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"
