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!

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.

The property itself is beautiful - quiet, peaceful, and perfect if you’re looking to relax and disconnect a bit. The room was in great shape and very comfortable. There's no direct beach access from the hotel, but right out front you'll find a surf spot. Even if you don't surf, watching the surfers battle the waves is oddly entertaining and a great way to spend time doing nothing (in the best way). The hotel offers a shuttle to a lovely sandy beach, which is a nice touch. Just a heads-up: the waves can be pretty intense, so swimming is mostly for the brave, the confident, or the slightly reckless. Last but definitely not least - the staff. Seriously amazing. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind.

Honestly I can’t say enough great things about this property. We LOVED it - truly. Staff was great, food was excellent and the spa was awesome. We were trying to decide between here and Red Frog - SO glad we picked La Coralina. A truly exceptional experience.

We'll be back, but...

While there is no beach on site, we had plenty to do. We truly enjoyed nature and the magical jungle within the hotel. This was our second visit and definitely coming back. The restaurant, is the only downer, very expensive, very limited choices and they bring you all the food at the same time, though we explained that we want this first that that later, the excuse was, kitchen prepares it this way and we have to bring it .... Now the SPA personnel are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating they go out of their way to accommodate your needs.

Terrible road to get to the resort. Be prepared - the road urgently needs to be paved. Resort is beautiful and restaurant was pretty good. Had to send one order back due to fish being old/fishy tasting. Really irritated to have music played at the pool. Trying to relax and enjoy the sound of the ocean and instead there was constant bass/dance music being played. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful, where possible.
