Karisma Hotels & Resorts Unveils New "Connoisseur Collection"

The Karisma Villas, including Villa Esmeralda, is part of the new Connoisseur Collection.

Karisma Hotels & Resorts has introduced its new "Connoisseur Collection by Karisma," which presents clients with customizable vacations at Karisma’s exclusive accommodations.  

And Travel Agent has the scoop.

“Karisma has always been committed to setting a new standard, redefining and elevating what luxury represents at all-inclusive properties,” said Armando Chomat, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Karisma Hotels & Resorts, in a written statement. “The debut of the Connoisseur Collection by Karisma takes our cutting-edge philosophy even further and will impress even the most discerning traveler."

Service begins prior to arrival and continues throughout guests’ stays. Before checking in, Connoisseur Collection guests are provided a dedicated phone line that provides them access to a concierge who can assist with in-room liquor curation, mini-bar preferences, spa treatments, excursions, priority restaurant reservations, and more in preparation for their vacations. Upon arrival, butlers will unpack (and then repack upon departure) for Connoisseur Collection guests, who will also enjoy private in-room spa treatments, personally monogramed robes, guaranteed connecting suites, and a 15 percent discount on all spa services, special events, and premium wine lists. 

Guests also have access to exclusive privileges as a part of the Connoisseur Concierge program. Connoisseur Concierges can meet certain requests such as night dives from a private boat, hot air balloon excursions or rounds of golf at the destination’s best courses. All experiences are tailored exclusively for each guest.

Only the company's most luxurious accommodations are certified as a part of the Connoisseur Collection at Karisma’s adults-only and family-friendly properties: The Karisma Villas, El Dorado Spa & Resorts, Hidden Beach Resort, Azul Hotels, Generations Resorts and the recently debuted Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana.

The Karisma Villas are three beachfront villas – two, six-bedroom villas and one, five-bedroom villa, each located in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. The Karisma Villas – Villa Esmeralda, Villa Carola and Villa Maroma – are each more than 10,000 square feet and can accommodate a variety of group sizes, from 10 adults in the Villa Maroma to 12 adults and eight children in the Villa Carola. Karisma Villas afford guests premier experiences, including a private chef and private Majordomo in addition to individual luxuries such as a private Vassa spa and steam room at Villa Esmeralda.

The Connoisseur Collection also has premier two- and three-bedroom suites, presidential offerings, overwater bungalows and a themed luxury villa modeled after the undersea home of SpongeBob SquarePants, among other luxe options.
