La Coralina Island House

La Coralina Island House

10/10 Excellent
"an exceptional wellness hotel, small in size and giant in exceptional and Service and Luxury and the things you can’t buy like peace and quiet and freedom from screeching, ill-mannered young children. It was an added bonus to find out the hotel was child-free. We have stayed at some amazing luxury properties, but the bug bear is always the screaming children and I’m talking, screaming and howlering and racing around and hogging all the attention and the parents do nothing but look at their phones. The amazing wellness spa is incredible the treatments world class, the setting phenomenal. You’ll see this from the photos anyway but what makes this place truly special is the absolute passion and purpose behind its creation and the way that you are treated throughout your stay. The food at the restaurant is incredible and the complementary breakfast exceptional the only negative that I would say is that it like most of panama The resort doesn’t seem to have a care about no smoking and no vaping and that was unpleasant people smoking around you including they let people come for day passes so all sorts of nomadic people can come and use the pool smoke away and create content with their selfie sticks. I thought that the smoking was really unpleasant and quite surprising for a wellness property, but I understand not everyone will agree. I also love that there were no televisions in the rooms and the music was really Chillaxx and very pleasant to listen to not intrusive, I"

Go to Chikita Beach and on the opposite side of the road there is a little path (paved) that goes to the hotel (half-minute walk). You can't see it from the road but it's there. Quite nice."

Punta Caracol Acqua Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Nuestra experiencia en Punta Caracol fue muy bonita. Es un lugar encantador, rodeado de naturaleza, con una ubicación privilegiada y paisajes espectaculares. Nos encantó especialmente poder hacer snorkeling y disfrutar del mar. Es un lugar maravilloso para visitar en familia, ya que los niños disfrutan muchísimo de esta experiencia. Además, su ubicación es estratégica para conocer otros lugares de Bocas del Toro. Como aspectos por mejorar, consideramos importante mencionar que las habitaciones no cuentan con refrigerador y que, para conservar algunos alimentos o cargar los teléfonos, es necesario acudir al restaurante, lo cual resulta un poco incómodo. También notamos que algunas instalaciones muestran señales de deterioro y necesitan mantenimiento para conservar la belleza del lugar. A pesar de estos detalles, nos llevamos una experiencia muy bonita en familia. Es un destino con muchísimo encanto y potencial. Con algunas mejoras en sus instalaciones y comodidades, la experiencia sería aún más especial. ¡Sin duda, un lugar que disfrutamos mucho y que recordaremos con cariño!"
