Hotel El Ganzo

This is what I shared with the hotel staff: “Thank you for your hospitality. Every single El Ganzo staff that we interacted with exceeded our expectations. They helped to make this one of the most memorable trips, ever! We kept hearing from our friends how much they enjoyed your excellent customer service. We had organized a multiple 50th birthday celebration for 25 friends, and we are so incredibly thrilled that we chose this boutique hotel. I had one experience in particular that I really enjoyed. One of the staff at the ground floor (that helped us with our luggage on the first day), saw that I was extremely overheated on Saturday after our photo shoot. He immediately ran to get me a cold refreshing wet towel! How incredibly sweet. He also asked how many guests we had (I told him 24) so that he could prepare some for next time. We never had such a hot day again, so it didn’t happen, but that initial experience stayed with me. He is to be commended! I wish I had gotten his name so I could share who he was. By the way, the food was EXCELLENT (although very expensive, but worth it!). Beautifully plated, and gorgeously presented. We also really enjoyed the option to order our own food for our group dinners and bill them to our own room. I also loved that there was an El Ganzo taco truck parked outside for a couple of days so that we could have the option of the same excellent tacos at a fraction of the price. Again, thank you again for everything. We hope to be back again someday soon!”

Great vibes, super fun! Will be back again!

Love the vibes and attentive service at the Beach Club Ganzo! Aaron was super friendly, treated us so well, and made us want to keep coming back each day. The drinks and food were all amazing too. Thanks Aaron!!

My friend and I spent a week at Hotel El Ganzo, and we had an incredible stay. We came to relax, and the hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The design and architecture are stunning, with thoughtful details throughout the property. The staff is both professional and genuinely warm, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The food was fresh, flavorful, and consistently excellent. We also loved the private beach, beautiful pools, rooftop views, live music, and the variety of activities offered. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between stylish and relaxed, and the team was always attentive and thoughtful. The only downside was the pricing for food and drinks, which felt quite high, almost on par with San Francisco. While the quality is excellent, slightly more accessible pricing would make the overall experience even better. Overall, Hotel El Ganzo is a beautiful boutique hotel with exceptional service, thoughtful design, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. We would absolutely return.

My partner and I spent a few days at El Hotel Ganzo and we definitely had a great time and would return/recommend this place to others. Our stay began with us arriving a few hours early and they graciously held our bags while we explored the hotel. Ale and Ross were very welcoming and accommodating. Speaking English with them and the reception staff was easy. Immediately you could tell a lot of effort and intention had gone into the hotel's decor and ambience. This was not a typical, manufactured luxury hotel, there were small touches everywhere. As we would learn later, El Ganzo stands for goose, which in Spanish the animal is often a metaphor for doing things your own way and you could feel the counter culture that runs underneath the place. Unique art pieces appeared throughout the hotel (part of their artist residency program). The hotel put a large emphasis on music with it's art, live performances, interesting playlist and recording room where it invites musicians of all ranks to play. Really cool. The rooms were clean, comfortable and beautiful with every room having a great view of the marina and ocean. The grounds were immaculate and there were several features that surprised us like the cinema area, spa and numerous swimming areas. We went to the rooftop pool everyday to enjoy the sunset. The service was great there. We spent one day at their beach and had a lovely time with the best shrimp aguachiles I've ever had. All the food was of great quality. The playlist could make you feel like you were melting at times, in a good relaxing way. I'd learn that a part of the ethos of the hotel was to make you feel like you were microdosing shrooms. The hotel is owned by a family that owns many resorts throughout the area. The idea for the hotel was conceived by one of the sons who tragically passed shortly after the hotel opened. You can tell the family and hotel wanted to follow through on his vision. The hotel clears environmental standards and provides for the community it surrounds unlike many resorts that create inequality. We had plans of visiting the surrounding areas a bit more extensively but we ended up spending as much time in the hotel as outside of it due to the quality of experience we were having. During the pm they come and ensure your room is in perfect shape and even drop off a little treat. Again it's the little things this place nails along with the obvious. We enjoyed our stay and loved that it was adults only. It feels like this place exists for more than just profit, which I think is something most can appreciate in this increasingly commodified world we all live in. This place is authentically itself. Very much appreciated Ale at reception for taking care of us!
