ホテル コラリナ アイランド(Hotel Coralina Island)

What a gem! A quick boat ride from Cartagena around 8:30am, set up with hotel before your arrival at least two days. For our Bay Side stay, upon arrival a welcome drink is presented and a whole explanation of the resort is provided by the owner Pierre who is very pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. Rooms become available around 2/3pm, in the meanwhile you can swim and relax, have drinks in the bar and order lunch. They provide you with your own lounging dock spot that is yours for the duration of your stay. Servers come and find you to take your food orders and ask what time you want to eat. Meet at the time you provided at the dining tables in the sand along the water. There are plenty of activities you can book. We enjoyed the snorkeling tour which includes a stop at a sunken plane crash. The other tour we went on was the bioluminescence night tour. The room was well air conditioned and a comfortable bed. The small cabins are rustic but still very comfortable. It is a spectacular authentic island spirit retreat, close to nature in total paradise. It is a perfect stay for couples who desire a clam, peaceful setting of serenity. The wildlife we saw included geckos, iguanas, numerous birds, and the island is also home to 3 friendly dogs that roam around. The service was truly phenomenal and we highly recommend it. Hugo, Juan Jose, Evelyn are exceptional staff members whose names we remember. DO NOT MISS THIS STAY!!!

This was a beautiful property with amazing friendly staff. They accept credit cards, which would've been good to know ahead of time. For people with dietary restrictions, the menu is limited, but what we did eat was really good!

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.
