La Coralina Bocas del Toro“Excellent Hotel, Great Food, Perfect Location”

My wife, three kids (13, 9, and 7), and I stayed at La Coralina and were completely amazed by everything. The location is absolutely stunning. La Coralina is located outside of the hustle and bustle of Bocas Town on the Caribbean side of Isla Colon. The water was crystal clear and best of all there was not a bunch of drunken tourist stumbling about.

The hotel itself is beautiful and decorated in a way that not only helped us to relax, but made us feel at home. The owner/operator Stacy was fantastic. She had great suggestions for things to do. She knows the island and the locals and is a great resource for people who do not know what is available in Bocas. She is also the cook and the food was excellent I have not had food that good at some very nice restaurants (and the cost was very reasonable).

La Coralina Bocas del ToroStacy suggested a boat driver that could give us a tour of the area, which we took her up on. The driver, who moved with his family from Belgium, catered to our wishes to see the flora and fauna of the area. We had dolphins swimming under our boat, saw thousands of poison dart frogs, sloths, and other interesting animals, snorkeled with an enormous eagle ray, and all that for much cheaper than all the hustlers in Bocas Town will charge you.

Our kids had a great time staying at La Coralina. My 13 year old son (almost 14) told me it was the best time he had in his life and said he felt like he had just lived a life that he has only seen in commercials. Stacy helped them to feel comfortable there. She has plenty of board games, books, and a pool table IF!!! you find yourself with a need for something to do besides enjoying some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world.

If you are looking for a place to relax and feel like family in a beautiful natural setting this is the place. Not only will we return, but we have told all of our friends and family that this is the place to stay.

“The best place in Bocas del Toro!!!”

have been on many great trips in my life, but Hotel La Coralina in Bocas del Toro…..TOPS all of them. It sits up on the mountain side and you have breathtaking views of the carribean. Stacey, the host, is the best host you could ever ask for. The food, the accomodations, the staff, all were so friendly and nice. They even have horses you can take for a ride on the beach!!! Bikes for rent too. The rooms, including the bathrooms were amazing. This place is a gem that you must discover for yourself. You will not be dissappointed.
