The property was nice. The food was average. Staff was great specially housekeeping and all the food service staff. The waiters at the pool and the food at the pool exceptional. Roger Garcia at the concierge was amazing. After being mistreated by a sales member Roger turned the horrible experience into a positive one. Sales team needs to understand that not every guess is going to became a member. Not everyone is interested in a membership. All guess should be treated equally rather they are a member or not. With so many amazing resorts I wouldn't stay there again.

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.
