We stayed at La Coralina in March, and despite the intense rain, had an absolutely magical stay. The property is gorgeous -- lush gardens, a hilltop villa, plenty of outdoor seating with views (in lots of private little area... hammocks, lounge chairs, etc.), very tasty food, and a wonderful, laid-back vibe. The staff are really lovely -- very friendly and... More

We had a fantastic time at la coralina. The rooms were great, the setting is beautiful.... remote enough that there was peace and quiet but a short enough cab ride into the town so that you could go in whenever you wanted. A short walk north was playa bluff which was our favorite beach (basically empty, maybe 10 people on... More

We arrived in Bocas not sure where we were going to stay and saw a flyer advertising the hotel and free shuttle from town. We were just looking for someplace quiet for our three day border run. I have been coming to bocas for years and years and always feel like it should be more "something special" than it is..... More

Our first impression of La Coralina was that it was more remote than we had anticipated. It was around the back of the island on a dirt track. That wasn't so much the issue but the fact that the beach in front wasn't really suitable for sunbathing or swimming was a problem as we had to walk an hour in... More

Just spent an amazing 4 nights at La Coralina. Not only is the hotel location absolutely beautiful, but all of the staff (Stacey, Byron, Nadi, and everyone at the restaurant/bar) truly make the experience wonderful with their friendliness and helpfulness. Our first night we stayed in the Bamboo suite which I would recommend if you can swing it - particularly... More

Myself and 2 friends had a fabulous time at Bocas and were so happy with our choice of hotel. I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. Stacey, Nadi and the rest of the staff are helpful, attentive and friendly- they will organize whatever your hearts content- beach hopping, surfing, dolphin viewing, snorkeling, restaurant reservations. We didn't use that... More

We spent an amazing couple of days at Stacey's place! The atmosphere, the views, the service, the suite and the food all came together to make our holiday one to remember. Stacey and her staff ensured that we were well cared for with very clean facilities, activity suggestions, lots of places to relax and the food.... overall amazing! More

Stacey came to our rescue after we left our first hotel and helped us find accommodations right down the street. We had breakfast here that day and were glad we had booked our last two nites of our trip here. Luckily as for most hotels, breakfast was included. Our room was not fancy and didn't have a view but who... More

Fantastic Place- stay here Stacy and her staff are unparalleled when it comes to service, quality and effort. The food was way above what you might think, with only the best ingredients and great presentation. The rooms were comfortable and clean- very relaxing. The views from all the common areas are exemplary and there are great beaches either way you... More
