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

We travelled there for New Year's, with our family of 14 from Vancouver, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. The resort was great!. We upgraded to ocean view and I really enjoyed that after we spent the day lounging around the pool, got cleaned up and just sat with a cocktail admiring the view and waiting for dinner. The 3 al-a-carte restaurants... More

Just returned from another wonderful trip to Karmina. This was our second time here, and I can't say enough good things about this resort. I will start by saying that this was our 20th trip to an all inclusive in Mexico in the last 6 years. We have stayed at anywhere from a 3 star to a 5 star resort... More

Just returned from Barcelo Karmina Palace and enjoyed the trip very much. Will try to make this a brief review as everyone has their own opinion on things and you need to try it out to see if it is what you want in a vacation. The hotel is spread out nicely in 3 wings of 7 floors. Rooms are... More

Travelled with a group of 66 (from Ontario and Alberta) for my son's wedding and just returned on the 23rd. Had an absolutely wonderful time. The resort is nicely laid out, rooms were spacious and very clean (huge bathroom), plenty of dining options (wasn't hard to find something you like - fresh egg making station at breakfast and fresh pasta...

Vacationed in Dec. 2011. Beautiful, picture perfect setting, small beach, but was not important as we knew about it. We did not pay much attention to food (breakfast was nice, lunch and dinner a disaster) at the start as we were smitten with its beauty. As we stayed and tried buffet and a la cart, everything was prepared hours in... More

This was my second time back in 3 years. Let me start with the negative and that's the very small beach. It's no more than 80 yards in length and is strewn with rocks in much of it. There is a beach either side of the property and you need to ask the security guard to open the gate to... More

We have just returned from a two week vacation at the Karmina Palace and it didn't disappoint. Our flight times through Transat were the only major issue. I was concerned a room wouldn't be ready for us because we arrived at the hotel around 9:00am but check-in was fast and our room was ready so we were able to change... More
