Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience. Despite paying $1,900 for a one-night all-inclusive stay, we were charged separately for breakfast the next morning. The explanation given was that all-inclusive coverage ends at midnight, which was never made clear. This policy feels misleading and left a bad impression. I would suggest choosing one of the many other excellent resorts in Puerto Vallarta instead. Very disappointed. Will never come back.

We had a good time staying at Garza Blanca. Overall I would rate it a 3 out of 5 . It definitely doesn’t have that many activities so if you have children I wouldn’t recommend staying here . The beach is a bit rocky which can be uncomfortable. If you are staying on the lower ground I definitely would recommend to stay on the second floor . We had a rat in our room on our last night and it definitely bummed us out . Food was great , service was okay (seemed slow compared to other resorts that we stayed in ).

Great....but....

It was a nice place, the only issue was the time share folks were harassing us for hours on end called up 10 times in the morning and were relentless. They need to know it's on our time not their time we are on vacation not a service. They had the service backwards and were terrible.

The resort has great pool and snorkeling area. The 2 things disappointing are: 1, the kids club. It is super small. Like super small. So there is not attractive to kids and the activity and management is pool. 2. There are only 2 restaurants taking kids and one is far so we basically stay for one restaurant for the whole trip which is so sick to eat the same food over and over again. There are 5 restaurants but three of them are adult only. Which is not family friendly at all. I really think these two parts need to change
