The room was unreal. Pools, grounds, lobby - what more could you want. Coffee in lobby early a.m. was great. Buffet, Mexican, Italian and Japanese, hello can you say variety. If you like long walks on flat beach this isn't the place but the rest was stellar. Golf, fish, kayak or do nothing it's a graet place. I talk to... More

We have been to many different Mexico Resorts but the Barcelo Karmina Palace was by far the best resort we stayed at for both the rooms, service and food. The grounds are very well kept and the pools are always maintained. The nice part is that there are many pools so if you are looking for a quiet spot you... More

The resort, itself, was beautiful, the staff very efficient and hospitable. The best A La Carte, by far, was the Japanese and Gerardo our Waiter was professional, kind and the best compared to all the other Restaurants. We found the service lacking at the Mexican Restaurant, and please do not order the Crepes with Lobster, as there is NO LOBSTER,... More

we stayed at this resort during Xmas 2011. We initially were sent to a room that clearly had some water/ mold issues.... we tried to get reassigned and I had to become aggressive to get moved to another room overnight and then switched again the second day. once we settled ( with the assistance of our transat rep) we found...

This was our first time to Mexico and I can honestly say we have no complaints. The hotel check-in process was very quick. The staff had everything ready to go and our very large group was checked in in not time at all. Some of our rooms were not ready yet but we also had arrived earlier than expected so... More

A group of 12 of us visited Karmina Dec 21 - 28. My wife and I had loved our trip several years prior, and were happy to return to what has become our favorite resort. Transat's flights out of western Canada are at poor times having you arrive and depart with little to no sleep. However, the resort is worth... More

We were staying at a private house while in Manzanillo but wanted to check out all of the resorts while there. Barcello was my favorite. We did the day pass until 5:00 pm - and got there around 9:30 to make sure we could get four chairs together. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. The pool is huge with lots of... More

Hotel itself was beautiful along with the pool area. If you like swimming in the ocean then do not book here, man made beach with loads of rocks and reefs which makes it impossible to swim. Food and service at the buffet was alright but definitely not great, the service and food at the a la cartes were great though.... More

Spent a week at this resort and LOVE IT. The hotel, the people, the service and the food and drink - Excellent. In fact too good because we both gained weight. We have travelled to many places in Mexico (PV, Mazatlan, Huatulco, Cancun, Maya Riveria) and in Cuba, Hawaii, Dominican Republic and found this resort to be A++. We chose... More
