Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa

I had an amazing time staying at Garza Blanca hotel! Very nice resort and delicious food at the restaurants. Very friendly and attentive staff and I would like to thank Javier Alan one of our servers for his excellent service and attentiveness and kindness! Really enjoyed my time here!

Just finished our family vacay at the Garza Blanca Porto Vallarta. Couldn’t be happier with the property and staff. From the top down, everyone went out of their way to make our vacation extra special. From upper management to our waiters and housekeeper, thank you for everything (Jonathan, Adriana, Erik, Daniel, Gonzalo, Carlis amd Andrea to name a few) Now here are some of my recommendations: 1) be sure to take plenty of bug repellent and sunscreen during the summer months 2) for dinners, we really enjoyed Dao for Chinese and Mysika for Peruvian and Bocados for steak, just make reservations as soon as possible. 3) For breakfast, Blamca blue by the main lobby has a decent buffet but we opted for Hirochi’s Japanese restaurant for a much nicer alacart at the nicer setting of their new tower Sanctuary 3) Speaking of Sanctuary, that’s exactly what their new tower is. Quieter main pool and the 16 and over rooftop pool, nicer, more refined amenities for those who value those, highly recommend it. You can still use the rest of the hotel but then you can come back to your sanctuary away from the crowd, well worth the added cost in my opinion 4) Try their daily activities, yoga, ceviche, tequila and wine tasting, morning kayak etc and the open air cute nightclub in Mousai, specially if you like smoking a little hookah and let your hair down a little :)

We have been staying at Garza Blanca/Hotel Mousai for years. We keep coming back to Garza PV year after year because it is a wonderful place to stay for both families and couples. Garza Cabo is great as well, but the PV location is unmatched. This was our first time staying at the Sanctuary Tower. At the time of our stay the tower was complete but there were areas (poolside Peruvian restaurant) that were not open. Check In: We normally check in at the beachfront area but Sanctuary has its own check in at the tower and this was a wonderful change. It was nice to check into the tower we were staying at and the process appeared faster than ususal. Lobby/Tower: The tower/lobby itself is beautifully appointed and stylish. We were there during the world cup and the sports bar was a great place to watch the games and enjoy delicous cocktails. The bartenders and servers were so welcoming and kind. Penthouse: We had reserved two penthouses. We have stayed at the Garza Penthouse before and they couldn't be more different. The penthouse at Garza is a true showpiece with an enormous living area; the room screams grandeur. The Sanctuary penthouse is really just one VERY nice suite with a connecting room. The Garza penthouse allows you to have everyone gather in the living room and balcony area to enjoy together, whether you are dining or relaxing. The Sanctuary penthouse has a small sitting area but the bed is right behind a room divider that doesn't provide privacy for the person who is trying to rest. The Sanctuary room is new and stunning but if you are traveling with family, I would recommend just getting your own suites and not paying the "penthouse" price because it doesn't provide the same amenities or space for the money. Housekeeping: Gaby and Carmen were wonderful and our room was well taken care of. Pool: While the pool is lovely, I have to say it was a dissapointment. Since this tower is geared towards families, we thought the Garza design team would have taken the opportunity to design a pool to please kids, perhaps a lazy river? There was construction at the pool restaurant so it didn't help the situation. EVERYTHING ELSE: Per ususal everything else at the resort was wonderful. We loved our daily breakfast at Blanca Blue, lunch poolside was delicous and the pool servers are amazing. I am sorry I can't recall everyones name. Our dinners at Bocados, Hiroshi and Karuma were delicious. Our visit to the spa was once again a much needed treat. There were a few issues here and there but they were minor and not anything that will prevent us from returning to this amazing location.

Garza Blanca resort and staff were all wonderful! See my detailed review on Yelp also. I really want to give special recognition to our consierge, Modesta. She took great care of us. Also, Rafeal who led us in an amazing hike, keeping us all safe as he led us thru a jungle type area to the most beautiful swimming hole. He also taught some of the exercise classes, but was good about checking in and saying hello everytime he saw us. Also, there was Roberto who took such good care of us at the pool every day. He was always so friendly and so efficient! I would highly recommend this place! We’ll definitely be back! Again, please read my review on Yelp also!

My husband and I recently returned from a 7 day vacation at Garza Blanca Preserve in Puerto Vallarta. This was our 4th time at the resort and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The grounds/gardens, the beach, pools, rooms and towers are all immaculately maintained. The food is top notch at all of the restaurants, as well as the service. Enrique at Noi, Edward at Doa, Antonio beachside, Hurma at Hiroshi, Bartolo, Daniel and his partner at Blanca Blue in the bar, and all of the people at the sports bar. I apologize for those I did not mention. The people who work at Garza Blanca are all amazing and I truly believe they are the reason why this place is so special. Special shout out to Javier at the beach. He always made sure I was “Happy Happy.” All in all, this was an amazing trip. Looking forward to our next visit.
