The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Culinary Experience

During my stay in early 2024, I had the pleasure of experiencing the dining at Garza Blanca. The restaurants, especially Hiroshi, offered amazing dishes, like the Sake Citrus roll, which was simply lovely. Each meal was a delight, and the variety made it hard to choose just one favorite. I enjoyed every moment spent dining there!

Really good Spa Visitation

In February 2024, I took advantage of the Spa Imagine's services, and it was a highlight of my trip. The massages were great, and the hydrotherapy facilities were an very nice experience. I could relax while enjoying the beautiful sunset, which truly made the spa visit lovely.

Stunning Junior Suite

The Junior Suite I stayed in was incredibly spacious and beautifully designed. The ocean view from my balcony was amazing, and the facilities were well-maintained. I loved waking up to such a stunning view every morning during my trip in March 2024.

Family-Friendly Features

I traveled with my family in April 2024, and I was impressed by the amenities available for kids. There were various activities, such as guided hikes and fun games. My children were entertained throughout our stay, allowing us adults to enjoy some relaxing time. It was a great balance!
