Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers phenomenal rooms that are well furnished and look luxurious, boasting a beachfront location. The service from the staff, including Marco & Lorena at Blanco Blue, is amazing, with a really friendly and helpful attitude. The location is magnificent, providing a five-star experience high in one of the towers overlooking Banderas Bay. The dining experience was ample and lovely, although some may find it a bit of a pitch for timeshares.
The hotel was amazing, with comfortable and well-furnished rooms featuring a huge wraparound balcony, a hammock, and a hot tub. The service was exceptional, with a genuine desire to ensure a great stay, though there was a small inconvenience regarding room change and rates. The location felt private yet close to all the action, offering access to the beach and superb dining. Dining was remarkable, going until noon, but there were sales pitches for timeshares. A great spot for a relaxing and peaceful vacation.
The hotel is set amidst stunning mountains and offers a spectacular view. The rooms are incredibly spacious and boast beautiful views of the coastline and lush jungle. However, the dining experience was average, and the hotel lacks some essential facilities.
My stay at Garza Blanca was truly spectacular. The rooms were immaculate, with a full kitchen and a huge balcony complete with a hot tub. However, the experience was slightly marred by the presence of smelly cigarette butts in a designated non-smoking room. The blasting AC was very effective in keeping everything cool.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room provided ample space with breathtaking ocean and rainforest views, equipped with convenient facilities like a Washing Machine and Drier, Tea/Coffee Maker, and Heater. The room was beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture, a cozy bed, and luxurious amenities, but it lacked a chair.
Arriving at the hotel, I found it great that our room was not located near the construction site, allowing my daughter to nap peacefully. The staff was incredibly helpful in ensuring our family had a memorable stay, and our suite was gorgeous and clean. The location was superb with breathtaking views of Banderas Bay, and we enjoyed the relaxed setting close to both the main road and beach. Although dining was not impressive, the service was top-notch, making our stay even better.
