Day Passes in Manzanillo - Jan 2017

We'll be in Manzanillo in January. We've never been to Manzanillo and was wondering about day passes at hotels. Most information on here is several years old and a lot can change in that time. We're currently looking at Karmina, Las Hadas and Tesoro. I wouldn't mind just going to a beach but the rest of the family wants a beach and pool. Thanks!

Call or email the hotels

We did a ships Beach Resort tour last year in Manzanillo and ended up at Las Hadas. For our trip this year, I wanted to just catch a taxi and get there on our own so have spent weeks trying to find a contact person for info. I finally was successful and the following is what I received:

Dear Mrs. Jackson:

I´m sending you an attached file with all the information about what

includes our Day Pass and the price of it. You don´t need to schedule

your Day Pass, in the moment you want it, you can come to our Lobby

and request it.

We appreciate your preference and hope to enjoy your visit soon.

Regards.

It's a little bit more than Las Hadas and you save a little money if you pay in Pesos vs USD. In her last sentence, I'm not sure if she meant they are "now" selling or "not" selling day passes. But I did give her the date we'll be there and it's on 1/4/17. I'll need to confirm with her about this.

My next question is, what resort is nicer? I know Las Hadas is older but that doesn't mean the Karmina is better. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

I got another email from the Karmina and they confirmed they are NOT selling day passes between December 17, 2016 through January 5, 2017.

I'm going to email Las Hadas and see if they have the same blackout during the same time period.
