My recent 5-night stay at Garza Blanca was good. I enjoyed the beautiful, cozy rooms and very nice views, but the ongoing construction did occasionally intrude on the peace. The staff truly stood out, providing really good service and nice experiences. Dining options were fantastic, although I found the drinks a bit weak unless you asked for doubles.

My stay at Garza Blanca was mixed. The location and views were stunning, particularly from our room with an excellent ocean view. However, I encountered issues with service and housekeeping that didn't meet the expectations of a five-star hotel. Overall, it was a beautiful hotel with potential, but I left with some disappointments that made the experience uneven.
