We were very pleased with our accomodations. The rooms were clean and staff very considerate. The drinks were stronger than any we have ever gotten at an all inclusive and very tasty. My husband especially loved the flaming Spanish coffee we got at the evening resturants and the preparation of the coffee was an event. The beds were firm and... more

Wow! I was really impressed at what a great job the friendly staff did at this resort. Clean rooms, great service and of course the ever present George made this vacation truly memorable. My wife and I traveled with her mother and a friend. They both have limited mobility and in a resort built on a hill that could have... more

Recently returned from a Hobbit Travel (Sun Country Vacation) out of Minneapolis. Stayed at the Playa de Oro from March 10-17. I was traveling solo (without wife and daughter) and I have been to Manzanillo several times, staying at many of the resorts in town - including 3 times at the Karmina Palace. This was my first time staying at... more

By looking at the pictures before we went, our hopes were set a bit higher than what actually awaited us. Upon arrival shall I say that the resort lacks in curb appeal? It just has kids toys out front but appeared to be getting some renovation so perhaps it looks better now? I had read about the beds and that... more

We just got back from a great trip. The check in was easy, as George made everyone welcome with beer & tequila waiting for us. They assigned us our rooms and the bell boys took us along with our luggage in their trucks right to the door. It is a little confusing arriving after dark trying to find your way... more

My girlfriends and I have only been home for 10 days and are already planning our trip back to Playa de Oro Manzanillo next year for 3 weeks. We had a fantastic holiday, from the moment we checked in until we left 2 weeks later. The weather was absolutely perfect, warm sunny days and a cool breeze coming from the... more

We just came back from a weeks' stay at the Vista. It was a great palce to stay. Excellent location with one of the best beaches in the area. The service and food were great!! Shame on the people who gave the food bad reviews. We considered a 2 week stay, but my husband is a little picky with food... more

This was my first visit to Manzanillo and booked a package deal through my travel agent. We arrived at night, so it was a little hard to get an idea of where everything is. First tip, get a map of the resort at the front desk. Second, if you have a hard time walking up hill or up stairs, request... more

Although a bit apprehensive because of the hotels rating "2 1/2 star", I was assured by my travel agent that this hotel was getting good feedback from guests who had stayed there. I was definitely not disappointed! The hotel is bit older but everything was clean and well maintained. Many staff are constantly taking care of every aspect of the... more
