La Coralina Island House

3.5 star Beautiful property. The grounds were well maintained. Room was nice. We had some minor maintenance issues like a leaky toilet but only a minor inconvenience. Food was pretty decent we had lunch while we waited to check into our room. The beach club is about 10 minutes away was nice with pretty good food and a great beach. Cons: No beach near property really. Minor con because the beach club was really fun. The biggest problem is the fact that they nickel and dime you. An example is that the property has a driver and vehicle. We went to dinner 10 mins away and they charge you 20 dollars plus tip each way for a mile each way. That should be complimentary for guests less the tip. But ok, if you’re going to charge at least be in line with what a cab would be which is 1/2 that. And the spa….i mean this was a little eye opening. 200 for a 1/hr basic massage. That’s double what we paid in Panama City at a luxury hotel. And look, I’m a capitalist charge what you want but at least disclose the prices. No pricing on the menu and nothing stated up front for a very expensive service for what it was. It’s cheaper at the Four Seasons in most markets. Overall, place is nice. I think they need to clean some things up because we left feeling taken advantage of. But I also want to be supportive of what the area is trying to become as it has a lot of potential. We won’t stay there again but I wouldn’t deter someone from staying there.

Amazing stay! Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. We got a free upgrade. We were celebrating my daughter’s Birthday. They had a small cake and champagne for us in the room. I got the hot stone massage Oriental Medicine and it was spectacular while in a hut in the rain forest.

Beautiful property. The food and menus left a lot to be desired. It was a “western-inspired” menu. There were no local, Panamanian and/or Caribbean options. Both the beaches at the resort and their beach club (20+ minute drive) were too rough for swimming. It was not worth the money!

The property is beautiful with many amenities. The staff is both friendly and helpful.

Food was mediocre and overpriced for Panama, and given the hotel's location there is little you can do. The room, grounds and location were very nice. Problem with cleaning our room one day. They tried to rectify it but it was already late afternoon.
