Great Resort for a Family!!!
This was our 4th trip to the Garza Blanca. We have a child and are always concerned about safety when traveling. At the Farza Blanca we always see the same employees and they even remember our names. The resort itself is a little distance away from the hustle and bustle of town and is more secure than some of the other places we have stayed in PV. The rooms are always clean and modern with great service in the room or down by the pools. We highly recommend the Garza BlNca if you are traveling to PV!
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Garza Blanca Preserve and Resort. Soon as I walked in to check in the view was amazing! The staff was awesome so nice and willing to help with any needs you may have. The food was great and drinks were delicious! I rented the one bedroom suite with an awesome beach front balcony with amazing ocean view. They offer room service and set it all up for you to just sit down and enjoy your meal. If it’s someone birthday celebration they can help with arrangement such as balloons and ordering a birthday cake. The beach was beautiful clear water in the swimming area darker as u go deeper naturally. They have stand up paddle boat and kayak to rent out for free. Just sign a waiver and off you go. They also have hiking trips and kayak tour with prior reservations. Which I heard was amazing but my reservation was cancelled due to too many jelly fishes in the water where the tour leads you which makes sense to cancel it. Even witness two dolphins from my amazing balcony. I came home to my computer to already see when to book my next trip! Truly amazing resort
Wonderful resort for a couple or the family. We enjoyed our time there with friendly staff, great pools and wonderful food. Would recommend wholeheartedly!!!

Condition of beach5 answers
what is the condition of the beach now? Been trying to get information directly from the hotel but to no avail

Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa sits on a beautiful stretch of wide, sandy beach. The beach has white powdery sand. There may be some sea weed to wash ashore, but that is common on most beaches
KristenCC
The beach is extremely windy right now in June. Some of the Sand blows on you and actually hurts. There is a very strong riptide and it is not very swimmable
Lovthebeach
They have rocks on most of the beach but they have a area cleared for swimming and lounging. It was perfect .. the sound of the waves on the rocks is great
Aliandjeff
The beach condition is beautiful !!! What more can you ask for it's clean and the people are super amazing !
Sabbieo
It's great - nice and sandy, clean, with plenty of beach recliners. The beach is somewhat shortened than the resort itself as it turns very rocky, but I think looking back that might be because they wanted to keep the privacy of some of the 1st floor rooms on the resort property near the beach. It's a nice beach that goes into pretty water though.

Hi, when will beach restoration finish? We are planning a trip in August and anxious to know if there will be equipment noise2 answers

The official price for a taxi going from the airport to Garza Blanca is $19+. Is this a good deal?

As we cannot purchase the cab for you, we would be unable to advise on the pricing. We would recommend comparing between CheapCaribbean and other vendors when looking for the best deal.
JeannieCC
Yes. Set standard rate is 400 pesos from airport, less coming back (250-300 pesos) because taxi doesn’t have to pay airport fee

Map of Local Area
Puerto Vallarta is one of the friendliest and most diverse beach destinations in the world. Once but a tiny fishing
village, Puerto Vallarta is now a world-class resort area that has retained all of the quaint charms of the original
village.
Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa All Inclusive
Carretera a Barra de Navidad Km 7.5, Zona Hotelera Sur
Are you ready to check-out with a check-in at island-style rest and relaxation?
Just a hop and a skip south of Puerto Vallarta, resting peacefully between the
lush emerald foliage of the Sierra Madres and the cerulean blues of the Pacific
Ocean in Banderas Bay, Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa makes its home
along the winding shores of the Rio Nogalito.
The beaches of Banderas Bay are known for their expansive vistas and cozy,
pristine sands, and the Garza Blanca's beautiful stretch is no exception. Grab a
complimentary sun lounger under a shady umbrella and wait for the courteous
lounger-side waiter service to cater to your every whim. The sizable infinity
pool appears to disappear into the Pacific and offers a Jacuzzi as well as the
same luxury amenities available at the beach, sans the sand.
Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa offers restaurant options that leave nothing to be desired, courtesy of Blanca
Blue, an exceptional gourmet experience with contemporary fare like ravioli
stuffed with ricotta cheese, parmesan and asparagus, served with butter sauce
and real slabs of San Daniele prosciutto. Aqua Azul pleasures palettes with
traditional Mexican cuisine and an assortment of ceviches.
After you've tucked in, test your tensile strength on a paddle board, train
for the rowing team on a kayak or blow bubbles in the surf on a snorkeling
expedition, all courtesy of Garza Blanca. For the fairway fiends in the group,
Garza Blanca is a short driving distance from four gorgeous 18-hole golf
courses. Take your pick from Marina Vallarta, designed by Joe Finger; Los
Flamingos Country Club, designed by Percy J. Clifford; or Vista Vallarta, home
to two separate courses, one designed by golf legend Jack Nicklaus and the
other by Tom Weiskopf.
