This is a family run hotel and you realize that from the minute you check in. The grounds are nicely landscaped and the rooms, while nothing special, are clean and quiet. There's a refreshing pool and pleasant areas outside where you can gather. We were leaving at 6 am on a boat ride to the Island, and they provided breakfast... More

This place is just short of unbelievable - a true oasis in San Blas. It's not so much about a five star hotel as it is about five star people and service. The chef is world renown, and it was proven true every night by the richness of the sauces, the beauty of the presentation, and the wonderful and caring... More

Rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were the best!! The El Delfin Restaurant has an amazing chef in Betty Vasquez, perhaps the best meals ever with sauces to die for!!! Betty's sister Diana is a treasure in the restaurant as well as are all of the wait staff. It is quite a family operation and their love for... More

My family and I traveled to San Blas, specifically to experience the world renowned Jungle Tour and had recommendations to stay at Garza Canela. We were pleasantly surprised at the spacious gardens and courtyard of the hotel with an spacious outdoor pool that was a big hit with the kids. The food at El Delfin, the hotel restaurant, was absolutely... More

I agree with a previous poster that this hotel has seen better days. The room was very average, poorly lit and was worn, although clean. The pool area was nice and we did use the bar, but overall I would not stay here again. This was the most expensive hotel we stayed at during our trip and did not come... More

Receptionist was cold and described a list of do's and dont's. Room was old, poorly lit and lacked maintanance. An area heavy with mosquitoes with window screens with holes, a nail sticking dangerously out of a bed side. Bathroom shower tiles were dirty and moldy. Old TV with poor reception and very noising window air conditioning unit. Allowed people to... More

If you enjoy Mexico and haven't visited San Blas, north of Puerto Vallarta, you should. Garza Canela is the place to stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, flowers everywhere, and include a gorgeous family chapel for quiet reflection. The pool is refreshing after a long day of sightseeing (do not miss the jungle tour! or...

It was a great surprise to find such a place in a little town like San Blas. Extremely friendly Staff, superb cuisine and very comfortable rooms. The staff was very helpful giving us directions on what to visit. We really enjoyed La Tovara jungle boat ride. Do not forget your insect repellent

.I've been traveling to San Blas for many years. First trip in 1980. At least 2 dozen trips since then. All but three times I didn't stay at the Hotel Garza Canela. Twice in the grass shacks at Matanchen Bay with the bugs, the bugs, the bugs, the bugs! And one other time at the Posada Del Ray another fine... More
