Karmina Palace is located in Manzanillo on what is known as the Gold Coast of Mexico. Manzanillo has a distinct bay split into two smaller bays called, Bahia de Santiago and Bahia de Manzanillo, by a jutting peninsula. The bays are lined with sandy beaches, a few resorts, restaurants and “ramadas”, the quaint beachside restaurants set in the sand serving some of the best seafood we have enjoyed in Mexico. Downtown Manzanillo is bustling with the energy of an authentic Mexican town with narrow streets and an active zocalo. There are several open air markets where local art and food can be purchased. Fans call Manzanillo the “World Capital of Sailfish” and each year tournaments draw fisherman from around the world.

Karmina Palace is Manzanillo’s All Suite-All Inclusive Resort. It is located in the sheltered cove of Bahia de Manzanillo. The Bahia de Manzanillo is a crystal clear bay with steep hillsides covered with picturesque white buildings. Karmina Palace has 324 suites. All of the suites are designed and decorated with impeccable taste and luxury with an ocean view. Each Junior Suite has marble floors, a balcony or terrace, a sofa bed, and a large tub with separate shower. Corner suites have 2 bedrooms each with their own bath and TV, a kitchen, dining room, living room with wide screen TV, as well as a balcony, some even with their own plunge pools. Our suite was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed returning to its comforts after our full days of fun in the sun.

Karmina Palace offers special packages throughout the year, ranging from romantic Valentine’s Day retreats to Fishing packages for the angler enthusiasts. They make the effort to go the extra mile and offer the unique to their guests. While we were there we enjoyed the “Soulful Sounds” of their Visiting Artists Series with nightly music jams of high quality.
