Incredible location, staff were the best we've ever experienced at any resort. Always helpful, kind, and service was top notch. The resort was gorgeous and the restaurants amazing. Yes, there is a buy in program, but if you aren't interested, they are not pushy. You can have full ownership of a gorgeous condo, at a high price for those interested in a wonderful gated community lifestyle in PV. We are going back for sure!

This is truly a Five Star Hotel Resort. We really enjoyed our stay and will be going back for sure. We booked all inclusive and I'm glad we did. Food quality was second to none. Multiple restaurants to choose from. (Book as soon as you arrive for days you are staying since they book fast). Excellent service, supper clean, great restaurants, relaxing, multiple infinity pools, free rides un and down to many locations in the resort. We loved Garza Blanca resort and highly recommend it.

Everything was amazing. The food: we ate at all 3 of the restaurants on the property as well as Hiroshi. The spa was great. We participated in the Hydro therapy followed by a 50 minute massage. 2 employees that stood out were Ronnie by the poolside. He was very friendly, helpful and checked in with me daily. I enjoyed practicing my spanish with him. We had drinks at the Hotel Mousai and was served by Victor. Victor was extremely friendly as well and was able to answer many of our questions about Garza Blanca and the surrounding area. We all plan on returning. Gracias

Food was incredible! Very clean & friendly staff! Amazing views and large property! Gio at Bocados & Rogelio on pool service absolutely made our experience better with their amazing service!! The spa is worth every penny! We had to book it again! The hydrotherapy & massages were life changing. Only downside I can think of was the sales pitch of timeshares on arrival. They act like you have a personal concerge who just tries to sell you on a "VIP" package to sell timeshares. It was very pushy and we just wanted to do our own thing and relax. If you ignore this, you will have an amazing time!

The property was alright. I didn’t like how far the gym was or some of the areas where you needed to take a trolly to. I was upset that no one gave us a map when we arrived. We had no idea where anything was other than one restaurant and the pool for a couple days. I also disliked the service. They took so long even if you were the only people at the restaurant. Another issue I had was that they always restocked the mini fridge and snacks but would never leave us water. Service sucked. We went to hangout at the upper pool once we found out about it but no one even came to ask us if we needed anything to drink or anything. There wasn’t many people and we were there for about 30 -45 min before deciding to leave due to children being hungry and thirsty. They came to ask us if we would like a beverage when we had stood up to leave. I was also upset to find out that there was an age limit for the children at the kids club. I don’t think this is a good place for families. There wasn’t much for them to do. I’ve been to better more family friendly hotels in the past but this isn’t it. I would definitely not recommend this place for families or anyone. I definitely won’t be coming back, with or without children.

Garza Blanca provided an exceptional stay. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to the honeymoon suite, which was truly amazing. Featuring a 180-degree balcony, a hot tub, and a jacuzzi, the suite was incredibly spacious. Overall, my experience was fantastic. The beach and pool areas were impeccably maintained and clean. The staff were friendly, attentive, and proficient in English. However, the only aspect that fell short was the food. Blanca Blue, the poolside restaurant, and Bocados (the steakhouse) were merely satisfactory, lacking any standout dishes. The hotel could significantly improve by hiring a new chef or implementing a new food program. The Tierraluna gardens were aesthetically pleasing, yet during the daytime, they felt desolate as the stores were open but devoid of staff, creating an eerie atmosphere. The trolley service was highly practical. It's worth noting that this hotel is very family-friendly, so if you seek a more private or adult-oriented experience, it may not be the ideal choice. Nevertheless, I am thoroughly pleased with the all-inclusive experience and would gladly return in the future.

The property was really nice. The pools are amazing overlooking the ocean. The resort is right on the beach where you can go back and forth from the beach to the resort. The rooms are spacious and clean. The service was amazing and the resort offered a trolly to take you from one side of the resort to the other. The things that I didn't like are, there were very few options for vegans and we were constantly hassled by the concierge service to buy into the timeshare. We felt very uncomfortable walking through the lobby because we were always chased down to ask to talk about the timeshare and how they would give us a certain percentage off on any merch that we bought, etc.
