Hotel Coralina Island

We stayed one night at Coralina Island. Not only was it beautiful, but the staff is very helpful and so sweet! It’s a small property so everything is very personalized. Your chairs are reserved for you each morning so no rush to get the best spot, lunch and dinner orders are taken in advance so there isn’t too much waiting, and the staff is super accommodating! Can’t wait to go back.

A fabulous hidden gem in the Rosario Islands. We can’t wait to go back! Everything about it was magical.

This hotel is wonderful, the staff is very friendly and nice, always checking on you and your needs. The food is great and they’re always on time with your order. My room was perfect! Confortable, clean and right on front of the ocean with a perfect view to watch the sunset. I had a fantastic stay!! Thank you Erika and Manuel :)

Couldn’t have more good things to say about this hotel and our experience. Unbelievably beautiful location with warm and helpful staff.

Loved our stay at Coralina from start to finish. Very clear communication from the beginning about transport to the island, and the process of taking the boat to the island and checking-in was seamless. The rooms were spotless, and very generously sized. The fans and AC kept the rooms at a comfortable level, but were also quiet enough to not affect our sleep. There seemed to be twice as many staff as guests, so whenever we needed anything, staff went out of their way to look after us. Particularly Erika, who was incredible. At the end of our stay when we were dropped off in Cartagena (and after Erika had finished work) she saw us struggling with taxis and spent an extra 10 minutes ensuring that we found a driver who wasn't going to overcharge us. The food and drink at the hotel was the same price as restaurants in the Old City in Cartagena, which is very reasonable considering the extra work involved in keeping a stock of fresh food on the island. There was also no charge for drinking water, which is unusual for Cartagena. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer - 3 days were good but we could have spent a week or more here. Highly recommended.

From the moment I stepped onto the island, Coralina Hotel transported me into a world of tranquility. The azure waters surrounding this haven coupled with the lush greenery create a serene ambience that instantly melts away stress. The staff's warmth and attentiveness added an extra layer of charm to the experience especially Erika. Her dedication to ensuring every guest feels valued is truly commendable. She went above and beyond to accommodate requests and offer guidance, making my stay seamless and delightful.

This is one of nicest properties I’ve ever stayed in. It’s amazing with some of the best views of the carribean. The staff are top notch too. I would book this again without any hesitation. Electricity and transpiration can be a bit of a problem on the island and I would advise travelers to read that information carefully.

Lovely, tranquil property. Would like more dining options

Transportation: transportation there went very smoothly, but the boat ride back was very intense and a little scary- not sure it’s often like this, maybe it just happened to be a rough day at sea Food: it is an island, so getting fresh supplies is tough and it shows with the way most vegetables seemed previously frozen then boiled to a mush, and most sauces in dishes tasted from a can. Overcooking seafood was also an issue. They have a large menu and I believe their food would likely be a lot better and fresher if they made the menu smaller and focused on dishes they can do well with fresh ingredients. Wine selection is terrible (mostly frontera brand which goes in the US for $6 a bottle, offered for 4x this cost on the island). Cocktails were well made, though! Staff: staff was very friendly. you will have to wait a long time for a drink/request, though. Don’t expect anyone to come around and ask if you need anything either. Also, our dirty towels were taken away with room cleaning one day and not replaced, when we asked for towels we were told they had none for us so we had none after our shower to dry off. Overall the island is beautiful & relaxing. We loved the free snorkels & kayaks provided. Truly a great place to unwind. This place has so much potential to reach the next level if a little more attention to details, food, & clients were given.
