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.

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
