From the moment we first arrived at Barceló Karmina we were greeted with beautiful views. Check in was smooth and easy, with a complementary drink while you wait. Our suite had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Each room in the suite was spacious with stunning bathrooms. The beach and pools were refreshing and relaxing. Plenty of activities to keep you busy and 3 meals a day at the buffet.

Excellent MJ' show with Andrea. Awesome. Michael Jackson. She is greatful and wonderfule. The show is really incredible

I’ve scavenged, researched and watched hundreds of videos months before going for my husbands bday. We went as a family of 3 and 2 friends. If you are looking for brand new, latest and greatest, this resort is not for you. Have to be mindful that this is provincial Mexico and expect to see things differently from wherever country we come from. On that note, Barcelo Karmina provided way more than what I was expecting! Yes the beach is small but it keeps the waves out and water is clear enough to snorkel in. Saw different types of fish down there, very exciting! Tip, wear water shoes, the sand is not pure and is a little rocky but this little cove is exactly what we were looking for. On slow days, usually mid weeks, there is only one specialty restaurant open. We tried all 3 and the best one is the Mexican restaurant cause of the flavor then the Japanese because of all the fresh seafood. Italian was just ok in our book. The waiters in all 3 restaurants worked their butts off and you can tell. We loved the buffet. It does rotate and there are some dishes that were the same but who doesn't want chilaquiles everyday for breakfast?! There were tons of options for the baby aswell, and the staff was great offering us drinks and remembering our faces! We saw some night shows and all were entertaining. You can tell the performers all work hard and give their all. The cheese fries and ice cream at the shack is the perfect mid day snack along with a margarita, again, service A+++ Lets talk about our room. Just wow! The view, the fresh air, the privacy, this is where your money goes! Even the non premium rooms had great views just outside their door! The premium lounge is small but its great to hang out in after walking around in the sun, getting a little or a lot buzzed before meals and just relaxing in the AC. We didn’t use the pools but a lot of people were having a blast at each and every direction. Overall we had such a great experience, would definitely recommend! Here’s a few tips. **tips*** - get your own private transfer to and from the airport ( I recommend Tours De Manzanillo) such great folks to deal with! - there is an atm right under the stairs of main lobby if you need to get money. Front desk will exchange 500 mxn a day for smaller bills. -Scan your wrist band! All the information you need from activity times, room service menu and in betweens are in there. - get premium, specially if you are looking for the nicer top floor rooms and those premium drinks. - return your towel cards! This will help you at check out. I think they charge if you don’t - room service is included in premium (except for alcohol) - don’t be afraid to test your spanish skills! The staff are very much appreciative that you are trying even just small words. Even if you don’t, there are a good amount that are very fluent in english. - tip! Smile, relax, you are going on a holiday.
