Tesoro Manzanillo: good resort

I consider this hotel a very good value for the $ . I like to play tennis and Mario the tennis instructor is very professional and help me with my game.no negative about this hotel except are to many stares and not ramps for physical challenge people.

Barcelo Karmina: Nice Resort

This was a beautiful resort, nice grounds, the pools were very nice and well kept. The beach isn't very big and swimming at low tide is difficult to do especially without water shoes on because of the rocks. The hotel room we had (2011) had a little bit of what looked like black mold near the A/C vent and the couches were in very rough shape. Other than that, our room was nice and a very big. It had two TV's! lol The service at the restaurants was sometimes slow but not too bad. The food was goo [... read more]d and there was always a large variety and usually someone cooking fresh food on the grill. The drinks at the bars could have been better, we found them to be way too sweet and the pop/soda was always flat when we ordered Cuba Librés. The excursion guy (Miguel) was outstanding at his job and very knowledgeable. He was always around during the day if you had any questions. Overall, this was a good resort and we would consider going back someday.

Gran Festivall: Wonderful resort

The resort met all of our expectations and more. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Nightly entertainment was excellent despite being mostly in Spanish. Not all the restaurants were always open but those that were served adequate food. The grounds were very clean and well kept. One of the best features we appreciated was the friendliness of all the staff. All except the front desk staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.

Blue Bay Club Los Angeles Locos: Our favorite all inclusive

No longer Part of blue bay franchise and has improved immensely . It is now known only as los angeles locos. has the BEST beach for swimming and children to play safely. The place is very clean and pretty. Don't expect elevators. We have been 7 x and plan to return often

Barcelo Karmina: Nice resort

Excellent rooms, food was great, service was great. Check in was terrible. Not much of a beach. The golf balls flying into the swim area from the golfers was extremely dangerous and scary. Should have been free wifi somewhere in hotel for those of us who only wanted to contact home 2-3 times per week.

Barcelo Karmina: Awesome resort!

Rooms were huge! Very clean. The beds were a little hard but actually very comfortable! Amazing amount of pools and areas. We were still finding different areas the day before we left! Food was very good with lots of variety. Would definitely come back!

Barcelo Karmina: Fabulous resort

lovely resort, great size just right. Japanese and Italian ala cartes were amazing. View from the Mexican was spectacular. Great pools or beach area. Loved taking out kayaks. Nice area to walk around and safe to walk to town out of the resort. Walmart is close by if you needed something. Great staff and amazing service!

Barcelo Karmina: nice rooms

The grounds are nice. The beach is O.K. The food was good especially the Italian restaurant which we had twice. The bars need some drink menus and coffee at the lobby bar would be nice for a afternoon spanish coffee.

Gran Festivall: Low Expectations

I went to Gran Festival with my 5-year old son, with little expectations, which were met. Although there are a lot of activities available, most are in need of repair/maintenance, however the service/staff was very good. Two points in particular were very annoying, i) our room was too close to the disco, which music was far too loud ii) although they advertise Wi-Fi, it's virtually non-existent. I'd rate the value very low since I'd paid a 4-star price for 2-3 star resort, but the price is refl [... read more]ective of the season, (Christmas Holidays).

Tesoro Manzanillo: Interesting!!

This is a truly Mexican experience. The hotel is on a a small beach front property, the water is warm BUT in some places the water is quite deep. The view is fantastic. The hotel is very clean, beautiful. Staff is very attentive, friendly.

Las Hadas by Brisas: Brilliant facility, but......

While we were impressed with the hotel, it's general upkeep and the quality and care of the landscaping and outside areas, we felt the dining staff in all the dining areas were unfocused and undertrained. It is as easy to give excellent service as it is to give poor, and at no extra cost! We were led to dirty tables, staff hovered to take our plates before we had finished and tables were inadequately laid. The staff were charming and eager to please but seemed undirected. But our real gripe was  [... read more]the abysmal quality of the food on offer at all the restaurants and speciality nights. We felt that with appropriate and participatory management from the very top this hotel could regain its standing as an impressive and exciting venue for world travellers and without this push, it will gradually drift into anonymity.

Barcelo Karmina: Amazing

Food wasn't the greatest but the pools are ok I also liked the service the people that work there are very pleasant. The room was perfect. And yes I would recommend this resort to friends.and yes I would return if the price was right.

Barcelo Karmina: Absolutely amazing resort

Beautiful setting and not a bad view anywhere. I would have rated pools excellent but beach is lacking. We enjoy walking on the beach and had to take a bus to Playa Miramar to do that. Otherwise absolutely no complaints. Staff are beyond excellent and very friendly and helpful. Food was good and selection changed every day. Rooms were kept very clean.

Barcelo Karmina: Amazing resort

It was our 7th time at this resort. The food staff and the grounds are incredible I would highly recommend this resort. The weather is always sunny and warm. The rooms are beautiful. Can't wait to go back

Barcelo Karmina: beautiful resort

The hotel is amazing ...food was great ..very clean and the service was excellent...as for the disco we would go every night and dance till it closed ...the entertenment in the evening was also very nice ...thx for the wonderful week ..looking forward to seeing this resort again.

Tesoro Manzanillo: Very pleasing Resort

Tesoro resort was a very quiet hotel at the beginning of Nov. The grounds were immaculate and the bar service was average and I only say this because they may have been understaffed at the time. I would have liked to see more variety of food but what there was was good. Lots of shops, and things to do. I would go back to this resort. Oh the beds were comfortable and the housekeeping amazing.

Tesoro Manzanillo: great family resort

My family had a great time. the food the beach was great and the people friendly.I would recommend this hotel to all the families and it will be better if you speak Spanish so this way there are not issues.

Grand Isla Navidad Resort: Peace and good food

If you are tired of noisy resorts and large crowds, you might enjoy this place. There are few activities other than yoga and golf, but the food and service are excellent, and if you have a busy life at home you can unwind here and feel pampered.

Tesoro Manzanillo: Mediocre resort

The rooms were clean. The food was okay but not much variety like seafood.Easy to catch a bus to shopping. Unfortunately we got there a day late so we were disappointed to miss a day. Our plane was delayed in Saskatoon so after getting up at 2am and travelling 1.5 hrs we were delayed then had to spend a night in a hotel in Sask.

Grand Isla Navidad Resort: Liked it so much I went back!

I booked this resort for a vacation with my family(wife and teenage daughter) in mid March of this year. My daughter had a friend who wanted to come and her family booked and came as well. We were impressed from the outset. The nicely equipped van was waiting for us at Manzanillo airport. The driver stopped at a local store to let us buy a couple of refreshments for the 25 minute drive. We arrived at the resort and checked in very quickly, our rooms were waiting for us. We had a very nice room o [... read more]verlooking the marina with two double beds. The room was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the pool area and the food immensely. The resort was not full and service was excellent. Often times it felt like we were in a private mansion with a staff of servants. We have been many places in the Caribbean and the Mexican Mayan Riviera and this place was the best. There were lots of activities including a fun little water taxi ride to Barra de Navidad which seems to be a little hippie enclave of displaced Americans and Canadians. Shopping was good at the local handicraft market and there were some good bars and restaurants for after hours fun. We chartered a local boat to take us to a beach 10 miles up the coast, on the way we saw whales, dolphins and sea turtles. The day's adventure cost about $200.00. After returning home on a Monday I was sitting in my office with my brother and business partner. The weather was terrible and since our business is construction oriented things were slow so I looked online and low and behold the same resort was on special for just over half of what I paid for my family. We booked the space and I returned to the Grand Bay the following Monday after being home only one week. The staff at the hotel were surprised to see me back but treated my brother and I very well for my second week there. We chartered a boat for a couple of hours and caught one robalo which we gave to the operator. The next day we had many compliments from the staff on the delicious meal they had courtesy of our donated fish. Needless to say I plan on returning this year to the Grand Bay. Maybe I'll try the golf package, I hear they have a great course.
