A los 15' vino diciendo que no podia ser porque había llegado una pareja a las 8h y la querían alojar cuando el chek in es a las 15h. Sólo el.personal y el servicio eran buenos profesionales y atentos pero el staff nos demostró que nada de humanidad. Al llegar, eso si, te hacen un tour no apto para todo el mundo por la cantidad de escaleras y te hacen propaganda de masajes, tratamientos mil etc todo carísimo. Hacer yoga es gratis! En fin que tienen mucho que aprender de la hospitalidad balinesa. El.hábito no hace al monje. No lo recomiendo en absoluto

Unique, South Pacific in the Atlantic, great spa. Fun point right in front.

A luxury rather remote location needs to be conducive to wanting to stay there. Firstly the driver when asked said it was a 15 minute drive from the airport. 2nd - Air Panama do not hand out even water on the hour long flight from Panama City so a refreshing water would have been a welcome detail in the van. When we booked a private boat tour & requested a cooler we were asked if we had bought one with us. Hadn’t occurred to us that we needed one! On departure we were handed a plastic bag with the requested wine & bottled water. Nobody offered / suggested that we should take pool towels for our day on the boat. Never been to a luxury, over 500 USD a night hotel before where one is asked if we would like the laundry washed separately! We were told it was 15 US a load!!! More worthy of a hostal I think!! No ironing On the 2nd night we asked for a plain grilled steak & tuna without all the sauces, purés & what have you that these 2 dishes came with. Both were presented with the unwanted items & we were told that is how the chef prepares them. Staff are indifferent & apathetic. Obviously a management problem which unfortunately negates how pretty the place is. We left the following morning with 2 remaining pre paid nights saying we were very unhappy with the service. Nobody seemed to care!

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.

Great place to relax!

Todos eran amables. El hotel ofrecia muchas opciones. La piscina estaba hermosa.

Es un paraíso, comida delis, ambiente tranquilo, un SPA que tiene de todo para relajarse en un entorno verde. Solo si tomar en cuenta que son 25 minutos aproximadamente del centro en carro. Ideal para desconectarse.

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.

transport yourself to Bali without the long haul flight and immerse yourself in a relaxing rainforest paradise. no words can describe how stunningly aesthetic the resort is. the staff was amazing from the front desk, to dining to the spa we had the pleasure of getting to know many of them during the course of our stay making it very memorable. A special Thank you Eugenia, Diana in spa Nina, Allison, Jalixa front desk, Alix , Avril in dining and executive chef Rodrigo Vasquez and ALL the spa staff . The rooms were great comfortable, the pools were relaxing but the best part was the spa, aside from sauna, cold plunge, hot tub the treatments were worth every penny by far the best massage therapists, personally I had hot stone 2x and hubby had relaxing Eugenia my TCM doc cured my pain issues in 2 treatments and I am forever greatful! The food at restaurant was executed to perfection my fav was the octopus and coconut grouper ceviche but breakfast had a great selection on the open table and menu loved the granola yogurt and panameno meal, we also dined at bar and beach bar both good as well, I would definitely return and highly recommend! Everything was A++ the only suggestion I can say is I was there in low season so resort itself is generally quiet, almost too quiet and because its focus is on wellness and disconnecting from the hustle there are no TVs on the property including the rooms so I think at least one should be placed in the main lobby by the bar, my husband and I need a reason to come back out of the room after dinner so coming to socialize in that area meet people and chat over drinks and maybe a football game would've been nice, or hire a jazz singer some kind of activity to engage us more in the down time, Transportation was easily arranged by front desk easy to get taxi into bocas town or a ride to pier to get water taxi to the white sand beaches on bocas del toro playa Estrella, red frog, zapatilla as one across resort isn't really swimmable lots of coral, surfing but overall wonderful stay!
