Karmina Palace reels in great air service to Manzanillo

MANZANILLO, Mexico (Oct. 15, 2005) – As angler enthusiasts gear up for Manzanillo’s prime sport fishing season and November’s annual international fishing tournament, Karmina Palace along Mexico's Pacific Coast has the ideal fishing packages to get guests hooked.

The 52nd Annual International Fishing Tournament (Nov. 3-5, 2005) marks the start of massive tuna runs as well as the season for marlin, red snapper and record-size sailfish that have earned Manzanillo the reputation as the “sailfish capital of the world”. Surrounded by a volcano-rich landscape that extends into the ocean with several underwater canyons, a continental shelf drops off into a deep blue abyss right outside of Manzanillo Bay, meaning big game fish are always lurking in the warm Pacific Coast waters. Fishing boats often reel in fine specimens within minutes of leaving the marina!

Kármina Palace’s 4th night free promotion, which lasts until Dec. 22, 2005 and is subject to availability, is the ideal way for fishing enthusiasts, families, couples and kids to stay in comfort while playing hard in the tournament. Pay for three nights and get the fourth free! Book directly through the hotel, online or with a travel agent.

DIRECT AIR SERVICE MAKES MANZANILLO EASIER TO ACCESS
Starting Oct. 31, 2005 Alaska Airlines resumes non-stop flights to Manzanillo, Mexico from Los Angeles (with connections from other cities) five times a week. The 2.5 hour long direct flights continue for the duration of the winter until April 30, 2006, making it easier than ever to access the tropical paradise of Manzanillo from West Coast destinations.

During the first week in November, families can take advantage of a destination-wide “kids fly free” promotion with the airline. Until Nov. 5, 2005 children under the age of 11 years old fly free with their parents. Combined with Karmina’s great value where two children under eight years eat, stay and play free when sharing a suite with their parents, it’s a perfect excuse for a pre-winter getaway vacation to Mexico.

All-suite, all-inclusive Karmina Palace breaks the mould for family, couple, romance and weddings with enormous suites measuring 880 square feet and larger, nightly family entertainment, exciting dining choices (including 24 hour room service!) in three onsite restaurants and five bar concepts for no extra cost.

Karmina Palace also offers non-stop charter flights during the winter from Minneapolis with Northwest Airlines and Hobbit Travel, and from several Canadian cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Saskatchewan) aboard WestJet through Transat Holidays. America West Airlines flies from Phoenix from Dec. 17, 2005, and Continental Airlines offers non-stop flights several times a week from its Houston hub.
