From the 949

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.

Thank you, andio2of5, for the Las Hadas information. I contacted the Barcelo Karmina and they emailed me this information:

Thank You for your email, The cost of the Day Pass are:

From: 9 am to 5 pm $ 850.00 MXN ($54.00 USD)

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!

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!
