Barceló Karmina Palace

Frommer's 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 values. It's the best choice for families visiting Manzanillo. The buildings resemble Maya pyramids, and even though the architecture at first might seem a little overdone, somehow it works. Rooms are all very 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 have terraces or balconies with views of the ocean, overlooking the tropical gardens and swimming pools. Master suites have spacious sun terraces with private splash pools, plus a full wet bar, full 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 offers a host of activities -- all included in the price. The gym and European-style spa are exceptionally well equipped.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; snack bar; 5 bars; 8 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; room service; currency exchange; safe
