This hotel offers an absolutely stunning experience with breathtaking ocean views and luxurious amenities. The rooms are well designed and comfortable, although some aspects of the service were lacking. While the dining options were generally good, there were a few mishaps that detracted from the experience. Additionally, ongoing construction can be a nuisance, making it somewhat less enjoyable at times.

Our stay at the resort was beautiful with great food and a lovely one-bedroom suite. However, constant construction noise during the day really marred our experience. Despite the noise issues, the location was stunning, and some staff members, especially the bartender and wedding planner, truly stood out for their exceptional service.

Our stay at Garza Blanca was absolutely fantastic! The views from our room were breathtaking, and the private cabana on the beach was such a luxurious touch. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. However, the dining options at some restaurants could use improvement, particularly in terms of temperature and variety. Overall, it was a remarkable experience that we can't wait to repeat.

5.0/10

My stay was quite disappointing overall. The rooms were just okay, lacking some basic amenities, and the housekeeping left much to be desired. On the brighter side, the location was nice with some beautiful views, but the dining and service didn't really meet my expectations. It's clear that there is potential, but there are several areas that need improvement to make it worth the price.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms I stayed in were basically just hotel rooms with two beds, not very special. They lacked a microwave and just felt a bit cramped with minimal furniture.

Service

5.0

Service was a mixed bag; it felt like they prioritized some guests over others when it came to getting a taxi, and overall, it seemed a bit chaotic.

Location

7.0

The location was decent with a nice beach view, but there were some limitations on pool access that I found odd.

Dining

5.0

Dining options around the pool were quite restricted, not starting until noon, and the snacks they provided in the evenings were just odd choices.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities were okay but didn't really stand out, and it was inconvenient to have restrictions on which pools you could use based on your room's location.
