This is our second time came to Garza Blanca. The (front desk)concierge supervisor from Hotel Mousai is extremely rude. Because of him we doesn’t go to the Japanese restaurant there. It’s kind disappointing. Staff in Garza Blanca are very friendly. The drivers are super nice. I love the drinks here a lot!

The positive is this is a beautiful property! Beach area is very nice, and views throughout are amazing! Very clean, rooms are also very nice. The negatives we experienced were upon check in after a long day of travel you are pulled aside by “concierge” to try and get you into their version of a timeshare. Takes about 15-20 mins not too bad but still not what you want to deal with when you’re ready to start your vacation. Another thing we noticed was the prime chairs around the pool had “reserved” place cards with family names. This was everyday so it didn’t matter what time you got to the pool. We had a unique experience totally our fault. We realized about 30 mins after checking out that we left our passports & credit cards in the safe! While I was full of anxiety and nearly in tears it took the guy at check out nearly 1 hour to get help. He seemed disinterested and nonchalant about it. Eventually I got help from a young lady who grabbed a key and walked me back to the room. This was our 2nd stay at Garza. Our first visit was lovely and outweighed the location distance to the Malecon and DT PV, this time the negatives and location outweigh the positives and we don’t plan on returning.

This property is meant for more couples and not family oriented. We booked through Expedia that stated they had 7 dining options but of the 7 one is not included in the all inclusive and the other 3 are strictly for adults and out of the 3 where my kids could eat at one of them is closed literally the whole week. We had to eat at the same two restaurants the 5 days we were there. This resort also charges for any extra snacks you may need in your room along with extra water. Management isn’t very helpful either. We spent so much money to stay at this property and yet we were limited to being able to enjoy the resort entirely. Also if you are planning on staying be aware that there is construction going on and some of the rooms are literally facing the construction workers and the noise.

The all inclusive service is not worth. Once you pay $900.00 usd for 3 nights you will be billed another $1000.00 as of food not included in the all inclusive services. They don’t explain to you the type of food you order if its included or not. Plus the menu for the inclusive item ilare very poor and not worth $300.00 a day. Staff tipped them selfs other than us tipping in cash multiple times. You have to pay for wifi service a $100.00 for the stay. No shuttle service to airport as explained in app description.

This property can be a bit confusing as it is two separate hotels. One is on the beach and the other is up on the hillside. They allow you to go back and forth but they have very different vibes. We tried to book at the hotel on the beach and had no idea that we had been "upgraded" to the place on the hillside, which is not what we wanted. The hillside hotel is not nearly as relaxing as the decor is a bit chaotic and doesn't really know what it wants to be. Giant chess pieces, gold, silver, checkers... I have no clue what they are going for. But the rooftop is great. The restaurants are good but not as good as their sister resort in Cabo. The best one we went to was the Chinese restaurant Dao and the rooftop. The drinks are sometimes good, sometimes not. It depends on where you are and when you order. You can order a margarita and it's great and then you order another round and it tasted completely different. Consistency in bar training could help. The staff was hit or miss. We were assigned a personal conceriage who was hounding us about a membership plan and when we didn't sign up for the presentation we never heard from her again. I think overall this place is too concerned with trying to sell you on a membership and needs to focus more on service. The check in process is not good. We waited in the lobby almost an hour to check in. That is unacceptable at a fancy resort. They had one person working check in desk but lots of staff for selling memberships.

We received no VIP access or upgrades. Went to dinner Monday evening at Blanca Blue and wife came down with food poisoning and was bedridden the rest of week. This was verified with the hotel’s Doctor. She could not leave room until we flew out on Saturday. In addition service at pool was terrible as the servers catered to the larger crowds. Terrible experience for the amount of money spent. We will be writing more reviews on many sites.
