I stayed at Garza Blanca Los Cabos. I have to agree that one of the biggest cons is the lack of entertainment, which you would expect in a 5 diamond resort. Another con is the lack of availability of reservations for certain activities and restaurants. When we arrived, all of the activities we were interested in were booked already. The drinks were phenomenal! Overall, I love this resort. As far as entertainment goes, I would think Cancun offers enough nightly activities. Overall, this resort is pretty amazing!
I stayed there about a year and a half ago. Had pretty much the same experience as you did. Most of it I could overlook but their coffee was terrible. No espresso bar and their filter coffee was like something a cowboy would make over a campfire. Also the gym wasnt great. Still, loved my stay there. Food was amazing.
Loved your review. We are going in August . In all the room tours I did not see any drawers to put clothes away . Do you have to keep things in Luggage. We have the 1 bedroom and a few of us are in Jr suit double
Someone approached us and offered us a tour to Isla Mujeres, said we'll just drive around the island on a golf cart. We ended up at that hotel being sales talked into buying their unit for 3 hours.
Hi there, The Hydro is an extra charge of $50 per person includes 2hrs. to the entire spa 👉🏻 here is the full experience: ua-cam.com/video/0t_8Nzz62Hk/v-deo.html
Irina, you are so beautiful! 😍 (sorry Devon). Would you suggest this resort for a sole male (straight) traveller in his mid-40’s? I just don’t want to be bored at night or feel uncomfortable. Any other resort suggestions are welcome. Thank you! 🙏
We are at this resort right now. Good coverage of pros and cons! We like the relaxed elegance style of this resort. But on one of your points, we had to ask our butler to cover the glowing power button on the A/C control. It is toooo bright! We also have to cover the alarm clock with a towel every night it is bright as well. And we'd love some enetertainment options as well such as an outdoor movie.
I appreciate the heads up, Liv, but I think I'll be okay skipping the night life this time around and opting for a cozy night in with a good book - thank you for your input!
A big con that was left out is the beach is not great for swimming. The water is murky and the ground is rocky. It’s also far away from any restaurants and entertainment.
Hey LivLove, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I totally agree that a good night's sleep is super important, and it's a bummer to hear that the bed didn't meet your expectations. 🛏️ In my personal experience, I've found that different people prefer different types of bedding, so it could be that the hotel opted for a different material. 🤔 But I can definitely understand the appeal of goosedown! Thanks again for your comment and for being a part of our community. 😊👍
You 2 are my favorite of all travel reviewers! Thorough with all the important details laid out plainly without the fluff.

Agree💯
Now those are some heavies.

Thank you for sharing! I love coffee as well and enjoyed my gold espresso cups in the room which i requested for.

Sorry dont remeber
I loved your review…so helpful!! 🙏🏽😊😊😊
So glad!
Wow you guys left nothing out!!!! 👌🏼😊 Thank you. I want more entertainment tho😢. Sounds super tho. Love the royalty treatment ♥️
Great job
Thank you! Agree! We were there for a few days so it was ok without entertaiment but if we were staying for a week, we would have been bored
Good point with the sun> I like resort with alot of sun.
Thank you
Lovely! Extremely informative - thanks.
You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it ❤🌺
Hi Devon, I love those sunglasses. What brand are they?
Nice pros and cons. Thank you!
Glad you liked it
Do you have access to the sister resort beside aswell? It looks like that resort has some additional amenities
Yes you have access to the lower tier resort but their facilities are outdated
How was the pool temp? We'd be there in late February and I like my pool toasty...especially if it's going to be in the shade a lot. Thanks
It was chilly
great video guys!
Thanks so much!
Someone approached us and offered us a tour to Isla Mujeres, said we'll just drive around the island on a golf cart. We ended up at that hotel being sales talked into buying their unit for 3 hours.
Ouch. Sorry to hear that
What is appropriate tipping for the butler?
Its up to you depends on how many days you are staying.
This place is gorgeous. Is there another resort in Cancun that’s as nice/luxury but is more exciting?
Sorry, now sure. Hard Rock might have more entreatment
Did the hydro therapy cost extra? I go so as an all inclusive guest!
Hi there, The Hydro is an extra charge of $50 per person includes 2hrs. to the entire spa 👉🏻 here is the full experience: ua-cam.com/video/0t_8Nzz62Hk/v-deo.html
The shade is a plus for some
Yes but depending on the season. Gets kind of cool
Thanks for the video... you made me cancel my reservation and go with a different resort lol :)
Which one did you book instead?
Went last year and was so good but it was not complete I feel it needs more time to be fixed
Agree!
The green bathing suits in the opening is stunning, may I have the links for it ?thank you
Please share the links , 🙏 thank you

Can you please tell me did you have any stomach issues or any trouble with any of hotel food or drinks?
no issues at all!
Irina, you are so beautiful! 😍 (sorry Devon). Would you suggest this resort for a sole male (straight) traveller in his mid-40’s? I just don’t want to be bored at night or feel uncomfortable. Any other resort suggestions are welcome. Thank you! 🙏
No would def not. Its more family what we would suggest is Temptaion all in clusive
Do you have to pay extra for the spa if you have all inclusive?
The spa is an up charge but you can use your hotel credit towards it which will bring the cost down.

WOW! enjoy tour time!
Great video, thanks for your tips and detailed review. Can't wait to be there!
Hope you enjoy it!
Definite con on the night life and dj
I appreciate the heads up, Liv, but I think I'll be okay skipping the night life this time around and opting for a cozy night in with a good book - thank you for your input!
Is the beach nice??
Too much seagrass and rocks in the water but the sand is ok
Hi Irina! Thanks for the videos so perfect! Can I ask:
Does the hotel have heated pools?
And, does it have a lunch or dinner buffet? Or just breakfast
Hiii, thank you🙏🏻 no they don’t have heated pools but they do have lunch & dinner buffets🤩 hope this helps
Have you been to,the resort in Cabo?
No
What kind of room did you get?
The lowest category
A big con that was left out is the beach is not great for swimming. The water is murky and the ground is rocky. It’s also far away from any restaurants and entertainment.
What has been the best food you have a had in an all inclusive resort in Mexico?
In this resort, the Japanese restaurant was outstanding
@@Livingtheglobe Did you do the Robata experience?
The bed could definitely be better. Why no goosedown?

You guys are a beautiful couple!
Thank you

🤙🏽
I'm like shade so that is a plus for me! I don't want a lot of sun
Thanks for your comment, LivLove - as someone who also loves a bit of shade, I can totally relate and appreciate your input!
