Vallarta Zoo

Loved the property, backing into the forest was a real treat.

This was our second stay at Garza Blanca, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! Communication before arrival was excellent. I’d expressed concerns about potential construction noise, and the team was incredibly responsive, even offering a complimentary upgrade that ultimately wasn’t needed. Our only real frustration was check-in. We were sent from the main lobby to Sanctuary, only to be sent back again, adding about an hour of waiting after a long travel day. Fortunately this was the most frustrating part of our stay. The staff are what truly make Garza Blanca special! Mario at Blanca Blue was wonderful, Roberto was a pleasure as always, and the entire team was consistently warm and helpful. The food and drinks were fantastic, especially the fresh, delicious beachside offerings. We visited Hiroshi twice, and our first dinner was incredible thanks in part to our excellent waiter, Jaime! Our second visit was slower, but still enjoyable. We loved the beach and beachfront pool, especially the policy against reserving unattended chairs. Our son enjoyed the kids’ club, and we all loved the skull-painting workshop. Daily housekeeping was excellent, and staff kindly accommodated my request for an ergonomic pillow. Occasional afternoon towel shortages were minor inconveniences. What keeps us returning is knowing that when something goes wrong, the staff genuinely care and work quickly to make it right. We love Garza Blanca and will happily return again!

Beautiful stay
