Barceló Karmina Palace Review

The quality of rooms and services at this all-inclusive resort makes the newest of Manzanillo's hotels one of the area's best. The buildings resemble Mayan pyramids, and guest rooms are all large suites, with rich wood accents, comfortable recessed seating areas with pull-out couches, and two 27-inch TVs in each room. The extra-large bathrooms have marble floors, twin black marble sinks, separate tubs, and glassed-in showers. Most rooms offer terraces or balconies with views of the ocean, overlooking the tropical gardens and swimming pools. Master suites feature spacious sun terraces with private splash pools, plus a full wet bar, refrigerator, and a large living room area with 42-inch TV. Two full-size bedrooms close off from the living/dining area. The kids club provides a host of activities -- all included in the price. The gym and European-style spa are excellent.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; snack bar; 5 bars; 6 connected swimming pools; tennis courts; health club w/treadmills and Cybex equipment; full spa facilities; men's and women's sauna and steam rooms; sailboards; beach volleyball; kids' activity program; concierge; car rental; salon; 24-hour room service; laundry service; currency exchange

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
