This hotel is perfect. It is beautiful, luxurious with excellent food and service without the big price (yet). It is on my favorite area of Puerto Vallarta; it has more jungle and much nicer beaches. The hotel's beach is beautiful transparent water and very clean with life guard on duty. It is a short drive into downtown and they have... More

We spent 9 wonderful nights at Garza Blanca and it was the most relaxing vacation at such a beautiful resort. From the moment we arrived and being greeted by Omar, bell captain, who made us feel right at home; to check-in where it was a breeze and staff were very pleasant and efficient. The location is amazing - on one... More

I just returned from 4 nights at Garza Blanca and loved it. I have been to Mexico maybe 10 times in the past and in PV 4 times and this was by far my best experience. I was traveling alone and I felt very secure at this resort. The rooms have deadblots and an additional locked gate to get into... More

Stayed three nights at this very lovely property. Staff very accommodating and friendly, and our suite was superb. Great ocean views, comfortable bed and surprisingly quiet, considering the main highway runs past the property. The dining room is really nice and staff helpful However, the food quality was disappointing, and, we thought , overpriced, First night dinner was very bad,... More

We loved our 7 night stay here over Christmas and the New Year.This was our first time at Garza Blanca and to Puerto Vallarta. Here are some highlights from our trip. 1. Airport Tax - The airport is a crazy mess, prior to coming we arranged a taxi from the airport to the hotel and couldn't quite figure out what... More

My wife and I travel a lot. We have four kids. When we travel without the kids, we do like to stay in nicest places possible. This place is incredible. The jungle/mountains literally begin 10 feet behind the place, then this incredible well laid out resort is tucked just behind a white sand beach (most beaches in Mexico are golden/brown--this...

Gorgeous property. Absolute luxury with architecture framing every breathtaking view. Our suite had an ocean view - all of them do. Staff was so very friendly and helpful. The meals at poolside and Blanca Blue were delightful. Since I'm a ceviche nut I enjoyed the variety at the pool. Acapulco tuna was my fave. And the cucumber mojitos were great!... More

Yes it is there but not so bad that it bothered either ofus. If you are looking for total peace and quiet with no external noise of any kind....... good luck, I have... More

My husband and I went to Garza Blanca in August though a deal we found on Luxury Link. The room was spacious, new, and clean. You wouldn't be able to find a single thing wrong with it, it was in pristine condition. The view of the ocean from the view was wonderful. We had the all inclusive plan. We opted... More

Well, the setting; the pools; the 'condos' are fabulous. But this is Not a well-managed property. Our main gripe is this: I rented a double unit, and it is gorgeous. Stayed 4 nights. Thought we'd do some of our own cooking & enjoy eating out on the patio. Why bother installing a Full kitchen; provide oven mitts but no pans... More
