"My new fave in Cancun"

Roof top bar was bomb! Alexa my concierge was excellent. Great service and beautiful room. They were very attentive from the moment that our family arrived. Good restaurants to choose from and the buffet offerings were fresh. Only minor beef was the weak alcohol but thats pretty much all all-inclusives

"Spring Break 2024"

Amazing experience! Clean, accommodating, and relaxing atmosphere. Jesus, Adrian, Kenny, Eduardo, and Fernando (servers and butler) were awesome! We smiled our whole trip and made so many memories. The food was excellent and no corners were cut. Sister hotel was fun to visit, but Garza Blanca was best place to book rooms. We will definitely be visiting this resort again!

"Garza Blanca was the BEST!"

Came to Garza Blanca for a girls trip, and we were blown away. The resort is newly built and everything has a brand new/clean feel to it. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everyone went above and beyond to make it the best week ever. The beach was small but great right in front of the resort. The water is a little rocky so bring shoes with you. But the blue water was perfect to cool off in the sun.The best part was the adults only pool on the rooftop. There were a good amount of kids there, but having the adults only was so relaxing!! Jaciel and Gustavo were incredible! They were constantly checking on us and making sure we had plenty of cold water and drinks. Moises was getting us all set up every morning with the perfect spot, and he even went and bought popsicles one morning to bring to everyone in the pool! I was so pleasantly surprised by the food! Dao on the rooftop was the best meal we had, but Hiroshi and Bacardi were both amazing as well. Pedro our waiter at Dao was so friendly and amazing and really made our birthday dinner night so special. We had so much fun here! Edwin was an AWESOME bartender that took great care of us. Drinks were amazing, and he was always smiling and so happy to help even when the bar had a sizeable backup. This resort is well worth it, and the all inclusive was one of the best Ive ever been to. When it came time to leave they handled everything for us so it was a smooth exit on the way back home. We will definitely be back here for future trips to Cancun. I cannot recommend it enough!

"Fave resort with best service"

Best service ever. Edwin met us at arrival and took excellent care of us until he put us on the road back home. Our butler, Luis was superior. Went to Dao twice for dinner. Gustavo was the best waiter Ive ever had and we are from Charleston where service is key. There were a lot of kids as it was spring break week so we spent most of our pool time on the rooftop. Moises always got us the perfect spot and Alfredo kept our drinks full all day. Garza Blanco is our favorite resort. Cant wait for more locations.

"Best March trip yet!"

The best luxury get away for my wife and I. We enjoyed the incredible food at each of their restaurants. The amenities and pools exceeded expectations. We had incredible room service from Noe daily that made every morning perfect. Ninfa took care of every concierge matter we could think of. Arcos helped us with planning every day to ensure we never had a problem. The servers at the restaurants were always extremely friendly to include Luis at Davino, Jose for our romantic dinner on the beach, Hermelito at Blanca Blue. Truly an incredible trip and experience

What an awesome place! Service is exceptional. The Rooftop is a must for adults. The staff was so accommodating. Special shout out the Alfredo and Moises. Alfredo was on point with our drinks and food orders. Moises always made sure we had our pool chairs ready when we arrived including fresh towels. You must eat at Hiroshi.

We had a great time at Garza Blanca. The resort is beautiful, and the food was excellent. Our Butler Edi was the BEST! He helped us out at every turn. The trip wouldnt have been the same without his help in making dinner reservations and helping our two college age kids navigate a return to the resort when their flight was canceled last minute.

We just spent a wonderful week at this property. We were pleased with everything! The food, the rooms, the property, the staff were all excellent. We traveled with a group of teens for spring break and their families and had a great experience! Everyone was awesome but we would like to give a special shoutout to our Pool Butler Arad who helped us each day with chairs and towels, our Pool Waiter Enrique who took great care of our group, and we had a very special experience two nights at the Gourmet Food Hall with Alejandro and Carlos as our servers. These men specifically deserve a shout out for their service which went beyond. A special thank you to Amr who helped us with our large group dining each night. I cant recommend the property enough! We hope to return!

"Great Resort"

Three couple for 9 days at this resort. We were pleased and would have given a 5 except issue with booking restaurants. If you are going you must book your evening restaurant reservations online weeks before you go, otherwise you will be out of luck and upset. We read reviews before going and booked and had no problem doing this; the issue is that no one informed us of this and we had to find out for ourselves. Resort was clean, lots of pools, restaurants and bars. Nice beach with a few weeds that were always cleaned up. No evening entertainment which was good for us. Service ranged from average to fantastic. Mostly great. One bartender served us at bars and the beach for several days - Angel, likely the best service we have ever had anywhere.

"The Villa Del Palmer, March 2024, ADRIAN IS THE BEST!!"

Adrian at the beach bar was the best bartender I have met in my life. Both the drinks and service were the best I have ever experienced. Because of the service Adrian gave us I have decided that the Villa Del Palmar will be the place I stay for every vacation in the future. Truly from the bottom of my heart, Adrian is the reason I will be returning. He is a good man and a responsible bartender. Between the conversations and the great drinks I feel like I have made a friend in Cancun that I look forward to seeing again on my future trips. He really made me and all my friends feel like we were the center of his attention. I wish every bartender I met was as good at their job as Adrian. I hope you give this man a raise because he deserves more because of all that he does.

I cant say enough about this resort and the service we received. We traveled with a child with severe food allergies and were always greeted by the chef. Cesar at the breakfast buffet took excellent care of our child and her allergies and went above and beyond to avoid all cross contamination. Pablo also went above and beyond. The food was by far the best weve had at all inclusive. Portions were also more than you typically get. We loved this resort and we will be back!

"We cant wait to come back!"

We just came back from this beautiful resort a week ago. I spent months planning our trip, thanks to this group. I would like to return the favor. VDP is most definitely the best resort we have ever been to. Everything we encountered was nothing short of amazing. Transport- we booked through Costco and had private transport through BD Experience. Everything was smooth and they were great with changing our transport time to the airport.Check in- check in was very smooth with little wait time. We were sent to concierge and invited to a tour of Garza, which we respectfully declined. We were not bothered the rest of our trip about this presentation.Room- we booked a one bedroom oven view room and were placed on the 5th floor. It was a very clean, beautiful room with a beautiful view. I posted a video of it on this group. Housekeeping (Francisca) did an amazing job every day. This was the cleanest resort we have ever been to. Pool- we LOVED the pool. The main pool is heated, which is one of the reasons we chose this resort. Many resorts in Cancun dont have heated pools and in February, that makes a difference. The pool floor is more pebble like but not bad as others have indicated. I absolutely loved the Zumba at noon every day and the trumpet player on a few afternoons. A big shout out to Edgar, our pool attendant, and Antonio, our pool butler. Both provided amazing service! Pool chairs- this is a big issue and is why I separated it from the pool. We went down at 6:30am our first full day to secure chairs and the pool attendant was already reserving them. We quickly found out that if you get hooked up with a pool butler (tip them well), they will reserve chairs for you. We also found out that if you are a member, you get chairs reserved. We noticed the attendant putting gold towels down on at least 50% of the front row chairs. He said they were reserved for members. This would probably be my only complaint about this resort. You shouldnt have to get up at 6:30 on vacation to get chairs by the pool.Beach- we found the beach relaxing with little to no sargassum when we were there. However there is sea grass so do not expect it to be beautiful crystal clear water. We enjoyed kayaking one day, however the other days it was too windy. We loved the tiki bar with the swings on the beach. We definitely spent more time at the pool. Food- the food here is definitely first class. We spent half of our trip not AI and half AI. I would say if you are going to drink alcohol and like appetizers or desserts, definitely do AI. However, you can have amazing meals and not do AI. If you dont do AI, do not do the breakfast buffet. It is very expensive and just average. We were just fine with coffee in our room and pastries from the Go Mart on our non AI days.Tipping- Definitely tip for good service. If you are not AI, they will add a 15% gratuity to your check. When we were AI, we gave an extra tip. I would recommend tipping in cash. I wish I would have tipped all in cash so my final bill would have been easier to check. We also tipped housekeeping each day. Isla- this was my favorite part of our trip. Definitely take a trip to Isla Mujeres!!! Take the car ferry next door and do NOT miss Playa Norte. In my opinion, it is worth just spending the day at the beach at Playa Norte and doing nothing else. This beach is the most beautiful beach and water I have ever seen. If you miss this, you are missing out! Punta Sur is also amazing. There was so much to see on Isla that we went twice and will definitely be back!Check out - check out was easy and they do have a lounge you can use if you have a later flight. We didnt use it even though we had a later flight. We used the pool and even had lunch before we left. We quickly changed in the bathroom before heading to the airport. Overall our experience was amazing and we cant stop thinking about it. We are definitely going to be back because one week is not enough in this paradise.

"Relaxation at its Best!"

The resort is one of the best weve stayed at in Cancun! Edgar at the pool is the best server there is. His attention to detail is unmatched. Drinks would be ready and waiting for us when we got to our chairs. All of the restaurants had great food, servers and menu choices. I would highly recommend this resort for families or couples alike!

"Great Resort"

My wife, two kids (3 & 5) and I stayed here for ten (10) days and stayed in the ONE BEDROOM SWIM UP with the all-inclusive package. We have stayed in this part of Cancun three years in a row each time for ten (10) days in similar all-inclusive one-bedroom accommodations.Room (5 out of 5) - The ONE BEDROOM SWIM UP is an amazing room. Looks just like in the photos. For a family of four, this room is incredible. The main king bed is very comfortable and has lots of space. The four of us spent the majority of the time sleeping in the same bed together comfortably. There is a pull-out bed in the living room which is by far the most comfortable pullout I have experienced in any resort in Cancun as it comes with a memory foam mattress. There is a washer and dryer which was great to use to dry our bathing suits throughout our stay and great to wash all your clothes at the end of the trip before heading back to reality. The main bathroom is amazing and even has a heated toilet. There is a full kitchen which we didn't need as we had the all-inclusive package but for anyone without the all-inclusive, this kitchen has everything you need. The patio is fantastic as it has a nice-sized pool (Which was cleaned daily by their personnel), a good-sized seating area to eat (Which we used for breakfast almost daily), and a hammock which my kids loved.Butler Service (10 out of 5) - All I have to say is if you have Alexa as your butler you are in amazing hands. She is so attentive and did everything to make our trip the best experience possible even when things did not work out as we expected which I will mention here and later in the review. She really went out of her way for our kids to make sure their experience was just so memorable. Our children were unable to utilize the "kids club" which I'll discuss later. Still, in replacement, she created little things for them to experience like several surprise bubble baths with animal balloon characters inside, getting them colouring activities and crafts to do, and having a kid packs prepared for them with little white kids robes and sandals (which my kids loved and took home and still use), stuffed toys and some activity books. She would check on us every day and work tirelessly to get us the reservation times we needed. One night we decided to stay in and order room service and asked if it would be possible to find some crme brule for dessert as it wasn't on the menu and twenty minutes later she showed up at our door with two of them from one of the restaurants. Lastly, my sister-in-law also stayed at the resort at the same time with her 1-year-old baby. She had requested a crib before arriving but was told that they did not have any available for at least a couple of days. I asked Alexa if there was anything she could do to help and in less than an hour they showed up with a crib and a stroller for her. All I can say is if your room comes with the Butler service you NEED to request Alexa as your person.Restaurants and Food (5 out of 5) - Every restaurant here was amazing. There are so many options to choose from especially since you can also book the restaurants from their sister resort next door. The food is incredible and there are so many menu options (Even if just order the all-inclusive options). The presentation of the food is amazing and the dessert options are the best I've ever had at any resort I've stayed at in Cancun. They even had live music in some of the restaurants which was fantastic. The food from the room service, near the pools and at the food truck was also great and the room service always came to the room with great presentation as if you ordered at one of their restaurants. We also ate breakfast on our patio almost every morning which we ordered the night before and they always delivered it right at the times requested. The morning buffet breakfast is also a 5 out of 5. Great place to eat and has so many options with freshly made items from their bakers. There were only two things I would say that made me give it a 4.5 and not a 5. 1) The Italian restaurant closed the day we had it booked due to renovations so it was unfortunate we didn't get to try it and found it hard to get another reservation fortunately Alexa our butler was able to book us a big group reservation last minute so that we had another place booked for dinner. 2) One of the restaurants was closed for the full duration of our trip to accommodate a huge group of people from Brooklyn. The fact that it wasn't available to us did not bother us but I would've liked to have been made aware before we arrived that one of the restaurants that was part of our package was not going to be made available to us. No compensation was given for this.Drinks (5 out of 5) - Best resort thus far when it comes to the all-inclusive drink package. They have every type of drink even Caesars which some resorts don't have. The package includes top-shelf liquor which at other resorts you had to pay extra for. Fantastic hot and cold coffee options. The bartenders were great and even recommended some great drink options when asked.Service (5 out of 5) - The service was great for the entire time we were here. Including Alexa our butler, the pool support personnel, the restaurant service, and the bartenders. Everyone was very accommodating. Definitely some of the best service we have experienced at a Cancun resort.For Children (3.5 out of 5) - I will start by saying this is why we do these vacations as we want to create great memories for our kids and I will also say that they had an amazing time here and they will forever remember this resort and the times they had as it was a memorable experience for them. Some of the great things include: The merry-go-round in the resort is such an amazing touch and my kids loved utilizing it every night after dinner and they still talk about it. They have great pools with ankle-high water to allow them to play in the pool with their toys without having to get right in and swim which they loved. The restaurants had great food and drink options for the kids and they always tried to accommodate any request. This was great for us as my kids are vegetarian and at times options at restaurants can be limited but my kids always loved the food and never left the restaurants feeling hungry. The reason for our lower score in this category is because they do not have any live shows at night for the kids to enjoy which our kids really enjoyed at the other Cancun resorts we've stayed at. The ice cream shop they had outside was not included in the all-inclusive package which my kids really enjoyed at the other resorts as well. There is not much of a kid's pool there. They have a small splash pad but nothing to rant and rave about in comparison to the other resorts we have stayed at. Lastly, the biggest issue for me was the "kids club". They had two very strict rules. You are not allowed to play in the "kids club" if you are under the age of 4. This meant my youngest who was a month away from being four years old was not allowed to enjoy the "kids club". This isn't what bothers me as I know there are legal reasons for this and this was actually the same situation at the other resorts we stayed at. What got me is that they wouldn't allow my youngest to play in the room even if I stayed there to watch her. They had a strict no-parent rule whereas at previous resorts my youngest was able to enjoy the amenities as long as my wife or I stayed to look after her and in addition signed a waiver confirming that I was responsible for them. Due to this, my oldest didn't feel comfortable staying on her own and she didn't want to stay without her sister. I even asked if I could just stay for ten (10) minutes so that my oldest could get comfortable with the space and the care personnel there but they flat out said no and that parents are not allowed to stay whatsoever. This upset my daughter and me as one of the best memories she had from the previous resorts was the kids' club and the crafts she was able to do daily. So what this comes down to is this place is a daycare and not a kids club at all. It is somewhere to drop off your kids so that the parents don't have to watch them. Which is a nice service for a resort to have but don't sell it as something other than that. I will say again Alexa our butler really made an impact here to make up for the disappointing daycare by bringing crafts and activities for them to experience throughout our stay. Sales People (2 out of 5) - So this resort is one of many they own and they do ask whether you would be interested in learning about their exclusive club that for a fee will give you access to all their resorts at better prices. We denied this right at the beginning as we do not like to be sold anything while on vacation. They did ask a couple more times throughout our stay which I always denied but they did not push it too hard. I would've given this a 0 out of 5 but when I compare the other one-time another resort tried to sell us on something similar this time was not as aggressive and they didn't push it as much as the last time we experienced this. Resort and Overall Experience (4.5 out of 5) - This place is beautiful, clean and modern. Really everything you want from a resort. Our room was amazing, the service was great and the food and drinks were incredible. If I was on this vacation without my kids I would've given it a 5 out of 5 but when considering their needs I would have to give it a 4.5 out of 5. I will say if it weren't for Alexa I would've given it a 4 out of 5.

"Great experience"

Beautiful resort, the staff is amazing and so courteous. Shout out to bell boy Fermin went out of his way to be helpful and nice and extremely polite. Tons of food options, the beach was not that great but otherwise no complaints. Highly recommend.

"Spring vacation 2024"

This is by far the best resort in Cancun. It is north of the the hotel zone and very quiet. The amenities are also spectacular. The butler service is on the spot with all your needs. Luis and Francisco provided us with all the service you could expect. We will be back for sure later this year.

"Relaxing Stay"

Checked in on 2/7/24. Checked out on 2/11/24 Garza Blanca CancunEverything was good in the resort in terms of my stay. I checked out on February 11, until now they have not released back my incidental deposit to my credit card. I have been calling them, transferred my calls to their front desk, but for 2 weeks now nobody is picking up my calls. The incidental fee is close to US $1, 000.00. A female supervisor from the concierge department whom I spoke with last week on the phone, took notes of my concerns, and she told me she will make sure to forward this to the front desk manager. She will email the front desk manager and copying me on her email. So far, no emails too. Jorge from the front desk who checked me out on 2/11, said that I will get back the incidental deposit, "NOW" is his word used, and that was on 2/11. Also the concierge staff in Cancun is quite aggressive in their timeshare presentations invite. Quite annoying. Imelda Romero

"Loved this resort!"

Our family of 5 just returned from an amazing and memorable week at the Garza Blanca Resort. It's been 20 years since we have visited an all-inclusive resort....after several trips the experiences all started to feel the same so we took a break. We wanted our kids (19, 17, 12) to have an all-inclusive experience and headed into this holiday expecting a similar experience as our previous ones. Thankfully Garza Blanca surpassed them all and lived up to its many outstanding reviews. From the moment we arrived the hospitality and service was exceptional, the building design, decor, ocean views and amenities striking, impressive and very clean. And the food....WOW! There was a wide variety of places to eat and many reviews mentioned how delicious the food is and it really was...we enjoyed every one of our meals with our top favourite restaurant choices being the rooftop DAO and Da Vinos (located next door at the sister resort Villa del Palmar) and Hiroshis. As beautiful as the surroundings are, what made this trip so magical for our family was the staff and the effort and personal care they put in to create a wonderful holiday for us. We are Canadian and this is a level of service and hospitality we don't often get to experience at home...we encountered so many staff members who were enthusiastic, polite and engaging. Our butlers Alexa and Eli checked in with us a couple of times a day and were available to answer any questions we had right up to our departure from the resort. The waiters Louis and Alonso at Da Vinos as well as Martin at Dao provided the most memorable dining experiences that our entire family just loved as did our waiters at Zama's and Hiroshis (unfortunatley I can't remember their names). We also really enjoyed the daily water aerobics led by Willy, Landa and Alexander and didn't miss a single class! Our two favourite staff members though were Patricia and Abraham who were responsible for our beach hospitality. We spent a good portion of each day at the beach so spent a considerable amount of time with them. Their hospitality and kindness certainly left an impession on our family. Doorman Willberth was also courteous and helpful with our departure.While our overall stay was wonderful there were a couple of drawbacks - the resort was very busy so we needed to be at the pool/beach early to secure chairs, dinner reservations needed to be made well in advance of our actual trip (we did not know this and were stuck with late meals and did not get in to all the restaurants) and there is of course the usual "membership" sales force looking for business. The ongoing construction did add to the noise level at times but that component did not affect the quality of our stay. One other mention - as busy as the resort was the staff worked hard to keep up with the demand - wait times at the Gourmet Dining Hall for breakfast were reasonable and most essential supplies/services were usually well stocked (ie. clean towels). We had such a great experience here we would definitely return.

"Memories that will last a lifetime "

This resort was everything I dreamed of and more! This was a trip celebrating 35 years of friendship. Upon arriving, we were greeted with glasses of champagne and a smile. We 1st met our 2 butlers, Fernando and Alvaro, who made sure everything was in place and that all our dining reservations were made. Throughout our stay, we never met anyone who did not greet us and simply smile. Some of our waiters/waitresses that made this experience better were Martin, Jesus , Rubi, and a big shout out to Pedro (at DAO) and his mad skills with his fire desserts! To our amazing bartenders, Giovanni, Alexei, and Gama (not sure of the spelling of his name), please seek them out for some delicious drinks. If you go to the breakfast buffet at the Gourmet hall, you have to try their green juice and signature flavored coffees. Spa dates are a must. If you go to the beach, look for Ricardo, he is a sweetheart and so helpful! The majority of our stay, we went to the adults only rooftop pool and bar where we were greeted daily by Moises and my favorite guy Benjamin! Benjamin works extremely well under stress and still makes time to stop by and say hi. The staff at this resort went above and beyond and, in my opinion, need raises!!!

"Great staff made the trip...."

Garza Blanca Cancun was a good family vacation. The best positives were some of the staff. First and foremost, Ricardo, one of the beach attendants, truly made our vacation a success. He assured that we had good spot on the beach everyday. He visited with us several times a day to make sure we had all we needed. AND most importantly, he truly when out of his way to acknowledge and help us celebrate my son-in-law's birthday. He set aside a beach bed. He decorated it with a Felix Compleanno sign and he brought us sparkling wine to celebrate. Perfect! In addition, Cliff and Joseph at the DAO restaurant also when to great lengths to make sure we had a special meal. The food and service were spectacular, Cliff and Joseph provided simply superb service, including another fun celebration of my son-in-law's birthday! These people are only examples. Most of the staff were truly very nice. The only exception to the great service was the front desk. While some were nice, the check-in process was slow, not very friendly, and a bit perfunctory. This could use some work.Our room was delightful and housekeeping was excellent.I would be a bit wary of returning during a school vacation week, as it was very crowded with young children. But if you have young children, it could be a great selection.

Garza Blanca was a beautiful resort. We went with our 2 children and had the 1 bedroom swim out suite. The food was decent. Eli and Alexa were our butlers and they were absolutely amazing and very helpful. They constantly messaged and checked on us and got all of our reservations for us. The other employees who made our trip amazing were Wilberth, who did whatever he could to help us and Fermin. Wilberth was always checking on us to make sure everything was going ok. The only thing I have to warn about is, this resort isnt ALL INCLUSIVE if you dont actually select the all inclusive package.

"Gorgeous property with the best staff!"

We just returned from the most amazing vacation. Everything was perfection from the moment we arrived to when we left. We stayed in a 2 bedroom ocean view suite. The views were breathtaking and the suite was incredibly clean. We ate at all the restaurants but our favorite was Hiroshi. We wished they had also been open for lunch. We spent each day on the rooftop pool as it was quieter there. The views were incredible and we loved the amazing service that Moises (the pool concierge) and Diana (our server) provided. They felt like friends by the end of our stay. We also loved Willy who came around to play blackjack, bingo and also led other resort activities. He made the stay feel extra special and fun.We cant wait to visit again!

"The Experience You Deserve"

Our family has now come to this resort twice and its absolutely safe to say there will be more visits in the future. We are a family of four with two children, both under the age of 10 and VDP Cancun continues to be a favorite of ours. A balance where you can have an adult resort feel but still have enough amenities and activities to keep kids entertained all day is what you will get here! The resort grounds and suites are very clean and organized, the service is prompt and professional. There are a variety of restaurants to choose from which give you multiple meal options throughout the day, not to mention room service being available as you need it. There isn't enough gratitude to share with the entire staff / crew at VDP Cancun, for all of the hard work that goes into keeping this place pristine day after day. The attention that goes into ensuring the pool pH levels are constantly accurate; the grounds landscaping being constantly manicured to perfection; the cleanliness of the lavatories and not seeing a single trash bin full or overflowing... These are things you most likely wont think about while being there because they are all in perfect condition, but it takes work to keep it this way. Thank you to all of you hard working men and women who do this day in and day out so that people like us can truly appreciate the experience while being there! I especially want to thank:Too (Antonio) for making our pool experience extremely comfortable. The guidance and advice given on how to spend time around the resort and surrounding areas was appreciated. And thank you for playing football with our oldest as well as supplying our youngest with some floaty toys!Jorge P., Emmanuel and Erick for our daily breakfast treatment which was extremely appreciated (as I know we had some particular requests). We admire your poise and promptness to our needs/requests and want to thank you for that!David, Santiago and your counterpart (forgive me as Ive forgotten her name) for keeping the activity vibes high, energetic and entertaining. The dancing, the activities and the "BELLY FLOP" chants were absolutely fantastic (and hilarious)! Beto, Miguel and a handful of other gentlemen that I could regularly count on for prompt and delicious TSLs at the drop of a dime. The bartending service was perfect all around!I intend on visiting VDP Cancun again and will recommend friends and family to this exact resort. Thank you all again for making our journey to Cancun one worth remembering forever!

There is a market on site and a Gomart across the street for some things.If you want to go to walmart you have to catch a taxiOur Conceirge Marlene helped us with everything during our stay.She was excellent.

I love that this resort offers such large suites so our family could all stay together. Otikio and Yosel were our butlers and they went above and beyond everyday of our stay to ensure we were happy. I've been to other resorts that provided butler service, and this was BY FAR the best service. Otikio reached out weeks before our stay to take care of all of our dining needs and reservations. Check-in and check-out process was seamless. I will definitely be traveling to this resort again with our family.

This was a nice spot overall. The facility is beautiful, and most of the food options are pretty good. That being said, the attentiveness of the staff at the restaurants/pools wasnt the best weve experienced. An exception was Diego at Gourmet Hall. He was OUTSTANDING and truly made us feel like family. He went out of his way to take care of us and make us feel special, even on busy evenings. If the entire staff were like Diego, this resort would be the best weve ever visited. If youre staying at Garza Blanca Cancun, have dinner at Gourmet Hall and ask for Diego youll have an amazing evening.

"Classy Cancun"

We are checked in for a 4 week stay at Villa del Palmar and Garza Blanca and Spa Cancuuun. We are enjoying the relaxation in the sunny weather. The around the world dining experience at their numerous restaurants are sure to offer your preferences.The one bedroom suite had some unique amenities and a wonderful ocean view balcony. Traveling as a senior couple, we appreciated the adult only pools. There is a mass of families with unsupervised children here. We regret that there is no signage or supervision by staff or parents. Loud screaming, shouting, running up and down hallways in hotel common areas shows total disrespect for other guests. It is too bad that this 5 diamond resort doesnt expect a higher standard of proper decorum. The most that we got from employees was rolling of eyes and shaking their heads with us,We want to give reward to the following staff with complimentary behavior:At the Villa Del Palmar elite pools-Carlos and KevinAt Capricios Buffet - MarioAt Blanca Blue - IrwinAt Zama - JavierAt Bocados - Luis and JoseAt Hiroshi - EdwinAt Villa Del Palmar elite pool - waiter AngelBeach Security - RufinoConsiege- Eunice SanchezTime Share staff- Ruben Montiel Al Varez and Monica Suarez Gourmet Hall Morning Buffet- Armando breakfast and Emmanuel(cappachino maker)Gourmet Hall evening- Benjamin, Cumi and Tomas FYI: Kevin at the Garza Blanca check-in gets the Negative award for the most pios and unhelpful employee at this resort. We have reported him to Guest Services. His staff has to ask him every question that we as guests have. This makes a very long line at this desk when our attendant has to ask permission from him on every move. We received mis-information on premium internet. We had it included at Villa Del Palmar for 3 weeks. The Garza checkin staff refused us of this amenity. Knowing that we qualified for this, we met with Monica. She said that we did receive this. She said that Kevin and his staff should not discontinue that service and start charging us. It all got fixed, but no thanks to Kevin and staff. Garza had 2 weeks warning about our transfer from Villa Del Palmar, however Kevin had no room for us until 4:00. We had no room for 4 hours.Thanks to all for our special great memories.

We had another wonderful visit, this time with family. Bocados and Gourmet Hall continue to be our favorite restaurants. Special thanks to our excellent Gourmet Hall server Toledo, who is a consummate professional. Our butler Josue was very thoughtful about ensuring all our dinner reservations were in order, as well as other matters of our stay. We took advantage of the pools, beach access, rooftop, room service and Spa Imagine. Pablo in the spa was a skilled massage therapist and several of our party booked him for massage. We love the fitness center its big and spotless with new and plentiful equipment and machines.

Literally could text them and they would respond in seconds and help with whatsoever we needed. I could not be more appreciative of them. We got so lucky! Also- Alonso at the lobby bar was beyond the best, when he was not there for one day, it was definitely NOT the same! He was so on top of it, and great. And served to our needs! Would come back just for the great service we had here :)Also- service at the restaurants and pool side were phenomenal and extra sweet and generous.

"Best staff ever!"

The best thing about Garza Blanca is not the lush rooms or the incredible food or the luxurious decor or the many pools for every whim. The best thing at GB Cancun is the staff. We were greeted by Ninfa, our concierge. She and Andre and Josue, our butlers, were constantly checking on us in case we needed anything. Using our WhatsApp, we were able to text any time of the day if we needed anything. Amazing! At poolside, Santiago and Ricardo made sure we were comfortable with chairs and an umbrella and a drink in our hands. At DAO restaurant, Gustavo and Joseph helped us choose an exquisite meal and quality wine. Alfredo, at Bocados, and Diego, at the Gourmet Hall, took care of our every need. At Hiroshi, we were given excellent service by Antelmo. We visited the Food Truck for the first time and were catered to by Jeovani. We also had the best massage ever by Aseneth and Leyni. The rooftop pool is incredible, and so were the staff there. Benjamin, Moises, Antonio, and Jaime took excellent care of us. The staff is like family. We loved every minute. Again, an extra special thanks to Ricardo, Benjamin, and Gustavo. You made our trip so much fun! We hope to see you again very soon.

"Beautiful Resort"

The resort was incredibly beautiful. The pools were amazing, as were the restaurants. Every single member of the wait staff was incredibly kind and attentive. They were all super personable and funny and helpful. We had the privilege of being helped by Gabriella, Raul, Ruben, Oscar, and Noa. They all went above and beyond and were so kind. The only thing that wasnt great was since there were a lot of private events going on, a bunch of restaurants were closed. Since we had the all inclusive package, it was a little harder to make it worth it with the amount of things that were closed. I wish we were made aware when we got there, which places would be closed on each day so we knew how to plan dinners and lunches better. We also didnt like how the residents of the sister hotel on the other side of the Garza Blanca were not allowed to use certain restaurants even though they paid the same amount as us for the all inclusive. One other small thing that wasnt terrible but was annoying was how the concierge peopleHave to push the free timeshare breakfast on all the people checking in. They pushed too much about it and it made us uncomfortable.

"Hydrotherapy was amazing!"

Phenomenal resort!! Very classy and very clean! The restaurants were incredible. Our favorite part of the trip was the daily trip to the spa for the hydrotherapy!! The pools were so big and chairs by them were so comfortable. We didnt have trouble finding chairs every day we were there. The rooftop pool was what drew our attention there and it did not disappoint!

"Perfect Family Reunion Spot"

Garza Blanca is beautiful, and the staff is so friendly. The food was EXCELLENT during our entire trip. The pools are wonderful for swimming and were a great temperature. The beach is nice and calm, and we really liked being on the outskirts of Cancun-central, the resort and beach felt very safe and private. The views from the garden view junior suite were lovely, and it was nice that we did not have to worry about any noise from the pool side. Plenty of shade, chairs, towels, sun, drinks, and food made for a wonderful family get-together - we will be back!

"A wonderful stay at VDP with the family"

We just returned to the snowy Northeast after a wonderful 5 day stay at the Villa Del Palmar in Cancun. There were 4 of us and we stayed in one of the 2-bedroom penthouses with the all-inclusive option. It was perfect! To start with, the staff were wonderful! They were all very friendly and attentive - from the wait staff to the bartenders to housekeeping. In particular, Rafael, Otikio and Yosel were awesome! So personable and accommodating - always engaging with all 4 of us. And we were in great hands with Kevin and Edgar as we spent most of our days pool side with pina colada in our hands.The food was great, with Hiroshi's at Garza Blanca being our favorite, followed closely by La Casona's. All the breakfasts buffets at Caprichos had nice options and quick service so we could get on with enjoying the amenities VDP had to offer.On most of our vacations we cover a lot of ground, seeing a lot of sights. This trip was (intentionally) quite different for us as we didn't venture outside of the resort. There are options for folks that want to explore more but this was next level relaxation and exactly what we wanted.Thank you to all the folks at VDP that make it a special place. I'm sure we will be back.

"We will be back!"

We travelled with our kids ages 12 and 17 and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation! We stayed in the two bedroom partial ocean view (one king and two queens) - there was more than enough space for us and the balcony overlooking the pool and ocean was breathtaking! The beds are so comfortable! The food is great, highly recommend Davino, the Italian spot. Daily breakfast buffet had lots of options and my husband really enjoyed the omelet station. The activities people in and around the pool area are so friendly and have lots of energy! Staff on the property from the front desk to room service attendants were prompt, efficient and so very welcoming. Special shout out to Armando at the pool for being an amazing server and attentive to our needs. We received excellent bar service every night from Yair - he remembered our drink order from the first night and made delicious mango non alcoholic drinks for our girls! We really enjoyed getting to know him! If you get the chance try out the short bike ride tour to the ruins near the property. It's a short excursion but really cool to see. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent!! We will def be back to visit again - thank you VDP for the hospitality of your professional staff and beautiful property!

"Great but not as good as it used to be."

This was our second visit. There was a problem with our reservation, the main supervisor at check in was extremely unfriendly and unresponsive. After hours we were finally able to check in, she gave us our room key and that was it. Did not tell us where to go or who could help us. I found a bell hop who grabbed our luggage and led us to our rooms.We first visited when this hotel had just opened and it was amazing. No complaints. But now in order to have dinner reservations you have to get them through sales department which try to lure you into the 4 hour sales pitch. Diana was relentless and would not accept no for an answer. She made our dinner reservations all around 9:00 at nightwe had 3 kids with us. We had previously told her this would not work. So we took it upon ourselves and walked into every restaurant we wanted to eat at and made our own reservations around 6:00 every night! Such a scam! Everything else was excellent. Dao was our favorite restaurant. Taco truck is always good, steakhouse, and sushi. Shoutout to Alonso at the Lobby bar for making excellent old fashions. He worked so hard being the only bartender with a crowded full bar. I also suggest NOT to get the mini massages at the pool. My husband and I both got one. We tipped $20 and the female masseuse talked trash about me In Spanish. He also screwed up my back, he pushed his elbow so hard into my shoulder blades it moved two ribs out of position. I was in pain all of vacation which was 3 weeks ago and have spent $400 of therapy to fix it, still in pain. Make sure to grab your lounge chair at 6am or you wont get one. People hoard chairs and end up never using them. I wish staff would monitor this more closely so people who actually want to swim and sunbathe can do so. Fabulous beach, clean sand, great service, kids loved the bouncer. Overall we love Garza and will always come back. Such a gorgeous hotel with beautiful views. The comfortable rooms and service are hard to beat!

Truly beautiful location; the developer (Tafer) has taken advantage of the Caribbean Sea views with cascading infinity pools galore. The resort is only 2 years old so the rooms are in very good condition. Restaurants have great chefs - the food is very good, service at the pool is great. A few miscommunications with room service.

"Great service on the beach and at the Casona bar"

We were at Villa Del Palmar on probably the busiest week of the year between Christmas and New Year. While there were many guests and it was a bit difficult to get dinner reservations, we were able to find chairs for our family at the beach together and never felt overly crowded. And speaking of the beach, Gabriel took great care of us with food and drinks and always a friendly face and recommendation to try something new. We also really enjoyed the service from Carlos at the Casona bar. He had great recommendations for tasty and unusual drinks and found his smile and humor to be infectious.

"Great family trip to Garza Blanca!"

We just returned from a wonderful stay at this property. The hotel is quite majestic. As you enter the lobby is spacious and well decorated and looks out over the pools to the beach. Its a truly great entrance. We had two 2BR suites, which were amazing. Lots of space, well decorated and great features like a full refrigerator and washer/dryer. One was swim up, which means you have a small private pool (it doesnt connect to the main pools). The grounds and pools are beautiful and well designed. A series of pools near the hotel flow down to the infinity pool that looks over the beach. You do have to get out early to reserve chairs, which is a hassle that is common these days. The beach is small but very nice with lots of chairs and some obstacles for the kids to play on. The service was top notch. The staff would say hello and smile always and the friendly vibes permeated the entire resort. Special shout out to our butlers Andres and Josue who were terrific. The food was a big surprise. Most all inclusive have mediocre food, but several restaurants here were quite good. Especially Hiroshi and Dao as well as the steakhouse. You can also eat in the restaurants at the sister property next door. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant. Dao was our favorite. It sits atop the hotel and has stunning views of the sea and the forest. This is also the location of the adults only pool as well as the rooftop bar. Our waiter Pedro was so much fun. He really made the night for us. The spa may be the best part of all. We all got treatments and several in our group thought they were among the best they have ever had. Great setting and wonderful therapists. There are a few slight negatives. The resort is a little sleepy at night, though the NYE party was super fun. Beer and liquor is included and you can get good liquors in the bar package. But if you are a wine drinker you have to buy bottles at an extra cost and they are more than they cost in the US. The resort is also medium sized so should plan excursions if you are there for a long time or you might get a little bored. We did a snorkel trip and deep sea fishing excursion and both were fun. In all a great property that is very well run with an amazing attention to detail.

The remodeled rooms are amazing. My ultimate favorite was the food. Davino restaurant was my absolute favorite and if you go there, ask for the server, Gerardo. He was excellent. Gerardo, the Sommelier and Martin (manager) were very accommodating and suggested some amazing wine selections. Also, the chef did not miss with the delectable foods and flavors. I have been to this resort a few times and I will be going back to visit Davino. Gerardo (waiter), keep being genuine as you are because your service was impeccable. Also, the pool server, Benjamin is a gem. Sit in his section when laying out near the pool. You wont regret it. Benji also got us the best chairs.

"Luxury family fun"

We just returned from another fabulous week at the Villa Del Palmar. The rooms had been updated and very sheik. I liked that they have decreased their plastic use with refillable shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the showers. A 1 bedroom worked okay for our family of 4 (kids were supposed to sleep on the pull out sofa but one made a bed out of the cushions). The nespresso machine was a nice treat. The view was magnificent and we made good use of our hammock. The few times I needed to work, I got good Wi-Fi on the balcony.The pools were very clean. I was happy to see that there are fewer people blocking groups of chairs early in the morning if you wanted you could find a few lounge chairs at any time if you werent too picky about which pool you hung out at. This was our first year with Elite status so we hung out at the Elite pool, which was just lovely. Kevin and Carlos made sure we had everything we needed. Our waiters like Eric were super attentive with amazing cocktails and lunches from the Snack Bar. It was so luxurious to have a cabana with pillows and towels all set for us right at the infinity pool. I loved going to yoga each morning and participated in a number of the pool/beach activities like movie trivia and bags. My husband and I also went on the organized bike ride to the El Meco ruins, which was about 15 min ride on sidewalks. You pay $5 to get into the archeological site and its more than worth if it you are not making the long drive to Tulum or Chichenitza. The iguanas sunbathing on the ruins were an added treat. We liked it so much that we returned by cab with our kids later in the week (warning its $20 for a 6 min ride, but the driver stayed while we explored so the total $40 seemed well spent). Its super buggy so cover up and accept the bug spray from the man at the gate. We also tried the inflatable obstacle course. You wade out, which my kids didnt love, but it was pretty hilarious to try. I did some paddle boarding as well, but sadly the kids cannot participate. They can, however, kayak. They liked the kids club activities like scavenger hunt, mocktail class, and pizza making but its a lot smaller than the one they loved in Nuevo Vallerta. The Christmas party with Santa complete with dessert bar and dance revue was a highlight. The kids also liked the lovely carousel that runs starting at 4 pm among the lovely (but expensive) shopping along the Garza Blanca front terrace. For more affordable souvenirs, turn left out of the resort and then left again by the gas station to a little shop with the usual cancun stuff. The food could not have been better. We did the all inclusive package as I didnt want to think about prices during our stay. Much better to prepay and then forget about it. That said, I am sure I are and drank more than I would have otherwise. My kids loved the breakfast buffet, which has something for everyone with a lovely ocean view. Only issue was the milk isnt cold- assuredly a cultural quirk. We tried every restaurant. I am a pescatarian, no shellfish, and did not have a problem finding delicious Tuna, Salmon, grouper, and Seabass dishes. The host staff is always careful to ask about food restrictions. I love that you can reserve at either resort adds variety. My kids mostly ate from the adults menu, and the wait staff was very accommodating of their desire for everything on the side. They also made lovely mocktails for them now that they have the taste for them (try the Perry Punch or Lychee Bubblegum). The desserts were also fabulous, especially the passion fruit creme brlée at La Casona. My favorite meal was the Tuna at Zama, my husbands was his short ribs at Blanca Blue, my kids seemed to love La Casona where they split salmon and sirloin best. Hiroshis sushimi was delicious though the kids didnt love the ramen. My least favorite was the fish and chips from the gormet food hall but the brisket my husband and son ordered got great reviews. We did go on the member update to check out Garza Blanca. Its super modern- every detail is beautiful. We like villa del Palmar for the more Mexican motif. But it is gorgeous especially the rooftop infinity pool. Be warned, the sales guys are very good at their jobs. But we asked that they simply hold the offer open until the end of the week and the bocked, so we knew the upgrade wasnt for us. We did love the discount, however, on our excursion to Xavage, which was simply incredible. I will do a separate review.

We had a big mishap with our room at the beginning of our trip but they were so kind and helped us resolve everything. The food has been great and we have enjoyed the adult only rooftop bar and pool! Jamie at the rooftop has been incredible and makes AMAZING drinks. He was always ready to answer any of our questions and accommodated our request perfectly. He makes the best chocolate martini and is so friendly! Hector at Hiroshi made us a beautiful personalized dessert every night we ate there. Both of them have made our honeymoon so special and we are very grateful. Hiroshi gave us the best service by far but that was because of Hector! Jamie behind the bar killed everything! Alexei at the swim up bar was so friendly and helped us with everything we could need! His service and attitude could not have been better! The drinks were spectacular. Our room stayed cleaned and stocked with the all inclusive drinks and snacks. It is such a quick drive from the airport. We used USA transfers and it was quick and easy to get here maybe 25 minutes from the airport!

We travel here every year in December for the last 3 years. Are coming back in April 2024.

It was a visual and culinary delight. He is a great find for your resort by providing exquisitely fine Oriental cuisine in a truly elegant visually delightful atmosphere. I use these superlatives honestly and sincerely. Waiter Hector at Tao has become a friend. We enjoy seeing and talking to him. He always delivers warm friendly timely service in an engaging and enjoyable manner. What distinguishes Tao for us from Davincis and Hiroshis [both are excellent] goes beyond our preferences and enters the domain of delightful gastronomic surprise. We ate at hundreds of regular and fine restaurants in China during our 20 years living/working there from 1993-2013. The Tao surpasses all of them in decor, taste, delight and service. It is deservedly placed on the rooftop of your fine luxurious resort. It may seem weird to express this so emotionally, but these are the words that emerge from my fingers as I type, one now moment emerging into the next now moment. :-) "

"Beautiful, relaxing, & fun"

The resort is beautiful. Food and Drinks are delicious. There were 17 of us. All the restaurants went out of their way to accommodate us. Pool Butlers did a great job. Water sports staff went out of their way to let us snorkel safely while kayaking. Carlos, Yair, & Jorge are the best!

"Amazing Family Holiday "

My family (my husband and I and our 3 girls - 8, 10, 11) and my mother in law stayed at the beautiful Villa Del Palmar for a week in December.We rented the 3 bedroom Penthouse which had an incredible wrap around view of the ocean and a hot tub overlooking the ocean as well. Our butlers Rafael & Santiago helped us to verify dinner reservations, book a spot at the infinity pool and provided daily schedules with activities for us. They were incredibly helpful and their service was wonderful. As part of the room package we also got an experience in room and we opted for the dinner. This was by far, one of the most amazing experiences. Chef Jhonny Pangera is incredibly talented and the flavors and textures of the food were outstanding. The service of Mateo Perez made us feel like royalty during the dinner and his attention to detail of our likes and dislikes made it feel very personalized. Carlos Chi and Rafael Santoyo also helped pull the experience together. We did the family pictures which turned out amazing, had the best house keepers Ive ever experienced on a vacation like this, and the incredible assistance of Leticia with the concierge booking trips. I also need to note the exceptional service of Carlos at the infinity pool and his team. This was our first family trip out of the US, and the people who work at this resort have all made an imprint on our vacation and memories that will last forever. Would definitely recommend for families or couples.

"Amazing! Could not ask for more!"

My family and I had an incredible experience staying at Villa Del Palmar! We stayed in a 2-bedroom ocean view suite, which was more than enough room for our family of 5 (kids 10, 12, and 16).The rooms were very clean and the cleaning crew was very detailed as they came through to clean and restock our room everyday.Restaurants were all great and AMAZING service all around! Elias at the buffet restaurant and Luis at the pool area were always so friendly and made sure we were well taken care of as we spent a LOT of time at the beautiful pools and beach. There was a great selection of meal options at all the different restaurants and kids menus available at each as well. I cant speak highly enough about the service the entire crew went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible :))We loved the activity crew and all the fun activities they had planned each day! Natalia, Brisa, and David were so much fun and made you feel like part of the family :)) My 10 year old said the resort activities were her favorite part of our whole trip! We stayed 7 nights and never got bored!I would definitely recommend this resort to any family looking for a relaxing, beautiful Mexican all-inclusive with fun for all ages. We will most certainly be returning in the future!

"Should you go to Villa del Palmar? Yeah!"

The first thing that comes to mind when I look back on my stay at the Villa del Palmer are the experienced, knowledgeable and kind wait staff at the restaurants, especially the excellent senior waiter Armando at Legends Bar. He and his colleagues made the stay at Villa del Palmar very relaxing and hospitable. We also highly enjoyed the steakhouse, Davino's, and Zama restaurants, all located on the resort. Waiters and the kitchen work very quickly and tirelessly to accurately take your order, including any amount of alterations or clarifications, and always bring it to you remarkably quickly. The food at the resort conveys the soul of Mexico perfectly. The menu is locally sourced, high protein, farm fresh fare. The restaurants carry a good variety of fresh Mexican beers as well as both local and imported wines and champagnes. The resort is extremely clean and well maintained. The grass and bushes are perfectly manicured and the fire pits are fun to sit around at night. Another place to catch the sunset are the top floors of both Palmar and the adjoining Gazebo where there are fun lounges with entertainment options. We were always on the beach and suffered no jellyfish or mosquitoes, which is a huge plus and made the stay worry-free. The spa is exceptional and you should book a sauna, jacuzzi and 50 minute massage while you are here to make the most of your stay. Most rooms get spa credit, so use it! Watch out for Fernando at the front desk, though, who will try to funnel your room's resort credit to whatever local criminal Mafia group that came up with the idea to scalp the hotel's visitors and whatnot. He is definitely a wily one, that Fernando. I'm sure he didn't come up with the idea so I can't be too mad at him, in fact, I respect the hustle. Other than for the wily Fernando and his billing schemes, checking in and out was very easy and the concierge was excellent. The rooms are very, very comfortable and you can direct the maid to stock it with specific preferred drinks or beers of your choice. There is unlimited Wi-fi for all-inclusive guests, sadly next to your pillow in every room, in working order and very convenient. Overall there were no negative experiences and the amenities included everything that anyone could ever wish for to have a relaxing, all-inclusive, health-restoring getaway.

"All-Inclusive or Not for Meals? Go All-Inclusive!"

If you plan to relax and dine at the resort rather than go off property, into Cancun, or elsewhere etc. daily, the all-inclusive option is definitely worth it and the way to go. The prices at the resort restaurants are so high (over-priced actually), you'd be hard-pressed to find items on the menu for each meal that would add up to a daily total less than the all-inclusive price. For example, two steak dinner entrees (medium-ranged, not the highest price on the menu), an appetizer, one salad, one soup, one dessert, two drinks came to $340 USD. Our very light lunch with beverages was $80 USD. Our breakfast that morning was the buffet ($45/person USD) which is the only option for breakfast at the resort. Grand total for the day was $510. We'd purchased the all-inclusive in advance because I'd read reviews that it was nice not having to worry about prices or carry your wallet - but read nothing about it being cheaper. It definitely is cheaper as well as convenient.

"Family fun!"

Great vacation. Service was excellent! We stayed in a 4 bedroom oceanfront loft; room and room service was amazing! We were disappointed that the hot tub was not hot and we had to call a few times. Noe at the pool area on the Villa side, Fermin the bell boy, the beach servers at the food truck all amazing! Sorry we dont have the name of the server at zuma (Enc.?? Our photo does not show the name clear) but he has a child with allergies and was spectacular serving us as we had a member with gluten and dairy allergies! The ability to use both resorts provided a nice variety of activities and different vibes. Thank you to all the great people working the resort.

"The only place we will stay at in Cancun! Highly recommend "

This was our second time going to Villa Del Palmar. First time was our honeymoon, and second time, we wanted to return because we had such an amazing trip on our honeymoon. Staff to recognize: Older Miguel at the pool bar. Miguel made our trip the first time and we were so happy he was there again for our second trip. He knows how to make any drink you want, and he will go out of your way to take care of you. Both trips, Miguel went above and beyond. We want to come back just for Miguel (and other reasons)Adrian at the tiki bar by the ocean was amazing as well. We could spend all day at the tiki bar swings. Extremely friendly and can make any drink you want. Cesar at Caprichos for breakfast was our go to server. He was great! Amazing service and we had some Spanish lessons in the mornings.Italian and Steak house were the best dinners we had. Make those reservations a few days before you want to go so you can make sure and get in! Everyone at this resort goes out of their way to take care of the guests. The only downside I would say is they moved our favorite japenese restaurant to their sister property next door. For couples or families, I would recommend this place. Very quiet, but has many fun things to do during the day. The ferry is a 1 minute walk close by to go to Isla Mujeres which I would highly recommend. You can rent a golf cart over there for $70 for the day and explore the whole island. Great beaches, food, and drinks over there. We cant wait to go back!

"Best family vacation ever!!! "

VDP never disappoints! We spent 5 nights in a 1 bedroom suite with our two kids and my sister stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom loft suite. The service was the best weve ever experienced at any AI resort. The kindness of the staff and the quality of both the food and beverages are what makes return year after year. The newly updated rooms were calm and serene. All the meals, with the exception of Legends, were out of this world. We spent time on the beach and our server Benjamin spoiled us rotten. We also spent time at the bridge pool with Wilbert. He gave us extra special little touches to our drinks and food that made us feel special. Adrian at the beach bar is always a familiar favorite of ours. He makes the BEST fresh fruit cocktails and always has a smile and a joke. Benjamin (Benji) the pool/beach concierge was super helpful and hooked us up with some Bali beds on the beach. Jorge and Oswaldo took care of us at breakfast. The kids staff had fun games for them to play. We will absolutely be backagain.

"Home away from Home!"

Our home away from home! We stayed in a one bedroom this year, and it was perfect. We had an adult daughter join us with her BFF for a few nights and they said the pullout couch was pretty darn comfortable too. Our bed and pillows were wonderful as usual!The heated elite infinity pool is amazing and shout out to the BEST pool concierges in our travels...Carlos and Kevin are SO attentive and make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. They make sure that each and every one of us at this pool are made to feel this way no matter how busy they are!! Even when the sun moves in the afternoon, they made sure our chairs were set up and ready for us at the adult pool for the remainder of the afternoons if we wanted to move!! WOWOur favorite server was Armando, so friendly and personable! Even when he shifted to the beach, he still was looking for us and making sure we were having a great day!This stay, our resort concierge was Adriana and we kept her busy! She was a blessing when it came to helping with any dinner arrangements...even last minute when we changed our minds a few times. She would reach out to us if she hadn't heard from us to make sure we had everything we needed! Alejandra did a nice job assisting when Adriana had a day off.We typically enjoy preparing most of our own meals, but we do enjoy indulging in dinners and cocktails before bed a handful of nights each trip. The food and staff were "mostly" all wonderful. Had a couple misses with a few meals (overdone on both occasions), but staff always want to make it better. Lots of options and we've had SO MANY awesome meals over the years at VDP Cancun.Shoutout here to all the gang at the Legend's bars...we had so much fun!We usually have few to no issues during our visits here, but when help is needed, we reach out to our concierge, and they know exactly how to help!See you next year family...we can't wait!Mr. Jeffrey and Sarah

Garza Blanca was the host for our wedding on Nov 2021, ever since us and all of our family and friends love this hotel. We visited last month Nov 23 for our anniversary, the hotel was gorgeous, the service is exceptional, the food is 5/5 as well as the cocktails. Even tho, that weekend was full of weddings, you dont feel that is too crowded unlike other resorts. It features high technology, which we love, its modern, aesthetically appealing and clean all the time. We love it and recommend 100%

I've been to several resorts in Cancun since 2003, and this resort is the best by far! The hotel is very clean, lots of pools, food is fine-dining quality, and rooms are beautiful with a gorgeous balcony/view! Usually, I'm ready to go home after a vacation, but I never want to leave Garza Blanca. I loved it so much I bought a timeshare and plan to go back every year! I went with 6 family members, and they ALL raved about this resort. We went to Isla Mujeres twice during our 7-day stay via a ferry about 10-minute walk from the resort, rented golf carts and toured the island. The rest of our stay, we hung around the resort enjoying the beach/pools.

"Pretty great place and great experience but with room to improve "

Beautiful resort and great service all along the way. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time though because the restaurants will fill up, especially with the times you may like. Hiroshi is the best restaurant, Doa was very good. Bocados wasnt great. Davino at the affiliated resort next door was awesome. Drinks were pretty good overall, but inconsistent from bar to bar. And they sometimes ask for your room number and you sometimes have to sign a receipt which gets really old. The snack and drink service in the rooms were spotty at best. Carlos at The Gourmet Hall for breakfast was awesome. The dinner at the Gourmet Hall was not good. Avoid it. Daisy was our maid and she is amazing. The kids club staff was amazing too and our kids were constantly asking to go back there. A wonderful time for our party.

The resort and rooms are absolutely beautiful we loved everything about it. The service was excellent. Food was amazing! Definitely recommend the steak house or Japanese! Our butlers Enrique and fernando were amazing any time we needed something they got it done. No requests was to big for them. They know how to treat customers well. Every day we got a goodmorning text letting us know they are at the resort and to ask for anything we need. They would check up through the day or come find us by the pool to make sure we are doing good. They also made our anniversary very special thanks to them we felt welcomed at the property. They were 10/10 . The whole staff around the resort was amazing as well from maid service,room service, waiters at the pool bar to Daniel who made sure we always had a place to sit at the pool. They took care of the kids just as much as the adults no matter how many times they asked for a drink or food. The only thing we did not like was the residential tour/meeting. The staff was nice but it took away over 3 hours of hour last day there to convince us to buy some property. They said it was not a time share but the meeting it self felt like one. Avoid if possible. Other than that I would definitely recommend this resort.

The Japanese restaurants was our favorite and the sushi was some of the best Ive ever had. We are particular about customer service and they never missed a beat. We were assigned 2 private butlers, Enrique and Fernando and them alone made this trip one of the best weve ever had. Also some recognition to the excellent customer service, professionalism and kindness to Adrian and Ana at the adults only roof top pool area and bar.

Arturo, the manager at Carbon was so welcoming! We didnt have reservations but he figured out a way for us to get a table and had great service! We had a server but he was always checking on us to make sure we were having a great dinner. Bonus, the food was fantastic!

We just returned from a week long stay. We were put in a newly renovated room. They are so beautiful. What a happy surprise. We went for our anniversary and Antonio at the pool/beach went above and beyond to make it special. The restaurants were amazing. I think we liked Hiroshi the best.

"Our amazing stay at Villa Del Palmar"

We loved everything about Villa Del Palmar. The staff was amazing. The hotel was beautiful. The pools were amazing. The food was amazing. My wife and I loved our stay. We really loved Davinos Italian restaurant the most, followed by Zuma. The food at both were stellar.We also loved how the resort was in Punta Sam away from hotel zone and how the ferry to Isla Mujeres was at the resort. It made our trip to Isla Mujeres very easy. We loved being here so much we rebooked, this time at the sister resort, Garza Blanca. One thing I've read in previous reviews is how the service doesn't become that great if you don't tip. What I will say is, if you can afford a vacation, you can affording a couple bucks here and there. We left the room attendants $5 every day, gave the people at the pool about $20 per day, and we were treated extremely well. Tipping even just a little bit can go a long way making your stay that much more enjoyable.

"Exquisite butler service"

This was the single greatest vacation we have ever been on.the room was beautiful, the resort was pristine, every restaurant we ate at was top notch, and the activities kept us having fun. The biggest plus of the trip though was our butler service. Isaac and Leonardo made our trip next level with their attentiveness, knowledge, and creativity. From great recommendations, to setting up all of our reservations so we didnt have to figure it out, to creating romantic surprises for my wife and I when we would arrive to to the room, (rose petals in drawn baths for us, etc.) we could not ask for a better experience!!!!

"Best resort in Mexico - high end all the way!"

I went to Garza Blanca this past October (low season) and it was wonderful. I'll outline the great things by category:Weather - October is a gamble (hurricane season) but we had great, HOT weather but there was a great breeze. We had one 2 hour rain storm, but we just stayed in the pool and our waiter still served us drinks.Room - very clean and well equipped with L'Occtaine products. Beds were super comfortable and you can swap your pillows if you need something different. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms but very good AC. Room was cleaned daily and they left cute towel animals for us. Only complaint was the constant ask for enough bottled water, they seem stingy on stocking it, and we had to ask for it a lot with some resistance. Just weird! Our butler took care of it thoughPools - so many pools! plenty of place to spread out and in October, it was quiet, so no trouble finding plenty of chairs. They have the bigger pool by the beach with the pool bar, volleyball and aqua aerobics. The more active people hung out there. Then they had a middle infinity pool (chairs on one side), quieter and mosty adults. Then hammock pool (hammocks over ankle deep water next to a small pool (kids hung out here) but hammocks always available), and a big hot tub. Then two good sized pools that our butler told us is where kids mostly hang out. Bar on the pool deck between pools if you want to hang out. Plenty of shade and plenty of sun for everyone's needs.Pool wait service - They have waiters who will get you anything and everything (food, drinks, shots, bucket for your waters). Jesus was absolutely amazing and as mentioned, even took care of us in the rain. By day two we didn't need to ask for water, he saw us and came right over with a bucket full. Be sure to bring tip money, these guys work their butt off. Butler Service - We had Yuri & Fernando who were the best. We didn't have that many requests but they will make anything happen. They would find us daily at the pool just to check in on how things were going, how our room was, if we needed reservations (i made all mine in advance). They helped with our bottle water situation and Yuri even decorated our room for my friends birthday at my request. The night of my friends birthday she knew where our reservation was and came to make sure we had the best service and to say happy birthday. Beyond their duties, they were just amazing and fun people. They made us feel like family and we were sad to have to leave. Yuri was on duty the say we left and it was big hugs all around. We will definitely request them again next time!Restaurants - There wasn't any bad food at this resort. The restaurants are not your typical all inclusive, they are gourmet, high end restaurants. We did all inclusive so did not hold back on ordering all of our appetizers, entree's and then a dessert or two to share around. We did eat twice at the sister resort (Villa del Palmar) their restaurants are equally as good. The breakfast buffet has everything you could ever want and more - even iced coffee (not easy to come by in Mexico). We ate at Dao, Davinos, Bocados, Zama. We did lunch by the pool daily and breakfast buffet daily. Beach - they have a cute beach restaurant with a great vibe. The sand is soft white and fine sand but there is a coral ledge right at the waters edge, can't see it so step carefully or even wear water shoes. October the water was rough, but I've been there in January when it is calm. Little bit of seaweed but they clean it up daily. In October the water is very warm so we stayed at the pool. But the floating obstacle course was fun. Property -Lots of cute little shops, a small grocery type store at the sister resort and a fun free carousel (kind of random, but pretty and a fun activity that we did one night).The hotel is very clean and glamourous. The lobby bar is great, good drinks and coffee and pastries in the morning. they keep the hotel very clean and it smells wonderful. The rooftop has an adults only pool which we didn't go to. It was very hot on the roof and the seating was more limited. We just loved our spot at the mid pool. At night they had small bands or karaoke and the bar was always open to hang out at surrounded by seating and couches. This resort doesn't have a ton of entertainment or big shows like other mexican resorts and it is off the hotel zone, so much quieter. there are no restaurants within walking distance but believe me, you want to eat on site, its so good! I do recommend the all inclusive even if you only have a few pool side drinks and a couple at dinner. The food is so high end you'll want to get an extra dish or two and dessert and its nice to not have to worry about it. My friends and I drank quite a bit at the pool and a couple at dinner and I tallied what our bill would have been if we didn't do AI - $285/day. AI is only $155 so its well worth it! At this resort, 24 hour room service and stocked room are included! Looking at this resort? don't hesitate and ask for Yuri and Fernando as your butlers and find Jesus at the pool!

"New, Clean, Luxurious "

We had some hesitancy with choosing an unfamiliar resort, but we are extremely happy with our choice of Garza Blanca. Amazing service, clean property, and a brand-new feeling. Special thanks to Enrique and Fernando for making our experience so intimate and helping out with a proposal. They were spot on the entire stay and really made us feel special. Admittedly, we were too tired to eat at the majority of the restaurants on property, but Hiroshi and Mao were spectacular. Room service food is as expected (average), I would avoid unless you are unable to leave your room :)

"Garza Blanca - Wonderful stay made exceptional by staff!"

Our stay at Garza Blanca was great! This was due to in large part by the staff that continue to make the resort experience wonderful. We had a few issues as we were there with a large party, pre-paid amenities were randomly assigned to guest rooms and then later ended up on our folio, despite being pre-paid. However, Vanessa and Rafael at the front desk were outstanding at helping us resolve these issues and ensured we were billed correctly.Overall the dining service was fantastic - They recommend you make reservations, however depending on hotel occupancy, it can be challenging to get a reservation, we found that due to low occupancy, if we couldn't get a reservation at the time we requested, we would just show up and wait, often being seated within 5-10 minutes; guests tend to have a lot of no shows to dinner.As mentioned before the staff really make this resort special. A few in particular stand out:At DAO (Chinese restaurant) the food was phenomenal! A true winner amongst the other options, Pedro who was our waiter a few times helped select the best options for the group and even highlighted a few celebrations we had. His attention to detail and presentation of items made the dining experience fantastic!The Gourmet Hall is a great place for breakfast, it's simple, with a ton of options and self-service / buffet style so is a quick place to grab food each day before activities. Cristina and Susanna were there to greet us each morning and remembered us along with our events, and checked in each day to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Their warm personalities made it a great start to each day.While waiting for dinner one evening we stopped by the bar between Blanca Blue and Davino - there we met a bartender named Miguel who was an absolute pleasure to chat with. He helped with drink selections and created a few specialty cocktails that our group enjoyed.Of all the fantastic experiences supported by the wonderful staff at Garza Blanca, our butlers stood out the most. We had the pleasure of meeting Fernando and Enrique who were exceedingly attentive and helpful throughout our visit. Enrique in particular continuously went out of his way to make our trip special and on the evening of our main event decorated our room in a way that made it remarkably special. Seriously - Enrique is fantastic and has such a warm and friendly demeanor that enhanced our experience significantly.A few notes for the resort: Your staff make the stay special, each of them were great to work with and patient. A few items that the resort needs to work on:- Check-in is a lengthy process that feels chaotic and less organized than it should be.- All inclusive is great and preferred however, each interaction requires a bill to be signed and detracts from the experience. It's a great avenue to provide additional thanks to the staff in the form of gratuity (Tip the staff, they work hard and deserve the appreciation!) but I would expect most visitors to tip regardless of receiving a bill for each interaction.- Billing on the folio is a bit confusing, make sure you are billed accurately as we found some issues on ours. (Again, solved promptly and professionally by Vanessa and Rafael).Overall, this is a resort we've continued to return to. The people that we meet are always warm, pleasant and make the stay exceptional. Thank you Garza Blanca!

The service, pools, rooms, everything at the resort was impeccable. Each restaurant had delicious food. Definitely not your typical all inclusive experience.

"Decent Stay, Great Staff but a few issues"

A great hotel with an extensive range of pools and some decent restaurants as well. Our stay was a little marred by the fact that that the main pool was out of use for 5 of the 7 days we stayed and we weren't told before hand by any staff either. Worth noting that there is also loud construction by the poolside as they are building a whole new additional block to the existing hotel which is going to be an exclusive adults only hotel. Again, we weren't aware of this until we went to use the pool on the first day. The main other negative point would be that we were without running hot water in the hotel room for a day and half. It was communicated on the day that we would be without water for one hour but that lasted until the next day and even then, the water in the room and whole hotel was filthy from the taps, see photo I have included in this review.As such, we were unable to bath ourselves and our 6 month old baby for a day and a half, not ideal at all when paying for an all inclusive stay.During check-in, we weren't given a proper guide as to where we could get food and where the restaurants were, expecially as we were all inclusive guests. It wasn't all bad however, the food at the asian restaurants were great, service from most staff was also at a top level and in particular Dani and Alicia at guest services did an amazing job and made our stay so much more special. Our butlers Leo and Santa Maria also made sure we were looked after throughout or stay and Ruben the baggage handler ensured our check-in and check-out was very seamless.

"Five Star Five Diamond "

We just had the pleasure of spending eight days at the Garza Blanca Cancun in September.What a fabulous hotel! The rooms were spotless and well appointed with a balcony hammock, double sliding glass door, and motorized sheers and black-out curtains. The bathroom has double sinks, soaking tub, rain shower head and a heated toilet/bidet seat.The food was great but what really stood out was the wonderful staff. These folks work VERY hard at making sure you are well taken care of and all of your needs are met. The rooftop adults only poolside service is second to none! Bringing by cold, wet towels and snacks was a treat! Thank you all!There were plenty of special touches like Alexis loading our room fridge with my favorite beers and always keeping the snack drawer stocked.A shout out to our night and day butlers - Andres and JosueRooftop servers Moises,Both Hectors, Benjamin and Jesus the mixologist.Gustavo our server at DaoAnd his helper GustavoServers Fernando and MiguelIn the gourmet HallOsvaldo serverEnrique serverBeach activity attendance Jorge and AmairanyJ. Carlos Bell/valetOur only hiccup was the one hour hot water shut down, that turned into 7 hours (had to go next door to Villa del Palmar to shower) and we were late for our dinner reservation.And the furloughing? of our favorite rooftop bar server/manager AaronOverall it was an amazing experience and we can't wait to go back!

"Heaven on earth!"

Weve stayed at Garza Blanca three times in the last 18-months. We LOVE this resort! From the high quality bedding, waterfall shower, large tub, soft robes, hammock on your private patio, heated toilet seats in every bathroom, gourmet food everywhere, rooftop pool, AND amazing staff! Each guest has a butler and they ensure you have everything you need from the time you arrive until you checkout. Our butler is always Gabrielle! He is the BEST! He ensures our favorite drinks are stocked in our fridge, makes all our dinner reservations, schedules transportation and excursions, and so much more! He isnt just our butler, but our friend, our family! If youre looking for a heavenly experience that seems too good to be true, go to Garza Blanca! You wont be disappointed! It is our little piece of heaven on earth! Lastly, take advantage of the 10 minute poolside massages for only $20! Highly recommend! Also purchase the all-inclusive meal/drink package, its worth it! Top shelf liquors and 5-star restaurants onsite!

"The quintessential Cancn Experience"

My wife and I are Elite Members with Tafer and this is our home resort. We love Garza Blanca Cancn. The staff makes you feel like family the moment you step out of your airport transportation. The room are exquisite, the service is second to none in my opinion. As Elite members we get access to butler service during our stays. Fransisco and Octavio were magnificent!!! Fantastíco! We gave them plenty to do and they succeeded in usually outdoing themselves and going above and beyond! Couldnt have asked for a better team to take care of us. The grounds are immaculate. I love waking up and having coffee on my balcony to the soothing spa music they play in the morning and watching the landscaping staff work their magic! The pool staff are more than accommodating in making sure you get the spot you want and the number of lounges you need for your group. The pool waiters are always fantastic. Some better than others! My wife and I have our favorite we try to get! Abraham and Jesus are two of them who always provide great service and remember us!

"Hard to come back to real life after being here. "

this place is absolutely beautiful. Our Butler, Leo, and Isaac were absolutely amazing. Definitely made anything we could imagine come true. Also Leonardo a waiter on the beach was also amazing. The only complaint that I could honestly have would be from one Butler who was working on a night an hour to Butler were off name Enrique. He was absolutely horrible. Hard to work with, and playing out, and honestly was rude. Very glad we only had to handle him for a few hours before we went to bed. Highly recommend coming here and when you do absolutely request Leo and Isaac as your Butler's. Thank you both for an unforgettable time. if you choose restaurants to eat from, I would highly recommend the Chinese on the rooftop. And ask for Hector to be your waiter. He also went above and beyond, and had some of the best recommendations on what to eat, and the food was out of this world!!!

"Excellent service at VDP Cancun"

Transportation (5 out of 5): Booked through USA Transfers and like always they were very prompt and quick to the resort. Travel to and from the resort took less than 30 minutes each way. Check In/Out (5 out of 5): Got to resort at 2:00 pm and walked straight up to someone to check us in and had champagne and a cold towel waiting for us. Room wasnt going to be ready for 30 minutes, so we grabbed a late lunch at Zama. Worked perfectly for post travel from the states. Room was ready when we went back at 3 and bags were delivered 5 minutes after we got to the room. Check out took 5 minutes. No surprises with bill at check out.Room (4.5 out of 5): Genuinely one of the best AI resort rooms weve stayed in. We were in a 1-bedroom superior ocean view. Room 2707A. Recently remodeled and immaculately clean. So much room for our small family of 3. Son slept on the pull-out bed and had his own full bathroom near the kitchen. Didnt utilize the full kitchen but did notice that it had everything youd need if you were not on AI and planned to prepare meals yourself. point deducted because the AC in the bedroom never got below 74 degrees. Wasnt hot, but I like to sleep with it colder at night. Wasnt a huge issue, and we didnt feel like we needed to report it.Resort Grounds (5 out of 5): We just loved how small and beautiful the main grounds were. Everything was extremely well kept, and easy to navigate. Pools (4.5 out of 5): Perfect for the wife and me but could have used a few more things for our 10-year-old son to do. We had hoped hed aged out of the need for water slides, but some bad weather luck had us wishing they had a few. He was content for most of the days, but with yellow flags on the beach (no access to the water sports like kayaking) he tended to get bored towards the end of the days. Really wouldnt have been an issue if he was able to take advantage of the kayaks, float course in the ocean, etc. Beach (4 out of 5): While there was some sargassum it wasnt overwhelming, and the staff worked very hard to clear it up. Water is not the crystal blue youll find in the resort zone but was still fine for swimming. If youre straight up beach people, this might be a resort youd need to do some more research on. Nothing the resort could do about the wind, but we were bummed we didnt have access to the kayaks and floating obstacle course for most of our trip. Service (5 out of 5): The highlight of the trip for us. We are experienced with Cancun AI resorts (Karisma, Barcelo, Dreams, Riu etc). This was by far the most attentive and accommodating service we have ever had. Antonio at the main pool made our days as perfect as they could have been. Quick to set up chairs with shade for us. Never had to get up for a towel the entire 5 days. Others Id like to shoutout are Jose our pool waiter most days, Antonio at Davino, and both bartenders at the Zak bar. I wish I had taken down more names, we were made to feel like royalty the entire week.Food (4.5 out of 5): One of the better food resorts in Cancun that weve visited. Only one off the top of my head I would compare to it is Casitas. Extremely satisfied with each meal.

The resort is absolutely beautiful, rooms are astonishing, more than I expected. my bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! It was cleaned and restocked daily. No troubles there. The breakfast buffet was eh, but all of the other restaurants were great. The bartenders at the lobby bar were phenomenal. I feel like we made new friends!! Treated us like they knew us their whole lives. Blatimir and Tonatiuh, wonderful wonderful people. I took off one star because the staff are pushy for tips, (not the ones mentioned above), even tho gratuity is included in the all inclusive. We obviously tipped extra but when I handed a server a $20 bill he said thats not enough. Excuse me? There were tip baskets at the breakfast buffet. One employee that delivered room service and added a tip the self, we found that out when we checked out. Just a bit of a turn off right from the get go. Check in takes a long time, but they give you your wristbands to you can still have drinks and food while you wait for your room if youre early. Come with everything you need because buying sunscreen and aloe at the gift shop is astronomical, but thats any resort. All in all a good trip but I wouldnt choose this resort again.

"Main Pool with Eric"

Eric served us at the main pool for 3 days. He is extremely kind and attentive. Look for Eric during your stay at Villa Del Palmar Cancun. He will take great care of your group. Eric will provide a great experience.

"1st Year Wedding Anniversary"

My wife Kara and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary at Garza Blanca Cancun.This resort is stunning and even better than expected! Rewind almost 4 years ago, when we originally purchased our membership, when the hotel was half built. They described the most modern, beautiful, functional resortTHEY Delivered on those promise, with exceptional service. We have stayed all over Cancun and eaten many places Garza Blancas food and atmosphere is truly the best, quality, and comfort!They now have full time concierge butlers, that will do anything to ensure that you have the most amazing stay, along with set you up, with any and all adventures all over Cancun. We had 2 gentlemen Fransisco and Tavo (Octavio) so attentive and thorough, which has enhanced our enjoyment and experience. We even had some confusion about how many days we had prepaid for All-inclusive, and they naturally and without hesitation chose the least expensive way, for us to have all the food we could eat and only pay for breakfast the morning we checked out, which was far less then had we added an extra day of All inclusive. We met several families and couples, everyone agrees that the service is unmatched! We encourage anyone and everyone to visit, and join the membership program. You will be happy for so many years to come! Another amazing experience Well Done! God Bless!

Also a big shoutout to the whole Kids Club staff for welcoming my daughter and making her experience there extra special! Despite of great overall service, we had few hiccups during our stay. We had a water issue in our suite. Stain colored water was coming out from our faucets. One of their main pools was also closed for maintenance. Lastly, Dao was closed without notifying us even we had a confirmed reservation. Not a perfect stay but the lovely hotel staff make up for it.

This was my first time traveling internationally with my baby- needless to say I was a bit nervous about the accommodations they would have for my baby in another country. Upon our arrival, I met Francisco and he went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed! Including a crib, bottle sterilizer, bottle warmer, and almond milk to accommodate my babys milk protein allergy. Octavio was equally as accommodating and made our stay feel comfortable and lessened so much of my anxiety I had traveling with my baby. Both of them are extremely fluent in English which is also extremely helpful, as I dont speak any Spanish. I would like to thank both of them for their outstanding service and meeting all of our needs. We will definitely be back to visit again.

My husband and I just returned from a 5 day couples trip to the Garza Blanca Cancun property. Weve been staying at Garza resorts for 10 years and Enrique and Candido provided superior service reminiscent of our original stays with the GOAT Jose Valenzo at Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta. The team of Enrique and Candido ensured that our partys stay was worry and stress free even when we were off property, on an island! Though everything about the stay was wonderful this team is what made it spectacular. If you want beauty, luxury, and pampering with a team of professionals ready to make sure stay a time to remember look no further then this resort.

Had our first family trip to celebrate my birthday. We had the best butlers you can ask for (Santa Maria and Leonardo!) Because of their excellent customer service it made our trip amazing. They checked on us throughout the day, helped with reservations, answering questions, even blowing up my daughters floatie for the pool! They made sure we had everything we needed and were well taken cared of from the moment we walked in and the moment we left. They even planned a sweet surprise in our room on my actual birthday with cake, decor and balloons. You cant go wrong with staying here. Resort is beautiful and clean, very well kept, great restaurants on site with delicious food. Check out Dao and ask to sit at Gustavos table, hes a great server and the food was so delicious we ate there twice in a row. Chef even came out to greet us during our dinner. We look forward to coming back again cause we know its guaranteed a good time and great customer service.

Always smiling and ready with a special drink to quench your thirst. Also had great service from Pedro and Andres during the breakfast buffet. Super efficient and helpful in explaining the local cuisine. Early September is a great time to visit - still plenty warm and the crowds are gone.

"Outstanding stay except ceiling water and butler"

Seventh visit to VDP, and was super excited to bring along 5 other 'newbie' couples! Service from wait staff at bars, pools, restaurants was outstanding! No problems with finding chairs at pool. Entertainment was great! We spent more to upgrade one (of our three) rooms to a 3 bed penthouse which included a butler. We've had butlers before (Rafael in 2021) and he was outstanding, so my hopes were high to have that same level of service...unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Our butler was pretty much nonexistent and did not impress. In fact we ran into Rafael several times on the resort and he provided better service even though he wasn't assigned to us. Biggest issue was our (upgraded ) penthouse room had major ceiling leaking issues...water dripping all over the kitchen island two of four night, and the real kicker was water pouring out of the entryway ceiling with at least four buckets of water on our last day. Called maintenance each time, and they did come and fix the issue, except last day. Our butler arrived to check us out, saw the downpour and said 'what did you do?' We were still waiting for maintenance at the time. Had I not asked for some refund/etc. the butler wasn't going to offer anything up for the room conditions. Even then, he only comped one of our lobster upgrades ($100). I will go back, but I will be requesting a different butler!

"Lived up to my expectations. "

The Garza Blanca Hotel is a high end hotel with a number of amenities. I stayed in a one bedroom 2 bath room with a kitchen and laundry/dryer unit. I personally did not use the kitchen because I was on vacation and thats the last thing I wanted to do. Also, why would you want to cook when you can pay for the all inclusive. And this is a superb cuisine! It had everything that I loved: ceviche, duck tacos, a number of fresh fish but all cooked by top chefs! My daughter and I also enjoyed their beach, which includes a bouncy house in the water, plus kayaks and paddle boards. When you stay at the Garza Blanca you also have access to their sister hotel and you can go to their pools (which we actually preferred) and eat at their restaurants. I could go on but it really is one of the best hotels Ive stayed at. I want to thank Alexa and Salvador for helping me with my WiFi and my transportation (they were the butlers assigned to me). Very lovely people, the staff is all around very friendly and welcoming. One thing that I did not like was that after each meal (even though everything was all inclusive) guests still have to sign a receipt of what they ordered. I dont like it because its time consuming and intrusive. Also, I think the kids club should be moved to the ground floor and have more aquatic activities. Other than that I loved my stay there and recommend to all!

Our butlers Leo, Santamaria and Candido were the best. They made sure that we were aware of activities at the resort, confirmed the time for our return-to-airport shuttle (they actually had to contact the shuttle company because we had moved hotels; so they made sure our pickup was at Garza Blanca). And at the end of our trip, just after the Aventour driver dropped us off the airport, my son realized he had left his eyeglasses in the car. I quickly sent a WhatsApp message to Leo/Santamaria/Candido, and they had managed to contact the Aventour driver to turn around and drive back to the airport. They were so fast and helpful, I am so grateful. I am also very thankful to the Aventour driver!

"A week of relaxation and service that went above and beyond"

1 bedroom suite was spotless and comfortable. Staff went over the top to provide excellent service. Food and beverages are excellent. We stayed at the resort 7 days, leaving only to attend church services Sunday morning. Uber was not available at the resort, but staff arranged for taxi transport.

"Excellent service"

We (a family of 4) stayed in this resort for a week. The service provided by the staff were excellent through out the stay. Everyone was eager to provide a great service. Especially two of them stood out - Amalyur at the poolside treated us really well bringing us good drink and food. Gustavo in DAO provided us out of the world service. The first time we visited the restaurant we loved the food and the service. The second time we specifically asked for Gustavo who provided us great service again. This time to top it he made a dessert right at our table. Great food and service at this restaurantOverall a pleasant stay and great service at this resort

"Luxury accommodations with world class service and"

We had a fantastic experience at Garza Blanca. We were here celebrating my daughters graduation. The resort itself is simply beautiful and the food was amazing. But what sets this resort apart is the fantastic service you receive from every member of the staff. Each person we encountered (our butlers Fernando and Enrique, our pool server Leonardo, our turndown service Victor Alfonso and our housekeeper Nayeli, and too many other people to mention) went above and beyond to provide excellent service. We will be back and will bring friends!

"Great service and a fabulous resort !"

What a resort ! An army of people are working at this hotel to make this a beautiful holiday experience. Our stay was excellent because of all the hard working people there. Everyone was kind to us, helpful and most important, down to earth with a great service. There are a few things that could be improved like entertainment at the resort is almost nill. Food in the break fast buffet also gets boring if you are staying for more than a few days. However, their impeccable service, brand new sparkling property will compensate for that. This is our 4th time to Cancun and Garza Blanca beats rest of our stays !

"Another Amazing Family Vacation"

Another amazing family stay with Garza Blanca Cancun! The luxurious accommodations and excellent customer service from the staff are simply unmatched. Leonardo, Santamaria and Candido provided stellar butler service the duration of our week long stay! The butler staff is absolutely amazing and made our trip extra special.Moses provided exceptional service at the pool consistently! He truly exemplifies customer service. Moses made sure my family was always taken care of by preparing our longe chairs and ensuring the umbrellas always shielded the sun. Oscar kept our drinks and lunch flowing and always offered friendly banter. Hiroshi and Dao were our favorite restaurants for dinner. Hector provided amazing service at Hiroshi. Hector's attention to detail was spectacular! My daughters loved having their name spelling out on the their mocktail pineapple garnish! Such a sweet and personable gesture!Lastly, my kids really enjoyed the kids club this time. It has improved since our last visit and the hours are awesome. 9AM - 10PM! Wow! The kids were able to enjoy dinners at the kids club, while my husband and I enjoyed a nice dinner together. We look forward to returning next year!

"Everything was truly 5 Diamond"

This was our 3rd time staying in Mexico which we always loved but our 1st time staying at Garza Blanca Cancun as an owner , and the minute you check in you can tell the difference in quality, service , and professionalism you receive staying here compared to other places weve stayed at , its just a whole vibe from the delicious food not just at each of their 5 restaurants but even the food from the pool side snack bar omg , the service from the front desk to pool side (Patricia and Amaury) to our butler team of SantaMaria ,Leo, and Candido, Jordi from turndown staff and the rest of the House keeping staff and on and on I can go were all exceptional and added to the experience. I recently had surgery on my Achilles tendon (leg) and my knee scooter wheels had loosened, SantaMaria and Maintenance came to my room and tightened it all up for me , fixed me right up like a nascar crew and I was good to go , the staff here truly goAbove and beyond , the pools were heated with plenty of chairs , never too crowded especially the beach area which was awesome , even the heated toilet seats with Bidets in the room and around the property were amazing lol We cant wait for our next vacation here

This was a wonderful vacation. We are members and it was the first time we took advantage of the trip. We had a fantastic experience despite me being 6 months pregnant. They made all of us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend Caprichos for breakfast and ask for Cristo. He was charismatic, welcoming and made us feel like we were his family! Also Dao was a wonderful restaurant with a great server, Fernando! We loved the pool and the service and the beach was beautiful. All around we loved it!

"Party of 7!"

We traveled as a family of 6 adults and a 10m old baby, and Garza did a great job at accommodating our big party. We secured a 2 room suite with a small outdoor pool - one room for my husband & myself and second for the baby. And my in laws & my parents were directly above us which made things so easily. They had a crib, high chair, changing table/tub in the room for us for our son which was a great touch.The hotel itself is very pretty and modern, not your typical all inclusive resort. We ate at the Mexican restaurant, Japanese restaurant and steak restaurant on property, all very good. Drinks were also pretty given its an all inclusive note that there is some top shelf liquors that are an extra cost.Our butlers Enrique and Fernando were very attentive, casually checking in and even brought us cocktails while we hung in our pool and our baby napped.The only thing to note is the hotel is pretty dead at night. Theres sometimes live music in the lobby but not very lively. The rooftop is also pretty dead. So if youre there to have a good time at night, this may not be a spot unless youre ok going 30 mins into Downtown Cancun. This is DEFINITELY not a party hotel to any extent. Even the pool vibes are very chill. The carousel is a nice touch for people with kids.The beach is a lot more quiet than the pool.

"Amazing stay at Villa Del Palmer"

This was my first trip to cancun and I was initially feeling quite nervous. However, as soon as I got to the resort all of my worries went away. I stayed there for 4 nights and it was a great experience. The staff are amazing! Their attitudes were always great and they were quick to help. The resort itself is clean and the layout is very organized. I found myself enjoying all the different pools as each had its own unique features. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We got a 2 bedroom garden view, but we ended up also having a nice view of the ocean too. All the rooms face inwards. I loved the Legends restaurant, the food and the service was great. The breakfast buffet was also really nice. There is also a ferry right next to the resort that goes to Isla Mujeres, and we found that very convenient. This resort was very welcoming, and is good for families. Overall an amazing experience, and we will definitely be coming back!

"Family Friendly Vacation "

We chose the Villa del Palmar for the variety of room options, and we were quite pleased with the comfort and amenities during our stay for our family of four. The property and room were well maintained, and I appreciate how attentive the service was each day ranging from replenishing to turndown service. The staff were also amazing. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival with refreshing towels. Charly checked us in, and he was wonderful at explaining the process and getting us set up. Elsewhere, we signed up for an activity one day, and Jesus led a marvelous bike ride excursion to a Mayan site mere minutes from the property. I could not believe I had the opportunity to visit such a precious example of history in such proximity. The dining was special. In Zamá, Rembrandt welcomed our first night with great hospitality. In La Casona, Tomás helped make our anniversary dinner a special occasion. And in Davino, Luis and Hugo were excellent hosts our two separate nights we visited. I especially appreciate how Hugo marked our final night with pictures of the family and concluded with a complimentary sparkling dessert (literally). Throughout our dining, I greatly appreciate the warm welcome and attention to detail.Overall, the entire property was well maintained with plenty of pools, optional activities, and beach access. I felt we always had options to do including doing our own thing at our own pace.Lastly, I want to acknowledge that we were offered some additional perks for agreeing to participate in a vacation ownership presentation. We declined, and I greatly appreciate that the staff honored our decision. This was a fantastic visit, and we are all sp thankful for our time there.

"Memorable Vacation "

I planned a vacation with my children, a friend and her two children. Every detail and each person at Garza Blanca made it special and took great care of us. The accommodations are impeccable and the service is so personalized and genuine. In particular, our butler Santamaria was wonderful and scheduling meals, making reservations and advising and researching ways for us to explore Isla Mujeres. As two women traveling with children this made it all so much easier. At the beach activities center Veronica, Yair and a Orlando made sure we could get water activities, or sports equipment with ease and were friendly and helpful. At one point my oldest son needed transport back to the hotel and Anibal in the VIP office quickly helped take care of it and communicated with him to make sure he knew where to go and how safely. I have been a member for about 11 years and it is always wonderful, but this time was the most special with the help we received and the wonderful people we met and us and our children were cared for by. Cant wait to returnSoon.

"Luxurious but not the choice for beach lovers!"

We were blown away by the beautiful resort and pools at Garza Blanca. Everything is in pristine condition, just as gorgeous as the photos! Fancy restaurants, beautifully designed pools, very fast service- it makes for a wonderful vacation. Special mention for the gorgeous carousel, fancy Toto toilets and very fast elevators. Tips: *Book the restaurants ahead. Our butler/mayordomo did not contact us until our third day of the stay, so I was lucky to figure out I could reserve dinner spots for our large group online with just my email. They fill up! *Bring water shoes. The beach is full of plants, some prickly, and slippery boulders. Once you get past them, it is already deep. The ocean is beautiful to look at from the pool, but this is not a great resort for families that love to play in waves or collect seashells. *Resort would be best for kids over age 4, the Kids Club is 4 and up, the beach activities (kayak, water inflatables) for ages 6 and up. The pools work well for babies/toddlers, but there are no changing tables in the restaurant bathrooms and very few kid menu choices. *Not for young people looking for a spring break experience- there is no entertainment at nights and the pools close at 8. There are bars but no live music or DJ, very few people socializing. Resort is too far from the nightclubs to pay for a taxi in our opinion. *If wanting to visit Isla Mujeres, do not book the hotel excursion (overpriced, sketchy transportation), instead take the big yellow cargo boat next door, it is very convenient and has a great passenger lounge with AC

"Garza Blanca Cancun service is fantastic!"

This was our fourth trip to Garza Blanca Cancuuun and was probably our best yet. The property is very nice, well manicured, and the rooftop pool/bar is awesome. The rooms are clean and fresh. However, what stands out is the level of service you get throughout the property. In particular, our butler Enrique was amazingly attentive and was able to solve all of our needs.from getting us a salt shaker, to ensuring reservations for my 60th birthday at Dao (which by the way is the best Asian food we have ever hadthank you Emanuelle)and anything in between. So pleasant and wanting to assist to make our vacation as enjoyable as possible. We also had great service over at the tiki bar at Villa del Palmarmake sure you go there and sit in the swings and enjoy the vibe and a cold beverage. Victor Garcia took care of us each night ensuring we had our turn down service and some nice chocolates before bed. The swim up bar in the main pool is great, and the bartenders were so friendly. Enjoyed several of the daily activities poolside and the gym is clean and has everything you need to get solid workouts in while on vacation. The service has been good on our previous trips as well, but this trip seemed like it was even better. Congrats to everyone there, you are doing a great job delivering the highest level of service to your guests. Cant wait to go back.

"Another trip in the books!"

This was our 3rd trip to the Villa! When we think about trying somewhere new, we are reminded why this is the best in our opinion! The pictures are accurate- it really is that beautiful. We love the lush landscaping and attention to detail.The resort is SO well maintained. Cleaner than any place I have stayed in the US. The staff are 100/10, beyond courteous and kind. The spa is amazing- pricey but quite an experience. I definitely recommend hopping on the cargo ferry next door and spending a day at Isla Mujeres (take a golf cart around the entire island and end your day at Playa Norte). The beach at Villa does have sargassum but the staff do their best to remove it all day long so the trip for crystal clear water is nice!Only downside this trip was the reservation requirements for dinner. This was new since the last time we stayed and I saw a lot of people being turned away for not reserving ahead of time as the pre arrival e-mails recommend. I do not like that the new sister resort next door, Garza Blanca, guests are allowed to dine at Villas restaurants but the same courtesy is not extended vice versa (hence the reservation requirement I am sure). Also the great sushi restaurant Hiroshi (now at Garza) is now an American bar/grill called Legends. I had low expectations for it but it was pretty good and they still had a small selection of sushi on the menu. Overall, we will continue to come back to Villa and sing its praises!

"Awesome bike ride to El Meco Mayan ruins - thanks Jesus!"

Jesus took us on a great bike ride from our hotel to El Meco. He provided water and bikes, and we rode 1.5 miles on sidewalks and back streets to see the Mayan ruins. He walked our group through the ruins and translated into English so our entire family could enjoy. The ride was about 15-20 minutes one way, then we spent about 45 minutes exploring the ruins with Jesus. It was a great trip and I would highly Recommend! Thanks Jesus! Hotel was very nice too! Lots of nice restaurants, great poolside service and fun activities in the pool (beach volleyball, pool water polo). My biggest complaint was Mini bar service. They promise to restock daily all-included, but we got skipped 3 of the last 4 days. That's very frustrating. Thankfully the Front desk concierge and manager made it right and helped us fix it. I would stay at this hotel again for sure!

"Exceptional stay!!!"

This was the absolute best experience. Natalia with activities was wonderful. She was high energy, engaging and just overall so pleasant. I also want to give a shout-out to William who brought us fresh drinks, water, food and whatever we needed always with a smile and just so pleasant! Moses and Benjamin the pool concierges were outstanding and always started our day out right. Just a 5?star experience overall!!!

"We can't wait to go back!"

Our vacation was amazing. We stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed every second. We spent a lot of time at the Elite Pool where Kevin & Carlos took great care of us. Otikio was our Butler and he was amazing. Otikio would find us out on the property just to make sure we were doing good and didn't need anything, he truly wanted our vacation to be the best yet. We ate at all the restaurants and they were all good, but interestingly the Legends Sports Bar was surprisingly very good, much better than we expected. I would suggest you make reservations before you go to make sure you have options when you arrive, you can always change them if needed, but better to have reservations than not.

A fun and awesome little bike ride to Meco. We got an amazing tour guide named Eduardo who showed us around the ruins of Meco, and taught us a great amount about it's history, as well as Mayan history and what life was like for the those that lived in the ruins at the time.

My Garza Blanca Family really came through for me for my birthday vacation. Enrique and Fernando pulled all stops on my special day. Alex, Ricardo, Antonio, Benjamín, Alfredo come in with five star rooftop customer service. Giovany always comes in with a special coffee and a friendly smile! Lena with relaxing yoga. The ladies and gents in the spa are so friendly and kind, even when they had to repaint my nails twice! Alex even cleaned my sunglasses while I was waiting on my cab to the airport!

"Family friendly luxury resort near Cancun, highly recommend!"

We travelled to Cancun for 3 weeks, trying 5 different hotels (RIU Cancun, Xcaret occidental, Iberostar Paraiso Maya, The Westin Lagunamar are the others). We must say Garza Blanca is by far the best, even though "The Westin" was really good aswell. Garza Blanca is totally professional, from arrival to departure. We arrived early, was welcomed by champagne, and friendly faces everywhere. Asked for an early checkin and they prioritized the cleaning of our room so we could get a bit earlier access than checkin time. In the meantime they provide a room to relax or change into bathing suites to use the amenities of the hotel before getting the room. After a few days impressions: best food so far for our 3 weeks here, trying out the different alacarte restaurants. supernice service with a personal butler that will service you through whatsup when you need anything. In-room dining opportunities free (in all-inclusive) including roomservice. Many pools so never feels crowded. If we go back to Cancun we will definetely return to Garza Blanca. It's about a 30 minute taxi ride from Cancun hotel zone (which is around 50$ taxi transport charge).

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Garza Blanca. The service was A1 from top to bottom. Our two Butlers Fransico and Octavio went above and beyond to make our stay the best ever. The butlers even set up a surprise for my wife on her birthday. All the food was delicious. Every restaurant we went to surpassed our expectations. The pools are fantastic and cleaned regularly. The suite style room is the best i have ever been in. The views where amazing. The one knock I would put on Garza blanca is lack of live music at night. Other than that top tier experience for sure. 5 stars from me.

"An unexpected trip and gem"

This was mine and my husbands first trip to Cancun . . . and to an all-inclusive resort. The Garza Blanca did not disappoint. The moment you arrive, you are welcomed by the staff. They were all so genuine and kind. Garcia and Luis, our butlers, went above and beyond to make our experience special by checking in on us several times a day, making sure we had transportation, room service and even met us to take some photos. The inside of this luxury resort is uniquely and beautifully designed from the rooms to the restaurants. The ocean views are breathtaking both by day and by night. The white sandy beaches and sound of the waves were mesmerizing and relaxing. It was just what we needed for a little escape. There are too many pools to count and the roof top had us swooning with its view and infinity pool. Then theres all the wonderful restaurants to choose from, lattes and specialty drinks. At the end of the evening, wed come back to our room and there was turndown service, slippers and chocolates. We were spoiled and cant wait to go back.

The whole experience at Garza Blanca is one of luxury. Everyone who works there makes you feel welcome. For anything we needed we contacted our butlers Francisco and Octavio, and there assistance was always immediate and on point. All our servers at the restaurants and pools also did exemplary jobs. The room itself is modern, elegant, and luxurious. Check-in and check-out was very simple. Something I didn't need - reminders to attend the membership update. I'm already a member. I have no desire to be upsold an upgraded membership. It would also be good to get a summary of room charges before I check out in order to have time to go through them.

Garza Blanca is beautiful and they pay attention to the details. Everything from slippers and Chocolates with turndown service to the pool staff remembering your drink order. One of the best features that Garza Blanca offers is their butler service. I never thought that I wanted a butler service, but Octavio and Francisco were fantastic. Octavio helped with local suggestions, booked a birthday dinner at an amazing local restaurant that I never knew existed and arranged our transportation too. Furthermore on my friends birthday we went to an excursion and came back to champagne and a birthday treat in the room! Wonderful experience and plan to go back again.

Dont know where to start, got there right away the staff was really friendly. Checked in was super easy, asked for a room upgrade and they made it possible . My son had an amazing time, between going to the different pools, dinner at night. At the roof top pool adults only two of the staff that marked my vacation by their treatment was Ana and Alex. Super nice and always asking us if we need anything. Benito at the front desk was another staff that made our stay incredible, when checkout time came I did not want to go and wanted to checkout late he said someone was checking into my room that day, but somehow he made it happen. Left the property by 3 pm. This vacation was absolutely amazing. Garza blanca is just another level

"Great resort for friends and families"

This is really a 4.5 star review. My wife and kids (18 &16) went with friends and their kids (18, 16,&13) from 6/5-6/9. The resort is beautiful and nicely laid out and we felt comfortable letting the kids roam since it wasnt huge and confusing. We had a 2 bedroom oceanfront suite and it was a perfect set up for a family. 2 bedrooms with a living room/kitchen separating the 2 gave everyone space to spread out. And the 3 bathrooms helped out after being at the pool and getting ready for dinner. We did the AI plan and would recommend it. Food was really good and we ate at all the restaurants. The breakfast buffet was pretty typical for an AI with plenty of selection. Lunch at the bites bar was always good and the waiters bringing the orders meant never having to get up from your chair! Overall our favorite restaurant was Davinos but nobody had a bad meal anywhere. Abel at the pool bar was awesome! He handled all our drink orders with a smile on his face all week. He makes a mean blue iceberg!Now comes the couple things that knocked the 1/2 star off our stay. One was the mini bar. We never got it restocked all week so we would have to call room service for beer, water and coffee. We left notes and tips asking for more drinks and snacks and never received it. Really weird. Weve never had that issue at other resorts. The other issue was signing of the bills even with the AI plan. I understand it is for inventory control but the process is not real customer friendly. There were days when we had a tab open at the pool bar, the tiki bar and with a waiter and at the end of the day we had to close out all 3. It would seem to be more efficient if everything was on one system where it was just combined since you have to give your room number. Part of it felt like they wanted you to sign the bills so you could see the inflated drink/food prices and tip more because you spent $500. Overall I would highly recommend the resort for families. Plenty to do for teenagers (the activities team got everyone involved) and great food and room layouts. Just need to figure out the mini bar and improve on the check signing process and it would be 5 stars easy!

The room was beautiful with a wraparound balcony /hot tub and hammock. Our butlers Joel and Otikio were a pleasure to deal with catered to our every need. They made the stay magical. We are loyal Sandals people with butler service and Joel was on par with any butler weve had.Pools/Beach Beautiful pools, great drink/food and the beach was outstanding! Benjamin at the Elite pool was awesome! He kept the drinks coming and the food from Bite Bar was fantastic. Try the ceviche and guacamole!!! Spicy margaritas, spicy palomas and guava margaritas are must haves! Micheladas- to die for!!Food:La Casona Steakhouse and Legends Sportsbar had great food!!! Hiroshi next door at Garza Blanca was also great. The Caprichos breakfast buffet was great. Try the chilaqueles! Tortillas and bacon are hidden at the omelette station but are worth asking for! Room service food was also delicious.I 100% recommend this hotel for a dream vacation!

Elizabeth at pool is great at passing out the towels and is very on top of it. The day we got there, Alberto was introduced to us and is the pool concierge.

We had an exceptional stay at Garza Blanca in Cancun. The staff, including reception, bellboy, waiters, barmen, butlers, cleaning, spa and babysitter were attentive, smiling and helpful. The hotel is new and everything is extremely clean. The food was amazing. Aged steak at Bocados and sashimi at Hiroshi were delicious. White sand beach with calm sea. Some seaweed that were getting cleaned throughout the week. Communicates with Sea Garden hotel which is great for walks and try other restaurants. Walkable market and pharmacy. Kid pool is great and the loved the carrousel. Will be back every year as we are members.

Wow wow wow! I cant wait to come back! The details of this trip were exquisite. Our butler, Candido, was friendly and helpful. He made sure we had amazing service at the spa, getting our times to eat at the restaurants, and having everything we needed in our rooms. Our spa experience was the best we have ever had.

"A great place to relax and recharge"

ProsOne word to describe Garza Blanca Cancun is luxury. This was our second vacation here and we can't wait to come back. Everything from the staff to be room to the food was perfect. We didn't have a dining experience that was anything but awesome. Special shout out to our butlers, Francisco and Octavio, for making every detail of our stay excellent and Antonio at the rooftop pool/bar. ConsThe high pressure sales tactics. Please don't force me to be rude or put a dark cloud over an otherwise outstanding experience. Another thing I really dislike is the all-inclusive policy that the days (3 day minimum) have to be consecutive. We like to do things off site but had to jam everything into the first few days in order to take full advantage of our all-inclusive benefits.Overall we give Garza Blanca Cancun 4.7/5.

"Best vacation I have ever had."

The best vacation Ive ever taken, out of all of the places Ive traveled to. The service is outstanding. We were assigned a butler, and Candido was very attentive to all of our needs. They also have Villa Del Palmar connected to the resort and you are able to attend all activities at either locations. I highly recommend this place.

We had a great time celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary in Cancun at Villa del Palmar. We enjoyed everything about the resort, especially the beach bar! They have great activities, including a bike ride to local ruins led by Jesus, and fun entertainment including a magician! The food is great, especially Davino.

Shout out to Saul from STK La Casone, and Elias from Caprichos. Legends was also fantastic and unexpected, much more meets the eye than the initial sports bar reaction. Every restaurant overall was very solid, ran into some issues at Davino with finding a way around my wifes lactose intolerance, not a big deal at the end of the day. Overall just a fantastic trip, every staff member was great, every day was what we wanted.. a stress free relaxing day.

"Great Experience at Villa Del Palmar"

I had a great experience at this resort. The rooms are very clean and put together nicely! I would advise you to book dinner reservations at least 10 days before your trip, as they are not as easy to reserve online when you get there. The staff were more than helpful! The activity crew knew how to have a good time and made this vacation lots of fun. Adrian, Obed, and Irra, who worked at the Tiki Bar were so amazing! They got to know our names and knew our orders by heart! This resort is more of a family resort, with minimal activities. The activities were lots of fun, but there are not any events for adults at night, u less you go off the resort. The resort basically shuts down at 10pm and opens back up in the morning for breakfast. You can still roam the resort past 10pm but there are not any events going on! The resort is worth a visit though, great memories :)

As soon as we arrived, we were served Champagne, and the amazing service never stopped. The property is beautiful, built around a Mayan treehouse theme, with every little detail closely attended to. The room was a spacious suite that had a balcony with a hammock and a beautiful view of the resorts courtyard and beach. The restaurants, the bars, the spa, and the beach were beautifully maintained. The entire staff made every effort to be attentive and were very friendly and welcoming making our honeymoon special and memorable. Quite honestly, the best vacation weve ever been on.

Villa Del Palma was a totally wonderful four days. The service was superb, with great beaches, awesome swimming pools, large rooms w/ balconies, soft beds, and pillows. The food was fantastic, and top-notch chefs at four different restaurants (Breakfast buffet is great, so much to choose from, including lots of fruit. The activities provided were excellent, The three (I only remember Max) that led the Zuma exercises were outstanding! They were funny and put on nearly an hour of high-energy dancing. The all-inclusive resort includes room, meals anytime, cocktails anytime costing us only $200 per person per day. Heartily recommend it.

"Mostly great, one disappointment"

We have been visiting VDP for years. We have frequently asked ourselves if we should try another resort but always decided that there was simply no reason to. VDP with all inclusive has always been the best value for the cost that we could find. Service is the number one attraction to the resort. Wait staff at Zama lunch are the best and Casona is a close second. Zama lunch is probably our favorite meal. It's worth leaving the pool for an hour or so. At the pool, Moises and Benjamin diplomatically keep things in order with respect to chairs and umbrellas. This is not always easy with large groups and, sometimes, unreasonably demanding guests. Pool waiters Benito and Armando are attentive and friendly. (Don't forget to tip the people who make the resort special.)The reason this is not a five star review is to point out our opinion about the new restaurant policy that has removed the Garza restaurants from VDP all inclusive. "Old Hiroshi" was probably our favoraite restaurant when it was located off the lobby. We didn't mind that Hiroshi moved to Garza because, for a time, it was included in our all inclusive at VDP. Sorry, but we find that Legends is a poor substitute for Hiroshi. Blue also added nice variety. All told, the choice of dining options in the VDP all inclusive has been disappointingly reduced. I'm sure there are resons that Tafer wants to make Garza a more attractive choice but the pricing at Garza puts it in competition with many other high end resorts. Where VDP has always been a great value at the price point, Garza may not be. We spend so little time in the room, the modern upscale environment of Garza doesn't seem to be worth the price compared with VDP. Dining options are important but in, our opinion, don't justify the higher price for Garza. Perhaps the all inclusive plan at VDP could offer two levels. A premium level at higher cost that includes some of the Garza restaurants in some way (for example; a Garza restaurant meal with each three days all inclusive at VDP or similar) would allay some of our doubts about continuing our twice a year visits to VDP.

Worth every penny. Incredibly friendly staff, gorgeous rooms, a true 5 star hotel experience. My only complaint is having to sign for everything even when youre all inclusive. Not that big of a deal, but other all inclusive resorts dont require signatures so its a minor inconvenience and a little confusing since it shows a bill and total but youre not actually paying.

"Positives and negatives."

We came on holiday here for 2 weeks as a couple all inclusive. We enjoyed our time except for a few things. We wouldnt rush back as theres other places in the world we would rather go to. - The hotel is kept clean and is presented well.- The Chinese and Japanese restaurants are very good, especially the Chinese. The Italian at the sister hotel next door, also - very good. - Our butlers Angel and Diana were exceptional, cannot fault them at all. - Hector in the Chinese restaurant was very good at his job, we ate in there around 4 times so we experienced other waiters too but Hector deserves a mention. - Andres in the Spa is very good at his job and very accommodating and professional. - The spa is very good. - Our bed was comfortable. Negatives: - Not close to anywhere really and need to get a taxi to go to anywhere else which is around 20 minutes away from the nightlife/other restaurants/shops. - If you spend over a certain amount of money you get approached by sales and they approach you to have a meeting with them (for them to sell basically a form of timeshare to you) and theres no obligation but if we attended we would get a couples massage or a romantic dinner for two.. we went to the meeting which was actually okay and Lance who was good at his job and which we wont fault but when we finished the meeting we went for our voucher and we were told that we would only be getting $50 towards either the massage or romantic meal. So was a pack of lies to get us into the sales meeting. So that annoyed us for a couple of days as you dont need that sort of thing when you spend alot of money on a long haul holiday. - Bathroom in bedroom isnt private at all. - Tiles in bedroom are VERY slippy if they are slightly wet or if you have wet feet. I fell over onto my back as someone was knocking on the door and I had to get out of the shower. - The Mexican restaurant in the hotel isnt good. - You can hear chairs moving on the floor from above your bedroom. - The beach isnt good, full of seaweed and is rocky and bits of litter in the sand. (The sand is actually bright white and soft so thats nice). Because there is seaweed there is a tractor on the beach every day getting rid of it to reduce health risks as when its on the beach fermenting it can become toxic apparently, we were told by hotel staff. So thats fair enough but not ideal or relaxing when youre at a 5* hotel. - Not made aware that theres building/construction work going on at the hotel for an extension for adults only so you can hear that if youre outside and isnt really a pretty sight neither.

Benjamin at the roof top pool was great as well. Our only complaint was the spa. The massages were average and during one of our parties massages the masseuse left the room several times and the massage was shortened. We were a party of 12 that included 5 young girls. The girls spent most of the days in kids club and begged to go back. The carousel onsite is a great touch! We cant wait for our next visit.

This was the perfect vacation! From check in to check out it exceeded our expectations. We had reservations at all the restaurants except Legends (which I'm sure would have been great too) - all were delicious and service was great. The activity coordinators (Natalie, Max, and I forgot the other woman's name) were so fun! Our family of 5 (kids age 18, 15 and 9) played beach volleyball, aqua zumba, pool volleyball, catch the baby and had a blast. Bladimir and TNT at the poolside bar MADE our trip!

"The Luxury Beach Resort & SPA FOR Sure in Cancun"

The BEST and only place I stay when I. am flying to Cancun! Number one is EVERYTHING!!! 4 Diamond says it all! WE came in for the October Wellness by the Village Spa. Every day for 2 weeks,(we only stayed one week) there is an Healthy Event to be part of. It can be sitting outside learning about all the Tea benefits, or going to a Yoga class on the pier or taking a SUP YogaBliss class, or a Myan Smoke Sage bath and massage. There was facial workshop, Spa products workshops, and more. This is a special event that the Tafer Resorts offer. This year in 2023 I believe it is in JUNE.The Resort has 5 different restaurants, 5 pools, a market on the property, the spa is amazing, then the beaches have private beds and thatch roof stands. The people are absolutely friendly, the staff goes out of the way to make everyone happy and their is always something to do IF you want too as well as RESTING spots if that is something you are into,The rooms are complete with coffee makers, stoves, full kitchen In the one bedroom and there is studios as well as 2/3 bedroom layouts and even more.

"Always nice to get away from the grind"

Nice vacation. Good service. Clean room. Good food. Servers were very attentive especially Raul and William. Water from pitchers in restaurants smelled. As did water in showers. Seaweed on beach made going into the sea unpleasant. People held onto lounge chairs for the entire day and there should be signs about time limit. We did not do all inclusive and it bothered us to pay for bottled drinking water No outside bars or restaurants to visit without taking a taxi.

"Family Spring Break & 18th birthday Celebration"

My family had the best time at the resort over Spring Break. We celebrated my oldest daughter's 18th birthday. The staff made her feel extra speical. Big shout out to Milton and Domingo for taking the time to wish her a happy birthday and making the entire family feel welcomed. We are members and were greeted with waters as soon as we arrived from our 7 hour travel time. Claude and Isadora were a weath of information and went the extra mile for us. Alondra who is also part of the members team was very welcoming and give us tips on the tours we booked.I can't wait to return, all of the service staff deserves special mention.

"Absolutely amazing vacation!!!!"

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Del Palmar. The food was amazing at all the restaurants!! We had great service all around! Our childcare services were excellent!!! Nycynha, Monse and Wendy took wonderful care of our boys!!! They had different activities every hour. They did treasure hunts, games at the beach, pool time, making jewelry and playing all kinds of games. They have ipads and Nintendo and Xbox. Our kids loved it and it gave us the opportunity to go to the gym and spa. Highly recommend the spa!Beach is great and the kids had plenty to do with the kayaks, paddle boards, snorkle gear, life vests provided. Most everything is included in this resort including tips. We left extra of course. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. We went to Xel-Ha, Ventura water park and Isla Mujeres. We loved all our activities! Mexico is very safe if you travel safely. So many of our family were afraid of us traveling. Its totally safe and I hope people take vacations to Mexico. Its beautiful and the hospitality is over the top! Our boys are four and six years old and they didnt want to come home. Thank you Villa Del Palmar! We will be back!!

"More than just a beautiful resort"

My 3rd time at the Cancun resort. This time, here to celebrate my birthday with my family. Amazing time as always! My butlers, Alfredo and Fernando, did a tremendous job ensuring that my family was taken care of. I was greeted with a birthday surprise because of them as well! Shout out to these individuals who made our visit memorable, starting with Dallas and Dylan, dad/son duo who communicated our needs with the Elite Concierge and made magic happen. Eli, Fernandos supervisor, and Mario at Dao rectified a confusion, with Giovanni coordinating our special dinner. Luis and his team at BocaDos for a swift and delectable steak night. Almendaro (sp?) who made our last dinner so delicious and worth looking forward to while at Hiroshi. Tomas took care of us during our last breakfast at BocaDos and he was quick and accurate. Lucy, Daniel, Angel at the beach side were so accommodating. Not to forget, Ricardo who made sure my family had the desired spot at the pool for our last day. Abraham was our poolside server who made sure we were fed and were comfortable. I wanted my family to have the best spa experience and Gustavo was the right person to pamper us. He showed passion and dedication - so great! My masseuse, Laura, did a phenomenal job at relaxation and stress-relief, that I ended up dozing off during my massage. All those talented massage therapists who took care of my family members need to be recognized as well, even though I didnt catch their names, because they seared a positive experience for years to come. My familys housekeeper did a wonderful job at tidying a 3-bd suite, while my housekeeper, Cesar Diaz, kept my room clean and comfortable daily. Valerie and Isabel did great at coordinating our needs as our Elite concierge. My Aventour drivers were both wonderfully friendly and safe. The food, drinks, ambience and offerings of the resort are great, but these individuals mentioned made the 5-day trip so special and memorable. Will obviously return!

"Trip of a Lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

My friends and I had the most enjoyable stay at Garza Blanca! The staff were incredibly service orientated and so friendly and warm, always smiling and always accommodating. The 5 star restaurants and bars were not only delicious but also so incredibly designed and had such amazing ambiance and incredible staff. Every cocktail imaginable was available to us and every taste-bud was satisfied with the many choices of cuisine. The rooms were so impressive they actually took our breath away for a moment. The beds pillows and linen so comfortable fresh and dreamy .I felt so spoilt I literally didnt want to leave ! Our expectations were exceeded on every level and we want to make special mention of the following staff members:Water sport/kayak Alejandro, our bell-boy Ernesto, our butler Omar Sanchez (so accommodating and friendly), concierge Marcia(extremely helpful), DAO waiters Pedro and Jimmy (professional and entertaining), Taxi driver Israel , Emmanuel breakfast coffee (best coffee every morning), yoga instructor Lina (incredible woman)Benjamin rooftop waiter (super efficient and friendly), roof top salsa band - amazing!I would recommend anyone who plans to stay at Garza Blanca to book restaurants in advance - DAO is number one, Hiroshi, Bocados, Davino, Blanca Blue are all amazing also! The Rooftop is a MUST!We stayed in the 3 bedroom loft and cannot even begin to express our gratitude for the indulgence of this room category.We cannot wait to go back!

"Best of our ten week vacation was the five weeks at Garza Blanca in Cancun."

Our stay at Garza Blanca from January 10 - February 14 was fantastic from the concierge Jessica, butlers Enrique & Luis, the turn down service, Alondra and all of the pool staff.Enrique was a pleasure to work with from getting a room we enjoyed and treating us to a surprise for our anniversary which isn't until September. His daily visits asking us what are needs were from restaurants to pool reservations. Very fluent with English and Spanish. Will definitely ask for him on our next visit. Alondra was very pleasing to speak with. She is doing great at learning English. We were willing to share our life experiences with her and she with us. We highly recommend her to the butler position. Paula was our favorite pool manager. We would highly recommend promotions for Enrique, Alondra, and Paula.We missed you all on the last leg of our vacation. Our best memory is the sign of the hand over the heart.We will be back soon. Love you all.Carol & Gerry

Just finished a week at the resort. Had an amazing time, great weather and very nice and new facilities. It was our first time out of the US as a family, and our kids had a blast with all of the pool time. We had especially great service at the pool from Santiago on our last day and our butlers Damien and Anna took care of little things (like getting medicine for a kids cold) . Would recommend considering the property if you are vacationing in Cancun, and doing it all inclusive made every a breeze

"Let's eat !"

During your stay you have access to a few eateries. If you're thinking steak or if you're interested in an elevated dining experience even using the AI benefits; then Casona steak restaurant is an excellent option. Julio is a shining for this place and will make your visit special and offer excellent recommendations. The Smart casual attire may not be strictly adhered to, however I encourage you to dress up a bit and enjoy the full experience. After all, the dining staff are well dressed with neckties in 85+ degree weather. So leave the flip flops in the suite and dress for a wonderful dining experience including delicate appetizers several prime cuts of beef and seafood . The dining staff are very pleasant and all welcoming. The 4 meals I've had included the red snapper, tenderloin, and ribeye. Don't forget dessert with the chocolate mousse or the Marzcapone. Delish!

Wow! Where to start! Absolutely fabulous visit. It all started at the Elite members check in with Julissa awaiting our arrival. She made us feel special from the minute she greeted us til the very last wave goodbye. She checked in with us daily to ensure our trip was fantastic! And it was. We cant wait to see her again next year. Two weeks of amazing food, hospitality and relaxing comfort. We had a one bedroom Villa on the 8th floor overlooking the Five pool area. Although we were a couple the resort is both couple and family friendly. Hot pools and fire pits. Beautiful entertainment in the evenings. Our elite pool was a highlight of our trip with Kevin and Carlos greeting us daily. The best pool concierges with the very best service in Mexico. The two men were so polite, responsive and accommodating every single day. Thank you for making our trip so outstanding. Raul was our favourite pool waiter. Constantly attending to us. Such a great hospitality personality. Very good to us every day. Finally, a shout out to the splendid service staff at the restaurants onsite. In Davinos we so appreciated Ruben and his attention to detail his wine and food knowledge. So polite and friendly. At Hiroshis restaurant Angel was a star. His food and wine recommendations were first class and made our evening special. At Gourmet Hall Fernando was excellent. He was friendly and recommended entrees and desserts with such politeness and we can tell he truly loves his work. Every staff member seems to love what they do here. We will definitely be back again in 2023.

"Great place to be!"

This review is for my 15th trip (3 weeks Nov / Dec 2022) to our amazing home resort. While we can go to any of the other Tafer/Villa resorts with our membership, due to direct flights from Nova Scotia we always go here. When you have found perfection in a relaxing vacation spot to escape winter, why go anywhere else. I highly recommend this resort.As per usual ALL the staff made the difference in their dedication to ensuring one has a stress free relaxing experience. Special shout out for Carlos at the Elite pool and elite concierge Giovanna, they were awesome!!!We were allowed to use the new Garza Cancun (next door) restaurants, for dinner only except DAO. So many delicious options to choose from, you will go not hungry. We had no issues getting reservations at the restaurants. We lucked out and were the first customers at the new Legends sports bar. They had a tasty FIFA brunch special as part of the debut. Went a couple times after that for lunch as apposed to Zama/Bite Bar. I recommend the ribs.I am an early riser, usually 4-5a.m. Cancun time. I often went down to the pool decks and walked around with a coffee during the mornings to see the sunrises. My favorite thing to do there. So peaceful and serene.I like meeting people here, staff, fellow members and non members. Everyone is so friendly.

The restaurants all had delicious food and the staff were professional & efficient. The only downside was our concierge, she was impossible to reach after the first day and they made too many mistakes with our restaurant reservations.

The entire resort was very clean and the staff all work very hard to provide guests with everything they could want or need! The butler service was phenomenal and we really appreciated the efforts our butlers went to to make sure our family had a wonderful stay! The adults-only rooftop pool was lovely and the views from there are stunning. Our children (eleven and fourteen years old) enjoyed this resort! They kayaked, played beach soccer and volleyball, and snorkeled. The acrylic front pool was great, fun photo opportunity! The carousel out front is just stunning!! The suites are absolutely beautiful and spacious! I highly recommend Garza Blanca Cancun!!

"Best. Trip. Ever."

I had an amazing time visiting this resort. The food was delectable, the staff were extremely friendly, and the rooms were very homey.The family friendly environment was nice for my wife and I. We arent much for the party atmosphere and we felt like we were comfortable.My favorite restaurant was Dao. On the rooftop, the view was breathtaking. Our waiter, Gustavo, was the best. He remembered someone in our group and added some extra stuff just for making an effort to come up.Plan on coming back for our anniversary and booking Dao way in advance

"Above and beyond expectations!!"

We spent 5 nights at Garza Blanca and each day was better than the next! We also brought our kids ages 4, 4, and 6. From the moment we arrived, the staff was so friendly and rolled out the red carpet for us. The lobby is stunning, it felt fancy but in a comfortable way that didn't make me nervous to have our kids bouncing around. The rooms were immaculate, super clean and comfortable, and having a washer/dryer in our suite was the cherry on top. Our butler Javier felt like a friend, he would come out and see us at the pool, he pulled all kind of strings to get our dinner reservations made each night since we didn't have any before arriving. Cannot say enough good things about the kids club and the wonderful ladies that work in there. They were always so welcoming to our kids, always smiling, and even our last day in paradise the kids were begging to go to the kids club we couldn't believe it. One of the days, we arranged for kids to eat dinner with the kids club and they took them down to the dining hall and had balloons set up and a special table. And another day, they did a pirate scavenger hunt and did a pirate face painting on each of them and then took them all down to the beach and we watched from a far and they had several staff out there with them to make sure all kids were being watched. Lastly, I want to mention the pool staff which we spent 80% of our time with. If you can score chairs in Ariel's section then you've hit the jackpot!! He was a 10/10 amazing! He's really what made our stay so fantastic. Service, friendliness, attentiveness- would notice when our drinks were low, learned the drinks our kids liked. Mauricio was also super friendly and made sure we were always taken care of. Have to also mention the merry go round carousel that ran in the evenings. The sweetest little thing for our kids and us to enjoy. The two helpful things we learned.1. Make friends will pool concierge and they will set aside your pool chairs before it opens, or get up at 6:15am and get down there to put your stuff on chairs bc it fills up really early. 2. Make dinner reservations before you go. That's something we didn't know, and we had very limited times to choose from but Javier was still able to get us in which was amazing.

From the moment you arrive every detail is perfection. The facilities are immaculate and extremely clean, and the entire staff worked together to ensure our satisfaction. Each day we were asked multiple times we needed anything, and we thoroughly enjoyed a few special extras as we celebrated our 50th birthdays! Monse, our butler, was the BEST!

"Love Garza Blanca Cancn!"

We just spent 6 days with family and friends at Garza Blanca Cancuuun. Overall it was a fabulous visit. The hotel is quite new, I think maybe just over a year, and its very clean and luxurious. The pools are beautiful and large, and even though the hotel was nearly full for a few of our days, the pools and beach never felt overly crowded. Note tho that getting good pool chairs is quite competitive!The beach is lovely and the seaweed wranglers worked very hard to clean up the beach - this time of year its common to get seaweed. Food - obviously a key feature at an all inclusive- was great everywhere with the exception of Blanca Blue; which was surprising as that used to be our favourite restaurant at Garza Blanca Puerto Vallarta. Anyway, the beach taco stand has some of the best tacos Ive ever had. The chicharron prensado (while not good for ones waistline) with the fresh corn tortillas and some black garlic salsa . . Our meals at Dao, Bocados, and Hiroshi were all excellent! We also ate next door at Villas de Palmar, at Zama, and had a wonderful meal there also. Lastly, the breakfast buffet was the best weve ever had.Our interconnected rooms were spacious and modern. One little nit pick, getting room snacks and espresso pods refilled was a bit tricky. The later, we ended up with only decaf pods by the end of the trip. Highly recommend the parasailing booked thru the beach activity center. From the air we saw large sea turtles swimming in the stunning turquoise waters. We also did a snorkeling trip over to Isla Mujeres and highly recommend that also. Lastly, muchas gracias! Santamaria and Octavio in the concierge / butler team for taking care of reservations, beach chairs, and any of the first world problems we encountered!For those considering Garza Blanca Cancuuun vs Puerto Vallarta they are both great places. The trade offs are all personal preference. If you want stunning ocean and mountain vistas (from rooms and restaurants) then go with Puerto Vallarta. PV also has the advantage of the city itself, which is so interesting to visit and with world class restaurants if you want a change of scene. Cancun is newer, the pools are better, you get the Caribbean blue waters - its a bit more of a party scene in the pool tho, PV is more tranquil IMO. PV has whales, Cancuuun has turtles. I mean you cant go wrong with either one!

"Great food / loud music"

The rooms are spacious and beautiful. The food is amazing. The restaurant staff is amazing.The maids, turndown service, room care takers missed some steps every day. Sometimes they forgot to clean our room. I would give it 5 stars, but the pool music is obnoxious. They crank the dance club music at 9am and it is currently 11pm and I hear music blaring from a wedding.They should play softer music at the pool until 11am, then club music from 11-4 and then back to nice music. The music is so loud we cant talk by the pool. The pools are beautiful though. The work hard to keep the seaweed away too.

"Great Stay at Villa del Palmar "

We visited Villa del Palmar Cancun on a promotional all inclusive deal. This hotel is considered in the new hotel zone, northeast of the city. The hotel is five star and is beautiful. Service in all venues from the pool to the upper end restaurants was wonderful. We never lacked for attention. We had a studio facing the ocean. It was certainly large enough for two people with a stocked refrigerator, microwave, sink and Nespresso machine. Housekeeping was excellent also. Poolside activities go all day long. They had some great music two of the days. Chairs poolside were claimed I think by 7 am so put your book down early. Only downside to me was that the water pressure is the shower was poor and that at night, the place closes up. There is little entertainment during the evening. Otherwise, great place, good food and drinks and wonderful service.

"Activities instructors"

I am super-enjoying all the aqua aerobics instructors here at Villa del Palmar in Cancuuun. However Jesuuus is extraordinarily talented and inspiring, making me push happily harder. He is such a great dancer and yet very humble.Jesuuus led my daily complementary Mayan Ruins bike tour, 1.3 miles down the road. He was so very sensitive to the needs and the questions of each of the 6 of us. Though he needs to improve his English, he is working hard on that. Soon he will be one of the best guides available. (Meanwhile Google translator app might be helpful if you wish to ask deeper questions not addressed in the tour.) He is certainly kind and sensitive to the needs and wishes of the tour participants.

The service was excellent and the food was incredible at all the locations on the resort. We did have to schedule all of our reservations in advance because they did fill up, but every meal I had at the resort was awesome from room service to poolside. Our family of 5 posted up by our favorite pool and Wiliam was getting us drinks and food as if he was reading our minds. The staff was great. Rooms were clean. The kitchen had everything if you dont go with all inclusive option. The beach was small but big enough and a little weedy(normal for the season).Overall it was a wonderful place for our family. Perfect trip. Thank you.

"Wonderful Family Vacation"

We had a fantastic time at Villa Del Palmar. We went for a week in the beginning of February and used the all inclusive plan. I will say the only thing I did not love about the resort was having to sign a bill at the end of each service. There were also exorbitant amounts included on each bill, which made me extremely nervous. I even went early to check out just in case there were extra charges on our bill. I am pleased to report that there were no extra charges!!!The food at this resort is excellent. We usually go to the Grand at Moon Palace. The food was definitely superior at Villa Del Palmar. We had amazing meals at the Bite Bar, Davino's, Bocados at Garza and Zama at lunch. We had outstanding service from Enrique at Bite Bar, Juan Carlos Loria at Zama, Azucena and Ramos at the pool and Marcos and Jimmy at Bocados. We really enjoyed the size of this resort and the entertainment team did a fabulous job. The bike tour to the Mayan ruins is definitely worth doing. Overall, I would definitely return to this resort.

"Amazing food and attentive staff"

We enjoyed Villa Del Palmar as much the second time as our first time in Nov 2022. The food is the best out of any all-inclusive we've ever been to. Awesome that guests can use the restaurants of the Garza Blanca next door (which is a newer, more modern, and more expensive hotel - VDP is better value in my opinion because it's still amazing even if it's a decade older).Special thanks to Carlos at breakfast that always had our preferred drinks right away without asking. Many thanks to Marcos and Carlos at Zama for our daily lunch. Martin at Hiroshi makes your dinner experience fun. And great experience with Aldo at the Gourmet Hall.There are so many great things to list for this hotel. Make sure to get the all inclusive package (you still have to sign every check, but won't be charged).

"Best place to spend 2 weeks in January!!"

Every morning we started our day with Lena the yoga instructor who was super accommodating for newbies and long term practitioners. It was wonderful, either on the yoga deck with the beach behind you or inside if too windy or rainy. However, the weather was great if you are coming from western Pa in January. The pools were beautiful, and the lounge chairs at the rooftop adult only pool were so comfortable. How nice is it to listen to Garzas live music experience program while enjoying the sun. Isabel Rodriguez and Monica Nunez the saxophone player were incredible. Also a handsome singer keyboardist seemed to be constantly working to our delight. He sang while we had dinner at la Casona one of two steak restaurants on the property. The meals at la Casona as well as Davino , Hiroshi and Dao were impressive. Roger our server at Davino was exceptional making us a flaming dessert. His deep chocolate voice went perfectly with it! At the restaurants as well as everywhere on the property they strive to please. But nothing is more pleasing than the heated toilet/BEDET seat in every bathroom on the resort, both in your room or in the public washrooms which are kept immaculate. I believe the staff to guest ratio is 2 -1 so you are constantly seeing the smiling faces from housekeeping, (Victoria) gardening, bar tenders and yes, even Butlers (Candido) Each night you were left chocolates after Gabriel Moreno of the turn down crew spruced up you luxurious room, or should I say rooms as we were lucky enough to stay in a 2 Br with a fully equipped and separate kitchen and living area. Of course all rooms have an ocean view from your balcony so get up early to catch a beautiful sunrise!

"Book this resort now - you won't find anything better! "

Guys - if you are contemplating going to Garza Blanca, just book it! You will be thrilled you did! The service in this resort the best I've ever encountered anywhere in the world. When you arrive, pull up the driveway and see the grand entry, you are mesmerized - it is amazing!! You are immediately greeted with a cold towel when you get out of the car and then a glass of champagne!! The rooms are fantastic! We had a simple hotel room. The balcony has a hammock. There was a soaking tub in the room. The shower had a rain shower head and a built-in stool for sitting or easy shaving your legs. The toilets have a heated seat, a drying option and are self cleaning. The beds are very comfortable. We had an all-inclusive plan and it was definitely worth it. The food at all of the restaurants was very good. As a guest at Garza you can also go to the restaurants at the sister property next door. Unlike how it is at some AI resorts, at Garza you could eat at any restaurant on the AI plan. They have turndown service! Need more towels, bottles of water, chocolate - you got it! Make your dinner reservations before you arrive. We didn't, but we were able to walk in to any restaurant at prime time and get a table. The Spa.....you have to go to the spa. They have a hydrotherapy circuit that is really cool. I think this was the order: sauna, massage shower, steam room, cold plunge (felt great and it's only 3 seconds!), hot pool and then a massaging pool - it had a lounge chair that you sit in and get massaged by the jets and the foot massage by the jets was amazing!! Book something at the spa and do this after your service. Let's talk about the best part of this resort - the people who work here. They know how to provide top-notch service. At the breakfast buffet Maria and Jesus were the best team every morning. Sitting outside on the patio was a great way to start the morning. At the beach, Paloma and Luis never let a minute go without you having a drink in your hand. The beach butler, Paola was so helpful with getting our chairs set up every morning and helping to surprise my friend with a Happy Birthday celebration - she decorated the cabana and brought champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. Do not miss Dao! The service and food here are superb. We went 2 nights it was that good. Ivan, Gustavo and Ingrid made it an extraordinary experience both nights. One day we took the ferry over to Isla Mujeres. It's a 10 minute taxi ride from the hotel to the ferry. Buy your tickets from machines or from the ticket sellers right next to it at the ticket window. Get in line and wait for the next ferry. We sat up top - great view. When we got to the island we turned left out of the ferry terminal and found someone renting golf carts. We drove down to the beach and rented 2 chairs and an umbrella from a little beach bar called Las Hamacas. It was $25 USD and that included access to restrooms and showers. They have swings as chairs at the bar. We had some drinks and food and stayed for a few hours and then cruised around the island on the golf cart. We went all the way to the southern tip. Was a fun ride and cool to see more of the island. One last thing that is worth noting. Garza Blanca is so clean. It is new and modern and clean. There are always people working everywhere cleaning. It's just amazing and beautiful. Book it now!

"King Family Vacation"

I want to first start off by saying that our family vacation to the Garza Blanca Resort and Spa located in Cancun, Mexico was very amazing due to all the staff who assisted us during our 8 day stay. Our butlers were Fernando and Angeles who were very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and passionate about their job. Fernando and Angeles checked in daily and provided service to my family above and beyond their responsibilities. My son turned 41 years old and Angeles made his birthday very special with sending him a cake to our room along with a balloon wishing him a happy birthday, along with other small gestures throughout the week. Angeles also did other thoughtful things for us as a family throughout the week that was kind. Angeles also scheduled all of our dinners for the week and spa appointments. Angeles also changed any of our appointments if needed. Angeles was so friendly and kind. Angeles was there everyday to ensure that our stay was comfortable and we felt very much at home. Angeles was very kind, competent and professional at her job. With the combination of both Fernando and Angeles they ensured that all of our needs were met on a daily basis and more. We will definitely request Angeles and Fernando as our butlers again upon return to your resort. Monse was also a friendly butler who was professional and we saw from time to time in the resort. We are owners here at the resort and are definitely happy to be. We own several time shares and this by far is our favorite one. We visited in November of 2022 and it was a great trip as well. The bellmen were also played an intricate role in our vacation. Jordan Poole was our bellman in November 2022 and our bellman in January 2023. Jordan is simply awesome. He went above and beyond his job responsibilities. He ordered us cabs, provided a cake and sign for my sons birthday, made great recommendations to restaurants outside of the resort and anything that was needed was provided. Jordan along with his other co-workers Daniel, Alfredo and another gentleman I cant recall his name sang happy birthday to my son. Jordan is a people person and knows how to satisfy the customer each and every time no matter what. Asazel, Escalante and Carlos were very knowledgeable, professional and friendly bellmen as well that helped us during our stay at Garza Blanca. All the bellmen stepped up to the task of satisfying my family everyday which we are truly thankful for. Our room cleaner was a woman by the name of Azalea who was friendly and did a great job of making sure our room was neat, fresh and clean daily. She also made special animals and decorations to our beds daily with chocolates. Also Felix the Room Service Manager. The staff at the various restaurants and breakfast Gourmet hall were excellent as well. Here are the following names that we would like to thank:Fernando, Johanna and Kenya breakfast at Gourmet Hall, Guillermo-Bocados restaurant Hector-Hiroshi restaurant , Cliff-Dao restaurant and Roger who worked at the Italian Restaurant located in Villa delPalmar resort. Lastly, Daniela and Isabel from guest and member services are truly amazing. Every check in and throughout our stay at Garza these two women have truly been remarkable as people and at their jobs. Both Daniela and Isabel continue to impress by through their consistent hard work and offering small gestures. We are thankful to have Daniela and Isabel each and every time as our representatives when checking into Garza blanca and hopefully get them each and every time we return. Luis and Aaron were our pool waiters each day and they were great as well with serving us along with friendly conversations. Another woman was a great help by the pool each day. I cant remember her name but she wore nice pink lipstick pretty individual inside and out. She provided exceptional service as well. In closing, The King family would like to thank every employee listed in this review and obviously there were other staff who were helpful around the resort but listed are the staff members that assisted us all week and we are very thankful for. We can call each and everyone of these employees friends and family as well. Until the next time but hope to return this year as we are always excited to visit your beautiful country Mexico.

"Great family getaway"

The hotel is excellent overall, especially for families with kids. The rooms are spacious, beautiful, and clean. There is a lot of space but the pool and the beach. The service is excellent throughout the resort. The food was great for the most part, excluding one experience at the La Casona STK. We ordered a medium rare porterhouse steak that was advertised as special, which was impossible to eat because it was so tough. The steakhouse at the Garza Blanca itself was great, as well as their other restaurants. We really enjoyed Dao, especially their Peking duck!Now to the two not-so-good things. First, part of the hotel is still under construction with a significant noise level, especially when by the pool and at the beach. Second, before our arrival, I called the 800 number listed on the hotels website to confirm my reservation and arrange for a transfer from and to the airport. The person on the phone was able to help me but then proceeded to arrange for the transfer via what I now understand is an unofficial transport company who asked for payment in cash, picked us up from the airport but never came back to pick us up from the hotel. The cash part was a red flag, but I figured there shouldn't be any issues since I called the hotel call center. It looks like some of the employees have a side hustle by working with unethical transfer companies. Do NOT use Jungle Roads for your transportation under any circumstances. Overall the hotel is excellent, and I would stay there again.

"BabyMoon in Cancun: Mostly relaxing with a dash of chaos"

My husband and I spent 5 nights at GB Cancun for our BabyMoonour last trip as a family of 2. As timeshare owners, we are accustomed to a high level of service starting from communications with the pre-arrival concierge all throughout check-out. This specific week in Jan seemed especially busy with a noticeable multi-family party occupying the majority of the common space (including blocking Blanca Blue for breakfast everyday) and the attention of the hotel. Nevertheless, the staff remained patient, professional, and eventually addressed unwanted behavior (ie: preteens crowding and ordering Shirley temples at the bar, parents allowing their young kids to treat the lobby like their living room, babies and adolescents at the adults-only roof-top pool). Yes, we saw this happen several days and nights in a row. Hard to fault the hotel, but it definitely could have been managed better for the sake of the other patrons in the common spaces. Theres excellent live music most evenings in the lobby, so it was unfortunate a small, inconsiderate group took away from the usual sophisticated and relaxed ambiance and turned it chaotic. Highlights: Miguel and Nazario (Lobby bar): the most efficient and charming tag team of bartenders. It was fun to watch them create magic behind the bar! The volume of successive, crafted drinks was not only impressive, but also the quality of their drinks (and my mocktails) remained consistent. They knew our usual orders by the end of the week! My husband was even treated to a one-of-a kind mezcal drink with homemade bitters, smoked with a wine decanter. Benjamin and Julian (Rooftop Bar): attentive and friendliest guys around who seem to personalize the experience for every guest. We especially loved making conversation with them and made sure to sit in their sections each afternoon. They would check-in every 30 minutes or so, which was the perfect cadence to keep us well-fed and hydrated. I appreciated the special attention made to accommodate my food and drink restrictions. Other notable wait staff to request, if possible: Gustavo at Dao and Edwin at HiroshiPersonable and observant with profound knowledge of the menu and excellent multi-tasking. Food at both restaurants were fresh and flavorful, with the service as the cherry on top! Cons: - We didnt meet our butler until well into our 2nd day because we arrived on her days off. Better planning (re: assignments and coverage) by the management could have easily fixed this. - No flexibility in requesting a late check-out. It was firm at 12 noon. We were told we could avail ourselves to the Hospitality Room until our scheduled airport transfer arrived past 2 pm. It was simply the business center/game room adjacent to the Wellness Center on the 2nd floor. Not entirely disappointing, but it was not a private space we could shower in and freshen up as was mentioned. Note: Our AI meal plan was scheduled to end with lunch on our check-out day, but a noon check-out time leaves little room to enjoy a final meal at one of the restaurants. Fortunately, Benjamin at the roof-top bar took care of me and made sure me and Baby had food on the way to the airport! This is over and beyond hospitality. - Noise tends to travel through the room walls. I could hear my neighbors in the suite next door washing dishes at 5:00 am in the morning.Overall, we felt pampered and rejuvenated from this stay. We used many of the available amenities (including Spa Imagine, AM yoga classes, the gym, the on-site photographer for our maternity shoot on the beach/carousel). There are some areas where service can be tightened and refined, but I tend to overlook this because of the warmest smiles and attitudes by the staff.

At Dao, Our server Gustavo was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He made several great recommendations that my husband and I tried. We loved everything!! The service was great. Our drinks were always full and the food came out quickly. Everything tasted great. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Dao to anyone visiting!! A major plus if Gustavo is your server!

"Amazing stay"

If you are looking to be pampered and treated like royalty look no further. This resort is perfection. From the moment you check in, shout out to Isabella, to the moment you check out your treated like a valued guest. Our room was perfect and so clean. I'm a huge fan of "the turn down" after a day in the sun. Our house keeping staff did such a great job keeping our room cleaned and welcoming. Our butlers, Enrique and Luis were so attentive to our every need. One day after visiting the spa which was amazing, we commented to each other that a little snack would be nice. We opened our door and found a cheese platter and bottle of wine with a note. From Enrique, your butler! What!! We were so spoiled. We have been coming to Garza Blanca since 2014 and are never disappointed. God willing we will be back next year. It's home.

"Villa Del Palmer, Cancn"

Great vacation at Villa del Palmer, Cancun. The resort is clean and beautiful. Seemed like a brand new resort. The food at the many restaurants is extremely tasty! The menu prices are a bit on the pricey side. But you get what you pay for. Good stuff here. Id recommend getting the all inclusive plan. Youll be money ahead, especially if you drink. The resort is rather remote so unless you want to take taxis everywhere, back and forth the all inclusive is the way to go. Everything at the resort was in good working orders. The pools seemed quite chilly but folks were still in them. The Customer Service is above average! Employees, waiters, staff, etc. are friendly and eager to help regardless of area or function. Juan and Carlos at the front deck were amazing at helping us with a small issue, which was taken care of instantaneously and professionally. Enjoyed interacting with the Bellman! They are the face of the resort and represent well. We did partake in massages at The Spa. The Spa Staff if wonderful! Kate was my masseuse and gave an amazing and relaxing 80-minute massage! Jesus and Patricia were very friendly and professional. We do wish there were some outside local eateries and shopping close by. There is a nice gas station and a couple of pharmacies within walking distance. But lacking in local Mexican shops and restaurants. With that said Wed stay here again.

"Great for families with kids!"

We wanted a family friendly resort for us and our two kids (ages 5 & 9), and this resort did not disappoint!First off, theres lots of fun for the adults such as multiple bars around the resort (including a few with swings), an adult-only pool, great cuisine and cocktails, and a kids club where theyll take care of your children for free. Kids Activities: Our kids also loved going to kids club so that was a win for everyone! They had arts and crafts, face painting, movies, video games, and toys. Our kids had a great time climbing around the inflatable obstacle course next to the beach. We spent most of the time in the main pool and kids pool, and the water in these was heated to a perfectly comfortable temperature.Staff: All the employees were friendly and attentive. We found one of the workers on the beach, Carlos, to be especially helpful; we had a great conversation about the history of Isla de Mujeres.Food: We decided not to go with the all inclusive plan, and I think we ended up saving money this way even though we ate well and drank lots of cocktails. The food and cocktails at all the hotel restaurants and bars were delicious. Dishes ranged from $10-$20. Each restaurant has the typical kid meals (hamburgers, chicken strips, buttered pasta). We thought the breakfast buffet was not worth the price ($20-30/person), since you can get a nice breakfast at the Starbucks/deli for less than $10/person.The Starbucks and deli in the market is perfect for when you want a quick, inexpensive meal. There is a mini-mart at the gas station across the street that has alcohol for much cheaper prices. Room: We stayed in a deluxe garden view room with two beds, which was clean and spacious with sufficient space for a family of 4. The beds were comfortable, and the patio had a nice view of a pool. The rooms came equipped with a kitchenette that had a mini-fridge, microwave, sink, and dinnerware. The hotel itself is well cared for, with lush plants outdoors, clean soft white sand on the beach, and clean pools and beach.Location: This resort is about 25 minutes away from the main hotel zone. There is nothing nearby other than its sister hotel, Garza Blanca, and a gas station/minimart.There were only a couple of cons:1. The pool with the bridge was cold, so we didnt spend much time there.2. I wish they offered more Mexican food at the restaurants. It seem like most options were American items. I left craving tacos :(Overall, this is a great resort for families!

"Great family vacation! My stay was too short!"

The stay was amazing. The place was very comfortable. Employee interactions were great! We had a butler, Otikio, and he did a great job following up with us, every step of the way. We stayed in a the 2 bedroom ocean front and 2 bedroom ocean view rooms. The housekeepers did a great job keeping our room tidy, despite our little one creating a mess every evening. Room service food was delicious. Most restaurants were pretty on point. too. I love how they allow for us to go back and forth between their newer resort Garza Blanca and Villa Del Palmar. Two totally different vibes, two totally different buildings and pools, but wonderful that they don't separate the two when it comes to their customers.Just to be completely honest, not everything was perfect, but I went with a group of 6 adults, 2 children and 1 infant, I know we were a demanding group. All the restaurants tried their best to accommodate us, so no real qualms there. Augustine was very patient with me at checkout and really took his time for me. The guys who took care of us at the poolside and beach were fantastic, as well. I don't remember their names, but they should all get some brownie points for taking care of our huge group so well.They made my stay easy and painless. Will definitely come back.

"All inclusive is the way to go! "

We were here for our honeymoon. Unfortunately I needed a wheelchair but all the staff were incredibly helpful and kind. They treated us like royalty. Great food at all restaurants and room service. Get all-inclusive... its very worth it. They stock ur fridge and coffee and chips and candy and beer...Custom REAL drinks... no premixes. Beach cabanas with food and drink service. Very very clean and well maintained. Rooms were spacious and clean! Hot tub.. hammocks .. comfy bed. Only criticism i could give is the concierge... it felt kinda salesy and time shar-ish. And our excursion to xitcha itza (not hotel associated but sold by the concierge) was awful. That was the only thing that wasn't wonderful.

"An absolutely wonderful time, highly recommend for any type of vacation."

I truly cant say enough good things about Villa del Palmar Cancuuun. Whether youre bringing your family, your significant other, or a group of friends, its a wonderful place to stay. The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly, and there is something for everyone. The pool area offers adults the ability to lay out and relax, go for a swim, eat, drink, exercise, etc. and it offers numerous activities and play areas for children. Our server at the pool, Angel, was pleasant each time we saw him and always made sure we had drinks and were enjoying ourselves. The pool area workers also make sure everyone gets a seat. A man named Moises was a great help to us. The food available on site and next door at Garza Blanca was also spectacular. The breakfast buffet offers a wide range of morning cuisine, including an omelette station (with fresh eggs and veggies), smoothies, and some of the best orange juice Ive ever had. The servers are always hustling around there, as its very busy all morning, but they were always willing to get what you needed. One gentleman, Oswaldo, wasnt even assigned our table and still offered to refill drinks when we needed. The restaurants we also enjoyed included Hiroshi (Japanese), Davino (Italian, which we had the pleasure of being served by Antonio, who was delightful) and Zamá (Mexican, where our server Jose was also fantastic and recommended a delicious octopus dish). We also got a luxurious couples massage at the spa, which included facials, a steam room, dips in multiple hot and cold tubs, and concluded with a complimentary bottle of champagne. The suite we stayed in was spacious and very comfortable. The multiple bathrooms, showers, sinks and full kitchen make it hard for one to even want to leave the room, not to mention the balcony with a hammock. Even the ride from the airport was nice. Our shuttle driver Javier gave us a scenic tour of the area on the way to the resort. All in all, it was an unforgettable trip and we cant wait to come back!

We had the best time here!! The rooms, service, and staff were all top notch. Angel was our waiter by the pool, and he was so incredible. Super attentive, friendly, and wonderful! We made sure to sit in his section every day because of how great he was :) we cant wait to come back for him! Moises by the pool also helped us set up our spot. We cant thank him enough! On our second day, my boyfriend and I got couples massages. Fernando helped us set them up, and got us a discount! Andrea and Adrian were incredible. For breakfast, Oswaldo was our waiter at Caprachos and he was super attentive. He got us everything we needed and made sure we were good! We went to Davinos for our first dinner, and the food was great. Antonio was our waiter, and he was excellent as well! So helpful and gave us incredible dinner recommendations. We had a fantastic meal all thanks to him. Another notable dinner was Zama. This is the Mexican restaurant at the resort. Jose was our waiter, and he was terrific! He gave us great recommendations as well. We will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you to all the staff for such a memorable trip :)

"Fantastic stay"

I have never stayed at a resort before and decided to treat myself whilst on vacation. I have been missing out!! The accommodations are amazing as are the amenities available. There are 5 different pools, several different restaurants, a spa, gym, hot tubs, kayaks, etc. The beach is fantastic and the water perfect.I personally didn't go for the all-inclusive option because it wouldn't have been worth it for me. I don't consume alcohol and tend to just snack throughout the day while on vacation. However, if you do enjoy alcoholic beverages and eat 3 squares a day, then you should definitely look into the all-inclusive option.Staff, no matter their position, were always friendly, helpful, and professions. The gentleman operating the activities booth on the beach where you get the kayaks or paddleboards were fun and very accommodating.The O-N-L-Y issue I had was the lack of soundproofing between adjoining rooms. My last 2 nights were spent trying to drown out my neighbors, their loud children (running wild after 10 pm), and their tendency to slam doors.I would go back there in a heartbeat because it was such an amazing and relaxing experience.

"Christmas at Garza Blanca"

We traveled to Cancun over Christmas and had a wonderful time at the Garza Blanca resort. We were traveling with a mix of 2 adults and 5 children. I wanted to list some of the great things about Garza Blanca, a few points for improvement and some tips.Pros:1. Resort is absolutely beautiful. It is relatively compact with the rooms surrounding a courtyard of pools, including two infinity pools and hot tubs. We loved swinging on the hammocks that are placed over the pools. There is construction on the one side of the hotel, but we were not affected and barely noticed it. The roof (adults only) is stunning with an infinity pool and views of the beach and sea.2. It is brand new and the rooms are luxurious and spacious. We had a 1 bedroom with a junior suite attached. We had booked two junior suites, and the hotel graciously allowed us to upgrade so that our rooms would be adjoining. The one bedroom had a full kitchen with a washer and dryer, and a balcony with a table and chairs and a hammock. 3. The food was really good. To be frank, I had low expectations of an all inclusive, but the restaurants all exceeded expectations. Dao was probably my favorite, but the quality of the food in all the restaurants was awesome. Try the habanero sauce at Gourmet Hall for breakfast if you like spicy stuff. Also try the jalapeno poppers and table side guacamole at Blanca Blue, the table side Caesar at Bocados. Every morning we ordered coffee to the room with a bread basket and some fruit. The food arrived promptly and was excellent every time. 4. The service was really phenomenal. Our butlers (Ana and Daniel) helped us arrange a birthday party for my daughter, going so far as to help decorate the room and arranging a small cake. Leo, Paola, Santiago and Jesus at the pool were key, arranging our towels, and kept us fed and happy. Victor at the lobby bar made a great tasting drink. When we had too many dishes housekeeping sent up someone to hand wash the dishes. We were really amazed at the service.5. We didn't use it much, but the kids club was nice and well furnished. Lots of activities for the kids and some babysitting available after hours if necessary (we didn't try that). 6. Definitely try the spa, our wives had a great massage and hydrotherapy. Cons:1. The beach is just not that great. We knew this going in, but it suffers from the seaweed problem and it is also fairly small. You can try going to the island off Cancun, but the ferry is expensive for a large group. 2. We had a hard time with the drinks. I drink JW black label and I know how I feel after a double. We had many drinks and could not catch much of a buzz. I don't know if we were sweating it out or what, but it was mildly disappointing. 3. The resort is far away and expensive to leave from. Activities nearby are few and far between. For a reputable van to the hotel zone is around $90. We played a round of golf at Playa Mujeres which is 10 minutes away. You can have clubs delivered to the hotel for $45 and the round was $170/person. Definitely vacation prices but we had a great time playing. 4. Tipping- I am not sure this is a con. The resort says that tips are included but tipping is expected by the staff - if not explicitly. What I did was bring a bunch of $1, $5, $10. The staff work hard and we were getting exceptional service and I didn't begrudge anyone. Please budget for the butlers and especially the housekeepers. I would recommend that the hotel break out a line item for tips in the bill like cruise ships do so that it can be shared. It would take away some of the awkwardness of the practice. Tips:1. Get the one bedroom2. Buy your own booze.3. Don't take the timeshare deals, they are somewhat underwhelming. We were not sold aggressively BTW.4. Talk to the staff, they are really friendly. 5. Try to order everything at the restaurants, the portions are relatively small.6. Eat before you go the airport. The prices at the airport for food and drink are ABSURD.Overall, we would definitely come back again. Thank you to the hotel for providing a wonderful experience.

Amazing service from Gustavo. He helped us pick the best appetizers for our large family or 25+. He was knowledgeable and extremely accommodating! Very dim sum or appetizer was better than the last. Will be returning it back at Garza Blanca. Thank you!

"Best resort!"

From the moment we pulled into the resort we were treated like royalty. Carlos the bell boy was AWESOME! We become friends with him instantly. Carlos went out of his way every day he was there to come to check on us, Even though he was a bell boy! Every single staff member was extremely nice, all of them greeted us with smiles no matter the time of day or night. The butlers Josue and Andres were amazing!! The housekeeper Juana was top-notch. The turndown service was my absolute favorite!!! Our suite had a pool and the server Santiago was the best!!! He came to find us every day we were there. 2-3 days of those days he waited on us the entire day no matter how busy he was. Not to mention there is a sister resort next door and that place is also just as great!! We were next door to the faerie that took us to the island of Isla Mujeres. Such a cool place to spend the day. I would recommend the Garza Blanca to anyone looking to be treated like royalty! Extra props to he bell boy Carlos! He was seriously the best!! We will go back just to see him!!! Andres and Josue were also so kind and helpful!

"Most wonderful dinner at Hiroshi!"

We had a fabulous meal at Hiroshi at Garza Blanca!! We were a group of 11 vegans and they prepared a truly magnificent multi course meal for us! It was one of the best Japanese restaurants we have ever eaten at anywhere! Hector was an incredible waiter, the chef did a fabulous job creating beautiful delicious dishes, and many thanks to Amr for organizing vegan meals for us throughout the week at all the Villa Del Palmar and Garza Blanca restaurants! I cannot say enough great things about these resorts and all the people who worked so hard to make our stay special and memorable! I will leave additional reviews for the resort, for Amr, and for some of the other restaurants in the coming days. In the meantime just wanted to post this and give a big thank you to Hector and the Hiroshi chef and staff!

"Not just a cut above the rest, a HUGE CUT above the rest"

As we drove to the gate all our mouths, even the drivers, just dropped open because there was a carrousel on the front lawn of Garza Blanca all lit up because of course we are getting in at around 10 PM and it was just the most beautiful thing Ive seen. The guard at the gate just waited until we all could compose ourselves and took our eyes away from the beautifully exquisitely kept property to give him one minute of our time. Hes prolly used to that first impression pause, so he stood and waited until the stunning effect wore off. But you know it was just really mind capturing, and that was the beginning. Welcome to Garza Blanca. Just an amazing display of lights and glamour at first sight on this sprawling property.

"Exceptional Service, in Paradise"

Villa del Palmar has officially become our second home. We just visited for our third time and we will continue to come back as often as we can! The amenities (rooms, spa, gym, pools, beach access, etc.) are all very nice, clean, safe, and well maintained. The food and drinks are delicious (we do all-inclusive, and for us it is worth it). But what really makes Villa del Palmar stand out to us is the level of service and care their staff shows. Weve been treated SO well every time we have been there; just to name a few very special people by name, Wilbert, Wiliam, Chef David, and Moises all took excellent care of us and made our time at the resort absolutely exceptional. We were there to celebrate our third anniversary and they pulled out all of the stops to make sure we enjoyed are special day. We really cant recommend the resort enough!!! If you go, find Wilbert, Wiliam, or Moises and be kind to them, they will hook you up!!!

"You will love Villa del Palmar!"

Villa del Palmar has everything that you could want when youre on vacation. I recommend this wonderful place because of the first class service that I have received from the time I arrived to the time of departure. Its great for families, couples and even a solo vacation to rest and relax. I recommend the all inclusive food program. It covers just about everything. Id like the room service for breakfast in the morning. Zamas for lunch, which reminds me of a Mayan temple and La Casons, a steak and wine dinner restaurant. The all inclusive also includes cocktails and different beers. You can arrange to have a romantic dinner delivered to your room or on the beach. The property is immaculate and well maintained. The swimming pools are crystal clear. Plenty of pool towels are provided. All of the staff from The Concierge desk to the front desk to housekeeping take great pride in their work and they do it with authentic kindness and beautiful smiles!I want to give special recognition to Julissa,my personal concierge and Carla who was so helpful and kind throughout my visit. Ruben, my waiter at Zamas, great service and very delicious food. Adrian, my masseuse at the Village Spa, one of the most fantastic massages that Ive ever received. Rosa, so kind and such a such a beautiful smile and Edwardo, who took very good care of me, made sure that I was hydrated and Jesus scheduling and setting up everything for me at the front desk.I can see that the Tafer Group take very good care of their employees. It really shows! Frederick Wallace

"All inclusive, not all inclusive. That is the question."

VillaThis is a beautiful resort with a all inclusive option that we chose not to do for all days but three. It is expensive to eat and drink here. They charge you gratuity every day and a resort fee. The Italian restaurant was our favorite Most people are great but some are not as friendly as others. We loved sitting out by the pool, wait staff very friendly, but because it is an all inclusive, takes forever to order drinks and get them, 20% added. Plenty to do if you just get off the beach chair. Activities every day, including water aerobics, volleyball, cornhole, dance lessons, and the list goes on. Lovely strolls on the beach.Very happy with our one bedroom. Had a lounge chair,table and two chairs on the balcony with an amazing view. Four burner stove, coffee pot, full size fridge, couch, and a Murphy bed.What they need to fix, is the broken icemaker in the freezer, a leak under the studio sink and replenishing our mini bar. The only thing that we used potato chips, snickers bar, couple of waters and a Coke. I had to ask at least seven times for the chips and the snickers bar to be replaced. They also tried to charge us for waters and beer that we didnt drink when we were on the non-inclusive day. There is a market next-door to go buy gallons of water, chips and pop. There are so many people was love to say thanks for making this special stay Arthur (food and bev manager)Melissa, Marco, Benjamin, Fernando, the list goes on, too many to mention. I WOULD RECOMMEND.

Our first time at Graza Blanca and very impressed with the food especially at Dao. Im a big fan of Dim Sum and Dao did not disappoint. The food was amazing, and the service was even better. Our server Gustavo was so hospitable. He anticipated our every need, and made recommendations for every course. The Sui Mai he recommended was so good i had to order it twice. He even surprised us with a special dessert at the end of the meal. Deep fried ice cream that he lit on fire. Had the best experience here, thank you again Gus. From the Skelly family :)

"Great food and services, not so great experience making reservations"

The food and services were both very good. Our waiter Enrique was very attentive amd friendly. The reason that I did not give 5 stars cause it was a chaos making reservations. I was not able to make online reservations 2 weeks ahead either because of system issue or they were fully booked. I called the hotel from the States and spoke with someone at Hiroshi to make reservation and was told I was all set. Today I called ahead to ask if I could delay my reservation from 7 to 8pm and was told I could do 8:15pm which was not a problem and I appreciated them being flexible. Once I got there at 8:15pm, it seemd like they did not find my name or room number on their list and they went ahead and put us at sushi bar without asking. We sat there for a while without drinks or menu to look at until our waiter Enrique came and asked if we'd like to switch to the table. We appreciated his top notch services and the great food, the reservation on the other hand need some training and improvement.

Our family of four spent the week of Thanksgiving at Garza Blanca Cancun!! The resort is beyond beautiful with top notch amenities throughout! Having our Butlers, Enrique and Fernando for all of our needs was an extra special treat! Each morning we were greeted w a good morning text, asking what could they do for us today. The same each evening. This resort is truly top of the line with service and care. Each meal the servers were amazing, my favorite was Raul at the breakfast buffet! The pool deck was filled with great servers (thank you David!!) and the pool butlers were constantly making sure our needs were tended too! Ricardo at the pool bar was always kind, helpful and interested in getting us the best beverage! All of our families needs were met from start to finish!

"Wonderful hotel with wonderful people."

I stayed at Garza Blanca for 5 nights for a wedding and have to say it was a very nice hotel from top to bottom. Let me start with the roomIf you have been to Cancun numerous times and stayed at many places I am sure you have seen how many hotels need updates or if they have had updates then much of the work looks very shoddy. Garza Blanca was definitely not that. The hotel was very well maintained and up to date. The rooms were well appointed, up to date, clean, and spacious enough. I loved the balcony with a hammock and even slept in it one evening. The bed and pillows were clean and very comfortable.RestaurantsI thought the restaurants were fine and the food good. I really enjoyed the Japanese restaurant. We had booked a table for a party of 8, but ended up needing a table for 14. At first they said it wouldnt be possible (which we understood), but the management stepped up and told us that if we could wait 15 minutes they would do their best to accommodate us. It was really very nice of them as they were very busy and slightly short handed. I would like to also add that the food and service they provided us was great and my favorite over the course of 4 days. I think my only issue would be that you have to make reservations for dinner and sometimes it was difficult as things got filled up very quickly and you cant make reservations before arriving. ServiceEverything and everyone I experienced was really great! From the moment i stepped out of the taxi to the moment I left every person was very willing to help in any way possible. Im not sure if every room there comes with a butler, but I was lucky enough to have one assigned to my room. I would like to give a shout out to my butler Luis who was just amazing. He was very knowledgeable, made arrangements for anything I needed, very prompt in getting back to me, and just overall very attentive. My iPhone charger had broke and he even went to his car and lent me his charger for my stay. If I have anything I think they could improve upon it would be the speed of service at the bars. I am not sure if they were short handed or what, but getting a drink at the lobby bar, roof top bar, and pool bars was a chore. I found myself often waiting over 10 minutes to get a drink. Overall I would say that Garza Blanca is definitely a great place to stay and i would recommend it to anyone.

We had Alejandro at the davinos bar and he and the entire group made our trip better. Once again the team here and at Garza Blanca with Diana and Izmael are the reason we keep coming back. Thank you Alejandro and team for a great visit

I had an overall great experience at this hotel. Staff was great. The outdoor activities were so much fun. I had a great experience learning how to paddle board and loved it! Alvin taught my brother and I he also showed my mom how to kayak. Overall great experience.

"Bravo! "

Special shout out to Natalia, Jesus, Jimena and Giselle. Ive never seen so many people join the Aquafit class before - its a testament to their fun and upbeat energy. Truly one of the best entertainment teams Ive come across. Also want to personally recognize Alexis our waiter for Dia de Los Muertos Mexican buffet. It truly was a pleasure to be served by him. He was very refined and poised as if he went to waiter school.

"Beautiful property and excellent service"

Our group of three couples rented a 3 BR loft residence with the all-inclusive plan and it was perfect. We really enjoyed the extra touches: attentive butlers, twice-a-day maid service, nightly chocolates, use of the VIP pool. The food at all of the restaurants (we ate at both the Villa del Palmar and Garza Blanca venues) was superb and much better than I would have expected for an all-inclusive plan. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we enjoyed beautiful custom dessert surprises. Our friends treated us to an indulgent couples massage at the spa and our experience was amazing, so many extra touches to make it memorable. We were so glad we went top of the line and it was still very affordable. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff of Villa del Palmar for providing us with a fantastic vacation! Already talking about our next visit!

"Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort and Spa"

First time to a Cancun resort, for both my mother and myself. The breathtaking ocean view and ivory white sand was coupled with an amazing and professional staff who provided fantastic turndown services and accommodations for us, ensuring that we got the most satisfaction during our respite away from our busy work lives. The villa was also gorgeous and beautifully tailored with artistic decor, and even included a personal jacuzzi and washer & dryer.There was also a massage spa, hosted by very experienced massage therapists and staff, with many services to choose from such as rejuvenation, deep tissue massage, and skin & body care plans - was undoubtedly a relaxing way to pamper oneself. Everyday on the beach, Eric (one of the many excellent and dedicated staff) checked in on us frequently, providing drinks, food items, suggestions for fun activities, and assisted with helping us reserve a canopy bed along the shore. In addition to taking part in the awesome activities including kayaking, snorkeling, volleyball, and social nightlife gatherings, the restaurants - Zama, La Casona, Davino, and Caprichos - there were delicious and unique with their own exquisite menu items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (with abundant listings of wine selections for the meals).I'd also like to recognize individual staff from the restaurants my mother and I attended, as they each provided us with personalized services, providing us with high-quality client care throughout our meals:Caprichos - server (Jorge) & cook (Daniel)Zama - server (Jorge)Davino - server (Gerardo)La Casona - servers (Janet & Marco)This was a unforgettable experience for us, and we will forever remember these moments and top-tier professional services from the people who make Villa del Palmar so wonderful.I plan to make another visit next year!

"Great October Vacation!"

I did so much research before our arrival on Oct 14th....everything positive that I read was true! Travelling were myself (46yrs) my fiance (50yrs) and my son (14yrs). We flew out of Toronto and have zero complaints about Westjet or our flights. Arrival was easy at the Cancun airport and we booked private transportation via Canada Transfers. I'd definitely use them again. We had booked a 2 bedroom Oceanview room - it was massive! So much privacy for both the adults and teenager :) The view was lovely! We were so happy to have laundry within the room so I could run a quick load through during the week. The only issue was a lot of construction noise that made it's way into the room from the front of the resort due to work being done at Garza Blanca. Housekeeping was amazing - the cleanest room I've ever stayed in. We enjoyed room service several times and it was delivered within 45min each time. Food as a whole at the resort was AMAZING! And so were the drinks! Our favorite restaurants were Davino's and La Castona. It's definitely a quiet resort with most everything shutting down in the evening. That's ok - we go to bed early and get up and head to breakfast around 7:30am. We also spent a day at Isla Mujeres - we booked through Isla Driver Robby for our tour. Highly recommend this company! We had a wonderful time driving around the island, swimming in the most stunningly clear water, and having lunch at a local restaurant and bar. A few mentions of outstanding people who were above and beyond amazing:Daniel - Front DeskSelena Castillo - Housekeeping Adrian - Davino Bar (this guy is the BEST!!)Moises - Pool Area Eric - Bites BarThank you Villa Del Palmar for making our vacation so special. We will most certainly be returning!Jenny, Jason & Tanner

"Romantic dinner for two"

Everything about our stay at this resort was great. We especially enjoyed the romantic dinner for two on the beach. We had a three course meal with lamb and steak for our entrees which both were cooked perfectly. Everything from the bread to dessert was delicious Benito the chef did a great job Gabrielle our waiter was awesome. He made sure all our needs were met including providing a small table for my purse, bug spray for the few mosquitos and refilled our wine and water. Gabrielle provided great service all around and even took great photos for us from different angles and view points.

We went for a girl's trip, and enjoyed every bit of it. Every morning Oliven was ready to get us out on the water to kayak or snorkel. He was also happy to get a bunch of adult women on the bouncy castle ! Highly recommend. Eric made our poolside experience so comfortable and fun. And lastly, with our package we had butler services through Otikio and Santiago, who were a great team and did the rest of the thinking for us. This was the most pampered I have ever been!

"Great experience"

The hotel was perfect for our family vacation. We chose here because they offer suites for not much more than a regular room. The rooms were huge, clean, and all face the ocean. The pools are perfect. There are 4 or 5 of them plus 4 hot tubs. Very kid friendly so if you're looking to party hard this isn't the hotel for you. The food was definitely the highlight. There are 4 main restaurants to choose from for dinner at the hotel plus another 3 at their sister hotel next door. The Japanese restaurant was killer. I'm Japanese and so for me to be impressed it takes a lot. Its not the typical tepanyaki that you find at all inclusive, it's nigiri, sashimi, rolls, skewers, and tataki. Also the Italian restaurant was fantastic. We went there twice because I craved the squid ink pasta after having it the first time. The service across the hotel was top notch. The hotel clearly puts a strong emphasis on this and the employees are well trained. A special shout out to our server at Davino, Alonso. Helped us big time by bringing food early for our 2 year old, and always knowing what we needed when. We can't wait to go back.

"Great amenities & excellent spa services"

We went on a girls trip and stayed in the 3 bedroom residence, which is very spacious and gives you access to a private pool area where you can reserve your chairs in advance. Very nice! Eric brings you drinks and food all day. We went on an all inclusive plan. The food is better here than most all inclusive resorts, but you have to sign a check, even though it is paid in advance (this is something I didnt love, but it isnt a deal breaker). Make sure to get the chair massages from Fernando - he is fantastic! The spa and massage quality is excellent as well. We liked our massages so much we booked the same service the next day. They do still have a seaweed problem, so we spent every day by the pool and looked at the ocean view. If the ocean was clear and the all inclusive included tips and you didnt have to sign, this would be a 5 star review.

"Beautiful resort in Cancun"

Generally an excellent experience, beautiful new resort with modern rooms/amenities, great restaurant options, large number of pools, activities, and service. The swim up suites are particularly nice for a family opening up to a private pool, which then opens up to all the resort pools. Special mention to Hector in the Japanese restaurant who made the meal extra special and organized something for our son even though it wasnt on the menu - he also prepared a lovely personalized cake for him and my wife. Only 2 real suggestions for management:1. At breakfast, your waiters kept asking every 2 minutes if they can take our plate away (every day). It was quite annoying - the person may not be done with their food, or may want to get another serving. It felt they were always in a hurry to clear the tables, which didnt make it such a pleasant experience. I mentioned it several times to them to not disturb us unless we called for them.2. The rooms have a large number of pillows - but they are all quite high and thick, which arent the most comfortable for everyone, particularly on the neck. Would be great to replace some with thinner options.

My friends are owners at this resort and rave about it constantly, now I know why. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The service is incredible, from housekeeping to wait staff everyone is amazing. We celebrated my birthday, at pool side Ricardo made me feel like a rock star. The spa is beautiful I wish I could have Pablo as a massage therapist at home. My only criticism is the techno beat music, I would have preferred something local to the culture.

"Amazing Costa Mujeres resort."

While our 10 day stay was nearly flawless, there were a few minor hiccups that were immediately addressed. I will get the shortcomings out of the way first so that I can expound upon all the greatness of this resort. At check in, the front desk tried to give us a different room from the one booked. My son had booked a junior swim up king suite & we were advised that they did not have king beds, only queens. After 15 minutes of discussion, a king bedded room was located. As butler service is included, we advised ours that we would like turndown service after 8:00pm, while we were at dinner. The first night they showed up at 5:00pm. We turned them away, notified the butler and upon our return from dinner our turndown was complete. Ditto for day 2. Butler assured us housekeeping would rectify the problem. Day 35:30pm. This was getting old. Days 4-10 ok. 6:00pm on day 3 a housekeeping rep knocked on the door & advised us that she had to conduct an inspection of the suite to confirm that pictures & Nick nacks were in their proper place. I was beyond insulted, but was immediately advised that they had sent her to the wrong suite & we received immediate apologies & assurances from management that it was a honest error. Apology accepted. Once our butler got our wine/champagne & cheese afternoon order down pat, we never wanted for an early evening snack!The food quality & variety is probably the best of any AI resort that I have visited & I have probably stayed at 30 different resorts both north & south of Cancun. Breakfast is a very good buffet with special orders available. It is now being served in Gourmet Hall, which just opened while we were there. The view is not great but the food & service make up for it. Blanca Blue is the Mexican restaurant & serves good, traditional Mexican fare. No Mexican coffee is available.Hiroshi has indoor or outdoor seating. Good menu variety & sushi. Food truck is a lunch venue on the beach. Quick service & good food. The snack is a bar/restaurant adjacent to the kiddie pool. Good drinks and food snacks. Bocado steakan excellent steak house. Great steaks cooked to perfection with a huge variety of sides. The Cesar salad prepared table side is the best. My only gripe is there are several up charge meat selections. Dao is Asian with basically an unlimited menu. If you can think of it, they have it. As a guest of Garza Blanca you have access to Villa del Palmer restaurants next door. La Casona STK is their steak house & has a great menu but lacks table side Cesar salad. Zama serves tradition, good Mexican dishes. Do not order champagne sangria. Lemonade with wine (undrinkable). Davino is Italian & as usual, Italian food is not that good in Mexico. Go elsewhere. Now the best that I saved for last.THE ROOFTOP. What can I say about a rooftop infinity , heated pool.full stocked barlounge and towel service.great lunch restaurantdrinks and food delivered to your chair or at a table..And the best Server in the resort, Senor Benjamin, who will make your stay very specialgreat food preparation by chef AlexAnd the best part is its ADULTS ONLY. Our one bedroom swim up suite was perfect in every way. Two full bathrooms, full kitchen, regular coffee maker with real coffee, living room with dining table, couch, 2 chairs, washer & dryer, refrigerator with ice maker, microwave & great comfortable king bed. Drawer storage is limited. The ultimate surprise is a heated, lighted, washing toilet seat. The patio is huge with a table & chairs, couch & hammock. The patio lacks lounge chairs which would complement the suite. I hope management takes my suggestion & installs lounge chairs on the swim up patios. I usually dont go to a resort twice, but this gem is an exception. I have already booked a return in March. Im looking forward to being pampered beyond imagination for another 10 days.

"Great trip with a few flaws!"

Check-In - I would rate the check-in a 1 out of 5 experience. This is supposed to be a 5-star property but you get a 30 min sales pitch for an annual membership with the hotel group on check-in really delaying the process and cheapening the experience. We came from a long day of travel with delayed flights and my daughter kept mentioning how hungry she was but the lady kept on with her pitch even after we told her we weren't interested.Food - 3 out of 5.DAO and Hiroshi are probably the best food options on the resort and they're open only for dinner (both these options are 5 out of 5). Most of the menus are outdated on the website as we saw different menus when we went to eat at most places. There's only one option for breakfast besides room service. For lunch, you only have the option for room service or poolside food/food truck (no restaurants) on the website it says Blanca blue is open for lunch but that's false. They told us its only open for breakfast and dinner. If you want more options you have to go over to Villa Del Palmar. The lack of food options for lunch made me give this an overall 3/5.Service - 5 out of 5The service is what makes the resort feel like a 5-star resort. Shout out to Freddie our server by the pool, he was amazing and really took care of us.Rooms- 5 out of 5Great clean and modern rooms, no complaints there. The swim-up rooms are probably not worth it, small pools and no one really swims in them, better to opt for a 1 BR suite.Overall this resort still needs time to fix its inconsistencies to be a truly 5-star resort to compete with the other big names out there.

Everything about our Dao experience was spot on. The service was polite and attentive with good humor. The food was terrific. I had a sauce that took me for a trip! So rich and flavorful with a late, unexpected kick *chefs kiss*. And our server, Gustavo, presented us with interesting cultural information when he served us our tea. Cherry on top, we got a little cheesecake at the end because it was our last night. Amazing! Try it out when youre here, its a must. Of the three dinner restaurants we went to, this was our favorite.

Impecabble dining experience at Dao and customer service was second to none. All of the staff are excellent but a special mention to Porfirio who made our dining experience extra special. If you stay at Garza Blanca, make sure you dine with Dao. Will definitely come back!

"Live music was awesome!"

We recently returned from a 10 day trip to Villa Palmar Cancun. Although there were a few hiccups and bad communication from the office personnel/concierge, it was well worth our time. Louie, the singer for the Cuban band was so fun to listen to, dance to, and especially visit with and get to know. We have gone to this resort 3 x since Feb 2021 and it is always a pleasure to see Louie and Son Clave. Thank you Louie Rene!

I had a wonderful experience with team room service. Omg the food was magnificent and the staff was wonderful. Attending to our every need. I couldn't ask for a better Birthday . We had Filet Mignon and mashed potatoes, tomato soup and a wonderful salad.. 4 course meal prepared in our room.

"Palmita Deli at Villa Del Palmar (VDP) Cancun"

The Starbucks and Deli at VDP offers outstanding pastries, breakfast options, sandwiches, pizza, sushi, and specialty coffees. We vacation at VDP or the adjoining Garza Blanca several weeks every year. I visit the deli every morning for breakfast and coffee and we eat dinner at the deli nearly every other night. The staff is very customer friendly and helpful. Ulises Rubio, Deli Supervisor, knows his regular customers and is very accommodating to their needs.

"Wonderful vacation at Villa del Palmar!"

Villa del Palmar is a very attractive and well maintained resort hotel. Staff throughout the resort were friendly, courteous and helpful. We especially liked the salmon and other food as well as the staff at the Xama restaurant. Kudos to waiter Ignacio Moreno, host Karina and busboy Cesar. We had wonderful salmon and teriyaki chicken at Hiroshi's restaurant in adjacent Garza Blanca. We enjoyed the exciting, high energy Mexican dance performance in Capriccio's restaurant.We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay. The pools area was very attractive and it was always easy to find a lounge and umbrella. We especially enjoyed the quiet adult pool. Our one bedroom apartment was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The king bed was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. We're glad we upgraded from a studio to a more spacious and better equipped one bedroom apartment.We will definitely return and we highly recommend Villa del Palmar Cancun to others.

"Tiki Bar made my trip"

Being in a foreign country for my first time was certainly an amazing experience. What really made it for my was Adrian and Candelario at the Tiki Bar. The first day Adrian immediately treated me and my girlfriend with love without any interaction. The second day he remembered our names and what we liked to drink. I truly felt like a regular at the local bar already. Adrian and Candelario really know their way around cocktails and treating people like their family. I had the best time with these two gentleman and their energy. If anything Ill be coming back for these fantastic humans.

"Super Service"

This was a family trip before the end of summer and before school starts for the kids. Overall, we had a relaxing trip. Thank you to the full resort staff for their attentiveness and hard work to make our stay very pleasant.Restaurants: La Casona - food was good, loved the soups, was a little disappointed with the sauteed shrimps (it was more like a large plate of shrimps), but everything else was great. Service staff was very friendly.Davinos - the tortellini, lamb chops and catch of the day were delicious. Again, staff was super nice.Zama - We were pleasantly surprised that this was our family's favorite place to eat. The octopus tostada, prawns cream soup, and soft shelled crabs are to die for! Most importantly, we LOVED Luis! He was enthusiastic, fun, and gave us excellent food and drink recommendations when we asked him. Always love the table-side flaming coffee waterfall. We had such a good time that we came back for dinner. Ask for Luis when you are there.The Bite Bar - We enjoyed the drinks (mango marg, dirty monkey, pina coloda, and more) and the portobello mushroom pizza were favorites pool-side. These servers work hard.Caprichos - We only had the breakfast buffet there (the usual fare). If you want bacon, you'll have to ask for it at the omelet bar. Hiroshi's at Garza Blanca - Pretty restaurant. I loved the sashimis (scallops, octopus, salmon). The up-charged lobster roll was not that great, don't pay extra for that. Awesome service staff.Dao at Garza Blanca - We ordered some dishes for a family of 5, Pedro recommended to add 3 more appetizer dishes. This resulted in way too much food and we were struggling to eat it all because good food should not go to waste. So this experience made us sick of food. The peking duck was good. Head chef Ho came out and carved it at table-side. This was fun to watch. I have to admit that Pedro recommended some very good drinks - just go down the drink menu.Blanca Blue at Garza Blanca - The breakfast was amazing! Eggs benedict with crab... yum!! I enjoyed the breakfast so much that I dragged my family back for dinner. I'm truly apologize to my family for that. The food was such a disappointment. I think the tried too hard to make the dished so upscaled that they missed the tastes all-together. Our food service was out of order. Although staff tried hard. Don't go here for dinner until they get their act together.Garza Blanca vs. Villa del Palmar: It depends what you like. GB is more sterile-like, lots of white and lights. VDP is more cozy, traditional. Although we liked the rooftop bar at GB. Villa needs to have a fun bar for those that don't want to go to sleep at 9PM.Pools: The first 2 days we were there, the pool water was so nice and warm. The rest of the stay there, the water was cold. Not sure why is was such a difference. Pool-side wait staff was great! I'm sorry I can't remember their names.Room: We had a 2 bedroom with ocean view. The rooms were clean and nice. Great turn-down service. Was disappointed that it was not sun-set facing.Elevator: You gotta be quick otherwise you might get the doors closed on you.Beach: We were disappointed that it was seaweed season. The weeds were out and made the ocean not as pleasant and clear. Be sure to avoid this season.Our overall impression of Villa del Palmar: We went after schools are back in, so it was not crazy crowded. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for families.

"Best resort in cancun!!"

Our family visited this resort labor day weekend and it was absolutely amazing!! The staff went above and beyond for us in every way possible. Marcos coba ( firme) was the manager at one of the restaurants down by the pool area . He was amazing he set us up with a beautiful lunch on the beach at the pool and didn't disappoint with the beautiful set up. He also set us up at the pool with a private cabana and lounge chairs and we must have had the best server there his name was Manuel H!! He never once let us run out of beers or drinks and snacks. I can't say enough about these two men they made out last day at villa del Palmar so relaxing and special. The whole resort staff from the front desk to the room service staff and housekeeping everyone of them just had such great attitudes . I loved being there and didn't want to leave but until next time, we will be staying again you cannot beat the experience and top notch service .

"Relaxing Family Vacation"

We loved our stay at Villa Del Pallmar. The service was great even before we arrived. Will Perez called a week or so before our stay and he made sure we had transportation. He also helped us book an amazing sailing trip. He was knowledgeable about the best activity for us with 2 small children.Check in for us was fast and easy with no time share sales. The next day when we came down for a map of the resort we had a sales pitch but not to pushy. We loved the food. We have stayed at 6 or so other all inclusives and this was by far the best food. I loved the Tuna at the Italian restaurant the most. Our kids loved the pool. Spending all day by the pool and ordering lunch to our chairs was dreamy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We wish we could go back !! Thank you for the great trip!

"Anniversary and Birthday"

My wife and I just came back from this luxurious resort were we both shared a lifetime experience while we celebrated our anniversary along with my birthday,, the minute we checked in since we are members we had assigned 2 very attentative service hosts the team of Vanessa and Damian, who were our hosts for any little thing from morning until nite, they answered all our questions, made great suggestions, reserved our dinner reservations and much more, never ever we had received that quality of service anywhere else,, much love to them. Throughout our stay we were treated with above and beyond service from every corner of this beautiful new resort that has great service, passionate staff and good food, in the snack bar by the beach the team of Raul, Misael, Laura and Daniel made sure we enjoyed their service by providing everything needed. At the swim up Bar the team of Fernando, Jesus and Nazario definitely provided great service as well. At the pool area we were taken care of the best server with his passionate, dedicated and attentitive service was Alex, along with Freddy and Daniel making sure we had our beach chairs arranged. In the Lobby bar Jose and others provided quality drinks to go with the evening live Piano music by the multi-talented Suzie that also played in numerous places like the Rooftop, Davina Rest., pool area. Speaking of those areas in Davino rest. Roger provided excellent service, by the pool area another great employee that motivated in water sports and her charisma was Veronica. In their steak house restaurant Bocados were of course at my request we dined 3 times our dedicated server was Javier and making the table side salads was Rafael. Alvin took care of the water sports services at the beach and his service motivated many for kayaks and more. At nite when the dinner was all done and to get the best view of the night time view of the resort, we were always greated by Oscar and his crew, in which Geovany an experienced mixologist provided superb drinks.. we can't forget the breakfast crew at the buffet area and our maid Sheila that keep our room spotless.. this resort is definitely an awesome lifetime experience due to their dedication, professionalism and well trained employees, the only thing we regret was leaving.. certain things of course are mother nature's defaults but other than that, do not hesitate to book, sit back and let the great service that the Managers Jose Maria and his assistant, Gabriel and others will provide,, trust in their dedication to make it a lifetime full of excellence, dedicated, proffesional service.. we can't wait to return and do it all over again..

"Picture Perfect Resort and Experience"

Garza Blanca Cancun is brand new, with gorgeous rooms, excellent service by the friendly and professional staff, a broad range of dining options, and an exquisite spa experience at Spa Imagine. Weve been Garza Blanca members for a decade; weve been impressed by the quality of the Garza Blanca resorts, and were thrilled to elevate our membership this visit so we can enjoy even more time at their luxurious properties and keep feeling like royalty. MEALS / DINING:We were on the All-Inclusive meal plan most of our trip. We enjoyed all of the food. Breakfast at Blanca Blue featured a wonderful buffet: the French Toast is superb, they serve some well prepared fish (so good you forget that youre eating fish in the morning), omelettes made to order, and a range of fresh, local fruits, yogurts and more. I look forward daily to the coffee and non-dairy milk options, and the fresh green mixed juice. We often ordered room service, which is included with the All-Inclusive. Housekeeping came by several times a day to ensure we were set with the assortment of beverages, Nespresso pods, and snacks (again, all part of the All-Inclusive). We are several times at the Food Truck on the beach, and tried Hiroshi, Dao and Bocados on different nights, the Rooftop for a late lunch, and Blanca Blue for breakfast buffet and lunch. Some of the restaurants are only open for dinner. I believe with All-Inclusive you can dine at the connecting sister property Villa Del Palmar restaurants. We went to Villa Del Palmars Italian restaurant, Davino, one evening and loved it. Our favorite meal was Bocados, the steakhouse. Hiroshi and Bocados have large outdoor seating and with the large overhead fans we were very comfortable, despite it being August. Some evenings, live musicians played during our meal. Be sure to make reservations early as a few times we couldnt get a same-day reservation at our preferred restaurant. Under construction is a Food Hall with all-day access to different types of cuisines. At the time of this review I understand it will be open as early as mid-September.Villa Del Palmar has a small marketplace called Palmita where you can purchase essential like milk, eggs, pantry items and packaged goods, ice cream, etc. They also offer sandwiches and pizzas made to order, serve gelato Starbucks coffee.We thoroughly enjoyed the Lobby Bar - especially Jose and Diegos responsive to our drink preferences. ROOMS:We stayed two nights in a Junior Suite, and the rest of the vacation in the One-Bedroom. The below review is of the One-Bedroom. If you are in a one-bedroom or larger unit, you will have a full kitchen with the exception of a stoveonly a stovetop range. The kitchen includes a small range of cooking utensils, bowls, Pyrex dishes with lids, and basic range of silverware, glassware and plates. The kitchen includes a blender, toaster, microwave, Nespresso machine and coffee maker. One of my favorite parts about the one-bedrooms is the full size clothes washer and dryer tucked behind a sliding door. Great for if you want to pack light, or simply leave with clean clothes!One of my other favorite parts of the one-bedrooms is the massive balcony, which includes a full size table. The well-appointed living, bedroom and master bathroom include many lighting options. The living room includes a pullout sofa and a separate bathroom with shower. Theres a divider door you can close between the bedroom and living room. POOLS:There are a variety of pools to choose from. This is a property where I can roll up at noon and have a full range of pools and pool lunge chairs to select from. I loved how peaceful it was walking around the pools early in the morning and NOT seeing lounge chairs already hogged by belongings of travelers nowhere in sight. This is not that kind of resort. There are also plenty of lounge chairs on the beach. I did not see any problems with seaweed during my stay. Shout out to Alex at the pool area and pool bar for his warm personality and ensuring we always had what we needed. SPA:Spa Imagine is Divine. I had access to the hydrotherapy as part of my treatments, which included assistance from a spa attendant. It was a treat to have fresh cucumber and a cold compress on my eyes during my steam batch and hot tub experience. The space includes a sauna and cold plunge pool plus ample space for relaxing before your treatment. Iliana did an awesome job as my massage therapist! The treatment room was large and nice. Several times, I had my hair washed and blown in the salon area of the spa. The stylists did a great job! GYM / FITNESS CENTER:The gym is massive with many cardio and weight machines and range of free weights, kettle bells, weighted balls, yoga/stretching room with mats and more. Its spotless and is on the second floor with great lighting and windows. I like to exercise on vacations and it was a treat using the space since it was so nice. OPERATIONS/SALESWe had the pleasure of meeting the General Manager, Otto. We were impressed with the updates he shared about the property and what we can expect in future visitors. He spent a lot of time answering our questions and listening to our feedback. Special thanks to Shane who led us through our members update presentation and checked up on us throughout the week to ensure we were enjoying our stay. We usually attend the members updates whenever we stay at Garza Blanca resorts. This one was a zero-pressure, relaxed environment, and didnt feel anything like a sales meeting. Thanks to the entire resort staff for treating us like VIPs! We just left Garza Blanca Cancun and are already planning our next visit to this stunning resort.

This is the place to be, a Cancun experience. though my first and only experience currently. I really did enjoyed this place! Service is truly exceptional. Everyone makes you feel welcome. "Bienvenidos! " "family" "Is there anything I can help you? " " Its my pleasure to help you " while placing their right hand across their chest showing sincerity. You can even tell this with their eyes (because of their mask)You get a personal Butler, available to even send message the whole trip via app whatsapp. Our buttler was Vanessa and Damian. I cant say enough about them but they are amazing, They went above and beyond to make sure to take care of us from check in to check out. The pool is fabulous. You can tell the staff will be working really hard to serve you with your needs, from towel to drinks, foodThis Hotel is beautiful. every corner is a photo opportunity for memories. Its very clean, well maintained, Even their public bathrooms have toto toilet seat. Our own room have toto toilet seat also!the restaurants have delicious, I posted pictures and you can tell for yourself how appetizing it is. very flavorful. servers are also excellent.

My stay at Garza Blanca was beautiful from the moment we walked in to the moment we left all the staff were very friendly and super helpful I felt like a Queen they literally take care of any of your needs our personal butlers Carlos and Ray were so attentive they always made sure we had everything we needed Carlos especially made sure to help us with all of our reservations and even helped in planning a Birthday surprise for my best friend. Also the concierge Alexandra (Alex) and Erica were so sweet Alex always made sure to check in on us and she literally went above and beyond for us Im so appreciative of her without her I dont think our trip wouldve been the same. The waiters as well were wonderful some honorable mentions were Emmanuel(Davino restaurant) Miguel, and Antonio( Blanca Blue) we never had to wait long for anything the food was delicious the steak house Bocado was to die for and the Italian restaurant Davinos was great the food was very flavorful And last but not least all the bartenders were outstanding the service was very quick and efficient my favorite was Aracely she took such good care of us she really knew what she was doing she would create her on cocktails and serve it to us and they were so delicious the hotel was 10/10 definitely recommend if you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation with awesome staff and they treat you well then I recommend staying at Garza Blanca.

"Amazing Experience WILL COME BACK!!!!"

We absolutely LOVED everything about this resort. If you are Looking for a quiet resort with amazing food and attention to quality, service and details than this is the place for you. Its not on the loud crazy part of the strip which is perfect for us. The food, service and quality of everything was amazing. I dont understand the bad reviews unless the people were convinced to come for some sort of presentation. We booked because we wanted to try one or the newest resorts in Cancun. This place does not disappoint!!!!

"5 star experience"

I was in Garza Blanca earlier this month for a family wedding. The entire experience was 5 star from the moment you arrive. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are amazing and the staff was so attentive and wonderful. Giovani and the rest of the staff from the beautiful rooftop bar were so friendly and attentive. They were engaging and made sure we were having a great time.. Alex from the pool area was also so attentive and friendly. He also made sure were all good. The entire family had so much fun.

"Villa Del Palmar"

Came here with my family of 6. We had a great time. From our concierge to our pool staff. Everything was absolutely great. They are very attentive especially when you are pool side. Edgar Chan our pool waiter was always on point with our drinka and food. I would definitely look out for Edgar during you stay. He he was very attentive to our every need. We also enjoyed Benjamin, Benito and Moses as well. You will not be disappointed. Snack Bar food was pretty good and the restaurants were all good. Our favorite by far was harisho( Japanese), Davino(italian), and bocado (steak house). You will not be disappointed.

"Peaceful luxury resort in Cancun"

As soon as we walked in to this beautiful luxury resort we felt at peace in paradise. You are greeted with a cool hand towel and drinks and treated like you are a VIP guest. We checked in with Mario at the front desk and he was so very nice and helpful- also he upgraded us to a one bedroom suite at no additional charge. We then met with Ruth, very nice concierge that gave us some information about the resort and sister resort. I will update post once the stay is complete but if first impressions are everything, this resort is one of the best weve been to!

"A fantastic visit at Villa del Palmar!"

We have had a fantastic trip to Cancun because of our stay at Villa Del Palmar. The trip was made spectacular thanks to the wonderful service we experienced. Our room was maintained nicely and our drink and food service was superior. In particular, the most significant impression made was by Renan Michel. There was not one moment when he wasnt fully attentive, conversational, and pleasant. He was always looking for ways to make sure our experience was perfect, such as bringing our food and drink in a timely manner, making recommendations, and suggesting activities to enjoy during our stay. Our favorite moments while utilizing the pool and beach areas happened while he was servicing our area. We are very appreciative of his service as well as the service of the many other employees at Villa Del Palmar. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Brought my family (8 kids!! & husband) to villa del palmar.. as there are a couple things I thought I could be slightly better, overall we had a great Time and the experience was superb. We fell in love with a few of the workers.. Renan Velazco, our runner/drink extraordinaire was amazing. Its a pleasure is our new life motto, Because of him. T&T at the beach bar made our days xtra fun and was willing to capture th best family photo under th rainbow . And Oscar, our bell boy/ new amigo was so friendly and fun to talk with.

"Highly recommended"

Spent 6 nights at the resort with a family of 7. Butlers Valeria and Rafael always checked on us to make sure all our needs were met. Communication was excellent! Out by the water sports activities, Alvin and his team were so helpful and fun! Learned to Kayak, family enjoyed the the paddle boards. Nelsy and Leticia at the Village Spa were amazing! Took the Catamaran to Isla Mujeres for the day. Marco and his crew were fantastic! Kids loved the snorkeling, paddle boards, and swim. Marco was very informative and gave us great advice for our free time in Isla Mujeres. We got a mini photo shoot done by the boat photographer which was a lot of fun and for a reasonable cost. Another photographer, Manuel took our photos by the deck before boarding the catamaran and was so kind to send them digitally to us as promised. Overall, great experience. Every staff member we met treated us with respect and made us feel very welcomed. They all have great work ethic!

"Wonderful Family Experience"

Family gathering of 9 people from two different states - including grandchildren aged 15, 12, 12, and 10!! PROS: Starting with Antonio helping with reservations and his patience -- KUDOS :-) We secured the 3 bedroom waterfront ocean luxury residence -- Plenty of space for all of us and the views were beautiful. All employees were wonderful and extremely friendly. We had Santiago and OT as our butlers and they were so helpful and quick to reply to any of our needs. Carlos at the elite pool was fantastic -- he set up our family every morning with towels etc and so friendly !! Wilhem and Luis at the bar that serviced us at the infinity pool was quick to provide food and drinks as the kids were constantly ordering some kind of blended virgin cocktail!! . We were there nights and the only meal that we all thought lacked something was the American Buffet on Tuesday night!! Highly recommend Davinos and both steak houses at Garza and VDP.CONS we were told the kids could paddle board, but when we got the the area we were told they had to be 16DEFINITLEY WOULD LOVE TO RETURN TO THE PROPERTY

Great family experience from the get go, Mario assisted us with check in, ( it took a while). The room was phenomenal, myself and my three children, (not so little anymore), were very surprised by the actual size and comfort. Room service was superb. Enjoy the water activities. Aside from the chilaquiles, a highlight of our trip were the poolside activities lead by Natalia, waterpolo, volley and dance classes. Great get away.

"Currently Staying Here"

This is an edit to a previous review below. Karla, at the front desk, worked to make everything correct and get us into a proper room. She was absolutely amazing and professional in the way she handled everything. Ricardo, Bell Services, was absolutely wonderful in helping us move rooms and even stated, "If we didn't have patrons we wouldn't exist. We should be doing everything to make people happy." He was extremely helpful and attentive. Benito, pool server, was excellent! Mariana, breakfast buffet waitress at Blanca Blue, was very attentive and shared information about the menu that we were unaware of. All in all they are working to make things correct, which is much appreciated, as vacations are not cheap. The food is excellent, if you can get reservations, which are required for dinner. We are currently staying here and extremely disappointed. We were put in a room we did not pay for. The a/c does not work, the hot water does not work. The mini bar was not stocked, there are a number of things missing from the room as well. We are told if we come back tomorrow they may move us to the room we payed for and was advertised. There is a reason you pay for a room with two beds for your kids when you have opposite sex children. Completely disappointed in this place and would definitely suggest you spend your money somewhere else. We come to Mexico at least once a year and this is the worst place we have stayed in 30 years.

He calls himself Two shots, but he should call himself the best customer service ever. He just pretends he hear us order more margaritas, and he wasn't wrong.

Our recent stay at Villa Del Palmar was the best trip weve had in Cancun. The service is next level by ALL employees! Ricardo who met us at the door was so welcoming and always pleasant to talk to throughout our stay. Daniel at the front desk helped my family to find an even nicer suite, for a minimal upgrade. We were super grateful for his efforts. Every restaurant was fantastic and so many options to choose from. A few servers who went above and beyond were Roger at Davinos and Eric at Hiroshi. A big thank you to the travel shop for setting us up on some super fun excursions. They were all super helpful!Thank you for a very memorable vacation!!

"Amazing Resort"

Overall, we had a blast celebrating our parents 50th anniversary. We went with 36 guests and everybody enjoyed their vacation at the resort. Dining: we made sure to make reservations weeks in advance before we arrived. All of the restaurants we dined at were able to accommodate our large group. Our favorite restaurant was the Steak house. Davino was good and the Japanese place was ok (less rice on the sushi rolls!) We ordered from the bite bar daily as they deliver right to your pool area. It was good and convenient. Breakfast buffet is ok. Room service: food can be better but we didnt really expect much. We ordered room service daily for breakfast or midnight snacks. Get the fresh fruit daily! 50th Anniversary event: Maria and Gaby assisted us with planning the event and it turned out really good. The only thing our guests did not like is the main entre. Those who ordered the salmon all said it was salty and dry. Customer service: The servers and staff were all so friendly. No issue. Please remember to tip your servers! They work really hard to make sure you have a good time. Suite: Very nice. However my bathroom door in the living room wont close properly and some of our guests were not able to watch the live tv because of a glitch from the storm. I was surprised that they did not provide disposable toothbrush or toothpaste (make sure to pack some!)Beach: I did not attempt to go because I was in the pool the whole time. However those who did all said the ocean was dirty and too much seaweed. Pool: very nice and clean. We were at the main pool the entire time. I will definitely come back and recommend this resort to everybody! Thanks for hosting our big group and parents 50th!

"Beautiful hotel"

We have stayed at many Garza Blanca properties and this was by far the most elegant and beautiful. The rooms are immaculate and views beautiful. The staff , especially Daniel Cruz the waiter by the pool and Fernando the bartender at the pool bar went above and beyond to make me give the five star rating. There are kinks to work out as it is newer and the restaurant staff had problems seating our large group even with confirmed reservations. The food at DAO was the best at the resort but the steakhouse needs improvement and training with their staff dealing with large parties. Overall would definitely come back due to the quality of the resort and cant wait to see the service mirror that of Puerto Vallarta which has it dialed it perfectly.

Thank you to the entire staff. We enjoyed Bocados steak house so much we dinner there 2 out of 5 nights. David on the beach accommodated us with an amazing trip to Isla Mujeres that we will never forget including a saxophone player on board. Alvin gave us a lesson as first timers paddle boarding, even helped one of our girlfriends over comp her fear of being out on the water. Our final evening was an exceptional experience at the Italian restaurant with fast and efficient service with Hugo. The matre d made sure we were taken care of no empty drinks The mixologist in the main lobby made delicious drinks. Everyone made us feel so welcomed and at home with their personalized hospitality.

So dont say youll think about it or be indecisive just say NO.Its sometimes hard to get a ride into town.The restaurants are just OK.

We stayed five days and four nights at this beautiful and well maintained resort. There are five restaurants, plenty of pools and the customer service is amazing! We enjoyed breakfast at Caprichos daily and the food was delicious! As an added bonus, our room was turned twice per day. Because there are so many activities to participate in daily, you don't need to leave the resort.

The grounds are well maintained and the staff is friendly. The food is fantastic and the servers are eager to please (thank you Elias & Ana). Unfortunately the beach had a lot of seaweed which they were constantly cleaning up. But the sand was still beautiful white.

"Beautifully Perfect!"

Before leaving the U.S we got a confirmation call, we then arranged transportation and our all-inclusive package. I highly recommend planning with transportation. The hotel is rather far from the airport and you could easily pay more than needed.The hotel was beautiful! Many options for restaurants, pools, and beach spots. It is appropriate for anyone of any age, we met many families whose kids raved about the kids club! We rave about the drinks and food! Thank you to Daniel for the great check-in and check-out support, you made our trip so smooth! A big shout-out to the concierge who helped my boyfriend set up the most amazing romantic dinner on the beach, where he proposed! Villa Del Palmar will always hold a special place in our hearts, thank you to all the kind staff for your hospitality! Few notes: construction is going on in the area, which can get noisy but does not take away from the relaxation and fun you will have! It is a family hotel, meaning there is no late-night entertainment (which we loved). There are no formal quiet hours but we did notice things are quiet starting about 10 pm-8 am. If you want to go out, it is about a 25-minute taxi to "party central." Room service does have some great late-night pizza! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Villa Del Palmar to anyone who asks. It has all the things you would ever need and want.

"Pool side at Villa Del Palmar Cancun"

During our stay, as we hung out at the pool, Marcos, Bite Manager, checked in with us several times during the day to ask how was everything and if we needed anything. I did not process my first on line reservation properly. We went to dinner and did not have a reservation. The restaurant accommodated us. After making my error with the on line reservation system, Marcos confirmed my restaurant reservations during my stay. Marcos is the manager of the pool side restaurant. He exceeded my expectations. Marcos and his staff provided exceptional service. We plan on coming back next year. Muchas gracias to the employees at Villa del Palmar for a much needed relaxing vacation.

"We Love it "

Our second time at the resort! We LOVE this place. The food is amazing, atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff always ensures you are taken care of. We loved Carlos and Miguel at the Tiki bar in 2021! We found them at the Lobby bar this year. They are the best. They call us by name and make us feel at home. This year, Miguel (different Miguel) and Obed were the bartenders at the Tiki Bar. They treated us wonderfully. They also called us by name and knew just what we liked. Pool activities every day. We loved Aqua Aerobics and pool volleyball! We also tried the restaurants at Garza Blancaamazing and included in your All inclusive! Just amazing! We love Villa del Palmer and will be back again.

"Great service"

Enrique offered great service at the pool. While we were there he was always attentive and quick to get us what we wanted. Definitely the plus side of this vacation. Downside do not do the timeshare. If you go for a meeting for the stuff they offer make sure you dont buy. Once you have everything costs double. Once you have paid a ton of money for a nice vacation spot you will never have all inclusive again unless you spend a ton more.

"Amazing service"

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at this resort. On our first day we met Marcos, the head of food and beverage. The whole trip, he was beyond helpful, kind hearted and overall made our stay here better. Marcos introduced us to Eric who is the greatest server ever. He helped us with our Spanish, is beyond friendly, and a hard worker. He recommended so many tasty drinks and my boyfriend and I made sure to go back to him each day. If you ever go to this resort, definitely look for Marcos and Eric. They are both great genuine people who go above and beyond.

""Service from the bottom of their hearts""

This trip originally started off as a birthday trip with my parents and me. I have never really visited anywhere outside of the states before and honestly, didn't know what to expect, but as we drove into the entrance of the resort we were greeted by personnel that checked to make sure that we were being expected which made me feel very safe. Then once we got to the hotel we had a wonderful group help us with our car and taking our luggage to the room. We had arrived at the hotel a little early but it was no problem we were able to get our bracelets and go out to explore the beautiful hotel. They had many different areas where you could sit or swim and they also have 5 different restaurants where you can have a meal at. They even have a snack bar where they make burgers, hot wings, nachos, etc. To top it off, they have an amazing food and service crew headed by Marcos, a young man that shows amazing leadership and hospitality skills, he was more than willing to take the time to explain anything that you may have a question about. The crew that he was over was also very kind and helpful especially when it came to trying to figure out what was going to be a worthwhile experience for our stay. Azucena, Angel, Erick, and Ramos were some of our servers just to name a few. Wilberth was also very kind, I am not sure what his position was called but he was also more than willing to help and explain how the services provided worked. We also had wonderful room service from Mateo. They also have a really sweet custom where they put their hand over their hearts every time they greet you to signify that their service "comes from the bottom of their hearts." This hotel also has a lot of activities that you can participate in and a whole area for children called the "kids club" so it is super family-friendly. Overall this was probably one of the best experiences I have had at a hotel/resort. I hope to see them all again soon.

This is my 3rd visit to Villa Del Palmar and each time never feels enough. My family and I feel at home here. We love everything about this hotel. We are treated very kindly by everyone and especially by our servers Raymundo and Abel. We also met a man named Marcos who was very kind and informative to our needs and wants. My family and I recommend this hotel to anyone who is planning a trip to Cancun. This hotel knocks off every check box. From the food, to the drinks, to the spacious and clean rooms. The design of this hotel itself is breathtaking. We already cant wait to visit again. Thank you for always being so good to my family and I Villa Del Palmar!

"Amazing Service and Employees!"

It can be intimidating to visit a new country, but Marcos (right) the head of food and beverage at Villa Del Palmar, made us feel extremely comfortable from day one and remained our companion throughout our stay. He explained how the all inclusive package worked and how we can take full advantage of its perks. He introduced us to his good friend and server Eric (left) on the first day and we never looked back. We loved him so much we made sure to sit in his assigned area every day. He is friendly and attentive, and will show you a good time! He helped us with our Spanish as well and is always willing to have a chat and make you feel comfortable.Great Service and I hope to see them both again.

We had the most AMAZING family vacation ever at Graza Blanca! Huge shout out to David and Alex who made our pool side experience divine! They were so fun and helpful! They were always ready to help us when we needed water, food, or drinks. All the other staff was so kind and helpful! The pool activity team, Millie and Brallan, kept us active all day! Even my preteens were getting involved with aqua aerobics (with most of the poolside guests) and the stellar family volleyball games! I have never seen such an engaging activities team at a resort as they have here at Graza Blanca! The hotel was beautifully designed and kept immaculate, from the flora to the pools! The restaurant menus were incredible for kids and adults! Our butlers, Diana and Candido were delightful and left us a surprise anniversary treat in our room. What a PERFECT vacation!

Beautiful resort, awesome food & drinks AND marvelous butlers, Candido and Diana! The property is stunning from the grand entrance, to the modern stylish rooms with lush beds, to the many pools with comfy lounge chairs and attentive pool butlers (shout out to our fav Alex!). The butler service takes five star to five star plus! Candido and Diana made our stay so enjoyable and so easy ... they took care of all of our needs and celebrated our anniversary with champagne, cake and rose petals at the front door! Best of all was Candido's attention to our 7 year old twin grands ... welcome backpacks of goodies, coloring page competition with Mexican candy as the treat, phone calls and an evening show with balloon animals! Fernando, at Blanco Blue, was a wonderful waiter and treated the kids with a special dessert with their names written on the plate in chocolate ... that made their evening! The staff at Garza Blanca go above and beyond! Thanks to everyone for a memorable vacay! We will be back in December!

"Absolute Gorgeous Resort"

The Garza Blanca Cancun resort is absolutely stunning, the rooms are beautifully decorated & the all-inclusive is definitely the way to go at this resort! The staff is absolutely amazing, Cicileo & Diego from the lobby bar amazed me with the most diverse curated crafted cocktails!!! (ProTip: Ask for a cocktail in the smoke box)I spent most days at the swim-up pool bar and Alex was simply amazing with food and drink orders(even when I switched my location between the pools and hot tubs he always found me to deliver my drinks). Pablo is the best swim-up bartender, he can easily make 20 rainbow shots at once! There is one quick Con to call out, After every order you must sign a receipt, even if you are on the all-inclusive planI felt this as a slight annoyance as typically this is not required at all-inclusive properties. I really enjoyed my time at the GBRC and now I am curious to check out their other properties!

They brought all of the best appetizers and provided feedback on the entrees. The dessert was the highlight of the night with table side bananas foster and strawberry flambé. They also brought out all of the desserts on the menu for our group to sample. Our hostess, Xeila, got in my family of 14 last minute when we didnt have reservations.

They also have a kids club if you need a break. Drinks and food available poolside. 5 restaurants to choose from...we ate at thr steak house and Italian restaurants twice each and the Mexican restaurant once. I heard the Japanese was good so I'll definitely go next time, and yes there will a next time. Good variety at the morning buffet as well. Beautiful view from our room and the staff entertained poolside with volleyball, waterpolo and aqua arobics.

"A Wonderful Trip at the beautiful Villa del Palmar"

This was the perfect spot for our family to kick-off the summer. We decided to do a slight upgrade from our pre-pandemic Cancun vacation and it was worth-it! The food was great, significantly above average for an all-inclusive. The buffet for breakfast provides everything you could want, from Mexican Huevos rancheros, to pretty standard American fare... During our stay we had breakfast with Elias and Ana who remembered our drink orders, including our smoothies, and provided us with everything we needed. Lunch has some decent options to be consumed by the pool, or you can go to the Palapa in the middle of the resort for a little more upscale food options. But please make sure to book your dinners in the restaurants well in advance of your trip so you won't be disappointed by not being able to get in.All of the staff are friendly, speak excellent English and are accommodating. They do try to upsell additional services like the spa and excursions, but are not very pushy, they will also try to get you to sign up for a free breakfast during which they will try to sell you a timeshare ... In addition to the breakfast, this can provide you discounts on other activities, but may not be worth your time.I HIGHLY recommend bringing a bunch of singles so that you can appropriately show gratuity to the staff. It is not mandatory but throwing a dollar for each drink order and food order and perhaps a 3-5 when you sit down to eat somewhere.We brought our 7, 9 and 11 year old and did one dolphin excursion at dreams resort... It was priceless to see my kids with the Dolphins, but they tried to charge us nearly 400 for the photos they took of us. We said "no" and ended up getting the "special" price of 200... still steep but worth it for the memories, and they were very nice pictures.Aside from that we spent all 5.5 other days poolside, and playing games with THE BEST ENTERTAINMENT TEAM in Cancun. Jimena is a wonderful leader with a wry smile who will give you encouragement when you struggle, but not be afraid to harass you when you are slacking. Gabriel is a very kind and also talented volleyball and dance coach. (Na)Talia is an amazonian from Argentina who appears to have endless energy, and is super competitive (in a good way). Without these 3 our stay in Villa del Palmar would have been lacking, as they took us daily through stretching, aerobics, boot camp and volleyball and other activities.Suffice to say, when we return to Cancun, Villa del Palmar will be at the top of our list!

Our stay at Villa del Palmar was absolutely incredible. The resort is clean and safe, the rooms are beautiful and stocked with whatever you may need. There are amazing restaurants to eat at and the service is incredible. Id like to thank Victor, one of the poolside waiters for making our trip extra special. Every day, Victor was incredibly kind and accommodating to us. He constantly checked in on us, remembered our names and drinks. He made our trip better than we could have imagined. Along with Victor, Candelario, the bartender, made our trip special as well. He was always willing to create fun drinks and shots for us to drink. He also took the time to learn our names and greeted us every morning. This made us feel extra special. At breakfast every morning, Manuel H remembered our names and had coffee and juice ready for us. He went above and beyond each day and made our morning. Thanks to the staff here our stay at Villa Del Palmar was better than we could have imagined.

Wow! What can we say but thank you to all of the staff at Villa de Palmar for the best vacation ever! Hands down the finest service we have ever experienced and the resort is absolutely breathtaking! Carlos took special care of us at the Elite Residence pool and Eduardo made sure we were never without a drink or food. Santiago, our concierge took care of every detail of our stay and everything was perfect! We also indulged in the Spa services and that experience was amazing! Alberto was my masseuse and Nelsy was my husbands masseuse and it was so relaxing! Highly recommend a spa day! The people are kind and genuine and always there to make you happy and take care of your every need! I came in February of 2022 on a girls trip and we were blown away! Carlos also took care of us, along with Raul who definitely had his hands full with us girls by the pool. And Santiago was our concierge and he too was busy with us girls! And we all had a spa day and Alberto was my masseuse then too. We will be coming back to this resort at least twice a year now! Thank you Villa del Palmar for 2 amazing vacations!! See you soon!

It was amazing. We were there for 2 weeks for our honey moon. We stayed as non all inclusive guests as we had many adventures planned outside of the hotel. We were there for when a hurricane was expected to hit near by and the hotel made accommodations through room service extended hours and free channels while we were urged to stay in our rooms and gave frequent updates. The staff is very friendly and have great recommendations for food and drinks on site! Everything in the hotel was easy access and very clean!

"Couldn't have asked for a better resort!"

This resort offered amazing ocean views, spectacular food, outstanding service, as well as clean/comfortable rooms. I highly recommend the all-inclusive option.It started with our travel agent, Antonio Franco Jimenez, he was patient, helpful, and answered all of my questions. As a single mom traveling with my 3 adult sons, I had lots of questions and he definitely put my mind at ease, everything was as he promised and we had a great time.Our room butler, Rafael Patino, was top notch. He was professional, courteous, and handled all of our requests with ease. He even arranged for a large bag of white rose petals so that we could hold a private memorial for my mom on the resort's dock.Carlos, at the infinity pool, was great. Make reservations with him for the following day if you would like to sit at any of the padded lounges or chairs in his area. I think this is only for members and ocean front rooms, but I am not sure.Our favorite bartenders were Adrian and Candelareo at the tiki swing bar. All you needed to do was give them a liquor, mixer, or fruit you wanted to try and they made that into a yummy beverage!The 2-bedroom oceanfront room was beyond our dreams. The beds and pillows were so nice, we slept great every night. The hammock and hot tub on our private deck were very luxurious. The in-room laundry was great too, but remember to take a view TidePods in your luggage.The on-site restaurants; La Casona Steakhouse, Davino Italian, Zama Mexican, and Hiroshi Sushi were all delicious. I would recommend making your reservations before you leave for the resort, in case the time you want is not available when you arrive. The resort has an agreement with their sister resort next door, Garza Blanca, so included in our AI, we also ate at the Bocados Steakhouse and Blanca Blue Mexican restaurants next door. We had breakfast daily at Caprichos buffet and it had everything you would ever want for breakfast.My kids took advantage of the floating feature anchored yards from the beach, the kayaking, the paddleboarding, and many pool deck games throughout the week.When we went, a COVID test was not required to vacation in Mexico, but a negative test was required to return. They offer these at the resort for a mere $25 and the process was quick and easy.We would love to return!

"Great service at HIROSHI!"

A quick shout out to both Fernando & Thomas at HIROSHI. Extremely efficient service. Very knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. They took extra time and attention with all 3 of our kids and went out of their way to ensure food allergies were accommodated. They made our night! Thanks so much. Keep up the outstanding work!!!

"Outstanding Service - 4.5 stars"

GOODWe stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. We so appreciated being handed a cool scented towel on arrival. A lovely personal and very welcoming touch. Although our preferred room was not available on check in, we were happy with where we were moved to. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The two butlers on our floor, Josue and Ulises made us feel very welcome and taken care of. We ate mostly at Blanca Blue because their food, and especially their staff were just consistently the best. Victor, Alejandra, Deviyson and Noel went out of their way to provide warm, welcoming and excellent service. In Boca, it was Ernesto and Diana.The senior barman (sorry I forget his name - he is the only one wearing a black shirt), was fantastic. Really great, friendly service and mixes absolutely perfect cocktails. He was also very courteous and professional in how he dealt with some guests who were a bit unruly. He is emblematic of how good the staff are here.Our spa day was just incredible. We were booked for hydrotherapy, couples soul connection experience and pedicures. The hydrotherapy ladies were fantastic, as were Meyira and Victoria for massage. Meyira and Karen provided excellent pedicures. We were incredibly relaxed after!We had a late evening flight when we left, so we appreciated our check out being extended an hour and then we were allowed to just chill on property until our shuttle came to collect us. It was a really good ending to an idyllic stay.Two bell men I remember are Miguel and Ernesto - excellent service, although the bellmen are the first thing you encounter and the last. They make for a very good, lasting impression. Staff are what make this place amazing. They are all so friendly, polite and go out of their way to help you.We wanted a more tranquil sort of vacation, so were VERY happy with our choice of a property that is far away from the bustle of the Zona Hotelera.Roberto the pre-arrival concierge was so good in helping set up bookings for dinner, the spa, and airport shuttle. We arranged our pre-flight covid tests which are done on the 3rd floor on check in. NOT SO GOODThe only thing we found unpleasant, was the very heavy-handed sales pitch for the residences. Because we were not aware that we would be marketed to on arrival and asked to attend a presentation, we felt this is disingenuous approach that unnecessarily puts the hotel in a bad light. Be upfront with guests about this. Give guests the option before they arrive so that they can make a choice. Some folks I have no doubt, would want this. And some folks - like us - are just there for a hotel stay. And if we say no thank you, please respect our wishes when we say no.My husband said we would give 6 stars if not for this hassle.

Special thank you to Alexander, Arcos, and Fernando for providing excellent service throughout our 7-day vacation!

"Great vacation at Villa Del Palmar Cancun"

Our first time in Cancun and because we booked this vacation only two weeks from travelling, we had to book two locations to cover the whole week. We were at VIlla Del Palmar for four nights. Our room, the view, the hammock on the balcony were all incredible! The grounds are meticulously kept. The all inclusive meals are typical. Some are exceptional, some are just good. We didn't have a bad meal. Hiroshi had excellent sushi, but the service was fantastic. Martin was a terrific server. He was funny, entertaining, spot on with his suggestions and provided great attention to detail. Sergio at the Italian Restaurant went above and beyond. My wife and daughter had a terrific experience at the spa. From groundskeeper to bartender to housekeeping, to server, we never ran into an employee that wasn't polite, respectful, or didn't acknowledge us.

"Great resort!"

Had a great time! The food was amazing. A few areas to improve on, but the plusses outweigh the other. I am a spoiled traveler who expects excellent food and service. We did not do all inclusive and paid for all food/drinks. Where they excel: Service: Exceptional. Our favorite was Miguel at the bar near the beach side of the pool. He SPOILED us rotten! Set up a comfy spot overlooking the ocean and always remembered us and our drinks of choice. Everyone we encountered was simply awesome.Food: Sushi was superior! Highly recommend. Italian was also very good. Even the snack bar at the pool was good! We did get a breakfast and a lunch at the deli (starbucks) and those were also very very good. We heard the steak house wasnt good so we avoided it. We made all reservations before we arrived and no issues. Buffet breakfast was just ok. Room: We had a one bedroom suite and it was clean, roomy and had a huge patio. We had daily housekeeping. The pull out bed in the living area is not a couch but a murphy bed. We found this as a plus. It was the firmer of the 2 mattresses. Only complaint is there were no napkins or paper towels, odd for a room with a full kitchen. Spa: Simply amazing. Overpriced but we were ok with spending a bit on a rainy day on vacation for massages. Staff was superb.Things that could be better:Adult/bar space: There are very very few pull up a stool bar spaces anywhere on the property. The swing bar on the beach (maybe 10 seats), the one by the steak house (maybe 10 seats) and the lobby bar (not a lobby bar at all and only 2-4 low tables with 2 chairs each). 2 of these are outside so when it rains, no place to go grab a cocktail. They really need a sports bar and to put stools around the other bars on the property for visiting with other guests.Check in/out: Check In Took too long. Forced us to see the concierge to get resort map and their purpose was to book us on a tour of the resort next door (time share?). Stop wasting my time.Check out was brutal. 3 billing runs to get our resort credits correct and honestly, I still think we missed some. They need to simplify the system for resort credits. Overall all we had a great time!

Moises, the boss man, he is the hardest worker and always goes the extra mile. The Entertainment Team especially, Adrian, made water aerobics fun! Lastly, go see Adrian at the Tiki Bar on the beach.

Benito at the poolside restaurant was the first staff we met and he was so welcoming upon arrival even though they were closing in the next 20 mins we were served with a smile and no worries. We splurged on a huge room and appreciated all the special touches that gave us (our butler Raifiel was the best!. Pools weren't cold, always open, lots of hot tubs!

"2 weeks of luxury!"

Stayed for 2 weeks on our 2nd stay here. We stayed in February and could not wait to go back. Lucky to find a flight that got us into Cancun at 11:30 am. 10 minutes after getting off the plane we were outside looking for our transportation. Great to arrive on Tuesday! Arrived at GB and were met at the door and taken to the Elite check in. Our concierge, Valeria, met us there and we got checked in. Room was not quite ready so we went out to the pool area and had lunch. Room was ready very shortly. Beautiful room, 1 bedroom on the 7th floor. Davinos for supper, fabulous as usual. We ate there 3 times. I had made reservations on line for the first 7 days. After a great nights sleep we went to breakfast at Blanca Blu and had the buffet. Not a very big buffet but lots of good choices. Spent every day at the large infinity pool. Antonio and Marten were our pool concierge the first week. Excellent service. Ricardo was our concierge with Marten filling in on his day off. All 3 are wonderful but Ricardo is such a nice young man. made sure we had a cabana on the days that looked like rain or too windy for umbrellas. Cesar was our waiter the first week, we never wanted for anything. Had a variety of waiters the second week. Ate at Bocados Steak twice. Jimmy was our waiter both times, excellent service. Javier made my Caesar salad table side. Had to have it both visits it was so good. All the food was wonderful. Ate at Hiroshi with Gustavo as our waiter. He did a very nice job explaining the menu, made suggestions on what we might like, and answered our questions. We did go to Hiroshi at Villa Del Palmar as we like it also. Carlos was our waiter and brought us a special dessert for our last day. I cannot say enough about the housekeeping service. We came back to our room after breakfast and they had just started cleaning our room. We told them to go ahead and we sat on the balcony. I think they cleaned every inch of that room. WOW. The rooftop pool, bar area is amazing with stunning views. Benjamin was our waiter, great service. Candido and Diana were our butlers. Candido was usually there in the day time and came to the pool to check on us. Diana called every night. Our phones do not work in Mexico so this is how they checked on us. Nice to have a butler to help with COVID tests and transportation. Last I will comment about the poolside and restaurant musicians, such a nice touch, all are so talented. Sorry for such a long review but I could go on and on about the service. Hotel is beautiful but without the amazing people who work here it would be just a beautiful hotel.

"Best Family Vacation for 20 of us!"

Our family of 20 (ranging from young children, teenagers, adults and grandparents) recently stayed at Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun and had the best family vacation! Here are some highlights:1. The resort itself is gorgeous and 5 star on every level. 2. The service of all of the staff at every part of the resort is far and away above any in any part of the world we have stayed at. The staff go above and beyond to care for all of your needs. 3. Our pre-arrival concierge Erikka worked tirelessly to get all of our arrangements made, including dinner reservations every night. She even was able to make a couple changes that we needed. She helped us with an easy check in process, and checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. Top notch!4. Our butler Isaias was beyond helpful. He was always ready to take care of any issue we needed help with, checked to make sure all of our dinner reservations were made, helped to switched things up when we needed them. And when one of our granddaughters got hurt, he was at her side as soon as he heard to make sure she was taken care of and got all the medical attention she needed. He was phenomenal all throughout our stay in so many ways. Truly the best service we have ever experienced anywhere.5. The pool concierge were always ready to help us out and make sure we had lounge chairs together (there were 20 of us I remind you). Edson not only took great care of us on our first day, but saved chairs for us the next day with some of our personal items we were able to leave with him. The next day he was working the rooftop pool, but would come down on his breaks to check on us to make sure all of our needs were met. Then when he wasn't working, Eduardo Cortes and some of his other associates went above and beyond to take care of us all. Eduardo even provided some of his favorite salsas for us to sample, giving the chef his own family's recipes to make for us. SO good!6. The food..... The food was fantastic at every restaurant we ate at... from the snack bar, to the dinners, and even the breakfast buffet and ordering off the breakfast menus. All of the dinner restaurants rival some of the best restaurants in the world. The Hiroshi Japanese restaurant was to die for! Bocados steak was amazing, and Blanca Blue has creative authentic Mexican food, and we also ate at Davino's Italian restaurant at the sister resort, which was spectacular. Ask for the Mayan Coffee at Davino's, it will be a treat to watch the preparation, and a delight to enjoy as a dessert. 7. The only negatives were we tried to get drinks at the swim up bar and waited for over 15 minutes and no server ever came to take our drink order. They were on the other side of the bar, we could see them, but they never came so we left without getting the opportunity to enjoy a drink at the swim up bar. And we tried to order some Ceviche from the food truck and they would not give us an order to take with us to our chairs. They said we had to eat it right there, so we didn't get anything from the food truck, sadly. And we were charged for things without being told there would be a fee for them so had to get things taken off our bill when we checked out. Make sure to look over your bill before you check out. We had 3 rooms and this was an issue in 2 of the 3 rooms we had. 8. Overall, the best place we have ever stayed, and we have stayed at dozens of places all over the world. Mexico is our favorite place to go anywhere in the world for a number of reasons, especially the culture and the friendliest people we have ever had. These people are truly some of the hardest working and kindest people we have ever met. We have been to Mexico 10 times, and love Garza Blanca. We will be back again!

Beautiful resort with just about anything you could ask for, if you are looking for a relaxing and upscale getaway. The restaurants are terrific and the newer ones in Hotel Mousai (its sister hotel on the same grounds) can truly be considered fine dining. The rooms are amazing and spacious and the included activities are better than many of the paid excursions that I've done in the past. Really enjoyed our stay and will return again.

The Villa Del Palmar Cancun was a dream come true! The staff is extremely nice and generous. They make you feel like royalty! The resort is beautiful and private. The rooms are extremely nice and the balcony adds the perfect touch to relax. For kids there are a ton of activities they can participate in. The only complaint is the seaweed that washes up on the shore during April (but that can't be controlled). They work hard trying to clear it off as best as they can. The weather was perfect and it wasn't too hot so it's a good trade. We can't wait until we can go back!

"15 year anniversary at Cancun VDP"

Had the most amazing experience at Cancun Villa Del Palmar for our 15 year anniversary. Hands down the best service we've ever had at a resort or hotel, we felt like family. Angel and Marcos at the poolside snackbar were amazing, couldn't ask for better service, so attentive to our needs, especially when I sprained my ankle, brought ice and wraps for my injury to us daily and best drinks. Angel had best drink and food recommendations and kept us feeling soo pampered, he even gave us a departing souvenirs as a gift, so sweet, te amo, wanted to cry, he was the best! Adrian and Candalario at the beach tiki bar were fantastic, great service, soo much fun, delicious drinks and always so personable, it was party time there, kept checking on us and made sure we were taken care of, thank you! Such attentive employees everywhere, Pedro at front desk, all the concierge services, xiochitl, Adrian and Angeles at Spa were all top notch, so relaxing and hospitable.

"Villa Del Palmar is AMAZING!"

Everything we wanted and needed! The location was beautiful and the staff was just out of this world. We weren't looking to party just relax and not worry about anything and, this was exactly the place to do so! We started our trip with a private shuttle (we paid $25 a person per ride...so between my BF and I we paid $100 USD total to get taken to and picked up from the resort) Inside the Lobby we are greeted by Daniel and he was just the sweetest! Nancy over at the concierge desk was so helpful with all of the questions we had. They do try and get you to go to a breakfast for their newer resort but we stayed for such a short amount of time it wasn't worth it for us. They give out some pretty great discounts if you plan on staying a little longer! The resort was clean, calm, and beautiful. We ate at Zama a lot! The food is to die for, not just from Zama but the whole resort. Never had a crappy meal. The spa was very fun to enter. Tons of services and not terribly priced. My boyfriend and I ended up getting the couples treatment that included: a scrub, a wrap, and a massage. Lulu was my masseuse and her hands worked MAGIC on my back. Incredible service!!! Angel was working pool side and he was the greatest! Extremely professional, attentive, on top of his game. I'm not a big drinker and Angel made sure I had drinks that I enjoyed. Adrian at the tiki bar was also extremely attentive and made the best Pia Coladas. I cannot say enough good things about the resort and the staff. Check out Isla Mujeres! 10/10 would recommend.

This was an amazing place for vacation. The water is clear blue, the resort is located with mountains behind you and the ocean in front.We stayed in an ocean view suite that had a beautiful view of the sun setting over the ocean.We had the all inclusive package which was definitely worth it. The steak house was amazing but you have to make reservations.The staff was friendly and attentive. My only complaint is that the beach is not closed, so there were 3rd party vendors trying to sell you stuff.

"Incredible Experience"

We had an amazing time at Garza Blanca, Cancun. We were there for a full week and every day was perfection. Antonio Leon the pool concierge was the highlight of our days spent by the pool. Our pool servers Oscar, Gabriela and Jesus took such good care of us as well. Damian Silva our floor butler made sure we had what we needed in our room. Ricardo at Hiroshi waited on us twice and made sure we had top notch service - and made excellent food recommendations. Ernesto at Bocados was a fantastic server and we had a spectacular dessert presentation by the chef! Nick Hunter is our new best friend/salesman. We did go over our 90 minute presentation but it was time well spent.

This is the restaurant to not miss while vacationing at Garza Blanca. Our waiter, Luis was so exceptional we had to return a second night. His skill at choosing menu options is only surpassed by his genuine kindness. He is a star and along with chef Hedgar, disappointment is not possible.

"What an Amazing Vacation! Gorgeous Property & Amazing Customer Service"

This hotel is all about the customer experience! We originally booked at Vila Del Palmar, Cancun, which is a sister property of Garza Blanca. We love VDP, but we had the opportunity to upgrade to Garza Blanca which was quite an experience! We loved being located outside the hotel zone where it is a quieter and not so hectic, but still close enough for tours and a day trip to Isla Mujeres. First of all, our 1 BR/2BA Suite came with a butler, named Gabriel, who was amazing! He was the most caring, attentive and friendly person who couldn't do enough for us! Never et him go!!! He booked our reservations, tours, transportations and helped us to celebrate with rose petals, a warm bath and champagne and a special dessert, right in our room! This experience in and of itself, would have brought us back, but there was more! The ambience and caliber of this elegantly modern hotel, with its gorgeous pools, and a roof top infinity pool and amazing bar and restaurants was a true luxury vacation. The restaurants are amazing with deliciously fresh food and impeccable service, and a lovely selection of wines and cocktails. What makes this property do special is he service of their employees who always make you feel welcome and will go out of their way to assist. The sorgassum (seaweed) that is in Cancun is cleaned each morning by their crew on the beach, and their are kayaks and paddleboards available for free use. My husband had two massages at the beautiful spa and said they were the best he ever had! The tour company located on the property next to the store was amazing at helping us to book a tour to Chichen Itza as well as a Sunset Cruise, Our tour guide, Ricardo, was so knowledgeable and truly is an advocate for the mayan culture and people. Special thanks to our Butler, Gabriel, again, as well as our waiter, Martin at Hiroshi at Villa Del Palmar, who was the most kind and entertaining waiter ever!!! Thanks also to Kylie at the pool bar, Valentina, Bellman Derek and Leo, Alicia and Yareni at reception, shuttle driver Antonio, and our housekeeper, Magali, who lovingly cleaned up our many rose petals! Thanks also our concierge, Nancy, at Villa del Palmar who insured our welcome credits were transferred to Garza Blanca.

First of all id like to thank all the staff who were so amazing during our stay. A big thank you to Arturo who took an amazing care of us and made sure our daughter had the most amazing birthday day on Saturday. And who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed daily. The food is amazing no matter which restaurant, their food is unbeatable. So fresh and tasty. Thank you Karla for making sure we had a table at Hiroshi last night for our last dinner. And shoutout to our waiter Eduardo (I believe his name was) for being so amazing and thank you for making us laugh last night. Hiroshi is definitely our favorite restaurant. The resort is one of the cleanest weve been in. This is our second time at Garza and we always leave feeling well rested and grateful for all the staff for their hard work on keeping their guest happy. See you next year Garza

"Above our Very High Expectations"

My husband is a wine professional and I am a chef. We almost always take city vacations, but do to the pandemic, decided on an all inclusive. We were concerned that we would have average at best food, drinks and service. I am so happy to say that we were blown away.As we were checking in a huge fresh tuna was being broken down at Hiroshi. Isais, our butler was able to get us seats for that night, even at the sushi bar as we requested. Dinner was excellent and we loved how much care was going into each dish. Even if you are full, get the miso creme brulee.At the rooftop bar, we felt totally pampered. Giovany was a rockstar and the cocktails were superb. Little touches like bringing fresh fruit when it got hot were very appreciated.The Traditional menus at Blanca Blue were delicious - we loved the squash blossom taco and the duck mole.Food truck was super fun for lunches and people watching.Our ocean view suite was spacious and housekeeping was wonderful. We were so touched at decorating the room and a cute cake for our anniversary.We felt that the entire staff went out of their way to make guests feel comfortable and welcome.

"Spring break"

Very clean and well maintained. First 2days were very windy so good days to explore, take ferry out to Isla Mujeres, lots to see out there. The island has a road thats scenic and a golf cart can be rented to explore. We went at 7 am, ferry leaves mainland at 7 and 10 am, we took the early ferry and had breakfast on the island. Not crowded and good food. The larger crowds seemed to be right behind us after everything we did since most of them came over on the 10am ferry.The resort was right next to the ferry, we walked to it on the beach.Pool was nice, staff was extremely courteous, always friendly and helpful. Beach had powder like sand, very smooth to walk in. There are snorkels you can use, a big inflated water toy to play on, chairs by the beach. Pool area was well staffed, lots of chairs, still required to save a spot or there wont be one if you show up after 10. Its a huge hotel and not enough chairs for every guest. Activities and exercise daily, I got out of my chair and was glad I did. We played waterpolo after the workout and that was Fun!New hotel that just opened next door. It was also very nice and looked modern, not tropical. Kind of fancier and not what I wanted. Some guests were asked if they wanted to upgrade to that hotel that I talked to. It didnt have many people there and I would have missed the pool activities if Inhad stayed there.Restaurants were always good. Im easy to please and the buffet had plenty to choose from. If you go during peak spring break, like anytime in March, get there early to avoid waiting. We were there last two days of March and first week of April so crowds were not a problem at the restaurants.Italian restaurant everyone was telling us it was the best. I should have asked what to order. My meal was seafood and noodles and just real salty. Japanese was my favorite. We sat outside and it had a fun party type atmosphere. Sushi, sashimi, and I thought beef teriyaki was really good.Theres a nice Mexican restaurant and we missed our reservation but the buffet was good enough for dinner for me.The rooms we had, traveled with another family, were really nice. Both families had their own room, both were deluxe suites with a king bed in a bedroom and separate bathroom. Lots of space, pull down Murphy bed in main room which was comfortable, very large room, balcony facing the ocean, hammock which I sat in and could have stayed in, kitchen which we didnt use since we had all inclusive, really liked the rooms.I would go back which I have never done in my six trips to Cancun. The signing receipts for everything was a hassle but not that bad. Everything was clean and seemed like it was still pretty new even though it was built 7(?) years ago.

"Fantastic with a few flaws"

This resort is fab but wouldnt say 5*, maybe 4.5* due to some small issues that we hadnt experienced at 5* resorts we have previously stayed at.The staff at this hotel are on the whole amazing, bar a few. Tony, Ariel and Luis at the tikki beach bar really are incredible. They work incredibly hard, are super friendly and make you feel like a part of a family when you are there. After the first day they remembered our names, food and drink preferences and were just generally welcoming. They really are a credit to this resort.There were a couple of members of staff at the sports bar that werent as welcoming or friendly but we chose not to use that bar after this experience as there were 2 others to choose from and they were fab! Now, the food at this resort is unreal! I travel a lot with my family and as a couple with my husband and we tend to base our travels around food. This resort did not disappoint. Loads to choose from, lots of different cuisines and the best part is that its all made to order from a menu. No buffets, all restaurant service and with the most amazing staff. I cant stress enough that The staff here work so so hard and in the heat too. They are great! Davinos was by far our favourite for the feel of the restaurant and some of the food.Zamas food is delicious and again, the staff are so so nice.We ate at STK twice and really enjoyed our meals.Hiroshi was nice but the staff let it down a little. No smiles, long waits and when challenged about something we had ordered that wasnt what we received, they told us we were wrong that that was what we get. We had booked again during our stay but decided not to return.We had a few issues in our room that the hotel staff fixed within 20 minutes each time and were incredibly efficient and apologetic. Top marks for making us feel like we mattered and that our issues were rectified some quickly.Now one issue that I dont think they can fix is the smell/taste of the water from the taps. When you brush your teeth, have a shower or wash your clothes it isnt very pleasant. Not sure why this is but it just smells a bit drainy?! Maybe thats just how Mexican water smells but that really was the only thing that made uncomfortable within our room.The lovely ladies that clean the rooms are FANTASTIC! They are fast, professional and super friendly! Our room was always spotless and topped up every day.Now the slight issues that left a bitter taste in our mouths after a fantastic stayWe stayed until 4pm on check out day as our flight wasnt until 8pm that evening and the Staff were visibly different and stand offish with us after check out at 12. We asked for late checkout which we were happy to pay for but were told the hotel was full and that couldnt happen. We were directed to a complimentary guest lounge that the whole resort was allowed to use that had 2 showers and a sofa we could use. Not a real issue and we were grateful for the shower but the resort really wasnt full and when we walked past our room at 3pm the maids had only just gone in there so that was annoying. We also asked for an ice bucket to keep our drinks cool that we had purchased and were told that they didnt allow these around the pool even though 3 or 4 people did have them on the day and throughout our stay. The waiters actually walked past us at one point with an ice buckets and handed it to the people behind us for their drinks. We felt this was rude and unnecessary. Whats the cost of some ice to keep guests happy that have paid a lot of money to stay with you over 8 days?We ordered lunch and drinks before checkout and because we had paid at checkout and didnt tip the waiter at the pool he didnt bring our drinks for over an hour and wasnt very pleasant when I had to ask him 3 times where it was. We didnt have a nice experience after checking out. Tipping at this Hotel almost seems like a necessity to get good or great service from some members of staff. If you dont tip, they dont tend to serve you as well the next day, this particularly applies to the sports bar staff and the pool staff. Super frustrating as we had paid so much for all inclusive and had discussed that we would tip the staff that made us feel most welcome at the end of our trip. This was mainly to see who was genuinely good at their job and being friendly or just being nice for tips. That soon cancelled our a few staff members. As mentioned above, the Tikki beach bar staff were incredible and never once made us feel bad for not tipping each time we ordered a drink. That is why they got the biggest tip when we left.Other than those few points, Villa Del Palmar was really a fabulous hotel with amazing facilities and incredible people working hard to make your stay memorable. We would definitely return at some point and would recommend staying here if you have a family. We loved it. Thank you

"A British review"

All the way from the UK.Check in was slow once we were served. Took around 15 mins to get the keys. The check in person wasnt very helpful. He just gave the keys and off we went. Later on when I returned later that night, I asked about kids club and entertainment, a guy handed me a pile of papers. I asked why this wasnt handed to me at check in and he said you should go to concierge for all the info but that was never communicated to us. We had a 2 bed suite. There were 4 adults and 1 x 6 year old. The suite was well set up and so spacious. The living room was where my daughter slept on the pull down hidden bed/ The kitchen area had its own shower and toilet too, so she had her own bathroom. - it had a full kitchen. Great space and balcony.Once we checked in, my daughter wanted a last min dip in the pools before dinner. We went down at 5pm and there was not one towel in sight. I asked around 5 members of staff for a towel and they shrugged their shoulders and walked off. Not helpful. I eventually asked if I could take a shirt that they were selling on the stalls to dry my freezing cold child, then a lady appeared from the stk restaurant with a towel.Our first night, we ate in the buffet. My family are not fussy eaters at all. We eat anything but the food from this buffet was inedible. It is such a shame as the buffet lets the resort down. All the other restaurants are fantastic. More on that. There was hardly any selection of food and lots of slop. The pasta station was great and my daughter loved it - however it took me 20 mins to get served for my daughter by that time, my food had gone cold. Someone said by the pool that they waited 50 mins to be served pasta. The guy cooking was very slow. He couldnt multitask and seemed to do one dish at a time. They needed a bolognese ready to go.Key things - BOOK your dinner reservations at all the restaurants before you arrive. They get booked up. If booking at the Italian - book 15 mins before you actually want to be seated as they make you wait at the bar for 10 /15 mins. Not great when you have a hungry kid.We are from the UK and we found that there are no brits there. We loved that element.The italian restaurant had the loveliest food. Really nice and great small portions which we enjoy. Nice lighting and atmosphere. The Mexican was nice too - felt authentic - love the churros! The steak - could have been great. The steak WAS lovely food was nice. The water was served in the small plastic bottles which you get at the pool so I felt that this reduced the feeling of a nice dining experience and was more fast food vibes. Putting water in a jug would make the restaurant feel more classier. The lights are very bright here and we couldnt hear any music, just loud noise that echos everywhere. The buffet in the morning was ok - not the best iv ever had, but much better than dinner. I was able to get fresh eggs / omelettes etc. The smoothies were great and the service was good and quick. The only off putting thing from breakfast was the loud music. It was like being in an actual night club with thumping music. As a family, we were unable to have a conversation at the table as we were shouting so loud over the beats but couldnt hear each other.The kids pool was great and nicely heated to take the edge off the winds. The wind was appreciated as it was super hot and you dont realise you are burning.The staff that served throughout the day. On the first day, our server was so super lovely and friendly. We tipped her $10 tip. The next day, she refused to give us eye contact and was quite rude and tried her hardest to not hear us". I then gave her another $10 dollars on top and said sorry that was all we had yesterday, heres another 10 on top for yesterday. Then she smiled and went back to being friendly. Ramos by the pool was great, He was friendly and easy going. Always helpful and brought us whatever we needed. Benjamin was also great and he would bring us towels some days. But $20 dollar tip minimum each day is what you need to give in order to get the service the next day. There is no entertainment really at night which is a real shame as the resort would have been better if it had that option. There was a kids club facility - the staff were really friendly, but my child loved the pools and the water bridge that she was happy to play with that instead of kids club.The beach - such a shame about the seaweed, the staff try their best to clean up but it is still there. My parents stayed by the beach. The staff were friendly until the 10% tip wasnt enough for them and they were cold towards them,.The water park in the sea was fun, I loved it. The sea was Nice and warm. The food around the pool each day was fab and fresh. We couldnt fault it. Great options.The spa was amazing! My mum and I have regular treatments around the world and we thought the service, atmosphere and massage was one of the best weve tried. The 80 mins went way too quickly. I would highly recommend some treatments and going an hour before to enjoy the spa facilities. Such a treat. This was 5 star!The last night -we received an email with all the extra charges. It was over $1,000. When I went down to the desk, a lady asked if I was ready to pay I said no and I had to query a few things and asked why some charges were on there. Augustine (assistant manager) looked unbothered as if I was an inconvenience. He explained they hadnt yet removed our $140 daily allowance from the bill... Why on earth send a bill out that doesn't show the charges that are YET to be removed. Or a note to say they will be removed. What a waste of my time going through it. This then reduced the amount down to $500. I feel like if I hadnt checked the bill, they would have allowed me to pay the full amount. The last issue we had was the internet - The basic free internet was useless. We paid for 8 devices $25 per day. When you log in, you select how many days you need. We input 7 days. After a few days, the internet was not working and we phoned down and asked if they could reset the internet for us. They did, the lady was very helpful. After re-loggin in, we had to say we want internet for our remaining 4 days logged in, worked sometimes over the last few days. When I checked out. - the bill showed wifi for 7 days and 4 days. I had to explain I have been charged twice. At first they didnt believe me, after a few minutes explaining what had happened, the eventually wiped $100 off |(4 days of wifi). But no apology, it was if I was annoying him.In todays world, good high speed internet should be free.I originally found this resort on booking.com..but phoned up the resort to ask a question. Antonio who I spoke to and booked with was so helpful, I paid half of what was quoted on booking.com. if I had paid the amount via booking .com I would have been annoyed. For the amount we paid, it was ok. Being from England, we arent used to paying and tipping for every single thing. You feel like if you ask a question, you have to tip. I have stayed at the Hyatt Ziva in Cancun before and that was amazing. If you can get a cheap deal - then stay here. Food in the restaurants are great (just not the buffet) the pools are great and the rooms were great.

"Villa del palmar food service"

The food was great and cannot speak enough on the waiters who attended us William, Wilbert, Victor and Marcus. They exceeded our needs and provided great customer service. Cannot forget the amazing help we also received from Otikio, helped us with restaurant reservations and recommendations. He also assured we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was one of a kind. We will be coming back soon, as our family and kids loved it!!!

"Amazing"

We have had an amazing stay at Villa del palmar. 10 days of sunshine, great food and accommodation. The customer service really is second to none and the facilities fantastic. There are many restaurants to choose and the food really was outstanding. The bite shack restaurant and pool waiter service (Jose and William) looked after our every need during the day, Davino restaurant was a favourite in the evenings. Our overall stay was amazing value for money, we will definitely be back.

"Great Family All-Inclusive"

My family had a great trip here. The restaurants were all excellent, the food was great and the service exceptional. Alonso Fonseca Mesero at Davino was the BEST waiter in the resort 10/10 service!! The beach is nice, the water was a little rocky and of course the seaweed, which just so happens to hit that side of the Gulf of Mexico. It is not bad, kind of like thick grass clippings. The food at this place is really, really good and lots to choose from. The mixed drinks are very good as well. Could use a few other beer choices but overall a great family resort. It would be tons better if the GUESTS would follow the rules and not "hold" seats and not use them for hours on end. That is the only issue with this resort, but that type of thing happens at lots of all-inclusive resorts, the entitlement mentality of saving seats. Putting a bag, book or flip-flops on seats at 7am or 8am and then not showing up until 11 am or Noon is just rude.

"Absolutely fantastic getaway!"

My husband and I visited Garza Blanca for a short getaway from Feb. 27-March 3, and the only issue was that we couldn't stay longer.Room & Property: This hotel is gorgeous and brand-new - very high-end, with attentive design touches everywhere. There were almost too many pools to explore, and the beach was beautiful as well (although the best places to swim were near the sister property, as the water was weedy in front of the hotel - though that made for some fun fish watching!). We had a swim-up room, number 4007 which was absolutely perfect for us - nice and close to the beach, with stunning and thoughtful features in the room itself (the bathtub was fantastic, and we loved having a private pool and patio!). We never had trouble finding a great place to lounge by the pool or beach, though when we were there the hotel's occupancy was very (low which felt extra luxurious). However, I suspect it would be incredible and feel spacious even at full capacity. We missed the opening of the rooftop pool by a couple of weeks, so it looks like there are even more beautiful options for guests visiting now. I also made use of the gym on the second floor one day which was state of the art. There was some construction happening while we were there, but nothing bothersome.Food: We ate at Bocados (twice!), Hiroshi, and Blanca Blue for dinner - all were excellent, with attentive service and extremely high-quality food (comparable to the top-notch quality we'd experienced at the Garza Blanca/Hotel Mousai in Puerto Vallarta when we were there a few years ago). For lunches, our favourite place to eat was the food truck patio, and we also went to the beautiful Mexican restaurant (Zama, I think?) at the sister hotel one day. We did make dinner reservations - I'd recommend doing so especially if you want to eat on the patios; you can just do this yourself online. We ordered room service breakfast one day - it came in a reasonable amount of time and everything was good, however, they didn't bring a table and awkwardly stacked things on the tiny table on the patio which made for an uncomfortable and messy meal haha.. in the future, I hope they realize they should expect to leave a cart in the room that can be used as a table, as is done in many other hotels.. :PDrinks: Felipe at the lobby bar made us some incredible cocktails - we felt like we were at a high end bar in NYC or Toronto when he was behind the bar, and he was friendly and professional. We also had some top-notch and inventive margaritas at the food truck bar. The pool bar drinks were a bit more basic/utilitarian - some of the bartenders there seemed a little less enthusiastic than others at the resort, but it was still totally fine. We also enjoyed the beach bar at the Villa del Palmar with the swings, and one of the bartenders there went above and beyond and made me a favourite drink that I'd been craving that wasn't on the menu (a Hummingbird). Service: On the whole, we really had no major complaints - though as others have noted the service in some areas is a work in progress. For example, when we arrived although we were warmly greeted by the staff (and they were on top of booking our pre-departure covid test, even going so far as to check that we didn't want a PCR test as we were returning to Canada - the rules on that literally changed while we were there but I appreciated their thoroughness!), we were not offered a welcome drink. We were also very eager to get to our room so we could change, explore and have something to eat, but were required to chat with one of the concierges for probably 15 minutes who told us about the property and then suggested we commit to a presentation over breakfast one day about becoming a member (in return for some perks which we weren't really that interested in) - we politely declined, but it was a bit irritating as we were hungry, as our plane had not had food service (we actually mentioned that we were eager to grab some food early in our conversation, but she didn't pick up on that cue..). Finally one of the butlers (Georgina) graciously escorted us to our room, and she asked if we'd been offered a drink yet and seemed surprised when we hadn't been (she gave us some waters - and to be fair, when we arrived at our room there was a welcome bottle of sparkling wine :D ). However, aside from a few little things, the service was mostly fantastic. Cesar (I think? So sorry if I've mixed up his name!) on the beach took great care of us on multiple days, making sure we were never without a drink, and the wait staff throughout the resort's restaurants were charming and lovely. We didn't venture off the resort given how little time we had there - but we soaked up lots of sunshine, swam in the ocean and pools, read and relaxed and it was exactly what we were hoping for. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who wants to splash out on a really great resort experience where you will have absolutely everything you want and more. Thanks for the excellent (but too short!) holiday, Garza Blanca!

"Outstanding Come Back"

We left a hotel in the traditional Zona Hotelera in Cancun and tried an upgrade at Garza Blanca Cancun. This is a brand new resort. Ideally this was supposed to be the best part of our holiday and thanks to Eduardo and Paris the stay was great. We had several issues during the check in, and this is the only reason Im not giving 5 stars, however the staff showed how important their customers are.This resort has nice restaurants, amazing pools, SPA, great drinks and is family friendly. In our opinion Davinos Restaurant was the biggest Stat. With amazing pasta, appetizers and pizzas. Hugo was great and surprised us every night bringing food for the kids in advance without having to ask.We will be back soon.

"Make sure Israel is your pool server!"

Israel is the best pool wait staff Ive ever had. Honestly, he made our trip! Hes easily the best hospitality professional Ive ever encountered. Yall are so lucky to have him! Benjamin at the adult pool was also great. My advice is to rethink the music at all the pools. The live sax/keytar/trumpet is not fun. Its sounds like elevator music and no one around us enjoyed it. Play some real tunes and keep the bar open later until 1 am as advertised and everyone would be a lot happier. Also the hotel is still under construction and it really should start at 8 or 8:30 not at 7:30 every day to make everyones stay more enjoyable. Overall, Israel is the BEST!

This was one of the most amazing dinners we've had in our lives! Ricardo was so attentive to not only our order and his service, as most in Mexico would be. But he went above and beyond. Even though we had our fill of amazing food and drink he brought us this thoughtful and fantastic dessert! If you are thinking of going to Cancun, I highly recommend you stay at the Garza Blanca! And be sure to eat at Hiroshi! Hopefully you are lucky enough to get Ricardo!

"Relaxation, take a vacation"

Wow. Garza Blanca is an amazing hotel. The all inclusive package is a must! If you want to getaway and pamper yourself in the lap of luxury and delicious food, stay here. ALL staff wore masks. I felt very safe here. They required people to be masked at the buffet/food area which I also appreciated. The hotel spared no expense in the rooms. L'occitane en provance toiletries. Toilets had a fancy Toto bidet. Hammocks on the balcony. Nespresso machine in the room. There isn't much around the hotel to walk to. If you want to see the town, it's away from shopping and outside restaurants- you'll need to cab or take a bus there. This is perfect for families and people that want to escape/relax. It's very quiet after 10/11p. Hiroshi - don't miss the Hamachi sashimi and the octopus skewer. Really enjoyed dinner here. Tried to return on Wed night without a reservation but was not able to be seated even though there appeared to be plenty of tables. *consider having a wait list for walk-ins* Blanca Blue- my favorite! The shrimp timbale, fried squash blossom taco, fried octopus, short ribs were fantastic. For dessert, don't miss out in the bunelo with ice cream and berries. Maria is the best server. The breakfast buffet was also fantastic. Ask for a cappuccino and green juice. Spa Imagine- paradise! The. Best.Spa. the architecture, the service, the experience was out of this world. Got the couple's massage for 100 minutes. There is a wet and dry sauna, Jacuzzis, ice and hot teas. Gustavo was so hospitable. Rooftop- what a view! Have lunch here and enjoy the infinity pool. Shrimp or fish tacos are a must. Ask for an extra side of salsa- it's a gem. The Buffalo wings were also good. I left my cell phone and realized it about an hour later. I was so thankful the staff found it and kept it safe.Bocados- they were out of the aged dry ny strip so got the ribeye. They cook the steak exactly how you ask. Get the bocado and chimichurri sauce. The mushrooms were plain. The baked potato was tasty (yellow potato not russet). The spinach with garlic was also good. The boccado salad was nothing special. The lava cake is a must with white chocolate poured on top. The breakfast buffet at Bocados was ok. Blanca Blue breakfast buffet was better. You have to order your eggs if you want them at Bocados and we never received our order. Cappuccino was excellent.

"Garza Hiroshi Dinner"

Our family has had dinner at the Garza Hiroshi restaurant 2 nights in a row. Both nights were incredible. We were also lucky enough to be served by Ricardo (who was an excellent waiter). I would go back to this restaurant without hesitation and would ask to be seated at one of Ricardos tables. Last shout out goes to the chefs. They created delicious foodand fast. These pictures are gorgeous but, you have to taste these dishes to fully appreciate the quality.

"I give Villa del Palmar the highest ratings across the board for everything!!"

My family and I vacationed at Villa del Palmar in Cancun, Mexico over winter break. I give Villa del Palmar the highest ratings across the board for everything!! First, most important to me was that I felt safe and at Villa del Palmar we had no issues concerning our safety. Second, the place was immaculate. Everything was clean all the time. Even the restrooms in the pool area smelled fresh and clean throughout the day, every day. Third, the staff was amazing. Everyone was hard-working, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and cordial. The staff was excellent and gave top-rated service. This includes everyone from the people at the front desk, housekeeping, waitstaff, activity employees, musicians and the yoga instructor. Clearly, Villa del Palmar is highly selective with who they hire and spends a lot of time and effort training and monitoring their staff. There were no short-comings. Last, the quality of the accommodations and food was top-rated. Our room, balcony, dcor, pools, beach, spa and gym were all luxurious. The food at all the restaurants was always fresh and delicious. Everything, such as wifi, lighting, hot showers, air conditioning and elevators, worked perfectly. There is no question Villa del Palmar deserves to be a five diamond resort. I could see that at Villa del Palmar everyone works as a team, however I want to give special credit to specific employees who stood out as exceptionally gracious: Adrian in activities, Miguel and Uriel at the front desk, Ignacio Rodriguez, Cesar, Eduardo Gorgorita, Yair Garcia, Edgar Chun and Eduardo Hernandez. I am grateful that my family enjoyed a memorable vacation at Villa del Palmar.

"Incredible experience at an incredible resort!!"

Once again Villa Del Palmar abs its exceptional employees set the bar for exceptional services! This is our second time staying at Villa and will be my only place from now on! Having been to different Mexican destinations, this resort never skips a beat! We came in during the spring break and even with the resort being full the staff always above! First off, its a must to purchase the all inclusive package due to the resort being approx 30 min drive from town. The restaurants at Villa are fantastic! The one complaint is that the reservation system is lacking and needs to be overhauled! Please make reservations before you go! Do not think that there will availability because the time slots will fill up! We ate half the week at Villa and half at the sister resort Garza. I much rather preferred Villa. For example, the steakhouse at Garza was way out of sync. We had a reservation at 8pm and got done eating at 10:30pm. Yes, you heard that correctly!! Also, guests listen up, DRESS UP PLEASE! Do not come to a white table 5 star restaurant in shorts and t-shirt!!!! Yes, the staff will not turn you away but it looks distasteful! You wouldnt do this on a cruise ship so why think you can do it here?!! This is NOT your typical food line restaurant but rather top 5 star Fine dining! The food is amazing and we loved the Steak and Japanese restaurants the most! The staff at Villa are wonderful and go out of their way to make the experience exceptional! Our room fridge was stocked when we called for extras! Carlos the beach bartender was fantastic!! Jesus and the other pool/beach drink waiters are exceptional and need to be recognized! Sincere and hard working people!! I would like to see a few more cabanas on the beach but still we didnt have too much of a hard time finding lounging! As for Garza Blanca, the sister resort. It is absolutely beautiful. However, its is very modern and personally when coming to Mexico I want the feel of the palms, huts, trees and nature of Mexico! This resort is taken right out of Europe for example and does not feel local to me.., but to everyone their own! All in all, AMAZING time with great memories and awesome people! Thank you Villa Del Palmar and your staff for your exceptional service day in and out! We WILL be back again and again!! Salud!!

This was the best food that we have eaten at an all inclusive resort. All of the servers were super friendly - shout outs to Elias and Ana at the breakfast buffet. Candelario and Moses at teh pool.

"Amazing place!"

Just returned from our second trip to Villa Palmar. I cannot say enough about this resort. From the staff, to the rooms, the pool area, the beach, its a wonderful resort. We typically like to try out new places, but we loved Villa Del Palmar the first time we decided to come back for a last minute, impromptu vacation. It was even better the second time! From the moment you arrive the staff is incredible. They bend over backwards to make your stay as perfect as possible. Our first day there we were so lucky to sit in Enrique Alcudias section at the pool. Enrique is hands down the best waiter we have ever had at any resort. He was so attentive, hardworking and just so nice. We will go back just to see Enrique! And we made sure to sit in his section of the pool all 6 days were were there. The food at Villa Palmar is tremendous. We have been to a number of All Inclusives in the Caribbean and Mexico. The food at Villa Palmar is head and shoulders above them all. The poolside food at Bites is great, tons of variety from salads, sandwiches and pizza. The chips and guacamole are outstanding! Hiroshi the sushi restaurant is amazing, some of the best sushi anywhere. Zama the Mexican restaurant is so good! Room service is exceptional. The rooms are very spacious. We had a one bedroom ocean view suite. Large master bedroom with a jacuzzi tub, huge bathroom. Massive living room with a dining area, full kitchen, laundry room, another full bathroom and a Murphy bed for our two kids. The balcony is huge and has a very comfortable hammock. Do yourself a favor and book a trip to Villa Palmar. You wont be disappointed. We will be back to Villa Palmar again soon for sure!

"Excellent fun place!"

This resort is exactly what you imagine in a resort. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the staff are friendly and eager to help. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. You get you private beach, multiple pools, hot-tubs, drinking options, and spectacular views. For foreign visitors, they do in-site Covid testing as well (of course, for a fee of $15). It seemed that there are many activities for kids here as well, so if you got kids this is an option for you as well. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Cancun. The spa was very bit expensive, but again it's a touristy area so that's expected. The food was also bit pricy if you don't have all inclusive package but it was great. The free lobby bathroom however had heated seats, with automated cleaning (Plus point for me).

"Rooms and Facilities were great as well as wait staff, entertainment and management. We will not hesitate to return."

Our rooms were very nice and clean. The food was great. We enjoyed the pool and exercise activities led by Adrian he made so much fun out of volley ball, water aerobics with an extra twist and all pool exercises. We couldnt have been taken care of any better by Moses who helped set up our chairs and lounges daily with a smile and work ethic we really appreciated. The wait staff by the pool Adrian and Angel went above and beyond our every request. Our bar tending staff Carlos, Adrian and Fernando were beyond great as they took care of every request with courteousness and professionalism. We loved the experience and will definitely return and look forward to having the same staff take care of us.

"Awesome!!"

Being our first all inclusive we went into this a little skeptical about the over cost, food, service amenities etc. We expected glitches and come disappointments. Boy were we wrong. We were there the first of March for 6 nights. The service was fantastic from the moment we stepped onto he property. Our room was large, clean and wonderful. The grounds were beautiful and really well maintained. The 5 pools were just the right temp and gave us the ability to switch around. Several hot tubs and the beach was clean and awesome! Plenty of places lounge all day and the pool side service amazing. All staff was friendly, the food was amazing all day whether it was in their restaurants, at the buffet or pool side. The staff was the best part as they really made you feel special, and attended to every need and desire. We felt guilty many times about their hustle an accommodations to us. When you go take plenty of cash. They truly deserve great tips. The service on all levels in Mexico is so different and so much better from the US you won't won't to leave.

"Elite Pool staff was top notch!"

We just stayed for a week at villas del palmar. We had an amazing time and everyone on staff was great. Special shout out to Carlos and Jose Rayo Bolaina (his name tag said Luis) at the elite pool. They were amazing. Carlos was able to get us a spot each day even if we hadnt reserved in advance and was there to answer any questions we had. We had Rayo as our server for most of the week and he was kind, accommodating and made sure we werent waiting too long for refills or snacks! He even helped me with my Spanish on his stops by our seats (Ive been wanting to learn more for a while). Sometimes its the small things like that that make a difference in our experiences. We traveled mid week (Wednesday-Wednesday) and when the staff rotated at the beginning of the week we were sad that he wasnt our server anymore.Each night after dinner wed go to La Casona bar for a drink before heading back to our room. The bartenders (Raymundo Sanchez, Abel & Ariel) were great and provided fast service. This was our first stay at Villas Del Palmar but we will definitely be back, hopefully soon!

"Family Vacation"

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Del Palmar. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a positive one. Special thanks to Adrian Pat, Cesar Soberanis and Roger from the Italian restaurant. One thing that was a bit misleading was the advertisement of free snorkeling at the resort. It was free but where you could snorkel was in front of the resort and there wasn't much to see, just sand and seaweed. Other resorts we've stayed at would actually take you out to a reef to snorkel, just know to get that type of experience here you'll need to pay for the excursion.

"The staff makes this place a 5-diamond resort"

I have to start by saying that we are members of Garza Blanca, BUT, we prefer VDP Cancun over Garza. We have been here many times and our trip in February 2022 was by far the best. The staff makes this place a 5-diamond resort in our minds. The accommodations are clean, bright and comfortable. Although not new, this place has been meticulously maintained. Every time we go, and we've been going all through COVID, the staff are warm, knowledgeable and helpful. There are so many people to thank because every single person here loves their job. A few notable folks are Maria at the breakfast buffet, Caprichios, who made sure we had a table every single day, even though we had 14 people. The food is wonderful and all of the staff start the day smiling and catering to every need. Victor, Eric and Eduardo at the pool waited on us day after day, meeting every need. After several of the guys in our group went deep-sea fishing, they prepared an amazing lunch for our group that were comparable to a world-class resort. Moises checked on us every day and made sure we had what we needed. They even made a most special birthday celebration for our 2 adult sons with disabilities that brought smiles for days to come. The staff made a cake and made our sons feel so incredibly special, which in turn, made us feel so spoiled. Another gentleman by the name of Raul Rosado, Manager of all of the restaurants, was constantly present making sure everyone knew their job and was meeting the needs of every guest. So refreshing. Rafael, Member Butler, is amazing if you have the opportunity to utilize his services. If there ever was a real life "Mr. Deeds", he is it! We adore him. We enjoyed evening meals at the steak house where the staff was well trained and accommodating. Our favorite restaurant (and has been for years) is Hiroshi. Having Jose and Martine wait on us and for Adriana to greet us makes us feel like we are among friends. The food and service is second-to-none at Hiroshi. They pay such fine attention to whatever your family, group or significant other needs, and they meet the bar or exceed it. We have enjoyed many amazing celebrations at Hiroshi and we will continue to.The people really make VDP what it is. It's a feeling your get from the time you arrive to the time you are forced to say so long. Everything from the front desk staff, to the housekeeping, to the pool-side servers to the Management.....this place is special.

This resort is absolutely amazing. Still in their soft opening but the place is beautiful, extremely clean and well taken cared of! The staff is wonderful! Oscar one of our wonderful waiters at the pool made our vacation amazing! Andres our butler checked in daily to see if we needed anything! The food was wonderful and again all the staff was there to please! We had planned to get off the resort one day, but everything was so wonderful we spent our entire vacation on the resort! This place will not disappoint and once the remaining resort is opened, the rooftop adult pool and other areas you will never want to leave! I forgot to mention the rooms are so modern, beds are wonderful and the turn down service each night made you feel extra special! I could go on and on!

"Fun trip with family!"

My husband and I visited Garza Blanca with my niece and her husband. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite which was beautiful. We elected to not do AI as we rarely eat and drink enough to cover the cost. This was true again this trip. The staff were awesome. To name a few, and there were more, but these names I remember: Carlos, the bellman, prompt to get our bags to check out. Neoma our sweet housekeeper. I am sure her name is spelled wrong. Room was always cleaned promptly and sparkling clean. Turn- down service with a bedtime treat was appreciated. Around the pool, where we spent most if our time, we were served by Alex, Benjamin,Ricardo, Caser, and David. Very attentive. The food was good, we ate at both GB and Villa Del Palmer and had room service also. Food was tasty, hot, and prompt. Davinos at VDP is still our favorite. The pool areas are so nice, plenty if chairs, shade if you want. Places to have a meal if you want to sit at a table and not in your lounge chair are much appreciated. Cannot wait to go back!

"Outstanding resort and superb service...AS EXPECTED!"

My wife and I are veterans when it comes to staying at Tafer properties. Garza Blanca Cancun certainly met and exceeded our expectations. The service was as good as it always is, excellent. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay fabulous! We loved the aesthetics from the lobby, to the suites to the many restaurants and pools. The food also was consistently great! First and foremost, our Butler. Damian Silva was beyond words. He was very attention to our every need. He texted me every morning to see what we needed for the day. He would even come down and find us on the beach or at the pool to inform us that he took care of something for us, such as making arrangements to get us a suite closer to the water. He was the absolute best! We also appreciated the service on the beach and pool bars. Israel was Johnny on the spot while at the beach, making sure we had everything we needed. He was very personable. Rodolpho, I believe he was the food manager at the pools, went above and beyond to make sure my wife had food that wasn't even on the menu. More than once, he specifically had made what she wanted. Amazing service!The sales staff was awesome as well, starting with Leticia, Brezit, Trina and Mustafa. Wonderful!We highly recommend Garza Blanca and all Tafer resorts. Service is second to none! And we thank GB for making our stay fantastic!

"Definitely a trip we will remember!!"

Where do I begin!! From the second we walked into this resort everything was amazing!! The decor in the lobby is just so beautiful to look at and there are so many wonderfuldetails.. After we checked in we were greeted by our butlers.. Joaquin and Candido were just an absolute delight and were so very helpful.. on so many occasions Candido went above and beyond to accommodate us and went out of his way so many times to make my 3 year old feel special and just to put a smile on his face. They made us feel so welcomed and it was really a pleasure to have them assist us during our stay. The food at the resort was spectacular. We tried all the restaurants and one was better that the next. However our favorite was the Japanese restaurant and what made it even more amazing was the exceptional service we got from Luis Ortiz.. he was just a gem!! Everything he recommended was sóo delicious. Quality of the sushi and the fish was superb.. Highly recommend that restaurant along with the steakhouse. Just going to wrap this review up by saying how beautiful the resort it from every angle.. I know its brand new but the facility was so clean and well maintained. The pool area is just a delight to be in and look at.. so many pools at different temperatures to please everyones needs.. The drinks and food they serve by the pool are delicious and the staff is just great.. Never had to try to flag anyone down.. always checked in to see if we were doing good.. Amauri was another one of our favorites. Always on top of us making sure we were taken care of.. the staff truly made our trip that much better.. Always remember to tip and take care of these wonderful people. They all work so hard to take care of all the guests.. well deserved for every dollar we tipped them.. Cant wait to go back and make new memories!!

Back in Mar 2020 when Covid was killing travel industry we bought an all-inclusive from BookVIP. Com for 5 days at Villa Del Palmar. Amazing place... Great beachs, five restaurants with great food, sand beaches, yoga, pools. Totally what we needed to escape cold Raleigh. But absolute BEST thing about Villa Del Palmar was the staff!! From front desk/ concierge to bar staff to housekeeping... Each one was super friendly, helpful and so humble. We did go through the 3 hour tour and hard sell to join redidence club, but worth it.

"Stellar!"

Let me start by saying there was NOTHING negative! From Check in to check out, service, food, facilities, amenities, everything was excellent. I have been here a few times, and cannot say enough good things. We stayed in a full villa suite with 6 people total. Fantastic room, with a stocked kitchen and fridge. Stunning views. Hammocks on the balcony. Everywhere was impressively clean, Including one of the restaurants kitchen. Every staff member we encountered we smiling and ultra friendly. The detailed service from all of them was stellar. If your go, PLEASE use the spa. If you dont get a service, you can purchase a day pass. Its the most beautiful spa I have experienced, and I ALWAYS use the resorts spas. Steam, cold plunge, jacuzzi, and such attentive service. 5 of us all had amazing massages. Gustavo attended to all of us wonderfully. We all cant wait to return.

"Great Resort with Great Staff"

I stayed here with my girlfriend and parents. We had the all inclusive package and ate at each of the restaurants at least once. The staff was always really kind and helpful. My girlfriend has Celiac as well as a nuts allergy. The allergen labeling was good but not perfect, especially in the buffet, but what more than made up for that was how knowledgeable and dilligent ALL of our servers were when we asked about what foods she could eat. Most of them even consulted with the chefs and had a special meal made in a couple cases.One staff member in particular, Héctor López, was was so hospitable he made a real impression on us. Although I'm sure he interacted with hundreds of guests a day, he remembered my family each time we saw him and on the last day even put on a special show for us, making some off-menu flaming boozy coffee. Thanks for helping to make our stay at Villa del Palmer great Héctor! We'll definitely come back.

This evening I had reserved seating for a party of 4 at Davinos. It was for my wife's birthday and I went in early to review options w the restaurant manager. We preselected the wine, seating area and of course the food. Roger was assigned to take care of us.He hit it out of the park! The appetizers from octopus to scallops were outstanding. The balsamic/ olive oil w parmesan cheese dip mouth watering. But I was not prepared for how good the bread would be...damn.My wife had grouper and I had lamb chops. Both were seasoned perfectly.

"Wow Wow and More Wow!"

From the booking to the leaving you are treated like an Allstar! We were picked up at the airport and driven to the resort by our own private driver. Sophia our concierge welcomed us with a warm smile a glass of wine. She had our bags delivered to our room made some great suggestions on excursions, we may want to do and was very helpful. We stayed 7 days, ate at every restaurant and was not disappointed by a single meal!. Even room service was spot on. We spent every morning starting with breakfast and being served by Jorge, Oliver and Elias, they were so enjoyable and kind and knew exactly what we drank each am. Then we enjoyed a Pina Colada and chatting it up at the tiki beach bar, yes this was an everyday thing ( we were on a girls vacation) When I say Roberto Ruiz, Alan Flores, and Luis Diaz were the best bartenders you will ever have that would be an understatement. We had so many laughs with them and they just made the start to each day more enjoyable. We would pop back in throughout the day to make sure they were still having fun. They took such pride in working there and it really showed. A+++++++ service! The pools are clean and refreshing the ocean is incredible and the shore is dredged twice a day or more if needed so the beach is probably one of the cleanest I've ever been to and I live on the beach in Florida West coast so that is saying a lot. There is always plenty of room at both with choices to stay in the shade or sun. They must clean the place constantly as it was sparkling clean at all times.Every employee is just so welcoming. If you see the Handsome Fernando from the spa take him up on an amazing spa experience! Make sure you do the steam room and the dips in the cold, Hot, warm Jacuzzis. A few more shout outs to Hector from Hiroshima who after one day remembered I was allergic to LIME and made sure none was in my drink or food. Martin from the same place who gave excellent service and full of energy.Our trip was overall one of the best as it always is when we visit here.Definitely recommend the Zipline ATV and Swim hole excursion by Selvatica. They were so fun and also enjoyed their jobs and was a total great time! Thank you to Everyone at Villa Del Palmar Cancun for a trip full of lifetime memories! We will be back!

Villa Del Palmar was a great choice for our winter getaway. The room was very clean and was maintained very well everyday. The service was always excellent. Staff always smiled and greeted you throughout the resort. We had excellent service at each restaurant that we dined at. Jose Canche took amazing care for us everyday while sitting at the pool. We would just get settled in our chairs and he was there with a bucket full of ice with waters and Corona light for us. He checked on us continually and always seem to know when it was time for lunch by the pool. He recommended some great food for us to try such as the grilled shrimp.

The staff by the pool was incredible as they laid out our towels for us every day and made sure everything was taken care of. Ariel was our butler and made accommodations for us every day. The 50 minute massage is also AMAZING. I cant stress enough how amazing the staff was here at Garza Blanca. They made us feel right at home.

"Amazing Stay in our one bedroom apartment - perfect rooms with sea view, tasty food and a great service"

We have just returned from a 10 night break and we stayed in Garza Blance for 8 nights - it has been so perfect. From the front desk service (Chris who took care of us from day to the end of our trip) and to pools, Spa and the food has been so perfect and amazing - just what we needed. The food in Hiroshi had so many Vegetarian options, and it was perfectly cooked and served with friendly staff. Our special thanks goes to Chef Maria and the waiter Zurisadal. Similarly the Blana Blue restaurant was cooked so superb, the chef specials were mind blowing - our preference was to have spicy mexican food and the chefs made every effort to provide us that. Special thanks goes to the Vanessa (the hostess) and the waiteres Roberto etc. As we are vegetarians, the team took a lot of time to make special food - highly recommend asking for Chef Specials for the Breakfast rather than getting a buffet or ordering from the menu. Absolutely delicious specials were avilable but you have to request these separately. In terms of pool, and Jacuizzis - there were quite a few places to relax and they weren't croweded. Actually there was a wedding over the weekend and we noticed a few famiies with kids and it was a little busy and noisy those period. The team around the pool was so friendly and provided the right serivce. Our special thanks goes to Ricordo, Roberto, Israel and our butler Candido. From day 1, Candido ensured we had everything we needed in the resort (from sorting the kitchen supplies, lunch etc) and helped us to plan for the tour dates and spa dates. Thanks Candido for making our stay a rememberable one. We will defo be going back there, highly recommed joining Veena (yoga teacher) at 9am near the pier. I found Veena to be highly skilled, a professional yoga teacher who pratciced yoga with us for an hour every morning. Also, we go some discounted prices for the Couples massage which we both thoroughly enjoyed, Ileyana and Kate was superb, thanks guys. the spa setting is done so well, well worth a visit.

"Hiroshi Restaurant"

We enjoyed our time here at Hiroshi Restaurant! First of all, the hostess Priscilla was so welcoming and kind! The waiters here are so wonderful- paying attention to every detail To ensure that we are happy with our dinner! The food was delicious! The dessert here was absolutely amazing! The manager Karla was observing from the side and even noticed when our kids were struggling with the Chop sticks, she came over and offered the baby chopsticks for them! She was very much on top of her staff and ensured everyone was properly executing their work! Our waiter Porfirio was really wonderful and took care of our dietary restrictions! We highly recommend coming here!

I think this is one of the best get-a-ways we have had in years. I can hardly wait to return. Hiroshi, the Japanese Restaurant, provided outstanding food and even better service, thank you Porfirio for your perfect suggestions.

"Amazing 50th birthday celebration"

This was our second visit to GB Cancun. The staff and the attention to detail at this property exceeded our every expectation. I celebrated my 50th birthday and prior to coming all we asked was that day be special. I was blown away by all the little things the staff did the entire week to make it a memorable experience.Our butler Ariel was a pleasure to work with, she took care of all our dinner reservations, came to check in us everyday, arranged a special meal in our room one night. Chef Thomas, and Arturo from Blanca Blue made an outstanding meal.Ricardo at the pool remembered us from our previous visit and arranged our spot for us at the pool everyday. On the day of my birthday he had decorated our lounge chairs with balloons as a suprise, and brought me chocolate covered strawberries. We looked forward to seeing him everyday, missed him on day off. He really went out of his way to make us feel at home. Ceazer our pool waiter was always attentive to whatever we needed, even if he was in a different area he always made it a point to stop by and see how we where doing. David arranged a beach dinner on our last night and Alex the Grill chef made an excellent meal of lobster, salmon, and steak. Juan at the swim up bar made us excellent drinks and had a way of bringing the crowd around the bar together as one. He always had us laughing.Juan at the lobby bar WOWED us with his smoking rosemary drinks. We visit every night and told him to suprise us with a drink. He had a different drink for us everytime and each exceeded the first. Carlos our bell hop was equally amazing. He was a pleasure and my husband was impressed that he could speak Italian. Hiroshi was our favorite restaurant and we visited twice. Our waiter was the absolute best I wish I could remember his name. Ortitiz maybe?? (He was a bald guy)Bocados was great as well and the service there was great as well.Overall it was a great trip. We can't wait to go back and see our new resort family.

"Butler Services"

We have been a part of the Garza Blanca for the past year and with Villa del Palmar before that. The Garza is a beautiful new resort. The building layout and prestigious indoor decor exhibits the Garza's elegant atmosphere. The pools, restaurants and the evening lighting ambiance all make the resort even more relaxing and remarkable. However, what makes the Garza experience even moreso impressive is the staff. The staff from the front desk to housekeeping to wait staff are always so pleasant and happy to serve. Everyone has smiles and their customer service skills are unlike any other place we have stayed.We have had butler services each time we have stayed at the Garza. Our first butler services were provided by Ariel. She is amazing, professional and very courteous. Ariel checked in with us multiple times a day to be sure all our needs were met accordingly. Ariel is always willing to go beyond her duties to be sure our stay is satisfactory and meets, even exceeds, our expectation. Because of her excellent customer service skills and professionalism, we always request Ariel for our butler services. We suggest if you'll be staying at the Garza, you should put a request in for Ariel to provide butler services. You will not be disappointed!

"Birthday Celebration"

Beautiful resort located away from downtown and the hotel zone. Hiroshi has great sushi and the restaurant manager Gabriel helped set things up for our large party (16) doing a family style meal. Restaurant manager Amr at VDP arranged for a couple of amazing meals at Zama and Davinos. Chef Oscar at Zama prepared us an amazing meal and we were served by our favorite waiter, Enrique, who has been serving us there for over 8 years and always with perfect service. Chef Fabian and his staff at Davinos prepared and served some amazing meals for us. Carlos, the Elite pool concierge always takes great care of us by the pool and makes every day special. The waiter for pool service, Enrique, kept us from being thirsty without missing a beat. Our butler, Rene (along with Damian and Jaquin) went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were taken care of. A special thanks goes to Lulu, the elite members concierge who went above and beyond when a member of our party had a medical emergency. She was just amazing in what she did for us when our Garza concierge was not available. There are so many amazing people at the resort it made my birthday extra special.

"It's all about the staff!"

Weve stayed at Garza Blanca in other locations, so we know how wonderful the experience is at a Tafer resort. The design, accommodations, and amenities are always spectacular, and the same is true of the new Cancun site. Keep in mind, there is still construction going on- it wasnt significant enough to bother us. Every single meal was consistently delicious- without a doubt, you will be impressed with the quality of food and drinks. There are currently 3 restaurants right on site- 2 more are in progress. However, the staff is what really makes the Garza Blanca experience exceptional. Some who deserve thanks for their exceptional hospitality are:At Bocados: Chef Isai, Erika, Luis Felipe and Javier gave us an amazing dinner experience, including the best steak Ive ever eaten. Then Ernesto, Alex and Luis nailed it again with strawberries flambe made tableside. Ruben, the manager, did everything to ensure our complete happiness.At the lobby bar: Julio, Diego, Angel, Cecilio, and Felipe amazed us with an endless number of custom cocktail creations and great conversations! Its wild to see how much Spanglish you can speak after a few drinks!At Hiroshi: Karla, Priscila, Zuri, Maria, and Francisco were so lovely, we came back 3 times! At the pools: Benjamin, David, Izmael and Ricardo kept the mezcal flowing and the Baja tacos coming!We will absolutely be back to visit our new friends in Cancun!

"We love Villa Del Palmar Cancun"

We have been visiting since 2016 for my 50th birthday. Every trip has been memorable. This time we stayed at Garza Blanca, but we were able to visit all of the VDP amenities as well. Cesar in Carpachio's is so full of joy and fun. What a great treat to have him as a server. The food is predictable which is great because it is good and fresh. We always visit the Village Spa as well and there was no disappointment at all! Victoria offered wonderful services for both a massage and a facial. Would like to see the locker room upgraded, but the experience was fantastic nonetheless. Adrian and Oeliander at Davino bar also are great! Such fun they have! They even remembered us from a year ago! We are owners so maybe we are a bit prejudiced, but we love coming back to VDP/GB Cancun. :)

"Great stay with the kids !"

We are a family of 4 travelling from Denmark with 2 kids of 5 and 8.We booked this resort for the kids club and we were not disappointed! , the ladies on the kids club were amazing , very organized and creative! My youngest spend all day there and my eldest was very into the videogames, when allowed. At noon all the kids move to either the pool or the beach , they have a system to ensure all the kids are counted and have fun, i was very impressed with their organization. Overall the room was nice and clean , but one of our beds was old and broken , we contacted the room service and concierge several times and only after 3 days and 2 reminders they fixed it , could have been better ....Service was good but very "american" so waiter are always keen to help if you leave a tip ... we were on the all inclusive package and this already included 14% tips, so we only left tips on exceptional services, which were quite few.Breakfast was nice but some fresh basic things were missing , like fresh bread (like baguette ) or butter (they have an industrial margarine that tasted quite bad ) , sometimes yogurt was finished and not refilled and juice tasted like from a box ...aside from that breakfast was nice .for lunch you have a Mexican restaurant (which we liked ) and a fast food restaurant with typical pizza, sandwich , hot dogs... so after 10 days of eating the same we were very bored .... we were missing some pasta or rice at least ! Also , Icecream was not part of any meal at all ..On Christimas day my son got stomach sick and we were looking for a doctor, in Europe normally there is a general doctor on the resort to help you, in here the doctor cost 167 USD ! just for the consultation ! so be careful not to get sick as it is quite pricey ! fortunately he got better the next day.the doctor office is now the covid test center, which is set at a reasonable price , normally opens at 8 am but on new year they arrived at 930 am and they didnt even apologized for the delay, there was a huge queue.The restaurants at dinner were nice , you could choose between:Japanese: sushi was quite limited so this was more like an general asian restaurant, it was very very loud so we avoid it Steak, this was an excellent restaurant , we totally loved it and it was the only one where the waiter was proactive enough to bring us a menu for kids (we didnt knew they had!) Italian , this was very good , with a nice enviromentmexican, it was also good but a bit limited. Overall a good experience , specially for the kids club, but i am not amazed by it , also the concierge team gave us wrong information twice and shoot out a lot of mails before the trip. The two times i asked them for questions they either did not bother to answer or didnt knew...i wanted to extend my stay one day and they daid sales handled that and gave me a number to US, i told them i was in europe and i needed a mail to contact them but they never answered back ... they are more focused on selling extra services for the hotel ... so just avoid them !

"Fun First Time All Inclusive Experience"

My family stayed here over New Years ad we really enjoyed it. It was my husband, toddler, and baby. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. Very comfortable bed. We enjoyed eating in the restaurants (though I would say the food is, for the most part, mediocre). The vibe here is greant... super relaxing and the staff is immensely accommodating. I have a few points to share that might be helpful.~People "save" chairs and daybeds in the morning. By 8am pretty much all the chairs have been claimed. This is annoying. If you can't beat em, join em? We didn't know this the first day and ended up with just 1 lounge chair, which was actually fine since the kids don't sit still. And it did seem staff tried to help move chairs around and get people accommodated but we found this off putting.~There is a nice flower shaped pool that is very pleasantly warm. We loved swimming in the with the kids. The big pools - which are beautiful - were too cold for me to swim. My husband and toddler swam but if not the heat of the day, my daughter would be shivering. I wish the pools were heated more. The ocean is a pleasant temp.~No straws are provided, that is totally fine. But I should've brought one of our metal straws for cocktail sipping. ~I thought tips were included and wasn't worried about that but then I felt weird getting checks for everything and not knowing if I should tip. If I do something like this again I will come prepared with lots of small bills. ~We requested a pack n play, even called and reminded. But there wasn't one in our room and after asking 4-5 times, we never got one. I guess they were all in use but I didn't even feel there were that many young kids at the resort. They said it was based on availability. So the first night our baby slept with us. Not ideal as I am not used to bed sharing and it made me nervous. I was very surprised to not receive a pack n play. After asking a few more times I finally got one the next day. It was also often hard to get 2 high chairs.~We loved eating lunch at the Zama restaurant at the pool. Nice atmosphere and good food/drinks.~My daughter got her hair braided on site at the hotel and that was great, she loved it.~I loved the kid size bath robes in the room.Overall we really enjoyed this stay and experience. We enjoyed 3 nights before a weeklong stay with extended family at a rental house and that was perfect for us.

"Wonderful hotel for families - clean, spacious/comfortable, and safe"

Having lived in the Caribbean, I have been to a lot of beach resorts. For me, this one was pretty good overall. Is it perfect for everyone? Probably not (if you are a young partier and want to be in the heart of Cancun, this isn't for you). But, I really liked it. First, I found the rooms to be very spacious and comfortable. The beds/pillows/towels/etc. were excellent. Also, they have a hammock on the balcony that allows you to really relax by the ocean.Our room was a 6th floor oceanview 1 bedroom suite -- highly recommended. With this option, there was a master bed, couch, murphy bed, kitchen, and washer/dryer (awesome if you're getting dirty on the beach or exploring!). This allowed our family a lot of room to spread out. The housekeeping was very attentive. Every day, they will clean the room and return at night to see if you need anything extra (coffee, water, etc.). Super nice.They have a lot of pools on the property including one with a waterfall bridge that kids will enjoy. While there are not waterslides and more extravagant water features, it was pretty nice overall. The kids liked exploring. The beach offers kayaking and has a large inflatable floaty in the ocean. Kids can swim out to it and have fun climbing and jumping (they provide life jackets). Restaurants: Zama and Caprichos were the ones we tried. We didn't pay for all inclusive. Why? Because we are not the types of people who stay at the resort all the time. We are likely to be out 30-100% of the day and aren't big drinkers. So, that means missing meals and drinks that "all inclusive" prices in. Thus, I found it better to just pay "ala carte" for meals. Yes -- it is expensive. But, if you do the math, you may save money this way even paying full price. (1) Caprichos: Very good buffet restaurant. Huge variety of foods at breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was probably the most extensive you can imagine -- everything and anything was there. Super good. For New Years Eve, we did their buffet. It was even more than what we saw on a "normal day." Just eye-popping and very extravagant foods. You will see Mexican specialties and regular things too.(2) Zama: This is a more casual Mexican open near all the pools. Dinner menu was better than the lunch one. Chicken Mole was fantastic. Likewise, enjoyed their appetizers and drinks. Highly recommended. Pricing was okay for a resort. (3) Minimart/Shop in resort: Expensive. But, decent option if you need something. If you want to save money, walk out of the resort gate and a few feet away is a very nice Shell station. They have almost the same stuff at 1/2 the price. They offer COVID-19 testing at the resort. But, I also saw it all over the place in Mexico. Even the ferry terminal had a place. Anyway, we did the test at the resort. Schedule it when you check in. Then, on the day of the test, pay early to avoid the lines. Test went very smooth. Have no fear - they didn't ram the q-tip into your sinuses!Pros:1) Nice spacious room2) Away from hotel zone -- so MUCH more peaceful (and probably safer) than other parts of Cancun. Probably better for families and not party people.3) Clean / Chill atmosphere.4) Good food and service.5) Can arrange tours, activities, airport transfers.Cons:1) Beach isn't the most beautiful one in the area. I'd say it is average.2) Away from "true" Cancun (if that matters to you).3) Had a "check out" pass paper that you have to hand to the bellhops when leaving. I lost the paper and had to get a new one. Just seemed like a weird procedure.Overall service at the resort was excellent. We didn't have any issues during our stay and they were helpful. Would definitely go back!

"Good hotel for families"

The hotel is very large but you do not feel crowded. The room was very clean and is equipped with a microwave and coffee machine. I particularly enjoyed the balcony hamock. It has three pools and two jacuzzis. However, the pools were too cold. Pool service was excellent. Moreover the breakfast buffet is overpriced at 650 pesos per adult! I also had difficulty when checking in as the hotel could not find my paid reservation.

"Thanks for resolving the booking reservation issue"

Update: We posted the below review few days back regarding our booking reservation. The next day VDP general manager (Juan) reached to us and refunded the full amount. Thank you so much for quickly looking into our issue and resolving it. Really appreciate your help. We will definitely visit VDP this year :). Updated the rating to 5!! Also thanks to tripadvisor for providing a platform to post reviews which are helpful for others in planning their trips and also in resolving issues with hotels.First Review:We booked this resort after reading rave reviews about this resort and a paid lot of $$ and booked it during Christmas break of 2021. Due to some unavoidable reasons (my daughter was exposed to covid at school and we were worried what if she tests positive while in cancun and we cannot return to united states and we dont want to quarantine in cancum for 10 days), we wanted to postpone/reschedule (not cancel) our reservation to 2022. But the reservations department were not willing to 'reschedule' it and we did not get a single penny back and lost thousands of dollars. I would not recommend this resort to anyone. They should have been little considerate during these pandemic times regarding rescheduling our reservation, as we were travelling with small kids.

"Wedding at Villa De Palmar Cancun"

I dont really write reviews, however, my experience at Villa de Palmar was extra special since it was a very memorable event I just had to share my experience. My wedding was perfect! My wedding coordinator Gabby Uribe made it so effortless and made everything go so smoothly. My family and guest loved the resort so much too that they plan to revisit again. The staff are so friendly and attentive, they always make everyone feel welcome. The restaurants are amazing and the food is delicious! My wedding went beautifully thanks to the amazing vendors that work with Villa de Palmar. Andrea from Eventos VanGogh created the perfect beach ceremony ji and reception from the flowers to the linens and decorations, it all came together beautifully. The catering staff and manager did such an amazing job being attentive to my guests and the food was delicious. I am so grateful for our great Photograher Oscar who captured the the most memorable moments of my wedding, he took amazing pictures and I loved the album! I would recommend to anyone looking to have a destination wedding in Cancun to consider Villa de Palmar, theyll have a beautiful experience.

"Best resort ever!"

"Christmas Break 2021"

Our family had the best visit to Cancun at the Villa del Palmar! The food was wonderful and the way we were taken care of was incredible! Everyday Benny helped our group of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids) get set up at the perfect poolside spot, while Angel kept our glasses and bellies fullmy 3 sons may never be as doted on again Highly recommend!

"Very good and should get better"

This is a very good hotel. The pools are great. The staff are super friendly. The hotel is going through a soft opening so there is some construction ongoing. No big deal but there are some construction noises. The food in every restaurant we tried was very good. The rooms are well laid out. The hotel does have a few teething problems - long check in process, time to change incorrect billing, delays in getting a few room deliveries. The bedroom pillows are not that comfortable. The hotel is very good and will get better.

"Perfect Trip"

We have stayed at several resorts in Cancun and this resort was by far the best for a few reasons. First of all, the food was great! Often times the food at these resorts is not great but that was not the case here. The employees of the resort are what make this resort so amazing. The resort has pool attendants such as Ronaldo who made sure we always had any needs met related to the pool. Lena was the bartender on staff and was always crafting up new drinks The waiters such as Alejandro were so attentive and were quick to make sure you always had a drink or food in hand. I also loved that you could order lunch at your seat by the pool and they had tables around if you preferred to eat it at a table. The resort grounds were beautiful, they are still under construction in some areas but overall they were beautiful. The rooms were gorgeous! The best part was probably the heated toilets! Last of all our butler Rene was so attentive and made sure we wanted for nothing! We will be back to this resort in the near future!

"Fantastic pools--very unique"

This hotel has the best collection of swimming pools I have ever experienced. The several jacuzzis were great too. I loved the individual butler available. We loved the balcony with ocean view and hammock. Food selections were very good. Liked being able to go to the attached Villa des Palmas hotel next door for Starbucks, sundry store, and more food options. Need to tighten up on some of the restaurants --taking orders and delivering hot food were not always connected resulting in cold food. Otherwise food quality and service were excellent. Needed to have entertainment options as existed at next door hotel. Weirdest thing was a shower with a glass door that would make one visible to the other side of the hotel balconies unless you pulled dark curtains. There was no bathroom door at all --did like having a separate watercloset with a frosted door and a great bidet. These bidets were also in all the public bathrooms too. Would go back when they finish construction and have a rooftop infinity pool. Prearranged pick up and return service to the airport was excellent and timely. The COVID antigen test was available and the results were supposed to be reported within an hour. We had a scare because we had not gotten results over 18 hours later, resulting in a restless night. Turned out to be an internet problem that we could not straighten out till a few hours before departure! The problem seems to have been with the company doing the tests.

"Beautiful Hotel, Delicious Food, Friendly Staff - Overall Amazing Stay"

Staff - Attentive, warm, welcoming, and funny! They made our stay that much better. I am terrible with names, but the server at Garza Blanca's Hiroshi who speaks Japanese was just the best. So were the servers at Blanca Blue (all meals) and the Lobby Bar. The aqua aerobics instructor was awesome too!Food - All of the food at Garza Blanca was excellent!! Only thing was Hiroshi's sushi rice did need more vinegar. At the sister hotel, Zama and Davino were great. But avoid Hiroshi at the sister hotel, it wasn't good.Drinks - Good indoors, ok outdoors. Real cocktails at the lobby bar and Blanca Blue, which were great. The bars by the pool don't make the drinks that the indoor bars make, and not strong.Paying for food and drinks - After eating or drinking anything, you need to close out your tab, even if you have the all inclusive option. It was a bit annoying.Rooms - Beautiful and clean. Tub was large and deep. All toilet seats in the hotel are heated.Balcony - Good views (ocean view), but chairs are not that comfortable. Even so, it was relaxing.Pool - Beautiful and ample seating. It does close early at 8pm. Aqua aerobics at the sister hotel was fun.Beach - Not great. You wont get the beautiful blue green water at the hotel zone. A lot of seaweed, but they do try to clean it up often. I didnt see many people at the beach area.Covid testing - The on-site (at sister hotel) testing was really convenient and good price. $20USD for rapid testing. Fast results.

"Amazing Hospitality"

We stayed at the resort before it was fully completed. So, there are things that obviously still need to be worked out before they are fully open. But in lieu of that, the service we got was AMAZING!!! Alex, Benjamin, Marcia and David were lovely to deal with at the pool and Gina, our "butler," was very accommodating and attentive. We won't hesitate to go back!!

"Outstanding Cancun resort"

I thoroughly enjoyed taking my family of seven to Villa Del Palmer Cancun resort. This was our fourth trip to the resort and wont be our last. The staff is outstanding. Our butlers Oscar and Otikio saw to our every need. The in room dining experience led by Mario and the head chef of the hotel deserves a Michelin star star! . All the restaurants were first rate with outstanding cuisine and impeccable service. Divino, the Italian restaurant, would make my Italian grandmother proud. Gorgeous setting with a wonderful private beach. Feel free to enjoy multiple beach activities or just chill by one of the multiple tranquil pools supervised by Carlos or Wiliam and enjoy outstanding beverage and food service which will exceed the expectations of any all inclusive resort. The truly exceptional aspect of this resort is the culture of the staff. They are professional yet warm. Your satisfaction and enjoyment is their heartfelt goal. The last staff member to serve us was Fernando who gave me some insight into the mindset of the staff. Apparently the staff talk amongst themselves and share their experiences with guests and feel a great sense of pride when guests have an exceptional experience. Their commitment is palpable and deserves praise. .

"Wonderful"

We could not have been more pleased. The room was great, the grounds were impeccable, and the beach was perfect. Staff was very nice. Food was great which was a pleasant surprise. A little annoying that with the all inclusive package you had to sign for everything but all in all, not a big deal. Covid testing was a cinch. Special shout out to our personal butler Rafael and head butler Oscar. They made sure to find us whenever they needed to relay any info and it was easy to get in contact with them when needed. Another special shout out to Enrique, Carlos and William, who made sure that we were never short on drinks or eats. And Carlos always had our chairs and daybeds ready to go. Enrique might be the happiest person Ive ever met and even when he was working in another area, he made sure to say hi and ask if we needed anything whenever he saw us. Went with our kids (ages 6-26) and everyone was pleased with the trip. A few tips - building 1 gets the most sun on the balconies in the evening and that side of the pool has sun for the longest period. And if you like sushi, the Japanese restaurant does not let you down. At the steakhouse the cuts on the regular menu are just as good as the choices on the additional charge menu. Would definitely go back.

The resort was less lively during my recent visit. No Aqua Zumba or Tabata classes, and only one night show during the week. Pretty quiet!

"Wonderful Family Vacation Enabled by Great Staff & a Gorgeous Resort"

The hotel and grounds are gorgeous. The grounds are perfectly manicured; the suites are gorgeous with large comfy beds and great linens, as well as lovely balconies with a table and chairs, and idyllic hammocks. The food is fantastic! - At breakfast get the huevos motuleoss from Armando at Caprichos - he is a fantastic chef! Servers Cesar and Elias are great! - Order lunch by the ocean/pool from Bites. (The food at Zama is pretty good, but the service there at lunch is hit or miss... mostly miss.) - For dinner, you can't miss at La Casona STK, but Davino is out of this world. Ethel is kind, warm, welcoming, delightful, and a gracious host. - If you're lucky and can get into BlancaBlue (at neighboring Garza Blue), go! Chef Carlos is a master and the servers are so knowledgeable about the cuisine, the history/regionality of the dish, and are true professionals. Uzziel is fun and entertaining, and Deyvison is the consummate professional server. My family and I want to call special attention to William (Jose William Baaz Cotz). We met William on the 2nd day and he treated us like family every minute that followed. Upon seeing us, he would bring a bucket of ice filled with our favorite drinks for each and every one of us, including limes for my husband's beer. :) He always knew when to offer us food, appeared with new drinks before we even realized we needed a fresh one, and anticipated our needs better than any server I have ever encountered.Honestly, when we had to leave, the hardest part (other than having to return to the "real" world), was leaving William. I started crying when I told his boss how much we adored him and were impressed by his attentiveness, work ethic, and just the amazing human he is. He made our first family vacation truly memorable.Thanks to the Villa del Palmar team and most especially, William! <3

"Breakfast service amazing some things fell way short though"

This property is gorgeous and has all you would need to relax. Make sure you ask for Cesar Soberanis when eating at the breakfast buffet. Top notch service! Benito by the pool is also great! Double check info from concierge though. They seem to give our wrong information ALOT. We are GOLD members and were told NO RESERVATIONS for anyone needed at restaurants. That is not true. They make reservations for special guests or people that complain. The one concierge told us that Cozumel and isla mujeres were the same size. NOT TRUE. We have a been to Mexico almost 40 times and have been to ISLA a lot and wanted to try Cozumel. Thank GOD I did my own research. Isla is 1.7 sq Miles. Cozumel is over 100 sq miles. Not the same. So not trust what you hear from concierge. Always do your own research. Weather as good! Beach was clean! There isnt a lot of activities by the pool. Not sure why? COVID? Or maybe just lack of resources. ALSO BEWARE THE POOL IS FREEZING! They do not heat the pool unless your ELITE and you have your own section of the baby pool area. Those pools are perfect! The main pools are freezing which kept everyone away from it but flooding the hot tubs which is not safe from COVID . And there kids in all hot tubs so forget relaxing with a drink and catching up with your partner. Not happening. Way too many kids in hot tubs with nobody regulating it.

Hands down will be fabulous hotel! They are still in construction but we knew that so Im not going downgrade their rating. One visitor complained about the location! Ummdidnt they see that it far from the hotel zone. My opinion, the hotel zone is a little sketchy and dated. All the hotels north are newer and safer because its away from the party zones. This hotel is over the top! The food is amazing. They have only Blanca Blue open right now but thats because of the construction. They will have their own STK when its opened. They will also have a Hiroshi, Japanese cuisine. The pools are very nice and lots of places to lay. There are even hammocks over the water. The service is hands down amazing. Every employee is so courteous. Honestly there isnt anything negative about this resort. I also want to say that Ive been all over Mexico for the last three decades and this is my favorite! Last, I have not been given any incentives to post this whatsoever and I just referred GB to a friend who was planning to go to Finest which is north. Cant wait to come back next year!!!

"Amazing resort - but not for everyone"

First, this hotel is beautiful, upscale, and truly an exclusive experience. If you are looking for the next level of hotel/resort service and accommodations, you are at the right place. From the attentive staff to the modern decor to the electric window curtains, and bidets in the bathrooms, you are getting the most up-to-date, cutting edge vacation around. That being said, there are some things that come with exclusivity; like having hotel staff/security knock on your at 11pm because you are laughing too loud. Like the pools and bars closing very early because older guests need their sleep, and of course for me, and African American woman, being asked randomly by a stranger when you are in the exclusive pool area, "are you staying here"?We did end up buying into the resort as it gives us access to many of the same resort types around the world and we were definitely ready for the next level of vacationing. Our sales guy Pablo was amazingly upbeat and kind. We knew the sales pitch like the back of our hand, like saying his dad was in town, so he would make it short, and a few others tactics (good cop bad cop), but the product spoke for itself. If you are even remotely interested in buying vacation property, do some research before sitting in the presentation so that you don't feel like you are being hustled. Make an informed decision. We had a extremely horrible situation with the hostess, Shyla, at the Italian restaurant, but head chef, Chef Fernando, the manager Manuel, and the two bartenders, Miguel and Carlos, bent of backwards to make it right. At the end of the night, we had a 6 course meal that the chef made up himself, without us even looking at the menu and my husband said it was one of the best meals he'd had in his life. Our server Roger never let our cups get to empty and his kindness and smile could light up a room. We understood that people have bad days, and I think the staff was aware, but the extent that they went to, to make it up to us, was definitely above and beyond. I have never experienced such care and understanding by management staff in my life.Happy to be a part of the Tafer family.

"Awesome Resort!"

My husband and I just returned from the brand-new Garza Blanca in Cancun. We had an awesome time. At this time only one wing is occupied by guests but the soft opening will happen in December. Garza Blanca pools are all open, and Blanca Blue Restaurant, The Snack, and the Food truck combined with six Villa Del Palmar restaurants (next door) were fully functional providing us with many options. As usual, the service was superb! Many thanks to our concierge, Lulu. Ariel, our butler, was amazing. She was so helpful and accommodating. Thanks for making our anniversary celebration special. Our couples massage at the Spa was incredible thanks to Mireya and Erika. And the rest of the staffWOW! On our first night, we had dinner at the beautiful Blanca Blue.

In the mornings we were greeted at Blanca Blues breakfast buffet by Mary who couldnt have been sweeter. Thanks to Victor, Eduardo and Manuel who were attentive to our every need.The pool side staff is outstanding. There were tons of chairs and cabanas, and the staff was sure to accommodate the guests. Ricardo, the pool manager, made sure we had the setup that we wanted. The waiters for The Snack rushed around serving guests with amazing speed. Thanks to Oscar Hernandez, Marcia Catalina, Benjamin, Abraham, and Pablo Cesar. We were treated each day to specialty cocktails and other treats. We loved the fish tacos! David served us a yummy lunch at the Bite Bar at VDP.Each night we had a cocktail at one of several bars.

"Mi Amigo Eric"

Stayed for a wedding. Weather didnt quite cooperate and there was a bit of a learning curve as this was my first time staying at an inclusive resort. Despite some of my own personal challenges adapting to the slower pace of things, I was able to enjoy myself thanks to the support of the friends I traveled with and some new ones I met during my stay. My trip would not have been the same without the energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism of Eric, a waiter with the Zama poolside staff. Eric was a true beacon of hope whose smile cut through the clouds and gave me permission to completely relax and engage with the vacation that was upon me. Eric was able to genuinely exchange cultures and connect with my friend group while not missing a beat with his job duties. My old buddy Rich was able to marry his forever partner. I was lucky to find a forever friend in Eric.

Deyvison provided personalized service at his own disgrace and made table side strawberry flambé for our anniversary and birthday celebrations. Not only did he provide excellent service, his authenticity made the experience memorable. We highly recommend the Blanca Blue and Deyvison!

Experiencing such professionalism as we did, is worthy of an outstanding review, specifically for Eduardo Garcia at the Zama Restaurant. He demonstrates knowledge, courtesy, is pleasant and had excellent people skills and a great ability to speak English. We were impressed and hope to see him again.

"Villa del Palmar-Cancun...An amazing resort"

Our 7-day stay at the family-friendly Villa del Palmar was an experience we will never forget. There were 12 of us, ranging in age from 15 months to 79 years. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Our butlers, Martin and Santiago, were able to handle and fill our numerous requests and they were carried out in a timely manner. When we were on the beach or in a cabana, Eric was there taking our drink and food orders...he even remembered from day to day some of the drinks we liked. Our kids surprised us with a romantic dinner on the beach. Saul, our waiter was professional and courteous. The staff at Villa del Palmer are respectful and are willing to go above and beyond what is expected. The resort is clean and has breath-taking views.

"1st time to Cancun."

My husband and I visited Cancun for the first time. Villa Del Palmar is a beautiful resort with a fantastic staff. Adrian had our time by the pool fun and active. Our concierge Giovanna was amazing and extremely helpful. I don't think there is a bad view from any room. However the walls are very thin if you have a connection room. We do wish there was more to do on property after 10pm. We will definitely be back.

Oscar at the pool was the most amazing attentive server. He was so helpful and the food and drinks were really delicious. I would strongly recommend looking for him outside. We were here for a wedding and they made our experience pleasurable. The front desk is still working out some things but they are very nice.

"Fantastic Spot for Destination Wedding"

My husband and I just had our wedding at Villa del Palmar and I can't say enough good things. All aspects, from planning and executing the wedding, to the resort itself, were so fantastic. On the wedding side, we could not be happier. The one downside is there isn't really a good spot for a rehearsal dinner, which we realized when we arrived, but that was more on our wedding planner (not affiliated with resort) who had sort of described/represented things differently. The wedding itself was wonderful and flawless, and we were able to charter a boat right from the resort for our guests which was amazing as a day-before welcome event. Resort is beautiful, staff is amazing, food and drink incredible. I cannot sing the praises highly enough!!

"AMAZING!!"

We went to Mexico because we needed a vacation badly! They did not disappoint. Everything is so well organized and cleaned! However what makes his resort different from the others is the costumer service. They treat everyone like family while doing an excellent job! I want to give an extra thanks to the entertainment group Jose (Pepe) and the guy and girl with them (Sorry I forgot their names but not them!!). Luis from the Bite bar. Alfred and his partner at the bar. Alfonso at Davino. Oscar, Alfred, Oswaldo and plenty other people at Caprrichos! Oscar from the reception! Everyone from the Spa! Thank you for making this trip memorable, see you all soon.

Martin for the best pool service. He was so fast to serve amazing Bloody Mary in the morning and margaritas in the afternoon. Sergio at Davinos made us feel like family.

"Beautiful Garza Blanca- Cancun"

We have stayed at both Garza Blanca and Hoel Mousai multiple times (5+ visits each resort) in Puerto Vallarta and this was our first visit to the beautiful Garza Blanca in Cancun! We were very impressed on so many levels. While the atmosphere & decor is very different from PVR, we love the modern take from the entire restaurant and suites and absolutely loved the pool area. Like always, the food is five star in every restaurant. Our drinks and poolside service as well as service for breakfast and dinner was consistent and always fantastic. Plenty of seats and options for my two boys to swim at the pool as well as great beach area with lots of space. My boys especially love the activity in the ocean and absolutely loved a few of the guys from the activity & entertainment. We are going back again next week right before the Thanksgiving holiday. We have to give a major shout out to those to atbtryky went above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful. These individuals were so genuine, always smiling, happy to see you and have a good conversation and always so grateful. The hospitality in Mexico but especially through Garza Blanca is what continues to bring our family back every year sometimes with friends and helps us to refer so many friends because we know they will get top-notch service. Front Desk- Luis Pool Side-Rogelio, Kevin & MauricioBeach activities: Adrian, Sebastian, Alexsis Entertainment- Alejandro Blanca Blue & Italian- Juan, Maurianna, Gustavo & EduardoBlanca Blue Manager- AaronHiroshi Manager- Ricardo BEST almond milk latte daily- NoelAND the best personal concierge was Ariel! She was full of energy, very happy, always able to assist and if she had a day off we always had an additional person to contact. She was great with communication and had all of our reservations booked and would check in on us daily at the pool. She even had a surprise for our boys one night with balloons and super Mario brothers desert. She was fantastic and weve requested to have her again when we arrive next week.Resort next store has fun activities for our boys (6 & 10) they loved the pottery kiosk with Reyes & Josephine. All in all a truly wonderful vacation! *For those who dont do all inclusive and trying it doesnt the first time, please TIP. Your food and drinks are included but you are having a service provided to you. These amazing people work very hard to accommodate you so please be kind and please tip.housekeeping, pool & bar servers, restaurant, concierge, bellman etc. I am always shocked how many people do not tip.

"Villa Del Pamar!"

Villa Del Palmar is an incredible resort! My wife and I just returned from our first trip to Cancun to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. This resort is immaculate in every way. I arranged for a welcome anniversary welcome package, including a gourmet food tray, roses, and a small cake. Everything was beautiful and delicious. The Staff went above and beyond by decorating our bed with heart-shaped balloons and spelling out, Happy 25th Anniversary with colored rice! We dined at every restaurant on the premises and even tried late-night room service; everything was delicious! This resort is about 25 minutes away from the airport and not located in the "hotel zone." The location was perfect for us because it was a little more secluded with its own beach and plenty of activities to choose from throughout the day and evening. I also splurged on the Titanium Romance Dinner Package, which was supposed to take place in the pavilion at the end of the pier. Unfortunately, the wind had other ideas. The staff were so gracious and went ahead and decorated for us. The manager at La Casona STK greeted us as we were waiting because there was a delay due to a wedding. The manager personally brought us two glasses of champagne and then escorted us to the pavilion. Even though the setting was beautiful complete with flowers, lights, etc., the wind was so strong it blew glasses over. The manager informed us they had already set a table inside the restaurant if we needed to move inside. We ended up moving inside and had an incredible dinner with personal service from the waiter and manager. Thank you to all the staff at Villa Del Palmar for helping to make our 25th anniversary very special.We look forward to bringing our entire family to the resort next year!

"Great resort to relax & just BE!"

My wife & I are kong-time Villa del Palmar (VdP) members & this was our 1st time visitor to VdP Cancun.We came intending to rest/relax, w/no excursions/crazy schedules - just beach, pool, & room balcony chills. We succeeded magnificently, thanks to the great staff & beautiful VdP Cancun resort. We stayed in an A&B 2 room with friends (another couple) - the bedrooms & balconies were plenty big enough & the shared living space (kitchen, laundry, living room, dining room) were perfect. Though it was available, we did NOT do all-inclusive; couldn't see spending the $100+/day per person & I am SO GLAD we didn't. We took 2 grocery store runs for food/drink supplies & we also ate at least 1 meal & had at least 1 'resort drinks' each day. The grocery runs provided what we needed to cook a killer breakfast every morning & then to make our own drinks, as desired, all day. Just for a cost comparison, all inclusive for the 4 of us would have cost $110+/person/day. Instead, w/2 grocery runs, taxi fares, +eating/drinking whatever we wanted (to enjoy, not to stuff) we spent approx. $36/person/day. Overall, we ended up saving over $2700 in food/drink costs & we didn't want for anything. We went to 2 grocery stores - Walmart Supercenter & Superama (Walmart Express). I wouldnt recommend Walmart Supercenter - the Taxi there was a long, rough & busy roads. The store had a bit of everything (if you've been to Walmart, you know,) but it wasn't worth the trip. The Superama had everything we bought at the Walmart Supercenter except cheaper, closer, & less chaotic.RESORT FOOD RECOMMENDS-angus hamburgers - incredible-Ceviche (my wife loved the cooked version)-nachos (huge plate to share) - pizzas (esp. reheated)-chicken fingers (so good)What makes VdP Cancun so special are the people who work here. They were so kind & attentive to every need - very thoughtful & proactive w/o hovering.Some shout-outs:-Moises pool concierge extraordinaire. This man is hard working, happy, funny, & so hospitable. Truly a rockstar at his job. He will go far in whatever he chooses to do.-Azucena, Eric, & Benjamin food/pool - such a sweet & hard working crew.-Innocencia gym desk-The front desk crew - we had a bit of a snafu with our reservation & they worked to sort it out quickly & with class.-The beach crew worked tirelessly to clean the beach of seaweed & kept it looking spotless.CHALLENGES-this wasn't a VdP issue but the difficulty of navigating getting your Covid test results to the airlines/appropriate authorities was a bear. Give yourself PLENTY of time to make sure to get all your ticketing, documentation, etc dialed in because it is fairly difficult to work through.

"Second favorite vacation ever, next to Europe."

We've stayed at Villa Del Palmar before and I can honestly say you won't be dissappointed Very clean, exceptional staff and wonderful service. The beaches are clean and well maintained. Pools are very well kept and clean. There are two honorable mentions that I'd like to recognize for their beyond exceptional service. Marcos and Moises run their asses off to ensure every guest in their area is completely comfortable and their wants and needs are met. We were never without a cold drink, a clean dry towel, or shade to protect us from the sun. Literally, if even our feet were exposed to direct sunlight, Martin or Moises made the necessary adjustment of the umbrella in order to maintain our comfort. I cannot say enough about these two outstanding individuals.

Excellent Resort, the service, facilities, rooms, pools, views, location, all 5 Star, the best we've been at in over 25 years of traveling. They all work very hard and employees are happy and enjoy working here. .The concierge, Giovana #617, is unbelievable fantastic, great!!! I lost 4 weeks of medicine, 14 meds each day, on my jet,. She called the airport baggage supervisor who said they were not found, lost gone forever. . Giovana , ordered, and had them refilled and delivered to me at the resort. United found them the next day, and Giovana found me, and had them safely returned to me, the next day. Delphino, the Italian restaruant, and Alonso, is one of the friendliest, most informative, help full waiters, I've ever met. The Steak house is excellent, Angel, was a great beach waiter, bar tender, even all the grounds keepers were great to talk with. You will not be dissapointed staying here in any room..

"Mexican dream"

My husband and I stayed at Garza with friends for 9 glorious days. Jorge was superb at getting everything we needed. The food at all the restaurants were truly amazing. As for our servers. Martin at Hiroshi is funny and delightful. Ceaser from the breakfast buffet was so eager to please . We had met Miguel and Luis from the Zak bar from previous visits and always know how to make my perfect drink (pineapple Chipotle Margarita with extra tahin). And Martin from Blanca Blue made me a wonderful Mayan coffee that was actually a coffee and a show.. But the real treat was Ricardo and Eloesa from the pool area. They went WAY beyond making sure we were well taken care of. Eloesa made us feel like instant friends . She was always super attentive, and so much fun to be around. She made as feel extra special. Now to Ricardo .After day one he always remembered my name and my favorite drink. Our chairs were always waiting for us when we got there . Umbrellas always put in the shade before we even asked. And was there for anything we needed. On our last day he presented me with a beautiful dessert and even brought over the chef. I truly feel we left with a special new friend here in Mexico. He is hoping to get a promotion to the top deck pool when it is finished. I truly hope he gets it. It would be well deserved. We hope to go back and see them again soon.

"Eric and Raul made this trip amazing!"

This was my first time in Mexico and I was extremely impressed to say the least! I was recommended to Villa Del Palmar from a friend because I said I wanted a relaxing vacation. Please go and try this place and when you go, look for Eric and Raul poolside, and in the Bite Bar. First off, I have to say if it werent for those two gentleman I am not sure I would have smiled or laughed as much as I did. They made my first trip to Mexico an amazing experience and made me look to plan my next trip back. Eric went out of his way every day to make sure our day was good and also helped me learn a little Spanish too. Raul made my girlfriend and I laugh and just admire the little things. I feel like with the two of them I made friends that I will go back and see. We also had Victor and Azucena(sp?) as servers poolside and they were amazing. Villa Del Palmar also has an amazing spa. It was so good that the girlfriend and I went twice. We booked one before we arrived and after that we felt so good we booked another. If you want a Cancun get away I would recommend this place but dont forget to say hi to Eric and Raul! They will introduce you to many foods and many different shots to take!

"Best service ever!"

During our trip to Villa del Palmar (Cancun), we were taken care of by the best cocktail server (Renan)-who tolerated all of our craziness and the only bartender that remembers me every time I head back for a visit (Adrian.) Some of the staff make it a priority to put customers first and it shows! Thank you, gentlemen, for another amazing week!

"29th honeymoon "

Garza Blanca is amazing, we will definitely be back! We are towards the end of our 2 week trip and wish it could be longer. There is construction going on, but it hasnt bothered us a bit. Room service for coffee and fruit platter in the morning, breakfast later at Blanca Blue, long days at the pool, dinners out and relaxing while the hubby smokes a cigar. Could not have been better! Jorge has been our butler and could not have been better, attending to every want and need we had. Sent a cake for our anniversary to the room, replaced the fridge when it wasnt cooling enough because who likes warm beer , to making sure we had an extra bed for the weekend while the kids were here. He has done it all! Ricardo as our pool concierge has also been amazing, having a spot for us to go to every morning, trying to keep people with small children at a distance for us, and even chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary! Benjamin, Rogelio, Luna, David, Alejandro, Eloisa and so many more I cant even count. All of them anticipate your needs before you even know you need them, our service has been top notch!

"Great Stay"

My preference is usually Adult Only (all inclusive) resorts. Even though this is a family resort, my husband and I had a great time. We stayed at this resort from Oct. 7-12th. I was pleasantly surprised with our very spacious one bedroom accommodations with a very spacious balcony. The resort offers complimentary water activities (i.e. kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling). I particularly llllóovvé the wait staff at the pool and beach area. I admit the drinks (cocktails) were watered down. Matter fact, I witnessed staff pouring water in the cocktails before adding the liquor. The beach was beautiful but rocky when first walking in. The seaweed was manageable. Plenty of beach umbrellas and seating on the beach, and couches that anyone could access. The pools offered lots of space where you didn't feel crowded. I like the fact that there was towel stations available for pick up without having to sign for them. Covid testing was also provided but you had to pay out of pocket ($20 for Antigen and $80 for the PCR). The gym was great. Grounds were well kept. Restaurants available include: Excellent breakfast buffet at Caprichos that offered a health bar where you can get freshly made smoothies. Zama is a Mexican restaurant that had pretty good food. There was also a second Mexican restaurant that had good food (but I forgot the name). Bite Bar is perfect for lunch when lounging by the pool or beach with wait staff. Palmita Market & Deli is very convenient and has a Starbucks. La Casona STK (not open), Davino Restaurant (great food and excellent service). Let me say, while my husband and I were waiting to be seated in Davino Restaurant, we went to bar inside the lobby just outside the restaurant. There were two additional people there before us. We waited patiently until they served those guests and thought they would come serve us afterwards. Additional people starting coming to the bar and the bar staff immediately waited on them and completely ignored us. Eventually, the bar staff came to us and I called him this BS. On another day, we ate at Hiroshi (Japanese restaurant). Our waiter was horrible, very slow, I had to ask for silverware, after sitting for almost 20 minutes I had to ask for our appetizers (mind you, several people were seated after us and received their cocktails/appetizers before us), cocktail was water downed, and the main course was meh. Someone spilled a drink right next to my chair (that splashed on me) and NO ONE came and cleaned up the messed. Beware, we had to do a timeshare presentation they claimed would be only 90 minutes. LIES- it was over 3 hours. Our "salesman" Armando- spit every time he talked. Thank goodness he was wearing a face shield and we had on our mask and stood a few feet from him. Other than those incidents - we had enjoyed the resort.

"Awesome Stay"

My fiancée and I booked at Garza Blanca for mid September, knowing it was a new hotel. We were so happy we did. The hotel and staff were amazing! The rooms were stunning. All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We want to acknowledge a couple that went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. Adrian and Arturo - our butlers - made our vacation very easy and relaxing by booking reservations for restaurants and excursions, and helping with anything we needed. The pool staff was extremely attentive - especially Ricardo (pool supervisor). He welcomed us each day with a warm smile and delightful conversation - he made sure we were always well taken care of. and would not let us lift a finger! Also, Cesar and Rogelio were very attentive with drinks and food. Estephania at Blanca Blue was delightful - she was so thoughtful when she remembered that I love churros and didn't get to have them one night, so she had them specially prepared for me at breakfast. When we were on the beach at Villa Del Palmar we had a minor incident and the security guard, Rodrigo, was extremely helpful and took care of the situation. We loved our stay and will definitely be back next year!

They say it's the little things that count, and the resort delivered. Luxurious, high quality, hospitality & attention to details at it's best. Having been travelling internationally and staying in five-stars hotels, GB impressed me the most with it's thoughtful design. Loved the remote curtains, beautiful bed, kitchen and showers, amazing pool and view, and of course...yoga in the morning. If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful & luxury getaway, GB is the right place. Looking forward to my next visit!!

"Amazing Relaxing Holiday - Just what the doctor ordered"

Finally able to travel after a long awaited COVID lockdown. From our room to the pool, everything was top quality. Understandably, they are not fully completed construction and the noise level wasn't bad, they made up for it with nice light afternoon music artists and exceptional service at the pool. David, Benjamin & Rogolio made our time at the pool rememberable. David made sure we were well taken care of with our drinks, Benjamin set up our beach chairs in the morning after knowing our routine. All the staff were attentive and always smiling and willing to help. Our Butler - Rene, always sought us out during the day making sure that all our needs were met. We did the AI for our time there and don't regret it. There is only one restaurant at Garza open for now but we had several choices at Villa Del Palmar. No particular favorite aside from Breakfast at Blanca Blue. A special thanks to Adrian at the Tequila Bar who always made our before dinner coctail hour enjoyable. What a memory he has, knowing our room and drink order upon arrival. Cannot wait to come back and see the completed look but really didn't mind the quiet times at the pool. Very clean, very attentive to covid guidelines.

"Don't get hooked into the Membership."

We went to VDP Cancun on a promotional price which was all-inclusive for $499.00. A tour was mandatory which did not last 90 minutes or even 2 hours. They are selling a points membership but don't provide information completely. Company Tafer Resorts only owns CDP Cancun, no longer has CDP Puerta Vallarta or anyother Villa Del Palmar resorts. They own Garza Blanca which the membership points are used. the resort itself was clean, comfortable, and staff very gracious. Steer clear of the Membership sale pitch.

"Employees Make Your Stay Wonderful!"

What makes this particular resort so exceptional, is the employees are very friendly, hardworking and accommodating. They keep the grounds beautifully maintained. The rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious. You feel safe here and very relaxed. My only qualms with the resort is that it is small, and there is no where to walk other than having to leave the hotel premises. Its very far from the other resorts, so you feel isolated. If you have older kids, its a better idea to go to a larger hotel or one that has many more activities for the kids, especially teens. The food options are limited in the am. There is no ice cream, cookies or chocolate like youd find at other hotels. The pastries at breakfast are pitiful. Americans need ice cream and chocolate!!! We need fresh out of the oven & crispy pastries.All in all, our family had a great trip! We ventured out to Isla Mujeres, which was nice. Definitely recommend renting the golf cart to drive around the island. I just want to give a shout out to David, the exceptional waiter in the morning! Such a pleasant person!!!

This resort is beautiful inside and out! But what makes it even better is the staff working. Our assigned butler, Ariel, was available for anything we needed for reservations etc. Ricardo was in charge of the staff around the beautiful pool. He made sure our usual spots by the pool were set up for us with towels, umbrellas, and chairs together for our group. David and Elosa several other poolside waiters took care of us and had coolers to keep our drinks cold and everything! This was the best poolside service I have had at any of the resorts I have ever stayed. The team was very personable and knew us every day. For dinner the Blanca blue was amazing. The staff there were wonderful and gave excellent recommendations on what to eat, the chefs recommendations and accurate descriptions of the food. The portions were very large we had to split dessert at the end.We came just a few days after hurricane Grace came through so there was a lot of seaweed on the beach however it was probably 2 feet high and they had it cleaned up in two days I could not believe it. I cannot wait to take another trip back here!

"An honest review"

Ok fist of all is our first time visiting this resort. We picked out this resort based on the reviews although they are bad ones. Once we got to the hotel we were welcome with smiles and a glass of champagne. We were checked in but our Room wasnt ready until 2 pm. So we headed to the pool for lunch. There is only one restaurant and does not serve lunch only breakfast and diner. You have to eat in a snack bar by the pool or a food truck. Food was really good there no complaints.The am service at this hotel is exemplified. We can not say any different. Ruben our server at the main restaurant was excellent abs the food was exceptional. Thank you for a great time.

"Not going to take off stars for the construction"

Let's start with a couple reminder. I am in the emergency travel business. Cancun is facing a crisis over the last couple weeks. If you are sick, unvaccinated, or think COVID is a hoax, you may want to check your emergency travel benefits. On to the hotel. Not going to talk much about the construction. It can be a bit loud for short periods but it didn't take away from the amazing stay. Music at 6am is quesionable, but with the doors shut, it is pretty muted. Hotel rooms are great- modern and clean. Loved the tech in the room, especially in the bathroom. Two items were not working on check-in and our butler had them fixed within 15 minutes, including changing out an entire refrigerator. Luis at check in was awesome!The overriding difference at this resort from other stays is service. BEST staff to date from housekeeping to front to pool to restaurants. Did not have a bad experience - okay one at breakfast- but I wasn't there. Pools are amazing. Beach is kind of disappointing given that the water is so amazing. Shoreline was rocky and yes lots of seaweed. Nothing they can do about that. Go out 50 feet and it is amazing. Go out to the shipwreck (snorkel tour) and you will be amazed at the perfect ble, clear water, and a ship that sank in 1988 with tons of fish. (See tour company at neighboring hotel for snorkel tour) Pool water and service was fantastic. All of them are attentive- special thanks to David! Food- 4/5 stars for almost everything. I think our favorite restaurants was a tie between Blanca Blue and the new Italian. The Chocolate Tamale at Blanca is simply amazing. Service was great everywhere and never a hassle with the all-inclusive. Meals average $150-$200 for family of four with some alcohol- so use your best judgment for upgrading to all-inclusive. Next door, you can also eat on the plan, and we took advantage of sushi and steak the last night. Honestly, the steaks were not as high quality as say Ruth Chris- but certainly a nice meal. Dessert was excellent again. Fitness room is great- just too crowded given the current circumstances. BTW_ Every room faces the pool/sea, as there are only one row of rooms per wing. The two other sides to the structure will be done by year-end, but that will just be too many people for us. I like not fighting for chairs, having space, great service and quiet. If you are looking for non-stop activities at the pool, you need to go next door to Paloma- it isn't happening at Garza. LIkewise for nightlife. So it is actually having the best of both worlds as long as you have access to both. Those that choose quieter can stay at Garza. Summary- No real criticisms. Amazing place. Amazing people. Great time. Just wish we didn't have the COVID re-ignition hanging over our heads. The hotel will set you up with COVID testing at Paloma for $20 per person credited right back to your account- so free. Just plan on it taking about 30 minutes past your appointment time- they are busy. Staff wore masks everywhere at all times- even outdoors. To all at Garza- thank you for a wonderful trip.My clients do business in Cancun, so we will hope to see you again!

"Amazing all-inclusive experience (even during soft opening)"

We stayed at Garza Blanca Resort in Cancun for 4 nights and 5 days and it was such an upscale, luxury family oriented stay. Here's the breakdown:- Resort building and room: 4.5 out 5 - Really upscale and high end only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 out of 5 was b/c we went during soft opening and the resort is only 1/3 complete. We intend to go back when fully complete and i'll give it a 5 out of 5. Also, small but key example of the it being upscale of the resort is that the bathrooms had a bidet and heated toilet seat. - Service and staff: 5 out of 5. Everyone here is so wiling to help and make sure you have the best experience from housekeeping, servers, to front staff. We had a dedicated concierge and his name was Adrian. He was absolutely amazing very helpful and available for everything like getting our 2 year old stomach medicine to sorting out my credits at the spa. Staff is very professional and friendly and on top of things. - Food: 5 out of 5. There was only one restaurant open when we went, but it was outstanding for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast served the sweetest oj i've ever had and offered mexican dish to crab or salmon benedict. Dinner was incredible drinks to food. The quality of food and drinks were comparable or better than a good number of high end restaurants in the United States major cities -- comparing to $$$ priced restaurants. Our server for dinner Luis was exceptional ask for him when you go for dinner. We are definitely planning to go back. I've been to other all inclusive resorts in DR and this was exponentially better. Thank you, Garza Blanca Cancun!

"The only negative is the big old leather trunk that holds the minibar and coffee maker."

We stayed at Garza blanca July 6th-12th. We could not be happier... From the property's cleaning crew... Adolfo, Candelario and others that I forgot their name, they were so courteous and helpful. Thank you to all of them.Our Nicandra who kept our room clean and shining everyday, Thank you!Stephanie and Luna so nice and courteous, Stephanie went above and beyond when we told her our toddler has been vomiting during lunch, because she ate a hole plate of spaghetti that was hard to digest for a toddler. When we told Stepahanie at dinner she went and talk to the chef who prepares chicken soup for the baby, she ate it all and her tummy was so well after that. Luis at Blanca Blue, the only way I can describe Luis is a exceptional, went above and beyond with the service each night. We were so pleased and amazed by the food and the service at Blanca Blue and Luis that we had dinner at Blanca Blue restaurant every single night. We even didn't bother t go to the other restaurants available.Luis was so polite, made us fell at home. And of Course Adrian our Concierge, I cant not be more grateful for Adrian who always answered our questions, gave good advise. Adrian was exceptional. The whole team made us feel at home, they were all so polite so helpful. We enjoyed our stay at Garza blanca we will definitely comeback... I've never seen my 2 year old so excited about food. We miss the food the drinks. We are definitely going back.Thank you everyone for making sure we felt as home, we loved and enjoyed staying at Garza Blanca.

"Amazing Family Vacation!"

One of our best family vacations and we are already planning to come back next summer. The personalized service and attention to detail cannot be matched! Ricardo, the Pool Concierge, left no detail to chance. His friendly demeanor and periodic check-ins to make sure our time at GarzaBlanca was spent enjoying each others company and beautiful amenities. Cannot wait to see and experience GarzaBlanca once is it fully completed. was an experience we will always treasure. In addition to Ricardos excellent service, Lazaro also went out of his way to arrange all our spa and dining reservations! Great staff, great resort. If you want to relax, unplug and rejuvenate, GarzaBlanca is the place for you and your family to make lasting memories.

"Wonderful experience"

Truly an incredible experience. The resort, while not fully constructed, is a gem. The rooms and common areas are beautifully designed and appointed. The food and beverage was delightful, especially for an all-inclusive place. And, last but not least, the service was extraordinary. The staff went out of their way to provide a welcoming environment. Also, when there were some mistakes or miscommunications, they went out of their way to over-correct. I will be back. Perfect for families.

Great stay all around.. yes part of the hotel was under construction but wasnt too big of an inconvenience, some noise but not ridiculously loud. Food was great at the restaurant and snack bars. Room service was great and prompt. All service was great but wanted to mention the awesome service we received from Izmael at the swim up bar he always ensured that we were served at the bar but we out of his way to order food and personally found us tables to enjoy lunch poolside, couldnt have asked for a better server!!

"Gorgeous resort!"

Our family of 5 came to Garza Blanca Cancun for 10 days in July. We had a lovely experience bar a few hiccups due to the resort just opening. Our room was beautiful with a gorgeous view of the ocean, Isla Mujeres, and all of Cancun. Of course we had to deal with constant construction noise daily when we were at the pool but we were aware of this prior to arrival. Joys of coming to a soft opening I guess. Some of the highlights are definitely the pools as they are cooler than Villas. One of my biggest complaints was that the pools were too warm in the summer! Pool service at Garza is absolutely stellar. The servers are on it! Pool concierge Ricardo is a superstar. Another highlight is the Blanca Blue restaurant. Food and service is amazing. All of the restaurants at the resort are great but Blanca Blue and Davino are definitely the best. Cant wait to visit again once it is complete!

We had the most amazing dinner at Blanca Blue at The new Garza Blanca resort in Cancun. Martin was our server and his recommendations were spot on! Our food choices, from the appetizers to soups to entrees (definitely get the short rib!) were incredible! Save room for dessert too! The fritter with the white Chocolate ice cream and berries was absolutely to die for! Five star dining experience! And be sure to ask for Martin! Best server ever!

Alejandro animador de garza, my son is really shine person and Alejandro was great with him and got him to play games. He was great we love his attitude and his great personality. Also loved David Dominguez our waiter he was very attentive and always on time with our orders and kept our area really clean . David always knew and always got what we wanted best of the best. Very friendly he would talk and have a conversation with us even though his busy he would take his time. our room was always really cleaned and housekeeping were very nice are you always feel welcome. Only complain is the construction I would hear it really early didn't know they still had heavy equipment which made it really noisy . And no activities but only music. Wish they would of done games also and have vendors. Overall the service was good hotel okay not the best . Thank you

"Happy Owner/Member"

We are owners/members at the Tafer resorts and have been given the chance to access both GB Cabo/ GB Cancun during their "soft opening". This Cancun location is half open as the rest of the resort is still under construction but during our stay, the same kind of service and hospitality that we find in other Tafer resorts is very evident here, notwithstanding Covid. Only 1 restaurant was fully operational although guests as we could see had no trouble going over to the sister property Villa del Palmar next door to dine. And they stepped up their game. The only thing missing was time on the beach because of the sargassum present in the shallow waters (but no worries, we spent a day at Isla Mujeres, no problem). And, as I would assume since the resort had pretty good deals on the web (for non-members/owners) we did see a lot of young couples or influencers and I think that's good, they help advertise the resort for free (lol) but yes, this experience was so different from the other times we've been. We've met a lot of long time returning owners, of course, but yes, this experience was different. I'm sure inventory was abundant but the exclusivity was not there this time.

"Beautiful, clean, FANTASTIC room and resort."

I am giving this five stars because the hotel rooms and service are simply AWESOME. I mean, you just can't beat the resort as far as the beauty of the pools and rooms and the outstanding service. Lazaro, our butler, was attentive, helpful, always ready to give assistance. He was SO nice, and he really cared that we were happy. The pools are lovely!!! (I do think the swim-up bar should stay open a little later [it closes around 6:30 p.m.], and the pools close too early. 10 PM is too early for a pool to close at a resort.) Alondra, the head concierge for Villa Del Palmar, is a PEACH! Villa Del Palmar is the hotel next door that shares amenities with Garza Blanca, so you will work with the concierges at Villa Del Palmar pretty often. Alondra is so sweet, so concerned with customer satisfaction.The downside was the beach. The seaweed was awful when we were there, but I've heard that it's not always that way. However, you can take a free ferry to Isla Mujeres and swim at Playa Norte (North Beach), one of the top 7 most beautiful beaches in the world, and let me tell you--Playa Norte is just phenomenal. The water... oh man, it's crazy beautiful. :DBe careful of getting caught in the sales presentation for the vacation club, though. I think the vacation club is great for a lot of people, but if you're not really sure that you'd be willing to invest in something like that, don't do it. You'll waste an entire day on a sales pitch.

"Wow!"

Whomever is in charge of the hiring for Garza Blanca picked each and every employee with intention. The service here is A1, like Ive never experienced at any resort, hotel or restaurant. This place will spoil you rotten. You will not want to stay anyplace else after staying here. We arrived on a weekend. Because the hotel is unfinished, you will have to walk thru Villa del Palmar to get to the check-in desk at Garza. Immediately you will see the difference. Check in was smooth and quick. Luis and the guy with the blue eyes (so sorry I forgot your name..I got distracted by the champagne you gave us lol) so warm and friendly. Will give you all the info you need. Afterwards theres someone who will offer you free/cheap massages and excursions in exchange for a presentation. I declined. Then we met the infamous experience host/butler, Laz. I read the reviews before coming. I thought people were exaggerating. They are not. This guy is an asset. Before I asked him a question, he already had it handled. Everyday he made our trip seamless and easy. He always reached out to us b4 reaching out to him to make sure we didnt need anything plus anything else we didnt think of. He gave suggestions when we told him what we MIGHT do that day. You better be there when I come back, Laz lol! Blanca Blue is the only restaurant opened at Garza Blanca, although you can eat at all the restaurants at Villa del Palmar. It was our favorite. Beautiful restaurant with an amazing view. The food was amazing and the service, again, impeccable. Armando was our favorite waiter. Martin was really good too and paid attention to detail. Isabel at the pool was such a doll. We ordered drinks and snacks with her whenever we saw her. Hiroshi, the Japanese restaurant at Villa was really good. The drinks here were the best and I had the same drink many, many times all throughout resort. I would recommend reservations here for dinner, it gets busy. Theres a ferry a little down the beach that takes you to Isla mujeres I would def recommend. The beach there is gorgeous and plenty of bars/restaurants/shopping. Def rent a golf cart and roam the little island a bit. The construction at Garza only seemed to happen during the weekdays and the noise was not intrusive at all. The beach had some seaweed so we didnt swim it at all. And the hotel is not in the hotel zone so there isnt much closeby. The rooms! The rooms are decorated magically. The toilet is heated. Loccitane toiletries. Rain shower and regular shower head. I could go and onSafe to say, Ill be back. Cant wait until theyre full opened.

"Incredible Trip with Family and Friends"

We just returned from a 10 day stay and we have several staff members we would like to say thanks to and share the comments. First of all our butler Rene was the best butler we have had - he checked in with us daily; took all our feedback seriously; saved our pool chairs everyday; checked daily with our other guests which included my parents and 3 boys who were in our 3 bedroom oceanfront suite, our other 5 family members who had a 2 bedroom, and our friends who had their own 1 bedroom! Other than Rene we want to share the 2 other best parts of our trip: We all loved the daily pool service and by far - it was excellent everyday - our waiters: Kevin, David, Alejandro, Heder, MaryAnn (I think that was her name but she was the only female waitress at the pool and it was refreshing to see that they hired a female waitress and she was just on point with the service as her fellow waiters), Misael was our favorite bartender (he helped my mom find several drinks that she loved after she was disappointed that they did not have a sweet Rose wine - which is typically all she drinks). Then, the pool manager Barber was amazing and he checked in with us several times and we could tell he is doing a great job with managing his great team. The two things we missed was the option to eat our food at our Cabana - I know they are trying to keep it clean but with a good staff - it can be done - we see that happen at the Garza in Caba and PV. And pool activities at the Garza. Bc it is still the soft opening, all the activities are at the Villa so u have to leave Garza (which is difficult when some people in the party dont want to do the activities) and walk to Villa. Only activity close is the beach volleyball and it was nice to be able to play it anytime - you could use the ball and the kids and us would start playing and it wouldnt take but 10 minutes and we would have more than 12 people who wanted to join. Then, our second best time was our 2 dinners at Davinos and it can all be attributed to our waiter - Lorenzo! But also the cooks and restaurant manager- the speed and service at Davinos was the best! Unfortunately, we had experienced some long waits to get our food and drinks at some of the other restaurants- but as an Elite member - all the restaurants did get us seated at the time of our reservation. Food was very good at Hiroshi, Blanca Blue, and the Steakhouse - everyone loved their food. We just felt that Garza needs to work with Villa and get more wait staff and cooks hired. With the increase of booked rooms after many Americans are vaccinated - we felt like they are behind with getting hired staff for the restaurants - therefore - dinner takes too long and they cant deliver the service that they have always given. Also, the concierge Lulu and Valeria were very helpful! They even took the time to help my parents with getting prescriptions delivered to the resort - they didnt have to leave the resort! To me - that is going an extra step that they dont have to do. Our room was unbelievable- 3 bedrooms and a huge wrap around patio with a jacuzzi, huge table, chairs to lay out on, chairs and a couch to sit in, and as always - the amazingly soft and big hammock. The master bathroom is very nice with a steamer in the shower and a tub that you can open the blinds up to see the ocean. The kitchen has everything u need and in the penthouses they do stock the fridge and snacks daily even when not on all inclusive! And as an elite member we got daily coffee delivered to our room at whatever time we chose! Looking forward to the finished resort to enjoy the rooftop pool and bar, a Hiroshi at the Garza, and a lobby (right now the lobby is a make shift one, so guests are not getting the real Garza experience). But they have stated that this will be completed by November and we look forward to returning!

"Awesome resort"

We've stayed at a lot of all-inclusive resorts in the past but Garza Blanca Cancun had by far the best customer service of them all. From the time we checked in to the time we left the resort, every single staff member was outstanding. Starting with our butler Lazaro. He helped us with everything and anything we needed. He even arranged a flower delivery for family members even after we got back home. The resort is beautiful, new construction, the food was excellent, the pools were great and the staff made sure everyone is having a great time. They were super nice with the kids. Can't say enough great things about the resort. Rooms are huge by the way. They are like a one-bedroom apartment! We'll definitely go back and we highly recommend this resort.

Adrien and Miguel were the best bartenders around and took care of us the entire week. If I had the opportunity to stay here another week, I would!

"Welcome Home"

Our visit to Villa Del Palmar was awesome. Service was awesome. Servers kept our drinks full by the pool. Joel kept our rooms cleaned and the entertainment by the pool was fun and engaging. We especially enjoyed aqua Zumba and beach volleyball. All the restaurants were good but Davinos stood out for the quality of food and impeccable service. We even had a table visit from the head chef. I also really enjoyed the Black and White seared tuna at Hiroshi. We will definitely come again! Thanks for making our family trip memorable!

Great check in by Daniel when we first arrived and checked out . Everything was great from the room to the service and food was good. We enjoyed the time at the pool and beach. Beach was cleaned and we were able to go in. Room service was great also. Hope to visit soon again.

"Family Trip"

This is our second time staying at the resort. We had such an amazing experience the first time, we decided to bring an additional 5 people on this trip for a total of 9! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were greeted by our personal butler, Otikio. He whisked our entire family upstairs to our three bedroom villa and checked us in...no waiting in line! Otikio and his teammate Oscar handled all the reservations to the restaurants. All we had to do was show up on time. They both checked in periodically throughout the day to ensure we had everything we needed. Carlos at the private/elite pool area did an AMAZING job ensure we always had our area set up and ready each and every morning! Eduardo Mendoza, our personal waiter, was on point! He was "Johnny on the Spot" and we never went without food or beverages throughout our entire stay! The hotel staff goes above and beyond for all the guests...recommend staying at this property and upgrading to the butler option.

"Poolside Comfort"

If you stay at Villa Del Palmar and want to have the seating at poolside to be available sometimes you have difficulty. If you connect with Moises at the main pool, he can pull off magic! His service includes setting you up where you would like to sit, and making sure that you have shade, a rare commodity on the Riviera Maya;)

What a resort! Great ocean views, pools, restaurants and facilities. Activities on during the day and evening. One bed suite perfectly appointed, and the hammock on the balcony is just the icing. The resort is away from the hotel zone but enjoys a quiet and secluded spot. Lots of loungers on the pool and around the beach. Good spa, if a little pricey. Friendly staff too.

"The best family vacation"

This resort is so spectacular I had to come back for a second time. The food is amazing, the pools are beautiful and the employees are so wonderful. The entertainment crew, Adrian, Pepe and Ariel made sure that my girls had fun at every turn. The pool side staff kept the drinks coming and are sure to check in often. I enjoyed having the same wait staff at bites all week long as well. Its nice to get to know the people working. The staff at this resort do everything they can to give you the very best experience. In the world of COVID-19, this resort is even better. The only time I spent inside was the elevator and the dinner restaurants. So much of this resort is outside, if you are concerned about Covid this is the place for you. Testing on site made it quick and easy.

Our family had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter's graduation trip at Villa Del Palmar, May 29-June 2! Our butler, Rafael, was amazing! Adrian and the activities team were the best! Super friendly and energetic - they got everyone to participate! We learned to salsa and enjoyed all of the water activities (Zumba, volleyball, etc.) Fabulous view from our room, the spa and restaurants were great as well! We will be back!

"Girlfriend trip did not disappoint!!"

I just got back from a week long stay with my sisters at Garza Blanca Cancun. It was phenomenal! The room was fantastic, bed was super comfy, loved the bathtub. The meals in each of the restaurants was incredible. My favorite things were the super friendly staff, the stretch class at 9am on the pier every morning, and the super easy process of getting a Covid test to return to the U.S. They had everything down to a science. We felt safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Massage and Reflexology at the spa were top notch. Highly recommend!!

I would like to start by saying that the grounds, and units are spectacular in both comfort and aesthetics! Not to mention the gourmet culinary experience was superb for our picky palates. However, the service received from Adrian our butler, really took the proverbial cake! Not only was he incredibly attentive to my family's needs, he was always a pleasure to interact with. If you're lucky enough to be assigned Adrian, you can rest assured you are in good hands! My family will be returning in the Fall for a repeat experience. Thank you, Garza Blanca!

We were always greeted at Blanca Blue for breakfast with kind smiles, calling us by name by Carolina and Alondra and the service along with the food was always delicious. The Davinos Italian and Hiroshi Japanese restaurants were our favorites for dinner, poolside for lunch and snacks and Blanca Blue for breakfast.Everywhere we went, the service and the people were superb, there are too many to thank for making our trip so wonderful.

This was my second time at Garza Blanca, and is by far my favorite. The cleanliness and attentiveness of the staff is unparalleled. We had the benefit and joy of Mariana & Omar by the pool who ensured we had everything we desired with cordial and prompt service. The dining experience at Garza us cultivated by chefs that find inspiration in traditional recipes with modern twist. There is nothing about Garza Blanca that leaves you wanting, except to extend your trip and to come back. I am very excited for the formal grand opening and will be back again to see the resort in completion as it is already amazing. I can not say how much the staff work diligently to ensure every aspect of your stay is perfect. We received check-ins frequently to ask how was breakfast, dinner, anything else they can do to make the stay special. This additional care and attention makes Garza Blanca a favorite destination.

"We can't wait to return for our next visit."

After a year and a half of planning our wedding, having to move dates a few times. Not just due to Covid-19 but serval other medical reasons. Thanks to our wedding coordinator Alicia Gabriela Uribe Galicia and her team they finally made it happen. From the moment we walked into the resort this place is breathe taking. The hospitality like no other. It was such an amazing experience. We are so grateful to Alicia Gabriel Uribe Galicia and her team all the emails, phone calls and ideas we wanted for our special day she amazingly made it happen. The spa moment was incredible, our couples massage was incredibly relaxing special because of the nerves we had before the big moment. As we got ready for our ceremony the room was fabulous, ocean front view, double separate rooms for privacy, we couldn't ask for more. Our Gazebo where the ceremony happen was near the ocean, beige satiny covers and 2 fresh roses side medallions. To end our magical night Alicia Gabriela Uribe Galicia and her team, converted our Gazebo into a romantic dinner for 2. Food, drinks and desert were delicious. We're so pleased and thankful with the outcome of how professional and the hospitality everyone provided for us. We can't wait to return for our next visit.

Loved the resort!!!! Fantastic food and service! Everyone was extremely friendly. Lazaro went above and beyond to help schedule things for us, along with even meeting us for our dinner reservations to make sure there wasnt any problems. Caeser was our waiter the first day and he was great. One of the grounds guys stopped and talked to us as we were going to the ocean, and the next day referred to my husband by name asking what the plans were. The wait staff was hilarious at the main restaurant for Garza Blanca (Bleu)theyd joke. My mom ordered a dirty martinithe guy said extra dirty we didnt wash the glass just for you This was seriously beautiful and one of the best in service. Oh and the gym was great!

"Excellent Service, Beautiful Resort, Relaxing Stay"

During out eight day stay, my husband and I were well cared for in every way. This was our third stay at Villa Del Palmar Cancun. We return because of the beautiful grounds, the location away from the craziness of the hotel zone, and the over the top gracious service. The health and safety of guests was a high level of priority and cared for by every staff member we encountered. The grounds of this resort are lush and beautiful. Check in and Check out was friendly, quick and accurate. Our room was always clean and well attended to. We ordered room service breakfast frequently and the room service attendant was so friendly and pleasant. At this resort, there are no small jobs, everyone sets a standard of high quality service. Pool activities and entertainment were energetic, varied and well presented. Moises offered attentive and exceptional poolside service. Chairs always readied. The spa is wonderful and worth taking in a service if possible. The restaurants and food at Villa Del Palmar Cancun are excellent. We ate at every restaurant and each meal was artfully presented and was of excellent quality. Zama restaurant has always been one of our favorites for the quality and creativity of the food. This trip however, Davino restaurant was a delight and was made so by our server Lorenzo. What a charming, kind, and lovely human. He waited on us the first night and we returned for a special anniversary meal the last night that Lorenzo put together. The food was very good, but the memory of that enjoyable night was because of Lorenzo's kind and thoughtful service. Please give our heartfelt thanks to Lorenzo. We did enjoy the All Inclusive Plan for our trip. However, the service you will experience is not tied exclusively to having the AI plan. You will receive excellent service no matter what! I would not hesitate to recommend a leisurely relaxed vacation at this resort. We are looking forward to returning.

"Fantastic experience!"

We were searching for something different for the last two days of our stay. What can be better than a 5 star apartment with beach pool and sea views. It's a stunning resort. Perhaps in terms of beauty the best we have experienced in Cancun. Fantastic pool area with wide open views. The apartment itself is well equipped. We were upgraded to the larger 2 bed with the hot tub on the balcony. I have never come across an apartment so well equipped. The washer/dryer was fantastic, the fridge a necessity. I love the fact that they provide guests with many starter kits. They even fill the apartment with goodies! They are beautifully designed, And huge. Carlos the front desk supervisor was exceptional. Some things thst were less then perfect in life the grill food thst was inediable. The apartment had two a/c units one section wasn't working, the other was freezing cold. The fridge was barely working and the shower in the master unit was close to unworkable. We weren't looking to complain or spend time trying to get them fixed. They didn't spoil or change our enjoyment. Just as a resort you can see behind the stunning exterior it clearly needs some more care. Overall though a wonderful experience and if I came back to Cancun I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

"Amazing experience: above and beyond!!"

My two teen daughters and I visited Villa Del Palmar in Cancun this week. When I say that Im impressed, believe me!!! From the time we saw our name on the drivers sign at the airport to checkout, everything has been wonderful. Ive never been greeted by so many wonderfully kind people in my life!! Lets start with Anibal, our members concierge. As soon as we arrived at the resort, we were taken to the members lounge and greeted by Anibal who quickly set us up with everything we needed to know to make the most of our stay. We arrived before check-in but the staff worked to make sure that we had something to eat and that our room was ready as soon as possible. We had our first lunch at ZAMA, and it was delicious!! Im not used to food being so good at all inclusive resorts, but it really is! Next we were given our room keys. They arrived with our luggage within minutes, which I personally really appreciate as my daughters and I were really excited to get into the sun and beautiful pools and Caribbean ocean! There is always an abundance of towels for guests to use and there are always staff members ready to help you find chairs and umbrellas. We were especially impressed with Samuel-he has been here every day setting us up with a place to relax while we have breakfast at Caprichos. Its a breakfast buffet where the servers are super attentive and the food is wonderful! Omelets are made to order and the selections of other breakfast foods is great!! We have spent the days poolside and wondered to the beach at certain points each day. We have always left our belongings at our chairs and I felt very safe doing so! At the beach you will find beautiful white sand and the beautiful Caribbean sea! There is a floating aqua park that my daughters LOVED! The activities staff was also awesome! They helped my daughters thru the aqua park and were so so kind and accommodating! You can also kayak, paddle board, snorkel etc. Back to the rooms-we states in a one bedroom suite and it was stunning!!! The rooms are a great size and have washer/dryer and full kitchen. I think only the studio has a kitchenette. The bathrooms are large and beautiful as well! We have ordered room service a few times when we were too tired to go out and the room service staff is always wonderful. They always make sure that you are satisfied with your meal and service. Hiroshi, one of the restaurants on site is a Japanese fusion place that had really amazing food!!!My daughters who are hard to please food wise, loved it!!!Service in every restaurant is excellent. I truly cant get over how kind everyone is. We spent most of our days pool side and had excellent service there too!! We had Raul one day and Candelario the other days. They are both so sweet and attentive. We ordered our drinks and food thru Raul and Candelario and after a day, Candelario knew exactly what we needed and brought us things before we asked! Hes truly an asset to this team!! Also Always checking on us was Samuel. He brings fresh towels, moves chairs and umbrellas around depending on your preference and has cleaned our sunglasses for us. This attention to detail is really what sets this place apart. The landscaping is gorgeous! The entertainment staff is sóo much fun!! They have us all smiling and laughing!! Pepe, Adrian, Alex and Alejandro dance their butts off and always have this energy that has everyone so engaged! Ive taken the water Zumba, played beach volleyball, cornhole, watched a magic show, live music in the evenings and a very talented saxophonist on the pool deck! I cant say enough about the lengths the staff goes to ensure a wonderful stay, to keep us entertained, happy and wanting for nothing! We will be back in august and bringing more family!! I cannot forget to mention Sabby! Sabby was our first experience with Villa del palmar back in 2018. He took us on a tour of the property and helped me to find an option that was right for my family to be able to enjoy this paradise year after year!!

"Beautiful resort. Superb service!"

My wife and I travelled to this wonderful resort for a little getaway and were simply blown away. The entire resort grounds were beautiful and meticulously kept. Our room was luxurious with amazing views of the ocean and Isla Mujeres. The food at all of the restaurants was excellent, but Davino (Italian) truly sparkled. The drinks were all top-shelf and well prepared. The real star of the show, though, was the service from the attentive staff. We were well taken care of, no matter what part of the resort we were in. Our butler, Otikio, went above and beyond, making sure that we had everything we wanted, and then some. I cant say enough about how well we taken care of by everyone we interacted with. Thank you, Villa Del Palmar, for an amazing vacation!

"A private resort in paradise!"

Staff is INCREDIBLE!!! By far the best friendliest and most accommodating staff of any hotel/resort I have ever been to. Whether it was front desk, waiters/waitresses, housekeeping, or the activities team, the staff provides an incredible family atmosphere that is very unique and unlike other resorts. We had Candelario as our deck attendant, who was super friendly and always checking in with us for drinks or food. All of our waiters at each restaurant (we tried them all) were fantastic. We had Jose at Zama, Carmen at Hiroshi, and Francisco at La Casona. We ate some of the BEST FOOD we have EVER had at the different restaurants. You can't go wrong with any of them. I would also highly recommend participating in pool activities with Pepe and Adrian! They are the absolute best and help provide such a fun and inclusive atmosphere for guests of all ages by the pool! We did everything from pool volleyball to salsa lessons with them.The rooms are incredible - all are very clean (serviced 3x a day) and offer a great view of the ocean. Each room also comes with a complementary patio hammock. The resort is very isolated from the main strip, so if you are looking to "get away," this is your spot. My only critiques include that since the resort is so far away from the main strip/downtown, a taxi costs ~$80 USD each way (a crazy amount) and the drinks at the resort are VERY watered down. I'm not sure I've ever tasted drinks that were so blatantly watered down. If you are looking for your fair share, stick with the beer.Overall, 10/10 experience. We would definitely go back and see our friends at Villa Del Palmar Cancun!

"Amazing All-Inclusive"

My sister & I booked Villa Del Palmar last month (the end of April, 2021). The hotel was immaculate, the staff was friendly & welcoming, our view as incredible, the food was phenomenal and the spa exceeded our expectations. I would go again!!Felipe greeted us at the front desk & was helpful with room & resort details. We even were served a strawberry daiquiri.We really liked our concierge but I forgot her name! She made our first dinner reservations at Blanca Blue.Go to Blanca Blue if you want a VERY nice restaurant that has high-end dishes. More suited for a nice couples or adult dinner. My sister & I had seared scallops, grilled avocado & tender baby back ribs. MARTIN was our server & was very attentive.I would recommend the STK House fillet. EFRAIN, our server, made sure we were taken care of the entire dinner. MARTIN at the sushi restaurant was a fun waiter and the sushi was top notch. The Spa-Don't hesitate. . . GO! Oh, my gosh, the spa was more than I even imagined. We were greeted by GUSTAVO who was our "butler". He took us into the vapor/steam room, put towels on our head, brought us drinks, held our hand as we went into the cold plunge pool & settled us into the warm jetted tub to await our 80 minute massage. Gustavo even brought us an iced detox drink & iced green tea. Whatever we wanted! When we returned from our massage, he had even dried our swimsuits.The Massage- 80 minutes in your own personal cabana. My masseuse was LETICIA & my sister had NELSY. They were both AMAZING!I highly recommend this resort!

"New Family in Cancun!"

We stayed for a week here (all inclusive for 5 days) and it was nothing short of amazing!FACILITY: Housekeeping was incredible- I havent had such attentive housekeeping before, They cleaned our rooms when we were at breakfast, toward the late afternoon, and after we returned for dinner (which looked very relaxed and cozy)! On the deck, Manuel oversaw the security and was kind enough to help our family reserve our favorite pool spots in time. He even helped us take special towel for our excursion to Isla Mujeres. DINING: The food was phenomenal: some of the best seafood Ive ever tasted. We ate at Hiroshi and Carmen was our waiter. She recommended delicious stuff to try and such a sweet person, taking interest in our family. We also ate at La Casons Steakhouse with Francisco as our waiter. He was very attentive and awesome! The food, especially the appetizers, were very tasty. The Mexican restaurant, Zamá, such had amazing food and service, we had to go a second time! Jose (manager?) and Jose Nava, our waiter, were fantastic and knew exactly what to recommend for our taste. We also had help from Marcos and Gustavo who both had attention to detail. Definitely try the octopus ceviche and scallops! We also ate at the Italian restaurant, Davino, which was also delicious- unfortunately I cannot remember who helped us since it was our first night. Basically, you cant go wrong with where you eat here.POOL/BAR SERVICE: Candelario was our deck attendant. He was kind, fun, attentive, and knew exactly what our family liked- he always knew what wed order which I found impressive given that he serves many people throughout the day. We also sat in Victors section a couple times which overlooks the beach. I definitely recommend sitting where Candelario or Victor are because they are the best! The Tiki Bar on the beach was probably my favorite spot to sit for a drink because of Gabriel and Abel. Gabriel was the most amazing bartender and knew exactly which customized drink I wanted every time I came to the bar. You MUST spend time at the Tiki Bar. ENTERTAINMENT: These guys were incredible: Pepe, Adrian, Sebastian, Alexis, and Moses (who helped in various ways). They had fun activities for all ages and were comical, light-hearted, and so much fun to be around. They love playing with water balloons and Ill lake their ideas for games back home! 20/10CRITIQUES: it is a little far north from the strip of other hotels, but if youre looking for a more relaxed and private area, this is your speed. Id definitely recommend going to the island, Isla Mujeres for at least one day. The best beach Ive ever seen and a town feel, too. MORAL OF THE STORY: it was a much needed vacation after the year we had and the people here made it hard to leave. Such hard-working folks who made you feel like family!

"Excellent vacation location!"

Lovely accommodations, food, pools and view! We love this resort and usually vacation there once a year. It is directly across from Isla de Mujeres, north of Cancun, so quiet and away from the activity. We used all-inclusive this time and in the past because who wants to cook on vacation? The multiple restaurants have excellent food, including sushi, steak, Mediteranian, Mexican, pizza, and an extensive breakfast buffet. The staff are wonderful, especially Elite Concierge Lulu Puente, Carlos the Elite Pool Butler, Zama waiters Jorge Gomez and Jose Lopez, Hiroshi waiter Carmen Jimenzo, Caprichos breakfast waiter Cesar Soberanis, and La Cosina waiter Saul. We stayed for multiple weeks, so really appreciated the multiple bathrooms and the clothes washer and dryer in our one bedroom suite!

My wife and I had two fantastic dinners at this lovely restaurant. We were very lucky to be served by Deyvison and assisted by Julio and Lionell. Denisse, the hostess, was lovely and checked in on us that our dinner was up to our expectations.Deyvison was a great server and made our dinner experience exceptional. I would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. The Garza group are very fortunate to have such wonderful employees like Deyvison and Denisse.

"Amazing Property with Gracious and Welcoming Staff"

Our family of 5 stayed at the Garza Blanca resort after their soft opening and while the remainder of the hotel was still under construction. Despite not yet being fully open, it was clear that this hotel took their commitment to guest satisfaction seriously. I do a lot of traveling for work and have staying in many nice hotels as a result, but Garza Blanca may be one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. The facility was immaculately clean, pool-side servers were polite and prompt, the pools were heated perfectly, and every need we had was met.The room service food (we primarily had breakfast) and the all inclusive meals were great. We thought STK left a bit to be desired in terms of quality and taste of food, but it was certainly the outlier in this case. Every other experience was top notch. From electronic blinds to magnetic doors, it was clear that the designers had thought of it all. We are already planning our next trip back.

We recently spent 11 nights there and wanted to give a few shout outs to Candelario and Martin at the Pool Servers and Jose Cruz at the Japanese restaurant. You made the trip memorable. The resort itself is nice. Selection on restaurants is limited doesnt seat big parties since our group was 21.

"Spring break with the family"

We came to Cancun for the first time with the whole family, 2 adults and 3 kids, to Villa Del Palmar for spring break. This was our first big vacation since COVID-19 shut downs and we were looking forward to fun sun and a return to normal vacation and break. We were not disappointed. The weather was wonderful, the resort is amazing, the food was rich tasty and indulgent, in the azure blue sea was gorgeous.The services offered by the resort were excellent. Housekeeping, poolside service, concierge services, restaurants, gardens etc. was all maintained and managed at the highest professional level.The staff really strive to make every guest feel like they are celebrities and VIPs. Id like to make a shout out to Alondras and her concierge team who made every effort to help us get restaurant reservations, arrange Covid testing prior to departure , and book amazing adventures and excursions offsite. They were great. Thanks. The two bedroom suite was perfect for our full family size. Theres plenty of room for everyone to have beds to stretch out and relax when we needed to get out of the Sun. I would recommend Villa Del Palmar to anyone interested in going to Cancun. I look forward to coming back.

"We were back again..."

This is our 4th time at Villas del Palmar, it is always a pleasant experience from the moment we left the airport and the moment we arrived. The staff welcomed us when we got out of the transportation service with a great attitude of service and joy for our arrival. We had planned to come here originally in December 2020 and had to reschedule for Spring Break 2021 due to COVID. Very clean facility and more than adequate safety measures. All the staff wore masks and complied with COVID prevention. Also, an extremely efficient process for COVID testing prior to departure. There was a charge for testing, but we go it back in resort credits.We loved staying at the resort from start to finish. They welcome you and treat you as if you were a celebrity, they make you feel so good they pick you up in a comfortable SUV and take you to the resort. Once at the hotel everyone is so friendly and respectful and you feel at home. We liked the detail that they have of taking their hands to their hearts when greeting. It is a very beautiful place, with excellent service. The very nice pools and an always relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Not only is the resort being absolutely breathtaking, but the service is equally impressive.There are five very rich restaurants, there is always somewhere ready to eat. We did the all-inclusive package, and the food did not disappoint us. All the staff is very friendly and very attentive that we were always having a great time. I would like to congratulate the chefs and specially Zamas Chef Oscar Macedo. There was no food that was not exquisite. We always took lunches in Zama and a few dinners. Chef Macedo treated us like royalty, all his staff are so kind, and they always do their best to make you feel very happy and enjoy your meals. Thanks to waiters for pampering us.Housekeeping staff is also excellent. Our room was cleaned every day and our refrigerator was stocked with beer, water, soda, and light snacks. Extremely happy with housekeeping providing excellent service. From the amazing meals from room service to anything you could need at the poolside, they will truly do anything and everything to help make your stay amazing. There is room for all ages and tastes. You can relax and read or do yoga and there are also activities for people who have more energy and are looking to have fun. We also went to use the Spa and it was very nice, the service was perfect, very nice sauna and they even had a place to relax after the Spa. There is also a club-type center for children and my granddaughter loved to spend some time there doing activities while we relaxed in the pool. Something else I noticed is that when leaving the hotel or with the hostess at the restaurants, they always took into account who we were and what room we were in and also when we returned, it seemed a very valuable safety criterion.If you want a vacation where they make you feel good and enjoy every moment, Villa Del Palmar Cancun is the most indicated. I would return to this resort without hesitation, and we would definitely recommend it.Thank you Villa Del Palmar Cancun Beach Resorts & Spa.

"We enjoyed our stay"

We had planned to come here originally in April 2020 and had to cancel due to Covid. We received a call a month or so later with a special offer - which turned out to be from marketing and included a 90 minute presentation about their residence club. We had the two bedroom ocean view and it was amazing. Comfortable, washer and dryer and large patio with lounger, table and hammock. Maid service was outstanding. Pools and hot tubs were good. We had to get down early to reserve chairs. We were surprised to see the towel game in full effect but it was spring break and the place seemed very busy. The service around the pool was great. Loved Samuel. He would come around a few times a day to adjust our umbrella, clean sunglasses and anything else you needed. The servers were also awesome and you can order food right to your loungers which was convenient. Drinks were very good. Definitely a step above other AIs I have been to. The dinner reservations were a bit annoying but I understand necessary due to Covid and pre-planning. We ate at every restaurant and I will say all were fabulous. Hiroshi and Davino (Italian) were probably our favorites but Id go back to any of them. Be sure to walk over to Garza Blanca and book Blanca Blue. It was amazing - Mexican fusion. I dont think many knew you could eat there as part of the VDP all inclusive plan. Service was top notch everywhere. Activity group was good - enough to do during the day but not overkill. Appreciated the daily Zumba in the pool :) Not a ton to do at night so if you are looking for a late night party I would probably consider somewhere else. The ferry to Isla Mujeres is right here next to the pier. However this ferry is very slow. If you take a 10 minute cab you can be to the fast ferry which operates much more frequently and takes 1/3 the time. The palapa bar on the beach was super fun and always fun. Bartenders everywhere were so great. Service in general across all areas was a 10/10. You have to sign a ticket for everything you order. So you can always leave gratuity on that if you choose - rather than hauling cash around. Kids club - the gals who worked here were amazing. They knew kids by name and had lots of fun things to do. You could drop kids for an hour activity or have them stay longer if you wish. We just looked at the schedule and took them for the activities that interested them.The presentation we agreed to with our discounted rate ended up being 3 hours long - not the 90 minutes promised. So keep that in mind. Others we met said theirs was even longer - I heard as long as 6 hours. Covid - all the staff wore masks and complied. Id say maybe half of the guests did. We saw several groups at dinners without masks- even walking through the indoor restaurants and lobbies. Covid testing before departure was easy. Overall loved this place and would head back. Would like to check out their Cabo and Puerto Vallarta resorts.

"It grew on me"

The first day we had trouble with finding an available restaurant for dinner, we had the all-inclusive package (I would not recommend staying here without getting the food package) and had to order like ten plates of food at dinner because the apps were so small (some were only one bite). My big complaint was that my tub didn't work so I wasn't able to enjoy the room as much, but the breakfast were very good (the room service food is terrible avoid it at all costs), and the workers are exceedingly helpful and polite I enjoyed the stay more as I got to see people working who I recognized and who recognized me (everyone is polite and friendly). I actually can see why people would get time shares because of how helpful the hotel is, it made it easy to see yourself staying for longer amounts of time.

"One of my favorite places!!"

WOW!! Before I elaborate too much into this review I have to say that I have been coming to the Villa del palmar for six years now and I love this place SO much. This place is ideal for people of all ages, the food is 5 star quality (no joke) and the service and treatment given by staff is exceptional. This resort has restaurants with diverse delicious food, great entertainment (seriously you guys), and a staff that is beyond compare.BLANCA BLUE (restaurant): On our first day my family and I arrived in the evening and had dinner at the restaurant Blanca Blue (which is filled with Mexican cuisine). Martin was our waiter and he was amazing. What a better way to start the trip than having a friendly and cheery waiter. This restaurant is fairly new but is absolutely delicious. Their tortilla soup is the bomb and the buuelo fritter is fantastic. It was so good I had to come back again and was served by Irineo, who was fantastic, and Deyvison. Shout out to Deyvison as he was so wonderful and kind that I literally started crying when I left the restaurant at how lucky l I am to be able to come to this resort where there are people like him. CAPRICHOS (restaurant/buffet): Every morning for breakfast we went to Caprichos and I absolutely love it!! We were always greeted by Fernanda who is a literal doll. So sweet and friendly. It's a very diverse buffet where the food is all fresh and tasty. And it helps that this restaurant is blessed with having great chefs such as Chef Abraham. My family knows him from when he worked at Hiroshi making the world's best sushi ever and it was so nice to see him again and in a position he has so earned.Most of the time we were served by Cesar (who we know from previous years) who I absolutely love. I have never seen him without a smile on his face. We were also served by Elias who my family personally saw be treated awfully by a very rude couple, which makes me want to say a big thank you to Elias and all the staff for putting up with less than favorable people. You guys rock :) And not to be forgotten, the manager Pablo was always happy and very interactive which I appreciated very much.ENTERTAINMENT: I love the entertainment at this resort. One of me and my sister's favorite things to do was participate in the activities put on. They are fun, entertaining and for people of all ages. I have to just say how amazing Pepe(Jose) and Alex(Alexandro) are. I mainly saw Pepe but both of them were fantastic and so fun. You guys kept me in stitches laughing during water aerobics, and I loved the activities. Thank you guys so much and keep up the good work! And not to be forgotten, Mauricio was also present for lots of the activities (both day and night if I'm not mistaken) was awesome, and I hope he gets recognition for his hard work.BITES (restaurant): During the day along with swimming, relaxing, and playing we did a lot of eating. Bites is fantastic. I love the food, and of course the staff. The manager Armando was always wonderful and I want to say how amazing Azucena and Candelario are. Azucena and Candelario were both so nice, friendly and on top of it. I also want to mention the fact that I personally saw a(nother) couple that were rude and unappreciative towards Candelario (the couple were unfortunately sittting right next to us) and he was still so nice. While I was sitting over here wanting to smack those people into shaping up. So thank you for putting up with that :) I also want to mention Jose. I didn't have the pleasure of having him as a server this trip but last trip he was my absolute favorite server and was so cheery, and happy. He was an absolute joy the last time I was here.BY THE POOL: The pool(s) and the surrounding areas are wonderful and I have to say thank you to Moises. Thank You! He is hands down absolutely fantastic, so friendly, so awesome, and a joy to see around the pool. And regarding the quality of the pools: one of the things that I value about the Villa del Palmar is the fact that the resort is kept clean and tidy and the pools are clean and not filled with spilled drinks and uncomely people (*cough the Hard Rock Hotel). DAVINO(restaurant): One of, if not my favorite restaurant here, is Davino. To start off, the manager Manuel so amazing. He is terrific and my family absolutely loves him and his restaurant alike. He's very interactive with all the people that come in and very helpful. Regarding the food, I could write an entire review on how good the food is, but one thing I will say is that the caprese is phenomenal in my opinion and I've eaten caprese all over Europe so that's saying something. And much thanks to Chef Fabian for his excellent dishes, he is truly a world class chef.Me and my family love this restaurant so much that we decided to eat here on our last day of our vacation. Antonio was our server and he was terrific. He had incredible English, was amiable and was such a joy to have as our server on the last night of our trip. Also, the assistant manager Ricardo also checked up on us and was lovely as well.La Casona STK(restaurant): Another restaurant we have been to was La Casona STK. The food there is very good, with excellent steak, however the only complaint I have about this entire resort has to do with this restaurant. As my sister so perfectly said, "That restaurant is sad." I agree and here's why. While the food is good, the servers aren't that great. Just because you work at a fancy restaurant doesn't mean that you have to lose your personality, act all serious, or smile less. By no way are all of the servers like this (some of them are quite the opposite) but I say this because I see this as a place for improvement to turn the experience at this restaurant from a 7 to a 10. Also I have never in the six years I have been going here seen a manager for this restaurant. Not once. The manager's at all the other restaurants (with the exception of Hiroshi) are very interactive and I see them a lot though.However with that being said we were greeted very well by Valeria who was absolutely fantastic. You make your restaurant an 8 vs a 7 for me so thank you!ZAMÁ: Another fantastic restaurant! I highly recommend the Mexican platter and their Churros. Those Churros!! SO GOOD ;) The manager Jose is fantastic and very interactive. And it was wonderful to have Ruben as our server.HIROSHI: Last but certainly not least Hiroshi. The sushi here is top quality. To put it into perspective, my mom, having gone to Japan, says that this restaurant has the best sushi outside of Japan which is a pretty big deal. Jose is a wonderful server who we have known from years prior and I highly recommend him.I want to say how grateful I am towards all of the staff and for always going out of their way to make trips like this memorable for not only my family but to others as well. I love you guys so much and this resort wouldn't be what it is without you. I want to also say a BIG thank you to Amr who was so phenomenal towards me and my family, and I know does a fantastic job at the Villa del Palmar. Thank You!! (Just FYI all the people I have mentioned and elaborated on are all ones that stood out to me and helped make this trip memorable for me, not just every staff member I came across at the Villa del Palmar.)I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this resort. It doesn't matter if it's a vacation for family, couples, singles, friends YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. :)

All around perfect. Everything was done to my liking. Mattresses were so comfortable. The restaurants were all very good. The beach was warm and not to rough. The pools were very pleasant. Breakfast at the restaurant was almost top notch, ask for Eduardo to serve you, hes great. Great place, Im definitely coming back here.

"Spring Break 2021"

Much needed vacation for me and my family. Service was top-notch with Villa Del Palmar Cancun, starting from before our pick-up at the airport. Our pre-trip concierge, Araceli, made sure our transportation was set, even with last minute changes due to plane issues. Diana at Member's Concierge booked all our restaurant reservations and even provided a special treat for our son's 10th birthday with cake and room decor. Pool attendants, Azucena and Moises treated us like stars catered to our every need and kept the food and drinks coming. Never a dull moment with Jose our activities guru!! Cancun owes us nothing!!

"Garza Blanca"

Enjoyed our stay so far, food and accommodations have been very good. Staff is the highlight, especially Eloisa Martinez she was everywhere, on the beach at the pool and restaurant. She excelled in all areas of making us comfortable and welcome. If you are all-inclusive you still must sign for everything which is a little annoying, also the covid test is not paid for but given as a hotel credit. If you are on the A/I plan it amounts to an additional fee that can be used at the market.

"We came for the spa and got so much more"

After receiving the covid vaccine, my hubby and I were eager to hit the beach (we live in Chicago). We actually canceled our reservation at a different hotel after learning this place has one of the best spas in Cancun. It did not disappoint. We had two massage appointments and the entire experience was fantastic. The spa offers butlers who help you navigate their series of the steam room, cold plunge, hot tub, warm tub, prior to the massage. All the while, refreshing your drinks, offering light snacks, and head and neck rubs. It was perfection. Thank you Dalila, Leini, Victoria, Adlemy we had such a wonderful experience with you!Besides the spa, every detail of the resort is wonderful. The pool and beach are beautiful, service is outstanding (gosh I wish I could remember everyones names Benjamin was one wonderful server we had often). Oh and Leticia was so kind at check-in she saw we were exhausted and hungry after traveling and quickly hooked us up at a restaurant that was overfilled. Try the lamb mole at the Mexican restaurant in the middle of the resort -- it's incredible!My husband is a native Spanish speaker and he got the scoop from the staff that they really like working there and that the hotel was really fair to them when Covid hit. Both my husband and I are pretty well-traveled and tend to prefer staying somewhere closer to locals vs resorts, but we both agreed that we would return here and probably will soon. Finally, the hotel is great, the operation is quite fantastic, everything is very well thought out but most importantly, their workers are clearly the soul and blood of this place, they truly deserve all the credit. Please do take good care of them, they seriously deserve it!

"Beautiful "

Just got back from a week at Villa del Palmar, and it was wonderful! The grounds, pools, rooms and buildings are beautiful. My friend and I stayed in a studio room we were very comfortable, had a great view, and a hammock on the balcony. There are many restaurants to choose from on site, but I thought the best food was at the snack bar. The pizza, nachos, and quesadillas were delicious. The buffet was only open 1 night a week (I think because of Covid), but I did not like the food there, so I don't recommend it. The spa is lovely. I had a massage and the agave ritual. Both included a 1 hour hydrotherapy session before. Everyone I met from check in to check out was very friendly and helpful. I had an incredibly relaxing vacation. I can't wait to go back.

"Paradise in Cancun"

We recently returned from a fabulous six day vacation at Villa Del Palmar. I'm rating this five starts for these reasons:Resort - It's lovely. Lush landscaping, beautiful pools, comfortable suites and a wonderful view of the Caribbean from just about everywhere.Restaurants - We did the all inclusive and never felt the need to dine offsite. There was plenty of variety and the food was excellent. Did we have a couple things we didn't love? Of course. That's to be expected but overall, it was wonderful. Our favorites were Hiroshi and Davino.Location - Villa Del Palmar was in a fairly remote area; definitely not close to the hotel zone. We liked it that way! It was quiet and we felt like we were in paradise. There was a convenience store right next door and a cute gift shop with a starbucks right on site.Service - Excellent. Enrique, Samuel, Benjamin and countless others made our time at the pool enjoyable. I wish I could remember names of wait staff in the restaurants - all very friendly, efficient and professional.Covid considerations - Very clean facility and more than adequate safety measures. Also, an extremely efficient process for covid testing prior to departure.Housekeeping staff - Also excellent. No sooner did I call about a burnt out lightbulb and inoperable blow dryer and someone was knocking on our door to resolve our concerns. Our room was cleaned every day and our refrigerator was stocked with beer, water, soda and light snacks. Extremely happy with housekeeping - excellent.Timeshare Presentation - Happily we didn't sit through the presentation. I heard it was about 3 hours long.Registration and checkout - Staff was very professional and kind but I think this is an area where they could use some improvement in procedures. It took a very long time to check in (over 30 minutes including the wait in line.) We were told our room wasn't ready and we should check back in an hour or two. That was fine but we knew we'd have to wait in line for another 15 minutes just to get our key. Maybe they can employ a process similar to disney where you get a text message when your room is ready. Both check in and check out was heavy on paper - might be time to streamline their process.One last note on the Isle Mujares. The ferry to the island is a short walk up the beach but keep in mind it is a ferry that transports vehicles and people so it's not as quick as the passenger ferries that you can get to after a 10-15 minute cab ride. If you have all day, the cargo ferry is fine but if you want to maximize your time at the island, take the passenger ferry.

This was flat out the best food and service of the week. Jose and Denisse were amazing each evening for dinner. The food was off the chart good. The giant short Rib with mole is the pinnacle of short rib dishes I had had. The grilled Sea Bass and the tuna ceviche were superb as well. I recommend this place every day and twice on Sunday.

"Great Destination"

My husband and I visited Garza Blanca in Cancun and we were really impressed with the quality of the property and the service. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out everything was outstanding. The quality of food and drinks are second to none and the customer service commitment is excellent. The pool areas, the restaurants, the beach, were remarkable. It is almost imposible to mention everyone, however, here are some names that stand out: Alondra and Luis at Blanca Blue and compliments to the chef and the kitchen staff, the best breakfast and service I've ever had. At the elite beach/pool Carlos and Samuel went above and beyond and Benito and Ramos served the best drinks and the best sandwich lunches. In the sales office Sabby, Richard and the entire team were amazing. Our room was cleaned and refreshed every night paying attention to every detail. Garza Blanca delivers the best.

"Birthday trip"

I chose Garza Blanca for my early birthday trip in March. From the moment we checked in, my wife Jennifer and I experienced world class service and attention from every single resort team member. The resort is gorgeous with modern decor and amenities everywhere you look. And super clean!! Now on to the Garza team: Eloisa and Victor were over the top with their hospitality at the pool area. Just AMAZING! Lets just say that we were never without a drink. As busy as they were, Eloisa and Victor made a point to stop and conversed with us every chance they got. At the restaurant Blanca Blu, breakfast and dinner were outstanding. Every entree looks like a work of art. The head chef, Tiago, is a genius and very creative. We are grateful to have met Tiago and even got to chat with him on a few occasions. Not only did Tiago make some great recommendations from the menu, he also made us a couple of his special off menu creations. The wait staff which includes Armando, Eduardo, and Daniel were phenomenal. Not to mention the hostess, Alondra, who always welcomed us with a warm smile. Our butler Rene, made sure everything was in order and that we are comfortable at all times. He personally oversaw our stay at the hotel with the utmost care. Last but not least, a HUGE THANK YOU to Garza Blancas manager, Otto. He treated us the same way he would a celebrity VIP guest. I was surprised 2 nights in a row with a birthday floral bouquet and then a delicious chocolate birthday cake (my weakness). Im pretty sure that Otto and Rene had something to do with my birthday surprises, but being the humble gentlemen that they are, they didnt want to take credit for the kind gestures. Needless to say, we loved everything about Garza Blanca. And already planning our next trip back!!

"Some of the best food and service Ive ever had"

Villa del palmar is a beautiful resort located outside the hotel zone but its an amazing resort. This hotel had beautiful views, wonderfulPools, incredible restaurants, and its somewhere I cannot wait to get back to. We were greeted by our personal concierge, Leticia, who was very kind and went out of her way daily to ensure we had a great stay. The food: every meal we had was wonderful! All the restaurants offer a wide selection of food and as someone who is a bit of a foodie and well traveled, I can promise you the food is excellent! Amr, the food and beverage manager, went above and beyond to make sure our meals were incredible! The one piece of advice I will give you when it comes to food... MAKE RESERVATIONS for dinner! The restaurants fill up (this might be due to Covid) so just make reservations a night in advance. This was the key to us enjoying each meal without having to wait. For the kids: There are 2 kid pools as well as a kids club. The staff inside the kids club is beyond wonderful and very caring. They do activities, games, movies and more. My 7 year old loved it! The remaining pools are also a lot of fun for the kids but even with a packed resort and several kids, it was never loud or felt like a family thing. If youre here as a couple, youll still love it. The service: Ive stayed at over 15 all inclusive resorts and this is the first to have not only a beverage attendant but also one dedicated to taking care of your towels and chairs, Moises took care of us and he was incredible. Daily he would pre-reserve our preferred chairs at the pool, lay our our towels, adjust our umbrella and more, he even cleaned our sunglasses. Jose, who was our pool attendant for the stay, made sure we had a bucket of water in ice anything else we wanted to drink, and even remembered our favorite beverages day after day. The beach: the sand here is a fine white sand that feels amazing to walk in. The water is a bit clouded with sea weed but there are Bali beds on the beach you can just grab for free if you want to lounge out by the ocean. The pools: The adult pool and the kids pool are both heated, which in March was very nice. The main pool has views of the ocean and was our prime place to spend our time. The rooms: we booked a 1 bedroom ocean view. The view was beautiful and the main living room offered a Murphy bed which was much nicer than a sofa bed for our daughter. You also get 2 bathrooms in that room which is very nice, and a large balcony with a hammock. Overall we had a wonderful 6 nights here and will come again. Whether youre traveling with family or just as a couple, youll love the value you get here! Chantelle Turner.

"Amazing Birthday vacation "

From the moment my husband and I got there we received excellent service from Ronald greeted us with a "welcome home". He was a great first impression and made us feel like we belonged. From there we meet our butler Rene, who is one of the hardest working employee we have ever met. He took us to our room and made us feel right at home. Every day he would check in on us to see if there was anything we needed from making dinner reservations to make sure we had games in the room when it was storming out. He also helped my husband plan a birthday surprise. Our favorite restaurant was Blanca Blu, on our first night there, where we met our server José and Denise who made the meal an experience for us and not just eating. After dinner the head chef Tiago came out to make sure the meal was everything we desired. We saw him through out the week as he continued to make sure the food was perfect.We also visited the spa where we received amazing couples massages from Victoria and Denise. We would like to thank everyone who we met during our visit, we will definitely be coming back soon.

3 course meals, environment, entertainment, activities; all were an amazingly fun experience. if you have the extra buck to stay here, I recommend it. rooms are large, clean, and most come with ocean view, the safety at this hotel was incredible, communication between front desk and taxi companies notified each other of who and when people would be going and coming back. I felt extremely safe. As well, most taxi people offer to wait for you during your shopping or out eating so you have a safe drive back to your hotel ( they don't charge for the wait, but tips are appreciated)

"Excellent stay"

This was our first vacation since COVID and also the first one with our 6- month-old. We waited until we were both vaccinated but at the resort, we were pleasantly surprised with how good of a job the staff did in taking COVID precautions seriously and especially in the fact that more people were considerate of wearing masks indoors when possible (i. e. when not dining or working out). We also lucked out that the resort misty have been 2/3 vacant when were were there.The resort was beautiful and the food was amazing. We were never disappointed. On that note, we wanted to give special recognition to Antonio Mendoza, who served us dinner at Davino on two separate nights and was easily one of the best waiters we've ever had, as well as Mr. Amir Idress for going out of his way to accomodate our dietary concerns.

We always enjoy visiting the Villa Del Palmar resorts! This vacation we tried the Cancun location. The room, grounds, and pools are always in pristine condition. We cant say enough about the staff - Moises, Martin, Jose, Samuel and Alex - they were so friendly and attentive. Moises visited with us and answered all of our questions regarding Mexico. He was always cleaning all of my glasses because I constantly have fingerprints on them! The staff is like family, they take time to get to know you and we got to know them. I was also pleased to hear how well the resort has taken care of their employees during the pandemic. That says a lot about the ownership- happy employees makes happy customers! I am always sad to leave. Until next time- thank you VDP!!

"Garza Blanca does it again!!"

Garza Blanca does it again...this time in Cancun! We were blown away with the experience of having a concierge/butler. Using WhatsApp we were able to communicate with Adrian and Rene anytime of day and into the evening for reservations, general information, and for guidance on our COVID testing. The entire staff displays that Garza Blanca hospitality and that heartfelt hand over their heart when they greet you; a habit I picked up too.The resort is just beautiful! The grounds are meticulously kept. The pools were perfectly blue. The ocean view of those turquoise waters was breathtaking! The rooms were so comfortable and serene that staying in them was a treat. The white and green color schemes are clean and fresh and invite you to just truly enjoy the the peaceful ambiance. Whether we were swinging in the hammock or sitting around, we were able to completely unwind. Thats what the Garza Blanca experience does...it makes you so comfortable that nothing seems urgent or pressing. Time seems to slow down just for you. Thanks Garza Blanca and thanks Rene and Adrian and all the other Garza staff for making our trip a fantastic one, yet again!

"My FAVORITE Vaca! "

I was just about to write my 5 star review for Garza Blanca Cancun, when I saw a 1 star review that was written just few days ago. Being there for 10 days and having one of the best vacations ever, i had to read it. It was in Spanish, so i translated the review in English.Mr. "CanadaClayton", sorry , but you are absolutely WRONG! I have been at Garza for 10 days and my parents loved it so much that they decided to stay from Dec 28th - March 11th. CRAZY I KNOW, but obviously that means it was MORE than worth it. Not only is the service impeccable, but every single person working there is so nice, hardworking, and pleasant which is very rare to find anywhere. With all due respect I have to dissagree with everything you said! I even checked your other reviews, they are mostly 1 or 2 star. So I guess you are one of those complainers that is never satisfied.Now, I want to tell you about my experience:Grounds of the resort are absolutely gorgeous. They are working on the other side of the resort, but I have not seen one speck of dust for the 10 days of my visit. The servers are amazing, they don't walk, they run all the time to make sure that you have everything you can possibly need, especially Victor. After every dip in the pool, Victor made sure we came out with fresh towels and the pool chairs made nicely. His up-lifting fun personality made going to the pool that much better. As for room service, Antonia is one of the sweetest people I have met. I needed a smaller/ flatter pillow to sleep with since I have neck issues, and within less than 3 minutes, she was at my door with options of pillows to choose from. Buttler Adrian was there any time you needed him. I have never met a more selfless person who would help you with anything and make you feel part of the Garza family. For instance, after my 10 days at Garza unfortunately came to an end, and my parents continued their stay, I kindly messaged Adrian asking if he could do me the favor of ordering my mom flowers for her birthday, and without hesitation, it was a done deal! He made sure to even hand write a personal card from me! The bartenders were excellent, they'll make you any drink you desire, plus if you are into high end Tequilas, they have them there.All in all, I can say that this resort is one of the best I have ever been to. Do yourself a favor and book this trip ASAP! Thank you to all at Garza for making this vacation unforgettable. See you VERY soon.Leana Sapun

"AMAZING LUXURY HotEL"

WOW ! There are no other resorts like the Tafer Residence Club and Garza Blanca that provide class, luxury, art, and absolute best customer service! The moment you walk into the hotel you can tell that the designers took their time with the details. The decor of all their resorts are so beautiful. This hotel has só many pools and they are heated with over 4 jacuzzis. We were celebrating an anniversary and they upgraded our room to one bedroom suite, which was bigger than my old apt in the states. They decorated our room and provided us with a full time butler, Javier who was also amazing! I'm not one for all-inclusive options which we opted-out of but after trying their restaurants I would definitely consider next time. Blanca Blue is my favorite restaurant their again amazing decor and service with beautiful views. Ask for Randy! This hotel, although away fro the hotel zone has access to private white sand beach and you have access to everything at Villa del Palmer resort. Also was within walking distance to ferry for Isa Mujers for $15 usd per person for 30minute trip, i totally recommend and visit North Beach, so beautiful. Chino, with member service was so nice and gave us tour around resort! For luxury, cleanliness, decor, views, privacy, and great service for the price is amazing. I have stayed at places like Secret and Dreams and would prefer Garza Blanca, you wont go wrong!

This is our first time staying at Garza Blanca Cancun. From the moment you arrive they treat you like a VIP. The service is amazing. We spent the most time with VICTOR at poolside he gives exceptional customer service. If you need anything he is there for you. He brings high energy and professionalism every day. We love the food and service here, its the best. The restaurants are amazing as well Blanca Blue is a must if you stay at this resort. Carolina, Armando and Luis give exceptional service. We recommended anyone who is going to Cancun to stay at Garza Blanca Cancun.

"Luxury Hotel w/the Most AMAZING Butler Adrian!!"

Garza Blanca is a new luxury hotel which is the newest edition to the Tafer hotel group in Cancun. Although this property is still under construction, the service was impeccable. The rooms are modern chic w/room controls at your fingertips. The grounds were perfectly landscaped. The pools are stunning. Plenty of lounge chairs on the beach to enjoy the view. This luxury resort will not disappoint with all the modern amenities. All that said, the one thing that makes Mexico unique is the welcoming spirit of the staff. Their friendly nature and knowledge of the surrounding area makes for a pleasant experience. Victor at the pool bar was super friendly and fun to be around. Adrian, our Butler for the week was outstanding. He checked in with us every morning and several times throughout the day to help with reservations, covid test results and generally anything else we might need. He made sure our room was always stocked w/our favorite drinks/snacks. He made our time at the resort hassle free as he was very friendly and competent. We look forward to returning soon.

Really wonderful. They made our stay much better than we thought. They even made our service dog welcome. They provided treats for us daily. Really looking forward to our next trip here! Thanks to Javier for his exceptional services and to Lois for introducing us to this great resort.

"Great stay, superior service!"

Our family of 4 spent winter break at the new Garza Blanca Cancun, having been to the Puerto Vallarta property 3 times perviously. The hotel is only half completed, but the sister hotel next door -- Villa Del Palmar -- provided numerous restaurants and other amenities to make our stay a great one. And the service at Garza Blanca was absolutely INCREDIBLE across the board! Thank you to Javier and all the other staff who worked dilliently to ensure that our trip was one to remember :-)

This place is great, the service is unreal, this is the old Mexico great resorts attitude with the sophistication of today. Mexico has never been one really for a "foodie" but this place is, the food is incredible, service amazing. Yes, it is all inclusive, if you want to step up however for Lobster there is an additional "minimum" charge. This place will not disappoint you. Its new, amazing and incredible service.

"Lovely Hotel Staff"

Beautiful hotel and resort. The amenities are great. The hotel works very hard to take care of dietary restrictions and severe allergies at their restaurants to meet all of your needs, of which we had many in our group, including vegan, gluten free, nuts, tomatoes and shellfish. One chef at Hiroshima even whipped up an incredible tasting gluten free teriyaki sauce for us, which was not on the menu. However, if you are not doing an all inclusive or eating out much, we suggest asking your taxi driver to make a quick stop at a grocery store on the way in from the airport to the hotel, if you planned on making food in your room. This seems to be the easiest, most efficient way to get larger amounts of food in from town. The hotel's little market/grocery store Palmitas will have enough of the basics to get you by for a day or so even if you have a larger group.Our three bedroom accommodations were beautiful with plenty of room for our 6-8 adults to be comfortable in. Pro-tip: Don't leave your screen doors accidentally cracked open in the evening/night or you'll be scratching your mosquito bites for the next two weeks lol.I would highly recommend getting a massage from Isaias a massage therapist at the spa, and even being attended to by Adlemy at the spa was perfect. Lulu, our very favorite concierge, is an incredible force of nature that makes everything you want happen beautifully. But our time there was made most enjoyable by Otikio (who quickly became our favorite person), and the pool staff Moises (who was the best ever), Carlos and Azusena, as well as Samuel and Raul. We could easily tell that their care was genuine, even "down" to our room service attendant Lazaro. Yes, the resort is beautiful, the food options are varied, beautifully presented and delicious, the pools and hot tubs are impeccably clean and there are so many of them to chose from, there are plenty of resort activities and entertainment to keep all ages happy should you chose not to do any excursions, the beach and ocean color is stunning to wake up to every morning but... the staff... genuine, thoughtful, helpful, kind, smart, funny... is what actually makes us want to hurry up and go back again.

"Cannot wait to come back"

Had an incredible experience at even the partially constructed resort. The noise was at times not nice but bearable. The best part was having a butler, Adrian who went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we wanted and was reachable by Whatsapp communication. He was personable, professional, and courteous with great communication skills. The wifi service on the resort was A- and would only cut out in elevators and sometimes on balcony. The food is fresh and excellent, especially the tuna salad at the snack bar and Mariana and Victor provided excellent service. Jose had amazing energy with Aqua Zumba and kayak tour. Can not wait to go back to the fully constructed resort. The only thing we wish was the resort prepared us better for the airport experience; 1. do not throw out the immigration card as need it to board the plane 2. even if have carry on luggage, still need to check in at airline counter, not go security desk 3. keep that in mind on days you travel as morning departures can be very busy.

"Best service and dinner"

This was the best service we have ever experienced in all our travels. Denisse and Deyvison made this night a memory we will never forget. They brought tears to my husbands eyes what they did for him. His favorite dessert is Tres Leches (not on the menu) but was served to him for his 40th. They also put on jaw dropping show of "Mayan Coffee." Everyone here is the most generous and polite workers. The food was out of this world! Better than 5 gourmet food!

Blanca Blue was amazing from the time we were greeted by Alondra and Dennese, our waiters were amazing Jose, Eduardo, Luis, Armando. Stephanie thank you for being so sweet and checking on us and the kids while we were eating to make sure the kids were having a good time. Alondra and Dennese thank you for always having pictures for the kids to color every morning at breakfast l, they loved it.Tiago the head chef truly did everything to make our culinary experience special. We just want to say that these people are what make this beautiful resort special. They made it feel like a second home for us this week and everyone did everything in their power to make it an amazing experience. I know that I am probably missing a few names but I am terrible with names so it shows you that these people stuck in my mind the whole week. I saw their passionate and kind hearts and hard work all week. So I want to thank them for keeping us safe and healthy during our adventure with our young kids.

I hurt myself very badly at the hotel and not one person at the front desk asked how I was or if I needed a doctor. I was told that if I wanted a dr. after hrs. I would be charged. The people outside and in the restaurants couldn't do enough for me they were wonderful but the staff inside were horrible didn't even care. I am now back and forth to the dr. to see the extent of the damage to my leg.

We just got back from this Resort and we loved it. The hotel iS REALLY CLEAN, the property and amenities are incredible, the staff are so welcome and friendly:At the breakfast restaurant: Elias and Martin Santos (they work together) are so friendly. unbelievable servers. A big shout-out to: At the pool: Samuel he is the best. Set up everything for you: towels, umbrellas and he even cleans your sunglasses. best. Also Candelario he is a nice pool server.At Zama Restaurant (lunch): Jorge Gomez is the best server. OMG! and Patricia she is so friendly.At the room service: Rossana is awesome. She takes care of everything in your room. Love it! We stayed at the two bedrooms ocean view and the room is FANTASTIC.The only thing I DIDNT LIKE is when you arrive they set up a tour to go to their new hotel Garza Blanca but its not just a tour , by the end they try to sell a membership to you. And it takes your whole morning. sucks! They should tell the true and ASK YOU FIRST if you would like to know more about membership. Didn't like this at all. Overall the hotel is AMAZING.

"GREAT Service! Absolutely fantastic vacation!"

We had a fantastic stay this past week at the resort. The room was great and always cleaned well. The food at the Japanese restaurant was absolutely delicious and the service at all other restaurants on site, was great as well. The thing that we enjoyed most was the service from many of the bartenders that we talked to. Adrian Peit and Candelario were 10/10 at the Tiki Bar every day. They always went above and beyond our expectations and truly provided us fantastic service. Similar situation at the Steakhouse bar. Carlos and Roberto also exceeded our expectations and provided us exceptional service during our 6 day stay. All 4 of those bartenders should be recognized for their effort, service, and passion for what they were doing. I know I am not alone with this review, as many other guests were saying the same things throughout the week. They truly did a fantastic job and I thank them for all of their hard work! Overall we had a great stay and would love to come back!

"Simply amazing- great for families "

We just returned from a 5 day family vacation at villa del palmar. Our experience was AMAZING. To be honest- I thought we were in for an average all-inclusive experience before we arrived. Boy was I wrong!! The food was incredible, the service was top notch, the crowds were not the party spring-breakers, and the place was immaculately clean and comfortable. We had a lower level room and enjoyed that our kids (age 7 & 10) could run right off the porch to the pool and hot tubs. The patio hammock was brand new and SO great to relax (I already miss the ocean breezes!) my boys got me a special treatment for Valentines day (massage and facial) and the spa was perfect. All the restaurants were great. Stk and hiroshi were my top faves. Special thanks to Hector for the awesome service and fire cream brlée show! The kids loved it. And our server at STK (Im so sorry I forgot his name!) was exceptional. I look forward to another family trip in the years ahead. Thank you staff at villa del palmar for your quality service.

"Wonderful Experience in Cancun!"

We just spent a week at Garza Blanca Cancun and the experience was fantastic. The resort is impeccably maintained and the staff is phenomenal. The concierge and staff is readily available for any needs, dinner reservations and more. Because of the pandemic, we decided to forgo excursions and spent the entire week at the resort and enjoyed the heated pools. We had excellent poolside service from Victor and Mariana. The Blanca Blue restaurant has an excellent menu of elevated Mexican cuisine with Mayan influences and Eduardo was an excellent waiter at Blanca Blue. The Village Spa has great offerings. We enjoyed great massages from Leyni and Victoria. We did a family photo shoot, Oscar captured some great shots! Over all this was a great experience. A cut above the rest for sure!

This was our second time here, and I love to try new places so do not usually return. Now I remember why... it is such a well done and well thought-out resort. The food is EXCELLENT. The new resort that just opened next door that is connected is incredible!!! You are able to eat dinner at the restaurant there, and DO IT! Incredible service and amazing dishes. I wish people had posted more about the COVID testing... so I will say a little. It is not the most delightful experience, but all was fine and it was complimentary like they say and we got home last night after much deliberation about whether or not to go fearing this whole thing. Go!! You will be glad you did!!

"Lobby Bar at the Villa Del Palmar -Cancum"

!We had an amazing 10 day stay at the beautiful Villa Del Palmar in Cancun. A specific highlight of our stay was Sergio Hernandez, the lead bartender in the Lobby Bar. Sergio quickly remembered our names and our preferences and always greeted us with enthusiasm. The Lobby Bar ended up being a meeting place for my spouse and I to meet with our friends before and after dinner each night. We were really impressed with Sergio's awesome service night after night! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable! We're looking forward to our next stay at the Villa Del Palmar

"Amazing resort"

Everything about it here is amazing. The food, service, view, spa! All the food is a la carte. I will never go anywhere else besides here and Garza Blanca. A few staff members deserve a shout out for being amazing - William at the beach, Hector at Hiroshi with his sexy coffee, Mauricio at Casona, Martin the sommelier, and Leyni at the spa. Theyre all amazing!

This place is beautiful! The layout of the pool areas and eating establishments is perfectly done. The service is great no matter if your laying on a lounger on the beach or poolside, they will bring you food and drinks! Get the all inclusive for 3 days and treat yourself to fabulous dinners at each of the restaurants!

"All I can say is AMAZING experience "

Victor one of waiters by the pool at Garza Blanca and Francesca were simply awesome, Adrian our Butler I cannot say thank you more to him because not only is his English very good, But his service and caring for us as a customer was really really appreciated, Candelaria another waitress was so nice and helpful, then Raul he was the nicest guy in the world and provided exceptional service. Raul was always there to bring us whatever we needed and he was so quick and efficient. Sometimes I am terrible with names but your assistant manager was very very good too and took amazing care of us and always made sure every concern we had was properly addressed and taken care of right away. Between her and Adrian they were a great team. This is by far the best five star diamond resort in Cancun with no doubt about it. Vía De Palmar connected right next-door made the overall experience even better. Two incredible hotels basically connected with so much to do and so much family fun. Then you have the chef or rather I should say head chef he makes sure the food at every single restaurant is absolutely amazing. Seriously the food at every restaurant is to die for and mouthwatering delicious. I appreciate everyone of you and cannot wait to return with all my family and friends again. You will not be disappointed by this resort and in fact you will be very sad when its time to leave. It is rather close to central Cancun and also very close to Isla Mujeras so there is so much to see and do, But honestly theres no reason to leave the resort because it is incredible. I can only imagine in the next several months when it is fully completed. Thank you everyone for making this experience the best we have ever had in decades. We have stayed at Hotel Leblanc and they are nowhere near this level of service!!

"Its just SIMPLY an AMAZING experience!"

Okay, let me start by saying it's a great place for a couple, family, or girls time vacation! NO matter who you are, and your group size, you will have fun. Trust me on this! PROS:- Rooms: fabulous rooms, with a bathtub and amazing heated toilets (my fav part), cute decor, and has everything you might possibly need. Our room came with a dishwasher, drier, and a full kitchen. - Hotel Management: Jessica and Fernanda, I miss you! You are absolutely amazing. They were always there to answer all the questions and help us with anything we need. - Food: So delicious, and so many options! from room service to restaurants. We even had VEGAN options, which is a huge plus for people with restrictions. And of course the chef himself- TIAGO! oh, I miss his culinary experiments. So So So good! - Personnel: They are just so sweet and professional, will always be there to help and assist. I love everyone, and Victor was an amazing bartender and server. CONS:- I wish I can stay there forever. There are no cons...

"Home away from home!!!"

My husband wrote a 5 star review few days ago, but I had to sit down and write one for myself. This is my third week in Garza Blanca and it's getting better and better every day. I absolutely LOVE this place. It feels like home, everybody knows my name, bartenders are so frendly, they know when and what i like to drink. Buttler Adrian is amazing, we set up a chat group and as soon as i ask for something, 2 minutes later he shows up in front of me, OMG what a service ( thank you Adrian). I would love to mention every single workers name, but it will take me hours to do that. But, I just have to mention 4 more people, Laura at the reception is exceptional, Otto general manager is extremely pleasant person and is always there to find a solution to everything.Carlos at front desk, very friendly and helpful. Finaly , room service Antonia is an angel.The people I met at this place, are one of the nicest people I have ever met...I guess owners just went and looked for the nicest people in Cancun, and hired them!As for the hotel, grounds,pools,service - I have no words to describe, just to say PERFECTO.In the past 20 years, I have visited Cancun 48 times. I have been in dozens of hotels, but with this hotel, I hit the jackpot. From now on, this is MY home.Cheers, to all Garza Blanca people starting from lanscapers to general manager, for making their guests feel like family.Juliette and Tony

"The best service and genuine people!"

Made my wife's 30th birthday unforgettable even with these difficult times. Had our dinner at BlancaBlue, and it is hands down the best restaurant at the resort. The manager Rodolfo leads by example and it shows in his staff. Denisse went above and beyond to get us a table on a busy night. The service was exceptional with Deyvison, Alejandro, and Julio making us feel like family. Hats off to the kitchen, the food is beyond expectations, the drinks were never empty, and the experience made the night!

"Amazing hospitality"

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Garza Blanca during their soft opening. We were fortunate enough to meet Rodolfo during our stay. We had the pleasure to see Rodolfo daily as we enjoyed the pool or lunch on the patio. Rodolfo was always so quick to greet you with a smile and ensured we had anything/everything we needed. At the end of our stay he also presented us with such a "sweet" surprise, the most delicious chocolate torte ever! We can't wait to go back!

Great staff, excellent service, gorgeous rooms, and beautiful restaurants all around. The views are spectacular and compliments the vibe, water, and experience perfectly. Definitely coming back when we return next time with the family. Best pools and beaches with no peddlers. Emily, Jose, Deyvison, Herman, and the entire wait staff were very attentive and made wonderful conversation with great advice on local activities.

"Amazing staff and service"

Victor went above and beyond. He always had our favorite chairs ready at poolside by the time we were done with breakfast, kept the cold drinks coming (along with a snack) one night served us a romantic dinner at Blanca Blue. He had made arrangements to be our server and serve us outside by candlelight but a storm came in. Instead he gave us the corner window, a romantic table setting with a rose for me and put on a fantastic show making Spanish Coffee. It was definitely a night to remember. We can't wait to head back and see him again. Phenomenal service!

I had the most amazing vacation with my friends at Garza Blanca, I got to enjoy exquisite food, absolutely amazing and such friendly service, The staff goes beyond the extra mile to make you feel at home and welcome! I enjoyed yoga classes, salsa classes, beautiful breakfast, dinner, seafood, and I also tried their Vegan meal option! Throughout the day and night they have a heated infinity pool, Live performances, and a tiki bar thats always fun! The room was so clean, room service would take care of me every morning and every night. I loved the hammock on my terrace! My favorite part was the spa, it was absolutely phenomenal and so relaxing, I fell asleep twice! I 10/10 would recommend Garza Blanca Cancun for your vacation! Please check it out you wont regret it!

"Amazing Vacation"

This is our favorite place to go for vacation! The staff is exceptionally friendly & helpful, the rooms are spacious & clean, & the view is incredible. The location is away from the Hotel Zone, which means it's much quieter, & has a ferry docked outside to take to Isla Mujeres. The beach is beautiful & the sand is manicured often throughout the day. We received exceptional service from Uriel at the Front Desk, Mario from Room Service, & our favorite waitress is Neri at Hiroshi's.

"Excellent all inclusive in Cancun!"

This hotel was fabulous! The room felt like we were at home, washer and dryer, full kitchen, and plenty of space! We had a 2 bedroom suite with hot tub on the balcony. It was truly an amazing property to be on! Beach is private and quiet unless you want to participate in the daily sand volleyball game. We only ate on property and were never disappointed. The steak house, Italian, and Japanese were a huge hit! The staff at the hotel were so helpful and catered to our every need. Carlos at the Elite Pool was so sweet and truly helped make our experience top notch. A personal butler came with our room, Rafael, who did everything he could to make sure we left the resort feeling fabulous! There's not one thing I'd complain about. With Covid still in full force the hotel staff took every precaution to keep us safe although the only time they required masks was when we'd be seated at the restaurants. It was our choice to wear them or not. We'll for sure go back here. It's a little off the beaten path so if you want the craziness of Cancun I wouldn't stay here. But for families, of any ages, or just an adult trip this place is amazing! If you're divers like we are, this place is so close to some amazing dive sites!

"Best Cancun Experience Yet - Spoiled! "

This place puts so many to shame! We stayed at a RIU resort in Cabo in November for a wedding and they could really learn from villa del palmar. Place was trash compared to this resort! I could write a book on how awesome this vacation was, but Ill stick to the highlights of things that we appreciate. If you are a Covid fear-monger, they do a great job at being safe, lots of common sense stuff not found in the US and none of the communistic orders that are baseless and devoid of evidence. 1.) The staff - we upgraded to a 3-bedroom suite, so our view of this may be jaded - but resort-wide staff were awesome! From servers to bartenders, maids, room-service...literally couldnt ask for more. Name drop time: our concierge Oscar=awesome; our butlers oncito (sp?) & Rafael = awesome; our servers by the private pool Julio and Enrique = fantastic. Literally every staff member acted like they wanted us there - cant say that about every all-inclusive2.) Room - Again we upgraded so our view may be a little inflated. The 3-bedroom suite is unbelievable. We went with my in-laws and our two children. The suite is so spacious that everybody had their space and provides privacy for all. It is bigger than most 3 bedroom apartments Ive been in. Also comes with a personal butler, premium alcohol bottles on arrival, fantastic room service, snacks, etc. Wrap around deck was where we spent most of our time and it had a full size hammock and hot tub with ocean views. Beds were super-comfy, and amenities were every thing you expect from a five-star. Room service for breakfast everyday, stocked fridge, great housekeeping, turn-down service with chocolates every night. In-room entertainment is a little limited - but we never really watch tv at these things. Every room and bar was able to get the NFL playoff games and that is all me and my father-in-law cared to watch! 3.) Food & Drink: EVERY restaurant we went to was great. Another thing I cant say is true of many all-inclusive resorts. Having said that, I would say the Asian restaurant at the front of the resort was the best - phenomenal sushi & sashimi and cooked dishes. Plenty of social-distancing. 4.) Pool and bars: we stayed mainly by the private (heated) pool. Which was essentially a giant infinity pool/hot tub. This was real nice for the couple chilly overcast days we had. However the kids pool is also heated and there is a giant common hot tub near the main pool. Beach is great, clean raked sand, and has many free activities as well (kayak, paddle boarding, kids blow up play thing, etc). Lots of seaweed about 10-15 yds out, but not overwhelming. Lots of bar choices with, again, great staff. Every family we met there was great about personal space and it always felt as if we had the place to ourselves. 5.) Location - off the beaten path but still only 20-30 minutes from airport. If your one of those people who likes to go to downtown night clubs and other things, this place may not be for you. The only time we went off resort was to go to Isla Mujeres for a day, and this resort provided great location for that and Oscar found all the ferry information we needed. We like resorts that are of the beaten path and the Playa Mujeres peninsula suits us well in that regard. In all. Probably a little pricier than most Cancun resorts - but worth every penny. We had the best family vacation to date. We dont say this much in our half-dozen trips to Cancun...but WE WILL BE BACK to this resort. We are already asking friends if they want to go with us. Well done Villa Del Palmar & Staff!

Delicious food! We ate here in our last night and it was the best meal ever! The service was outstanding, starting with Dennise the host, our waiter Luis, and Rodolfo, and Hernan the buser. The cocktails are creative, and you can really taste the tequila in the margarita. The food was outstanding, my husband had the rib, it was tender and fell off the bone. I had the duck mole, it was flavorful and the mole was delicious. Only suggestion was that give a little more mole, instead of having it as a garnish/small side. The tacos of adobada were so good my daughter asked for more.Everything from appetizer to dessert, outstanding!

Flavor, presentation and portions were totally on point! I ordered the chargrilled avocado and beet salad for appetizer and as my entree I went with the tacos al pastor. I had to order a second order of the tacos because they were sóo yummy ! Here are some photos I took of my meals and drinks! Omg the drinks were so good too! Watermelon fresh was amazing!

My friends and I travel frequently although this year with Covid 19 we certainly had our concerns. We have stayed at a number of resorts in Mexico and Villa Del Palmar was a magnificent experience. The entire staff beginning with Juan Carlos Gonzalez, the general manager, Isabel in operations took a personal interest in ensuring our stay was memorable. At the service level, Abel and Sergio at the Stake Bar were great bartenders. Martine at Hiroshi was an excellent waiter. The breakfast team at Blanco Blue especially José, Armando, Stephanie, and Alondra were superb. Carlos the pool attendant as well as William and all the waiters were as attentive as could be. Special thanks to Alejandro our Butler and Oscar his manager for all their coordination efforts. We will most definitely return to this resort.

"Top Notch"

We just came back from Garza for 7 days. We had the best consecutive stretch of good weather ever in several years of visiting Cancun. It was a soft opening and you mostly couldnt tell. First off shout out to Javier our butler and Cesar our Beach server. Both men provided exceptional, timely, courteous and safe attention. One morning I went to the beach early in advance of my family, before service opened and I hear footsteps behind me at a rapid pace. It was Cesar booking to set up our spot. I told Cesar I was just taking a walk, but would return soon. Just a typical -experience at Garza. Additionally, I want to acknowledge Victor and the bar tender in the taco truck, who also made our vacation because of their friendly and attentive service as well. Having a great beach experiences with a 1 yr old child could have been tricky, it these gentleman surely took a care of us. Every visitor of Garza Blanca will get a butler and it makes a difference. Literally anything you need you can text Javier and he took care of it. We had an easy experience with our dinner reservations, special accomodations, etc., all because Javier was only a text way.Housekeeping and mini bar service was timely and satisfactory. The check-in process was completed quickly (and truthfully better that we have experienced at adjacent Villa del Palmar in the past.)We stayed during the high season, after Christmas and through the new year. Although not at full capacity, it was busy under social distancing protocol. The only thing to note is that at certain points during our stay, such as lunch or peak dinner service and there was large demand you could feel that the resort was still getting in its groove. We expected delays with food and experienced them at Blanca Blue and with Room Service. Perhaps teams were not used to working together yet, or there is still a limit on staff in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Still, it was apparent that all staff were giving their best. Nevertheless, we recommend couples and families to go to Garza Blanca - even while it is still under construction. You wont have to worry about a thing.

"Guest"

This is my personal opinion about my experience staying at the Villa Del Palmar Hotel and Resort. Upon my arrival I was greeted by a staff member Uriel Mejorada. He was very professional and displayed a positive attitude. My Junior Suite was absolutely amazing and I truly loved it because it (the patio) gave me such privacy! I now know that there's a big difference between a 5 Star hotel and a 4 Diamond hotel. This is what I didn't enjoy about my stay at the hotel when I arrived I was told that I was required to pay a undisclosed fee of $6 dollars that the people at Mexico's airport never mentioned. I don't like financial suprises. I also noticed that the staff were extremely thorough about cleanliness and made ALL guests feel comfortable while being socially distant. The level of ENGLISH language spoken by ALL staff members needs MORE improvement but I guess this is something that upper management doesn't consider very important. Luckily I can speak Spanish but for others who don't speak any Spanish will never be able to ask a question and get a plausible response! Overall the staff will try to resolve any problems presented by a guest. I stay was great and I am truly grateful for staff members like Uriel Mejorada are there and are capable of delicately handling problems that may arise.

"One of our Best Vacations!"

Just returned home from Villa Del Palmar. We had a great time! My family of four booked a two bedroom ocean front suite in the residence section. Beautiful view. Suite was spacious and clean. Food was excellent. We didnt have a bad meal the entire time we were there. We are at the Italian, Asian, and Steakhouse. Also had breakfast at the buffet. Even room service was pretty good. Since our roomwas in the Residence section, we had access to the elite pool and cabana area. Great service there. I had shrimp nachos and pina-coladas! Fantastic! We also had a butler assigned to us. This was one of the greatest parts to the trip. Alejandro and Otikio both were incredible. They made our stay so special! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. My sons glasses broke and Otikio went into downtown after work to get the part he needed and came back in the morning to fix them. Just so considerate! They really were the best. Shout out to Letty and Oscar in guest services as well. I would highly highly recommend this hotel. It wasnt crowded at all and we felt comfortable related to COVID. Most guests abided by the rules. The spa was awesome. The pools were warm. Only slight area for improvement is customer service in Asian restaurant. Staff were not very friendly or attentive. Other than that excellent! We will be going back again!

"Beautiful Resort"

I got a good deal on this resort, considering the pandemic I had preferred an all inclusive versus an Airbnb. I have traveled many times to Cancun, can I tell you this resort has really good food I felt very safe, Staff was constantly cleaning and when you are at a restaurant they give you sanitizer at the door. I guess 3 weeks ago that decided occupancy would be 80% but because of the size of this place it did not feel crowded.We did have a great pool waiter the entire time, his name is Martin. And Amed who is one of the managers was so helpful with making reservations. I can not say enough good things about this resort. From the front desk, bellboys, concierge, cleaning staff, waiters, bartender,hostess. I probably won't return just because its too expensive for me plus you are stuck at resort because taxi's are expensive and no sidewalks outside

"Loved loved loved it!"

We had an amazing time here! We cannot say enough of our whole stay and each and every service person who was beyond the best and accommodating service people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. I have to send our a special acclamation to Mario in room service, Eduardardo and Bonito on the beach service team too. But mind you every one here was amazing!!!! We will be back as we are now owners here and plan to come back later this year again. #villadelpalmar #cancun

"Christmas in Cancun"

Hello Beautiful People. I am a Residence Owner at TAFER Residence Club & this was my first time at this Resort. Let me just say that I absolutely loved this vacation. I usually travel by myself but this time it was five of us. The location was great, the activities during the day and the night was great, but MOST of all the SERVICE WAS GREAT! I have to give a HUGE THANK YOU to the Breakfast Crew Servers, CESAR SOBERANIS & EDUARDO (don't know his last name). They were so attentive and caring to me & my family. Overall this was a great Christmas getaway and I can't wait to come back to check out the new Garza Blanca, Hotel Mousai.

"Best vacation ever!!!"

We actually booked another hotel called Oasis and it was a complete nightmare of an experience but we were able to get situated at Villa De Palmar and what a difference! The rooms were incredible very clean, spacious, it really felt like you were getting your moneys worth. The food was incredible, they had a great gym and the multiple pools and the view from the balcony was amazing! But above all what really made this Resort stand out was the service! From house cleaning, bartenders, or the waiters they were all super friendly. They really made you feel welcomed. Off the top of my head 3 people we would like to recommend were victor who worked around the pool area if you wanted snacks and mauricio and Fransico who worked at La casona.

"Amazing Trip - Amazing People!"

We travelled as a family of 4 (two teenagers), and stayed in a Family 2 bedroom Ocean View Suite and chose the All Inclusive package. First, the suite was perfect for us. We had our space, they had their space and we had room in the middle to spend time together. Each area has its own balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean. The rooms were spotless every day. The housekeeping staff is wonderful. We ordered room service a few times, and they were phenomenal too. The beach was beautifully maintained. Moises, our concierge, took such good care of us. He is an amazing young man. Tip him well, he deserves it! My husband had cut his foot on the third day and Moises made sure that David, the lifeguard/medic looked it over and bandaged it every day. Our girls played volleyball with the entertainment staff two times a day. They had a blast and looked forward to it every time. Alex, Melissa, Juan, and Armando completely made our family feel special. They were hilarious and made every day a lot of fun. By the end of the week, we didn't want to leave because we knew that we would truly miss them. I hope to see them again some day soon. The food was outstanding! Our girls loaded up on sushi at Hiroshi! They wanted more and more, and we felt comfortable letting them dine alone since we wanted something else one evening. The steakhouse, La Casona STK, was... oh my gosh....so delicious! The waiting staff was super! I was on a special diet and had to have soups the last couple of days to prepare for a medical procedure. I inquired about tortilla soup, and Jorge at Zama asked his chef to make it for me the next day. On that day, Jorge, the Chef, and their Manager presented me with the most beautiful tortilla soup I have ever seen. Talk about going above and beyond!We would defiantly visit Villa Del Mar again, even if only to be able to visit with the amazing people that we met there. Please tip well. They work so hard and are very deserving. I wish many blessings to those that we met along the way. Thank you for making our trip special!

"We will be back!"

After traveling most of the day, we arrived tired & hungry. Lucia took us under her wing immediately. She had all of our devices hooked up to wi-fi, made sure we were familiar with the lay of the land, restaurant locations, type of cuisine and hours of operation. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed and a beautiful garden view. We enjoyed our presentation the next day with Mike Jimenez.No high pressure sales people. We enjoyed meeting several of the Tafer Hotel & Resort staff; Mike, Emily, JC, and Luis. They answered all of our questions. The remainder of our trip was left to us to do as much or as little as we wanted. There were plenty of excursions offered at the resort; activities poolside and on the beach were offered daily. Enrique, Benito and many others made you feel welcome and appreciated. There are multiple restaurants, bars and pools on the property.

"Amazing Resort, Amazing Staff, Amazing Food !"

I'm not sure where to start, I could probably write on and on for hours....Tim & myself have travelled the world, been on 50+ cruises, I think we know good service when we see it. The staff at Villa del Palmar is probably some of the best in the world. We just spent 9 days there, and I know I'm repeating myself, but the food & service was second to none. We were in a 1 bedroom suite, spotless clean, well appointed, felt like home. I'd like to recognize some of the staff:Miguel Angel - Bartender at the tiki barSolomon Torres - Server at Davino Italian restaurantUriel Mejorada - Front deskJaime Sanchez - Pool attendantAngel Tashin - Server at ZamaWe ordered room service for breakfast, it was fast, food was hot, service always superior. Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony almost every day.And I believe none of the restaurant service & exceptional food would be possible without Amr (I believe he was the asst director of food & beverage). I think he was there 24/7 lol...he was everywhere. Amr was #1 in customer service.There is not one thing we could have complained about, everything was perfect from beginning to end. We look forward to our future relationship with Villa del Palmar, this will be our new home away from home. We met many new friends, and look forward to many more trips to visit our new VDP family.Thank you for making this the best Christmas & New Year for Tim & me.Sincerely,Mike & TimChicago, IL

"My Butler Adrian and the waiter Victor are incredible."

Adrian checked on me constantly to make sure I had everything I needed to have a wonderful stay. He booked all my reservations, made sure my room stayed stocked, and just made my stay wonderful. I liked the convenience of being able to text him when I needed him. He seems to be in high demand around the resort but he still made sure we were taken care of. The waiter by the bar by the name of Victor is incredible. He is so cheerful, he remembers your name, and he remembers what you like. We started to look forward to running into him. He didnt always work the section we liked to sit in but he made sure the waiters knew what we liked. I appreciate all the staff but Adrian and Victor deserves a ton of credit and honestly deserve to be recognized for their hard work.

"Amazing Relaxation"

I love Villa del Palmar Cancun. I have been here many times. I always visit the spa for the hydrotherapy, atmosphere and attentive staff, specifically Gustavo. Today I had a massage that exceeded my expectations. My masseuse was Isaias. He gave me an incredible massage, professional and completely through. I would highly recommend him to anyone in Cancun.

Eloisa by the pool is a master of her profession and was so good with our kids that they still ask to say hi to her when were not with her.

"Great Family Vacation"

This was our second time to the resort and we had a great time. Our bartender, Adrian Pat, was excellent. All of his interactions with customers were genuine and tailored to their needs. His drinks were creative and ALL VERY good!2 of the restaurants are currently closed due to COVID and the breakfast buffet does not rotate; it's the same every day.The rooms are fairly loud. We didn't notice this the first visit as we were located away from the main road, however, this visit we were in the West building and it was very loud. Our beds were fair; soft and worn-in and the rooms could use some maintenance. The pools are great! Great service and the water is clean. Enrique, Victor, and Azusana were excellent servers!!The beach had a lot of broken glass in it, I would guess due to the recent hurricanes. It is raked every morning, however, you do have to look where you step.The spa is great, the steam room is amazing, and Alberto is a very good masseuse. Overall we had a great trip.

The housekeeping deserves a special recognition as well for their attention to keeping our rooms clean during our stay. What made our stay extraordinary was eating at their restaurants. All Chefs, waiters and bartenders deserve credit. The level of service displayed by Jose Celis, Noe, Angel and Ruben at the Zama restaurant was memorable for my family and I. Never have we received such an awesome experience at a restaurant before. This matched with the excellent food and drinks will always be remembered.

"Mesero Vctor Mateo"

We like commend Casa Blanca Hotel Resort for one of there finest.. Victor Mateó.. His servitude and professionalism is beyond measures. We met Victor walking to eat lunch. He welcome us and was fast to clean a table for us. We came to find out the next day! That is not his area.. his designated area is the beach area.The next day we were sitting for breakfast and He was passing by and he once again offered his help for any assistance.We told him how impressed we were with the new hotel Garza Blanca; Victor at that moment lite up and he shared with us the next vision for the hotel and as He spoke he spoke with great enthusiasm and weve great knowledge of what out to come... He surely did not speak of just an employee of a Hotel but as an individual that took pride of something that He is part of a Hotel that services as a Family... and with class, excellence and with a mind set of the sky the limit. As an owner..along with my husband this is why we became owners.. because we also see ourselves as a family with great brother s and sisters like Victor bringing high quality service understanding that time is gold and when people choose Cancun... Villa del Palmar or Garza Blanca and any of there brands we aim to serve and be served with top quality and excellence. Keep it up Victor you absolutely have everything it takes to keep climbing that latter to a bright future in the Hotel industry or anything you choose. As you move up we hope in being able to celebrate and rejoice in seeing you throughout the years ... God bless you in Jesus Name.. we are truly thankful.. remember you are Gold!!! Keep smiling., keep shining..... Its been a pleasure and thank you for serving us as a King and Queen. Gracias Victor por servirnos con amor y con excelencia.. tu familia debe estar muy orgulloso de ti!!! Hacia adelante!!

"Best of the Best!"

Our experience at Garza Blanca Cancun was phenomenal from the moment we arrived until we departed! We arrived on the first day of their soft opening in December of 2020 and cannot wait to return once the resort is fully open. We are a family of five with two young children and a baby and stayed in a two bedroom swim-up suite. The suite was perfectly appointed, spacious, and the 24/7 access to our own private pool was a win for the entire family. Aside from the beautiful rooms and gorgeous grounds, what sets Garza Blanca Cancun apart from similar resorts is their service! Our private butler Javier (and Mario, when Javier was not available) was top notch! We cannot thank Javier enough for not only assisting us with anything we may have needed, but also always being one step ahead of us. The service provided at Blanca Blue Restaurant is what you would expect and more from a restaurant at a Luxury Resort. From the moment we walked in, Alondra, the hostess, was always there to greet with a genuine smile. Waiters; Jose & Armando were our waiters most days and were excellent!! We also had the pleasure of being served by Luis, Rodolfo (manager?) Deyvison, Alexander and Ireneo. Chef Angel went out of his way to make accommodations for two of our family members with special dietary needs. Thank you again Angel! Francisco with Room Service was professional and would always address us by name and check in on us when hed see us out and about on the resort. Speaking of being out and about, we were always happy to see Cesar at the beach/Food Truck, Victor and Mariana at the pool , and Luigi and Luis, our lovely waiters at the poolside restaurant. Even the bartenders at the pools swim-up bar would greet us by name daily as we walked to and from the beach. Lastly, I am a stickler for cleanliness and the Housekeeping staff were all so very wonderful! Thank you all! Hotel Manager Otto Parrera has a wonderful staff and is running this resort as a true Five Star should be! Well done Otto!! (We also had full access to Villa del Palmar resort next door and experienced notable service from Hugo and Ricardo at Da Vino Italian Restaurant as well as Noe from Zama) Hopefully I havent forgotten anyone! We have already booked a future stay and cannot wait to be back home!

"You'll be happy you came!"

I normally go to Cabo San Lucas because flights are so much easier for me from California. We decided to make the trek to Cancun and try out this property from the Villa group. We're absolutely thrilled we came and we'll be back for sure. The beach, pool and hotel are honestly quite a bit better than the pictures in the ad. Be sure to have drinks on the beach with Victor. He, along with Caesar and Luigi take a great amount of pride in providing you with a world class experience. I've been to many hotels all over the world including the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, The W and the like... I've never had service this good or felt so welcome and at home as I did here. If you're concerned about Covid, know that this place is much cleaner than your house or any grocery store you've been in recently. I strongly recommend. Thanks for the great memories!

"Awesome Resort in the midst of the COVID Pandemic"

Villa del Palmar Cancun would be rated as a lovely resort at any time of the year. However, it was especially fabulous during my recent visit in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The entire resort was well prepared to deal with COVID - 100% of the staff wore masks and socially distanced. Every restaurant and the concierge/front desk area offered hand sanitizer each time you entered and existed. The housekeeping staff took special care to be sure that the suites were deep cleaned and sannitized each day. The resort staff clearly understood that their livelihood depended on the tourist dollar, and they took time to be polite, welcoming, and responsive to any questions or requests. The food and beverages were delicious in all the resort restaurants (5 restaurants plus outside bars). While the resort is outside of the Cancun "Hotel Zone", it is next to one of the Isla Mujeres ferries and so there were plenty of opportunities for tourist shopping and exploration. I would highly recommend this resort for anyone visiting Cancun.

"5 Diamond experience!"

We finished off our week long trip with our last night Garza Blanca Cancun (GB) and it was top notch from check-in through check-out. Shout out to Laura and Lulu for making a smooth transition from Villa Del Palmar to GB. And our guest experience host Adrian welcoming us with champagne! Its worth mentioning their Covid-19 precautions were at a high level beyond what Ive experienced in the states. We stayed in a 3-bedroom ocean view suite which was insane. High-end materials and fixtures throughout and all the amenities you could ask for. Funny to say, the warm toilet seats were a game changer for sure!! Otto, the GM, was very accessible and made sure our stay was 5-stars! Victor, a pool staff server, was delightful and provided impeccable service. Leonardo, the food and beverage manager, met with my wife and I to discuss our desire to have the fish, our group caught earlier in the day, prepared for dinner. Leonardo ended up sending Angel, Eduardo (chefs of the hotel), Angel (lead server), and Marco (suite services) to our room. They setup our dining table, prepared our fish in six different ways, and served our family throughout the entire evening. It was nothing short of first class. One of the best experiences Ive had on any vacation Ive ever been on. The evening finished with Otto visiting once desert was served to check and make sure we were taken care of. The staff of Garza Blanca Cancun absolutely exceeded our expectations, creating life long memories for our family. We will back!

"Garza Blanca CANN Resort is Amazing!!!!"

Im certain that by this point, you've already read a ton of reviews and this review of the Garza Blanca CANCÚN Resort will probably continue along the same trend as the majority of them. Just to start, this place is phenomenal! My family spent a good week plus of December there and I'm here to honestly tell you, it's beyond incredible. This was our 6th trip to Cancuuun but the first to this particular Garza Blanca Resort and my wife and I brought our 3 young daughters along this time. We were in a 2 bedroom swim-up room on the brand new Garza Blanca Cancuuun Resort building. Our rooms were 4007 & 4008 which are to sum up in a single adjective, stunning. Great view of the ocean from our patios and the grandiose pools setup. The look and feel of the Garza Blanca Cancuuun Resort is breathtaking.With most of the reviews that I have seen, the consensus is that the staff is what makes the place (and your visit) something incredibly special and rare. I feel compelled to take matters a bit further as the Garza Blanca Cancuuun Resort is more than just a place to visit. Let me state this clearly, the Garza Blanca Cancuuun Resort is an experience. That experience was created for my family by a team of individuals that developed lasting connections with my family and also established above all else that they genuinely care. Id be remiss if I didnt commend General Manager, Otto Paretto personally for the efforts, action and just genuine hospitality that he extended towards my family in our time at the Garza Blanca Cancuuun Resort. To say that he made our experience would be an understatement. The combination of leadership, respect and just kindness that he showed us is in my opinion, unparalleled. I say this being someone whom has also spent time at the Excellence/Finest resorts multiple times in multiple countries.I have to call out some of my absolute favorites - Our Butler Javier, who was in contact with me the day prior to our arrival to secure our transportation from the airport to the resort and then going beyond the call of duty once we had arrived. This humble man stopped by multiple times daily and spoke with me to gauge our needs and comfort and provided everything we asked for and more. The thoughtfulness of Javier in conjunction with the leadership from Otto Paretta was unbelievable. They operate like a well oiled machine and propelled this experience to levels that we have not seen prior. I also want to mention Noe at the Zama Restaurant (Villa del Palmar) for inquiring about my familys needs and preparing food specifically to accommodate my daughters food allergies.This was the tip of the iceberg, but out of respect to you, the reader, Im going to provide a brief rundown of the other exceptional individuals that we had the pleasure of interacting with during our stay. Javier the Butler had an assistant, Mario, who stepped in anytime Javier was off grounds, was remarkable to say the least. Both Victor and Mariana at the pool/snack bar were very accommodating and genuinely good kind hearted people that just wanted to see my family happy. Cesar at the Beach Food Truck was so relatable and immediately felt like family within minutes of interacting. Angel at Blanca Blue is a Maestro as far as chefs go. We have had meals at 3 separate Blanca Blue locations (Los Cabos, PVR and now Cancuuun) and to put it bluntly, the food from Angels kitchen has been phenomenal! He prepared meals for my 9 month old daughter daily. The resort was great about maintaining safety and boundaries during this COVID-19 Pandemic. They assured that everything was freshly sanitized and in pristine condition before presenting it to my family. It was refreshing to have someone value and respect the safety guidelines to the same degree that we do. Do yourself a favor. Go visit them as soon as humanly possible. You will not regret it!!! We felt so comfortable and good during this visit that we have already sat down with Otto Paretta and booked our next visit for 2021.

"2 weeks this time"

We decided our 3rd trip here would be longer and we were not disappointed. The staff were all amazing, the grounds gorgeous, and the common sense Mexico is demonstrating towards Covid puts the politicians in America to shame. We felt a level of safety & freedom below the border that saddens our heart for our home country, but I digress. To say the rooms & restaurants are kept clean & comfortable is a drastic understatement but then they are a luxury resort. The grounds keepers have the grounds in spectacular shape & it reminded me of the care they take at Disneyland. And though the weather in November was a bit windy & had occasional showers, it was still more pleasant than most of the States are that time of year. We are going back!

"The best resort and the best staff!"

We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed for 10 days, and were able to spend time at the Elite Pool. The concierge Carlos, at the Elite Pool, was the best ever! He always saved us a great cabana, and was so attentive to any needs we had. He also send us a going away cake when we were leaving. The BEST hospitality and service! Also, Ivan at the Davinos Restaurant was an amazing server. We were torn between a couple different items to order, and he made some recommendations, which were the best! He also did a fabulous presentation of Mayan Coffee at the end. The housekeeping staff were also excellent. The room we stayed in, and everywhere we went, were exceptionally clean! The only negative is if you don't do all inclusive, there is only the buffet for breakfast, which is about $30 US per person, which is expensive. Other breakfast options that are less expensive would be a good ideaWe loved everything about our stay, and will be back!

"Excellent IF you like low-key and mild with quality. "

Our experience at the Villa del Palmar was an amazing, relaxing and pampered experience. Compared to other all-inclusive we have experienced in Cancun, this one seemed to cater to a relaxed and slow clientele as opposed to our preferred up-beat party vibe. With that stated, the staffs attention and service made this an amazing experience. Since this resort does NOT feature a swim up bar (extreme oversight on our part... would not have booked it had we known) most our our time was spent at the Tiki swing bar with Edwar and Miguel who were by far two of the best bartenders on the property. The restaurants all exceeded our experiences at similarly priced all-inclusive by a long shot. The steak at the Italian restaurant was phenomenal although I was unimpressed with the female hostess there. Our second favorite restaurant was the steakhouse where they served up a wonderful tuna steak and excellent baked potatoes. We would have gone to STK again but the service was lacking. By far Hitoshi, the Japanese restaurant, excelled. We enjoyed ordering several appetizers and small dishes and having them slowly brought to the table course by course. If you are fortunate enough to get Martin as your server, your experience will be elevated all the much further. The only downside to Hitoshi was the wait BUT Mercedes was an amazing hostess and the servers at the bar just outside the restaurant went above and beyond. They had our drinks the moment they saw us arrive at the hostess check in station even without us ordering. They kept new and exciting drinks coming without fail. One night the wife felt like a hot chocolate with baileys however they do not have what was needed to make it so they took milk to the chef and had him warm it up. Miguel Angel and Manuel were absolutely amazing bartenders with a high degree of service and attention to customer needs. On our final night, our server Hector had our names written on our dessert. Capricious was open for breakfast and the food was on point including excellent service from all of the omelet makers especially Cecilia BUT the floor servers ALL lacked in this location. It was like they all walked around with blinders on completely oblivious to the needs of the diners. It took forever to get juice or coffee and trying to get the bill to sign was impossible. As stated, great food, horrible service. The only real negative in our experience was the timeshare presentation. I do want to state that Giovanni was super personable and professional HOWEVER the portion that will keep us from returning was Leann the sales rep. She started out super friendly. As we approached the 3 hour mark of our hour and a half time share presentation we got very firm in telling her we were done and ready to go. At this point she got very belligerent. I know its her job to close as many deals as possible but I feel she got a little rude at the end. We then had to tell a few more managers no until they finally let us return to our vacation. Just know that your 90 minute presentation will not be 90 minute. We started at 8 am and did not get out of there until 11:30 am. I Played beach volleyball twice but one of the activities crew members (short, young and thin) was extremely competitive and ensured his team an advantage every-time we played. Kind of left a bad taste which caused me to only play volleyball twice and actually left early one of the times. Note that all the pools are very cold except for the owners only and the kids area. We had a Great experience each time with the water activists team. Snorkel, standup paddle and kayak were excellent customer service. The maintenance crew did a Great job keeping beach clean. They performed Constant tractor work. In summary, if you like a mellow, relaxed but quality resort, I would highly recommend Villa Del Palmar but we wont return as we like evening activities and a resort where the bars are open past 10:30pm.

"Loved Villa Del Palmar"

This was one of the best vacations weve ever had as a family (we have 3 children ages 18-21). The accommodations were so nice with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable except the Murphy bed in living room is a bit hard. Having the fridges stocked with drinks was such a nice touch. The restaurant service and food were delicious. We were especially treated extra special by Enrique on the beach, Armando at Zama, Josue with room service and Antonio at Davino. Antonio- that strawberries foster was our favorite thing all weekend. Martin by the pool even came around to make us pillows out of towels. We couldnt believe how many food choices there are between all the restaurants. Tips are included but we left extra for those that went above and beyond. My boys had a blast using the paddle boards which were included. They also rented some jet skis for $65 1/2 hr and those were fun too. The resort was impeccably clean everywhere and the staff is always cleaning behind us too. Giovanna at concierge took care of us with airport transportation and answering all our questions. I cant wait to come back here with other groups. Ill be watching for a good deal to come up. Again... this place is over the top amazing!

Wonderful and accomodating waiters, pool guys, overall very friendly staff ! Easy access to activities such as boat rides, kayaking, parasailing. We were picked up right in front of the resort.We felt safe, taken care of. Food- all inclusive well worth it. Women at kid's club caring. My kids loved exploring the resort-pool area . My husband loved trying all their restaurants. I loved the location that it wasn't in the hotel zone. The gift shop is huge and reasonable. We will return.

"Heaven on Earth"

This is our 12th time visiting Villa Del Palmar. I was just there in October and heading back again in December. Our family vacations here 2 times per year. It is our absolute favorite! The staff treat you like royalty. EVERYONE is smiling and happy at all times. The rooms are luxurious and the views are incredible. The restaurants are the absolute best and even better then most restaurants we have in Denver, CO. SERIOUSLY! They have a Sushi restaurant (all the sushi rolls and the best miso soup I have ever had), a Mediterranean Seafood restaurant (bianco shrimp pizza, homemade black pasta with seafood and the octopus are out of this word), a Classic Steak House (filet with a sauce trio, tuna carpaccio, and passionfruit creme brlée), and an authentic Mexican Restaurant (mole enchiladas, fresh fruit margaritas, and giant shrimp). The room service is also amazing! The cream cheese stuffed french toast is to die for! The alcohol that is served is high quality. Each restaurant/bar has different selections. The guys at the pool take such great care of my family and our young children. Sam is the pool manager. He is the MAN!!! Sam is always around to check on everyone to ensure you are having fun. He even has a special pump to blow up your large floats! Sam sets up your towels and helps you reserve chairs for your day of fun by the pool. There are also day beds with pillows available by the beach and I swear they must be made of memory foam because you just sink into them and immediately feel relaxed while servers deliver drinks! Raul is the BEST server at the pool we have ever experienced. We always had a fresh bucket of beer on ice for the adults and lots of fun extra treats for our kids. The last time we were there we spent 3 days in a row at the pool for 7 hours a day and Raul ran non-stop to accommodate our requests. He had a sincere smile the entire time, even when we were in a giant rain storm for a couple hours, he never let our drinks go empty. He delivered our drink to the hot tub while we stayed warm int he rain storm. I also need to mention their spa. It is in a rainforest jungle and one of the best spas I have ever experienced. My husband and I go to 5 star space all over the country and this one rivals the very best we have been to. Our family calls Villa Del Palmar Cancun "Heaven on Earth". It is our heaven and it will be yours too!

Our room with ocean view was very good. Food in the restaurants was tasty. The drinks were good and they had them for any taste. Especially have to mention the guys of the lobby bar. Adrian and Cande Lario. They were so nice to us and the drinks there were very good. Also worth mentioning the Mexican restaurant. When I did not feel well they cooked for me baked potato which was not on the menu. I am very grateful to Supervisor Jose Celis and waiter Angel They were real angels.In Japanese restaurant waiters were also very good. They gave me cooked rice on my request that was also not on the menu. The teams of the restaurants were nice and attentive. Just to mention a few: servers Edgar Chan and Pablo Flores, hostess Sandra Flores.My special thanks to the spa team. All of them were nice and helpful. Especialy masseuses Isaiah and Lina. They are very high class masseuses. I hope to visit the hotel again.

"Third time & more than a charm, it's a GEM !!"

We just got back from our 3rd visit to Villa del Palmar & we loved every secondof our stay. We felt safe & well cared for all week. Covid protocols were followed & they had about 50% capacity. We never had to wait to have dinner, get a lounge chair, etc. The staff, from the maintenance /gardeners to management, were so friendly & welcoming.Armando, Alejandro, & Jose (PePe) from the entertainment staff were so fun & engaging even my husband participated in the pool activities! Moises ( pool butler) was great & always available to set up pool towels & make us comfortable & welcome, great conversations, great guy! Wilbert brought us wonderful drinks & tasty food around the pool. It was constantly windy so we didn't get to utilize the umbrellas but the good thing about that was, no mosquitos bites all week!Azucena at DaVino was so sweet & offered gracious service to us at dinner. I also loved the fact DaVino was open for breakfast every day. I prefer a lovely sit down breakfast instead of a buffet. Buffets were never my favorite even before the pandemic, however, in previous years, the food at Caprichos buffet was very good & I understand they will reopen soon.Saul at Casona Stk was top notch, he's an excellent server & has been there quite awhile. The food there is wonderful. I have seen 1 or 2 bad reviews complaining that you have to pay for the "Good stuff". While it's true some things do have an uncharge, the steak house does include filet mignon, it's listed as "tenderloin" & it's delicious. (I'm speaking of the all-inclusive plan which I definitely recommend) There are plenty of choices without additional charges. In my opinion, the few folks that give this resort a 1 star rating just cannot be pleased with anything. Martin & Nery at Hiroshi restaurant were absolutely wonderful, we remember them both from 2018. Wonderful servers & both great additions to the resort.Gustavo at the spa was so kind & friendly as well as Daniel at the front desk.Our one bedroom master suite is bigger than our own home & has every possible thing you could want or need. Thank you again to our room stewart/ housekeeper.Super clean & perfect with a beautiful ocean view & large balcony.Villa del Palmar is the only place we will stay in Cancun, they do All thing very, very well. You will not be disappointed !

"Incredible Experience"

This resort is an absolute GEM!! We stayed for a week and enjoyed food at every one of the restaurants, which was incredible. Our favorite restaurant ended up being Davino! The Espeso Di Manzo, Da Vinci Lamb Chops, and Lasagna were incredible. If you're dining at STK, definitely try the Pork Belly and Watercress, Beef Tartare, and the Slow Cooked Short Rib. We also enjoyed and Apple Tart dessert which was delicious. We stayed in a one bedroom suite with an incredible view of Isla Mujeres and the rest of the beach. Every room has a view of the ocean so you're never stuck with anything but beauty to look at. Our suite was immaculate, modern, and had everything we needed. We also visited the spa and had the most relaxing experience. From start to finish the staff made us feel relaxed and well taken care of. I would highly recommend doing the combo, it was pure bliss. Last but not least, ALAN B rocks! We met him the first day, he showed us around, explained everything thoroughly to us, answered all of our questions, and really made us feel welcome at the resort. He was an absolute delight to speak with and made an already great experience even better. To say that he went above and beyond for us would be an understatement. Customer service on point with a touch of charm and a zest for life. You can really tell that he enjoys his line of work. Thank you Alan for all of your help throughout our stay. All of the Villa del Palmar staff was excellent. We will definitely be back!

"Great service in restaurants and spa"

We had a great 6 nights all inclusive experience in October 2020. Due to Covid it wasn't as packed, and this is what made our stay even more amazing. Spa was great, thr 5 restaurants available for us were amazing. I would like to mention two people that walked an extra mile to make our stay pleasant: Manuel, from the steakhouse (that prepared for me two desserts with custom designs because my 7 year old son asked him to), and Wilbert , the server that will bring you your food and drinks right to the beach while you're getting your chocolatey tan. Other than that, the resort is clean, no problems whatsoever. Thank you!

"Great food, great staff"

We had such a blast this week. Alex and Pepe were the highlight of our trip, they were the activity coordinators, and our group had so much fun with them. It was 5 couples, all separate rooms. We all had great rooms and it doesnt matter if you order room service or go out to eat, the food is really great. Drinks are made with good high end liquor and the bartenders are amazing. My group was drinking up a storm, but Im pregnant, so they were all bringing me mocktails to try and they made sure I was having a good time. I highly recommend this resort. Also, hand sanitizer everywhere, and they clean like mad-men. Everywhere you go they put hand sanitizer in your hands, and while all the staff had masks, most of the hotel guests had them as well. They let you make your own choice on that which I liked. I felt very safe.

"Good get away"

Six nights at Villa del Palmar - Cancun were great. Hurricane Eta impacted the early stay but thats not their fault. The later days were fine. COVID protocols were good, staff were well trained, helpful and friendly. Our room was terrific and the king bed was great. Colorful external premises were disappointing as some of the exterior was showing wear with tiles missing and the white faade showing rust and mildew. Needs a good power wash or refinishing.Pool area was great, thanks to Samuel for oversight and Wilbert for drinks and food. Spent a couple of days on the beach, recliners shaded by both palm trees and a few palapas, nice sand, water was fine with plenty of swimmers. Kayaks and paddle boards were available once the storm got through.Had the all-inclusive as we were hesitant to go out due to COVID, and the meals were OK. Best spot is the Zama restaurant in the middle of the premises, Jose and his staff were great, and lunch food was excellent, unfortunately it is not open for breakfast or dinner. The other choices of steak; no surprises good or bad, Japanese; sat both at the prep table bar and outside, suggest outdoors, or Italian; which had good food but tables are a little small as we were a foursome.Some weather disappointments but all in all a good get away.

"Family Vacarion"

We had a great time at this resort! It is beautiful and well taken care of. We were there during the hurricane in October (5-12), the building and location were deemed safe and we were not required to evacuate! There were restrictions put in place (for our safety) that we felt were a bit over the top. The beach area wasnt much to write home about, but the pool and the Tiki Beach Bar area were great!The waiters would bring you food at the pool area which was great also!Eduardo Mendoza (Waiter) took excellent care of us, we always sat in his area

"Amazing experience"

From the time we stepped out of our shuttle it was nothing short of an amazing experience. The staff when above and beyond to make sure that they did everything in their power to ensure that we were safe and the resort was clean. I felt safer at the resort than I did back in the states as far as cleanliness goes. When we were at the pool our waiter Candelario Vehiquez AKA "Candyman" was the BEST!!! We actually followed him where ever he was each day. His warm personality made us feel as if we had known him for years. We can't wait to come back and see him again! We have been to many of the Villa resorts but Cancun is by far our favorite!

Perfect for family vacation or couples. Staff was great and I was pleased to hear that they are all COVID tested every two weeks. Pool activities were fun for all ages. We especially loved the water volleyball! Food at restaurants was fabulous! Only think I would recommend is a welcome drink at check in!

While some restaurants were closed due to Covid, the rest were great. The room was big and clean. And the pools looked great and were just the right temperature. Beach right there, with free kayaks, etc. for guests.

"Fun @ Villa deal palmar "

Villa del palmar is a beautiful resort . The food is absolutely amazing . Due to covid the buffet style restaurant wasnt operating, but that didnt make a difference. There are 4 other restaurants all equally delicious . With vegan and vegetarian options. They are also very attentive to food allergies . The grounds are kept immaculate. The sanitizing and cleanliness is 5 star. But the best part of this resort is the staff !!!! The activities team is amazing . You have Alehandro , Jose PePe , & Armando ... and theses guys are so energetic !!!! There dancing is great and they keep a good energy and vibe about the the place . At Bites restaurant u have the best staff ever ! El hefe Armando keeps the place running smooth with great attention to details . Then there is Benito and Raul from bites who never let your drink or stomach stay empty... there also serve you at the jacuzzi or at the pool . We also had the pleasure of meeting William & Wilbert from the beach bar area & they also bring you food from bites as well as all the drinks you could imagine at the beach beds or chairs . This places staff rocks Oh yea and its Cancun so the sun and sand and beach is amazing as well !

"In the midst of it all"

This place is an entire vibe! From beginning to end, even in the midst of a hurricane! I visited with three friends, all from Tucson, AZ, my first time in Cancun but not Mexico. We arrived after midnight and check-in took about 30 min to get us all registered, as we bought the all inclusive package. We were all in adjoining suites, one king room, one room with two double beds and a kitchenette adjoined by a living room with a full kitchen and a murphy bed so everyone had their own space! The fridge was stocked with an assortment of drinks, a few snacks and we ordered a smorgasbord of food once we got settled! Room service is available at all times Our first full day: we went to the cafe for breakfast where mask are required and they are social distancing, hand sanitizer is administered before seating and the staff has mask as well. The resort didn't disappoint, they came through in every aspect. The beach was beautiful, the pool was clean! Social distancing was even observed there, as best it could be. We'd go down in the morning to claim our seats with towels and personal items and it was never disturbed. The poolside service was superb and the drinks were flowing! Monday (10/26) there were rumblings of Tropical Storm Zeta turning into a category one hurricane so the resort began to prepare. We went on our excursions (booked through the hotel concierge) which was also effected, we only got to do 2 of 4 things but it was still great! Upon returning to the resort arrive 6pm, we were greeted an given boxed lunch (sandwich, chips, drink and a piece of fruit) as everything else on the property was shut down. They gave us instructions on hurricane procedures and we headed to our room on the 5th floor where we basically sat with the patio door open as the wind and temperature felt great. We all went to sleep around 2am and I was awakened an hour or two later when I heard a weird suctioning noise, the water was hitting the patio door via the wind and getting stuck between the screen and the door. The next morning, all was good, you could see the staff cleaning, trying to get things in order just like any other day. Men in the pool removing sand and debris, etc. However, our living room was soaked, water was leaking from the ceiling above so we had to move to a comparable room which wasn't the same but close enough. We ended up in 1001 which had a wrap around patio, personal jacuzzi but only one double bed so my friend and I had to share but all in all this trip was A1.

He was funny, warm and went above and beyond to ensure the best experience. Our food was delicious and the drinks were top shelf and our glass was always full.

Love this resort! It is outside of town with beautiful landscaping and a great breeze. You look directly at Isla Mujeres & the amazing water. The food is great, service is incredible and resort is the perfect size and beautiful. Love the hammocks on the patios. This was our 2nd time staying here and can't wait to go back.

"Beautiful Resort"

This resort is beautiful. Nice private beach, great beach access, spacious pools. No swim up bar. The bite size food bar has great food and drinks. The breakfast was good but repeats everyday. Room service is quick and efficient. We were on the first floor so it was great to walk right out to the pool. There were always fresh towels and somewhere to sit around the pool or by the beach. Entertainment during the day like Aqua Zumba and live music.There were ants in our room. It didn't ruin the trip. The tub/shower is awkwardly designed if you have back or knee issues you may have difficulty getting into the shower. The customer service is great and the valets were amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly. I'd definitely stay here again. The location is close to parasailing and snorkeling. This resort is away from the hotel zone.

Had a wonderful family vacation. Leonel the evening manager was amazing. We had an issue and he was quick to respond and solve the problem. We appreciated his professionalism and excellent customer service. The property is beautiful. The beds are so comfortable it's hard to get out of bed. The kids club was excellent and my kids begged to go every day. The food was very good. I loved the Asian restaurant the best. Sadly we went there the last night of our stay. It was so good it has made me long for more. We did the all inclusive package. I highly recommend it because everything is wonderful. My kids enjoyed the scuba gear and many swimming pools. We hope to go back again!

"Amazing resort"

We had the best time at Villa del Palmar. The resort was so clean and the staff was so friendly. The food was amazing. We went to the steakhouse, Italian and Japanese restaurants. Absolutely amazing food and staff. We were celebrating our 15 anniversary and at every restaurant they did something special for us. We had great service at the pool. Victor took great care of our needs. The tiki bar was the best. Miguel and Manuel were amazing. By day 2, they knew what we drank but also maybe some great suggestions for drinks. They never disappointed us. The resort did such a great job with keeping us safe with Covid. We were never worried about it. We did a spa day and it was probably the best spa we have ever been too. Highly recommend this resort. Thank you to the staff for making our anniversary trip so special

"Absolutely Perfect"

My wife and I booked a last minute trip to Mexico, as a vacation we had planned in the States was out of the question due to Covid issues. We got a great deal on a 5 night, all-inclusive package through Expedia and after looking at the pics of the place we had to go. Man, were we not in the least bit wrong. The hotel grounds were gorgeous. The pictures truly do it no justice. The lobby was elegant and the staff was top notch. We were there for an anniversary and birthday, so we may have gotten a little bit of a better room than normal, but it was perfect and our view was amazing. We were almost dead center on the 5th floor, so overlooking the beautiful pools and ocean was a true treat every morning. The sunrises were incredible. Sergio, our pre-arrival concierge, did a great job helping me make my wife's time here start out even that much better (see the pics). We arrived later in the afternoon on a Tuesday, so we just had room service dinner and went to the Casona STK bar for drinks. The guys there were phenomenal and I'm embarrassed that I do not recall their names. They were great to us the entire time we were there, and we kept going back. The next morning we awoke to one of those gorgeous sunrises on the beach and then made our way to breakfast at Davino. It was delicious, to say the least, and the service was fantastic. We then went out to the pool where we received impeccable service from Wilbert at the poolside section of Bites Bar. Wednesday night we had dinner at Davino, and we were not disappointed. Thursday morning we returned to the pool and got tremendous service again, this time from Victor. Both he and Wilbert kept the Micheladas and Ojos Rojos flowing! That night we had dinner at La Casona STK, and like at Davino we received excellent service and food. Friday we took an excursion, that we booked separately, out to Isla Mujeres - hat tip to Pepe at Cancun Sailing! Friday night we returned to the Casona Bar and had a great time with the guys (I want to say Miguel and Miguel, but I don't want to commit to that, as I already feel terrible for not remembering their names), after which we enjoyed a room service dinner. Saturday was our last full day there, and as you can probably guess we enjoyed another day by the pool sipping on Ojos Rojos (y Coronas para mi esposa) from Wilbert. We couldn't leave this wonderful spot without having lunch at Zama at least once, so we parted ways with Bites Bar lunches (which were delicious) for that. I had the Soft-Shelled Crab on recommendation from another guest, wow. We were happy we went. We finished up Saturday with another fun night at Casona Bar and topped it off with room service dinner. I don't even want to talk about how depressing Sunday was. But back to the good stuff. I can't say enough about the service staff there. Everyone from the lobby staff, to the restaurant/bar service, to room service. They truly made a terrific resort an absolutely perfect vacation. And if I didn't already give enough special thanks to Wilbert and Victor at Bites Bar poolside, and the Miguels (me disculpo si me equivoco!) at Casona Bar, then let me make sure I unequivocally do here. They were fantastic. Overall we loved the resort, and plan to make it a future go-to in Cancun.

"Villa Del Palmar, Cancun"

This resort is beautiful and immaculate. The rooms are gorgeous. The staff is incredible in every way. We were just there in tropical storm Gamma and they worked so hard to clean up afterwards. The beach is beautiful, yes there is seaweed but they clean the beach daily. The ocean in that area is calm and safer and yes it has seaweed at the edges but didn't affect our swimming. Some people can be very picky but this is part of the Caribbean, get over it! All of the restaurants are first class, offering high standards of cuisine. We used book vip so got a bargain all inclusive deal, it was well worth it. I can't wait to go back!

"Nice getaway "

1. The beach sucks. Seaweed covers the ground and washes up on the beach so we never swam. Locals said its always like that & not just caused by rain. 2. Food is fantastic. Every restaurant plates their food perfectly, its all so pretty. Italian place Davino was good, slow service, didnt go back. Steak place was great, filet was delicious, creme brlée was lemony & kinda strange. Hiroshi, the Japanese restaurant, was delicious, but definitely made me sick. Both nights we ate there, I got sick and the one thing I had both nights was the salad. It was so delicious but Im still feeling the effects of it days after returning home. Apparently its tough to wash bacteria off of lettuce, so do NOT get the salad! Weve stayed in multiple resorts and never got sick before, so that sucks. The Bites place has fantastic snacks and fun, creative drinks. 24/7 Room service was nice, though you cant order from a specific restaurant, and restaurants dont offer anything to-go. There isnt a place to get coffee outside of the breakfast restaurant (slow service) or the Starbucks where you have to pay if youre not doing all inclusive. One restaurant, Caprichos, was still closed. 3. Pools, hot tubs & bars close at 1030. Since the resort is a decent drive from anything, theres just not much to do after 10. 4. Customer service is awesome. Everyone is so kind and helpful.5. The room was really great, a lot newer than the location in Puerto Vallarta. They are building a new resort next store, so we heard that at 7am.6. There were probably only about 150ish guests at the resort. They told us 35% occupancy but there were times when there wasnt another person outside except for us, so now is an awesome time to go if you want a quiet getaway. 7. We spent two days at the resort relaxing, one day at Isla Mujeres (took the downtown ferry- it runs every 30 min), and one day in Tulum (rented a car). The ferry by the resort runs only a few times a day & takes a long time. Overall a wonderful trip! Just dont eat the salad ;)

We stayed hear for 6 days, 5 nights. The resort and the amenities are beautiful, well maintained, extremely clean and the staff made our trip. Every single person we encountered from our concierge, bell man, room service, check in/out, room service, servers, waiters, etc. were so nice, helpful and accommodating to our limited Spanish.Our room was large, very clean with a comfortable bed. Our favorite was our private hammock on our deck.We ordered room service a couple times. They set up the food on our table and made sure we had everything we needed before leaving.The pools were fun and clean. We scuba trained in the pool and was surprised at how clean the water was....usually you can see all kinds of particles floating in the water.The restaurants all had very good food and many options. We loved the variety of drink options at each locations which were all delicious. Breakfast was great, we loved the snack bar for lunch and although all restaurants on the property were great we loved Hiroshi! Our experience at Hiroshi was our favorite. We ended up dining hear multiple times because we loved the food. It was tasty, presented well and had a good variety of Japanese type food. Our waiter, Martin Zorroza, made our dining experience. He was fun, energetic, a great waiter and just made our dining experience special. Out of all the great staff he stood out to us!

We have been here two nights so far and it has been an incredible experience. Even with Covid happening they have not skipped a beat in customer service. We travel a lot and this has been one of our most enjoyable experiences. The staff really does a great job of making you feel like youre home. We were prompted to write a review after our experience at the Italian restaurant, Davino. Our waiter was Salomon Torres and he was wonderful. Super attentive and quick and even brought us a special dessert. Stephany was also amazing, she even shared some Spanish with us. We cannot express just how wonderful everyone is and what an impression this has left us with. We never give reviews but this place is just special.

Each meal that we had was delicious and very creative. All restaurants and bars have their own style to make you enjoy a unique experience. The bars were very nice and drinks were awesome. We also enjoyed talking to the chef Fabian from Davino restaurant, he was very nice, professional and informative about the dishes we selected. All restaurantes were great.

Ruben there took great care of us every day. also, check out the yoga and stretching on the pier every morning at 9am. Lina is a joy for the sessions on the pier for yoga. the pool temperatures were even perfect. clean everywhere. landscaping impeccible.

"Amazing experience!"

From check in to check out, this is a top notch, 5 diamond experience. We were a little nervous going into this trip, having never stayed in this part of Cancun before and having booked through a third party vacation seller. What we found were beautiful views, an elegant setting and staff members who honestly were invested in providing guests with a truly unforgettable experience. The staff's attention to their guests is unparalleled. I dont think "no" is in their vocabulary. We had the all-inclusive plan which gave us opportunity to eat in each restaurant several times. The food was comparable to any expensive fancy restaurant we have been to. Every bite of food lived up to its description and our expectation. They paid very close attention to any allergies or food preferences and bent over backwards to provide anything we asked for, even if it wasn't on the menu - Teriyaki shrimp and gluten free fried rice at the Japanese restaurant . The waiters at the restaurants were completely invested in making sure that we had an incredible experience, every time we ate. Thank you to Saul at the steakhouse for taking such good care of us! Who knew that cinnamon ice cream was so amazing! (Saul) Our pool waiter, Angel, was incredible! He anticipated our needs and provided the most above and beyond service that I could ever have imagined. We were never without a drink and anything we asked for was possible. The food he brought us from Bites was incredibly delicious. Didn't seem like pool food, it was gourmet. On our last day at the pool, Angel brought over the manager for us to meet and Sandra, who sang a beautiful song to us to say goodbye. It was my birthday while we were there and Angel went out of his way all day long to make sure I felt special and cared for. Flowers, gifts, extra drinks and food. Seriously, my husband asked me if he had dropped the ball because Angel was taking better care of me than he was. I would return just to sit by the pool and be pampered by Angel. We miss you Angel! Also, Armando, the activities director was sweet and funny and didnt tire of teaching us how to dance Salsa and Merengue. He didnt even make us feel bad when we refused to do pool aerobics, thanks Armando! Housekeeping was great and attentive, loved the turn down service at night. This might be the best vacation we ever have or ever will take. The bar has been set very high. Not sure if anyplace else can live up to the comparison of this trip.Thank you Villa del Palmar for an incredible vacation!!

"Wonderful place, amazing food and drinks, and service you wont believe until you see for yourself!"

My wife and I enjoyed a week here Sept 2020 with the standard all-inclusive package. This place definitely exceeded both our expectations. The Japanese (where the waiters had a great sense of humor!) and the Steak House restaurants (thanks, Saul, for the amazing and friendly service) were amazing. Breakfasts were fantastic, and the Mexican food for lunch was seriously authentic. Poolside, the activity director, Armando, was so friendly and personable - not sure he succeeded in turning us into salsa/merengue dancers, but he sure as heck tried and we had lots of fun. But what really stood out to us was the pool-size food and drink service. The food was crazy good - way better than most pool-side food. And the drinks were awesome. But the waiter who adopted us for the week, Angel, was truly what made our vacation special. He was so nice and friendly and always around when we needed or wanted something. When he found out it was my wifes birthday, he showered her with gifts, flower petals on her lounge chair, a special pool-side cake decorated just for her, and he even brought Sandra over to sing Besame - besame mucho to us, which was truly beautiful. Its like we literally had our own personal Angel to make this week special thanks Angel! Hope to see you again when we come back. The hotel was maybe at about 30% capacity, and we never felt crowded at all. This is the best time to go - you will be very happy you did! And even though the beach wasnt the rolling surf you get in the regular hotel zone, it was peaceful, beautiful, decent to swim around in, with lots of shade from palapas and palm trees, and not very much seaweed to deal with, and a beach palapa bar right there enjoyed several later afternoon naps on the lounge chairs together listening to the gentle lapping of the waves.

My husband and I came to Villa del Palmar for our honeymoon, worried that COVID would place a damper on the experience. The staff at VdP has gone above and beyond to ensure safety, fun, and luxury. I was most excited for a private dinner that was arranged at La Casona on the resort, and with good reason. It was the most breathtaking experience with exquisite food. A special thanks to our waiter, Mr. Mauricio Sosa who we had the pleasure of seeing twice. He only enhanced the amazing experience and elegant atmosphere. We couldnt have asked for a better time in the hands of their capable staff. Hector at Hiroshi was also wonderful!And these are only the names weve become familiar with. The service from each member was in fact five stars.

"Very safe and relaxing vacation"

VdP is taking COVID-19 very seriously. Upon arrival our temperatures were checked, and the check in process was done in our room. All the staff were wearing masks or other forms of face covering. Although not obligatory, many guests were wearing face masks in the common areas. Procedures were in place to encourage distancing.The food at VdP is absolutely five stars. All chefs are masters of their game. Due to the reduced number of guests, Zama was only open for lunch, which was a pity as Chef Oscar prepares fabulous authentic Mexican cuisine. The waiters are very friendly, especially Noe.The food at Hiroshi, run by Chef Jonathan, is superb and creative. The manager, Adriana, is extremely attentive, and the waiters, especially Martin ("Mr. Excellente"), are all fantastic. STK is run by Chef Manuel, who for our last evening created a culinary masterpiece. The pool areas were very clean, not overcrowded and with great service by Eduardo Mendoza, and Moses and Samuel, the pool concierges. The guest concierges were very friendly with a can do attitude. We mostly interacted with Lulu Puente and Monse, who were both outstanding.In addition to having the all inclusive package, we also cooked a few days. All rooms (except the studios) have a fully equipped kitchen and there is an on site supermarket. Best is to go to a local market to buy fresh produce, meat and fish.OVERALL, WE CAN NOT WAIT TO RETURN TO VILLA DEL PALMAR.

"Most Amazing Time"

My friend and I visited Villa del Palmar Cancun from August 27-31. It was our first time there. The resort is beautiful, the staff are gracious and friendly. They attended to our every need or wish. The food was delicious!! All Tafer resorts seem to out do themselves with quality and selection of foods..... We especially had a great time at the beach bar! The Barmen, Sergio Hernandez and Abel Herrera were excellent! They are fun and anticipated our every need! They made us new and fun drinks and always checked on us if we were lounging by the water.... I am looking forward to my nest trip, hopefully in December! It will be great to see them again! Eduardo took care of us at the pool.... he was amazing as well! friendly and creative when we asked him to "surprise" us with a different drink! Each day when we left the pool, he said 'see you tomorrow!"... Loved that! We also felt extremely safe with respect to Covid, from the Cancun airport to the resort. Everything was clean and we saw staff constantly cleaning the entire time. The way the resort is set up, you only truly indoors when you're in your room or in 2 of the restaurants.

"We can’t say enough about this property and it’s service."

We just returned from our trip to Cancun from august 29- sept 5 and had one of the best Vacationa we have ever had. Last time we were in Cancun we stayed at the Ritz Carlton and thought we would try something new and were absolutely amazed at not only the property but the service and restaurant quality. We chose the all inclusive option for 5 days and couldnt believe the quality of the food. La Casona steak house and Hiroshi restaurants were amongst the best weve ever eaten at. We had our 5 year old son who loved the kids club and waterfalls of the bridge. We cant say enough about this property and its service. Specials thanks to Javier, Oscar and Sam at their Elite pool. You treated us with not only respect but exceptional service. A big thank you also to Mr Bob Kistner Sr and jr for making our trip so enjoyable. Our friends who came with us also want to thank everyone for an exceptional vacation. Thank you, thank you, to everyone of the staff. We will be back.

"Family trip"

We came here for a family vacation, and right away we were impressed by the hospitality of the staff. Everyone here was warm and inviting, and the amenities were fantastic. Although the resort offers several fine dining experiences, we found our favorite place to be Davinos. Chef Benito is both amazing and creative with his dishes. The food was so delicious and the service provided by Ivan was exceptional. Cant say enough good things about them both. We highly recommend booking your vacation here and enjoying a relaxing dinner at Davinos. For the best experience be sure to ask for Ivan B. as your waiter.

"Well be back!"

This was our second time here. Beautiful, very clean, welcoming, service is the best. The spa is phenomenal! Steak at the steak house was THE BEST! Along with Mauricio! All staff are courteous and happy to see you, they are all clean and have professional appearance. The staff are continuously cleaning and trimming all while being friendly. We do not get that kind of service in the states. Nothing negative to post.

"Great Resort, Not my Favorite Beach"

Villa del Palmar is a beautiful resort! The rooms are very nice and they have a hammock on the balcony! Super cool! The staff, especially the entertainment staff is wonderful. We had a wonderful time participating in water aerobics, cornhole, and water volleyball. Uriel and Armando were amazing, kind, fun, and made the day activities super awesome! The beach, not my favorite. I really love the ocean in Cancun Hotel Zone, as it is clear and beautiful. Here the ocean is murky and while we were visiting there was a lot of seaweed. We didn't get into the ocean here, because of this. However, there is plenty of beach space to take nice evening walks. You can see Isla Mujeres from the beach and the car ferry is very close to this resort, actually next door. Not sure if that is why the water is like this here. Therefore, we spent all of our time at the pool. The pools are great and the service is outstanding. Your glass will not go empty here. It was also nice that you could easily use the day beds here without having to reserve them. Due to Covid, there weren't many guests and therefore all the chairs weren't reserved by 6 am...LOL. It was nice to actually be able to find a chair or beach bed any time of the day! The location of the hotel is near a place called Puerto Juarez, quite far from Cancun Hotel Zone. I am not sure that there is much to do outside of the hotel, but we had all-inclusive so we didn't need to leave. We did leave a couple of times and utilized public bus service to get to Cancun hotel zone and another area. The bus system is very easy to use and is much less expensive than taxis. You can catch the bus easily across the street from the hotel.Would I stay here again? Probably not...mainly because of the beach and water. I really love the beautiful turquoise color of the water in Cancun Hotel zone. However, if the hotel relocated to that area, I would stay there again, because the facility, service, and staff were amazing.

"Mostly a great stay in paradise, even during COVID-19"

I stayed at Villa del Palmar in Cancun for 14 nights. Probably my longest ever hotel stay, so I had big expectations for the property. While I was excited to be in Cancun for two weeks, my main motivation for the visit was to stay two weeks in Mexico, in order to be able to enter the United States. At the time of this writing, it's not possible as a tourist to enter the US if you have been in the EU/Schengen area for the past two weeks. So staying in Mexico was a way to get around this (and it worked successfully!)I used Cancun Shuttle for my drive from the airport to the hotel. It appears to be the one that the airport itself links to from their website, and everything worked out smoothly with them. The online booking process was very simple and easy, and it was about $30 each way. Originally I was going to book the transfer with the hotel, but they wanted $50 each way, and they required payment up front instead of just charging it to the room.Prior to arriving at the hotel, I received an e-mail daily from their concierge. Despite telling them multiple times that I didn't want to book anything from them in advance, they kept sending the same standard emails basically every day. I thought this was extremely annoying, and really gave a terrible first impression of the property. The emails from the concierge also included really poor marketing tricks, like saying "last chance today to get special prices" and then the following day, the same prices would still be available. Don't fall for it.Once I arrived at the hotel, I had a meeting with the concierge where they wanted to up-sell me further. The lady was very nice, but she was trying to convince me to get the "free" VIP card, which would give you discounts on restaurants and bars, on spa services, etc. After explaining all these benefits, and when I actually got convinced to agree to it, it turns out that in order to receive the VIP card you had to participate in some hour-long sales conference in the morning. It felt like a scam and very annoying when you're just trying to enjoy your holiday. So definitely not a good first impression.Aside from that, the hotel was wonderful. Of course, due to COVID-19, the occupancy was pretty low and as such a lot of things had been kind of scaled down.For example, during my stay in late July and early August of 2020, they only had one restaurant open for breakfast, two for lunch, and three for dinner. The breakfast at Davino was excellent. There were a lot of choices from the menu, and I tried probably most of the options during my two weeks at the hotel. Overall the food was high quality, and usually served super quick. I would definitely recommend booking a rate that includes breakfast. I usually had lunch at the informal Bites restaurant close to the beach. Their fare was pretty basic, and very much catered to the many American tourists visiting Cancun. The food was good though, and the setting with a view of the ocean was perfect. I also tried lunch at the Mexican restaurant, Zamá, which was indeed only open for lunch during my stay. The restaurant was not very busy at all during my stay - sometimes there would only be one or two other parties. But, again, the food was good and the restaurant itself was really nice.I had dinner several times at all three restaurants that were open in the evenings: the Italian restaurant Davino, La Casona STK (a steak house) and the Japanese sushi restaurant Hiroshi. It's very hard to pick a favorite since all three were excellent. I think one of the best meals I had was the Fish Shitake at Hiroshi - a grouper fish in a delicious curry cream sauce. Their sushi was also very good and high quality.At La Casona, their steaks were excellent too, and the mashed potatoes in particular was divine. So good. Some of the highlights at Davino for me included their carbonara chicken for two, and the steak toscano.The website also mentions the Caprichos restaurant, but it was not open during my stay.On the beach itself, they also had a lovely Tiki Bar where you could get lunch served from Bites. I tried that a couple of times and it worked out very well. Their cocktails were excellent too.Generally, the quality of the cocktails varied a lot. The Pina Colada for example was pretty basic - mostly just a slush ice with a Pina Colada'ish flavor. Some cocktails seemed to be made with a pre-mix without the brand-name alcohol. Other cocktails were more authentic. Indeed, both of size and the quality of cocktails varied quite a bit, but for the most part they were good.At check in you were presented with a long list of rules you had to follow at the resort, but subsequently you only had access to this list from the TV in the room. Indeed, there was no physical book in the room with hotel information. It was only available from a menu on the TV, including the room service menu and such. I also never found out what the mini bar prices were, but I don't think I was actually charged for the soft drinks I consumed.My room itself - a Deluxe Studio Ocean View - was pretty nice. Very spacious, with a lovely bathroom including a tub. I also had a good view of the ocean in the distance, albeit the main part of the view were the hotel grounds. The balcony was nice, with a big and comfy hammock to relax.One small downside of relaxing on the balcony was the fact that the waterfall, a feature of one of the pools, was extremely loud and noisy, so you couldn't enjoy the peace and quiet until the evening when the waterfall was turned off.Also notice that the beach is facing east, so you can't see the sunset from there. You can only see it from the other side of the building, i.e. the opposite direction of the ocean. I sometimes ventured up to the 9th floor and looked out on the sunset from the side facing the reception area. I also enjoyed my large king bed, and the decor in the room itself. The TV was not very good in quality. Definitely not HD, and there were not a lot of English-language channels. The WiFi was also very slow. There was an option to pay extra for a premium high-speed connection, but once I had selected the free option initially, I couldn't figure out how to go back and select the premium WiFi instead. Aside from daily cleaning and housekeeping, the hotel also had a nightly turndown service, which was a nice touch especially during these COVID times when a lot of hotels only offer cleaning by request.Overall, in terms of amenities, I'd say the hotel included most of what I was expecting from a high-end luxury resort. I also used the laundry service which was great.The property itself is really nice. Lots of pools, including very big pools, and some great hot tubs as well. There's also a small beach by the hotel, although it suffered from a lot of seaweed and algae - especially during the first week of my stay. There was a tractor that tried to remove it daily, but often to no avail. The hotel is located in the Isla Mujeres area - so about half an hour outside of Cancun itself, and the main hotel zone. As such, there is nothing close by. You can't really leave the hotel to go for a walk or explore the surroundings, since there is nothing to explore. That also means you are "stuck" with the dining options at the hotel, unless you want to take a car or taxi to drive at least half an hour. I ventured into the hotel zone one day, and I realized that the beach in the main hotel zone in Cancun is significantly better. The ocean also looks much, much better and has a far prettier blue color in the main hotel zone, compared to Villa del Palmar's location.So if I go to Cancun again, I will definitely want to stay in the main hotel zone, for that reason alone. The beach and ocean is just so much nicer there, to be honest.That being said, I still think Villa del Palmar is a great hotel - even when they were not operating at full capacity, with all restaurants open and such. I also think they had downscaled the number of activities a lot. They did offer a weekly movie on the beach experience which was nice. The first one I watched there was "Back To The Future" which happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies, so that was very cool. They also had a magician perform one night which was great.The hotel and my room was very clean all the time, and there is no doubt that they took the COVID-19 stuff seriously. Of course, all staff were wearing masks or face shields - and while guests didn't have to wear masks, we did have to use hand sanitizer when entering restaurants, and of course take the necessary social distancing precautions.I also liked the fact that there was a mini market on site, offering snacks, drinks and food but also a good selection of souvenirs, and any products you may need for personal hygiene, sun block, etc. There was also a little Starbucks type of café which was nice. Just be careful when using their ATM. I took out $200 USD and paid a $28.75 fee for that.Staying at the hotel 14 days, I don't think three restaurants was enough. And it was frustrating that I usually had to make a reservation, despite the low occupancy. One time I was told to make a reservation at Davino, even though the restaurant was almost completely empty at the time.The weather during my stay was excellent. Around 30 degrees Celsius and sunny almost the entire time. It was almost too warm, honestly! I definitely had every opportunity to work on my tan. During the two weeks I was there, it only rained once - over an afternoon.In terms of pricing, I think my room rate was pretty reasonable. The food and drinks were also reasonably priced, for Mexico. I could have paid an extra $110 per night for all inclusive, but I don't think it was worth it, especially when my rate included breakfast. I didn't spend that much per day in food and drinks. Had more restaurants been open, it may have been worth the cost, but it was still quite a premium to pay extra for all inclusive.Aside from the very pushy concierge, service from staff was great. Especially in the restaurants. Everyone was great and really nice and accommodating.Generally I enjoyed my stay at Villa del Palmar a lot and would definitely recommend it, if you don't mind staying outside of the hotel zone, and don't mind the fact that the beach and ocean is not quite as exotic in this portion of Cancun. The upside is that it's more peaceful and quiet, compared to the louder and more party'ish vibe in central Cancun.

"Amazing Resort!"

We just came back from Villa del Palmar after spending 7 days in this amazing resort. The hotel adheres to the COVID-19 guidelines and felt safe. The hotel is beautiful, clean and the staff was amazing. Want to thank Jose Rios Hernandez for accommodating us in a beautiful penthouse which my family loved. Also want to thank Manuel Rosales for catering to our food needs at the delicious restaurants. Manuel is an asset to the resort. Thanks to Chef Israel at Davino's Restaurant, servers Efrain, Saul, Benito Arjona, Alberto. We also received amazing service and attention at the pool from Wilmer and Benjamin, they made sure we had a great time and were very attentive. Our concierge Monse was very helpful with the resort's activities, etc. Last but not least, Joel, who made sure our room was always fresh and clean. Overall, we had a fabulous experience and will definitely be coming back.

"COVID-19 Cancun August Vacation "

The four (4) of us just got back from a week at this wonderful resort. While the property is a fair distance away from the Hotel Zone it is a beautiful piece of property. The staff is excellent. Hats off to the wait staff at Zama (be sure to try the seafood sauté dish) and the Village Spa for massages along with the attendants at the Elite oceanfront infinity pool. The suite sized rooms are so well appointed and maintained. We had a spacious three-bedroom complete with a wrap around balcony and a hot tub. This Villa Del Palmar location is a top notch destination that should not be missed!

"You'll never want to leave!!"

Villa Del Palmar, is not just a resort it's extended family. Almost everyone that we met during our stay exceeded our expectations. Starting with before our arrival the concierges Lulu and Natalie made sure we had our reservations in order, airport taxi was confirmed and the spa was booked. When it came to our dining experiencebreakfast with Bonito was always a great start to our day. In Davinos Miguel Canche, Ivan, Manuel and Able made dinner and drinks so special we went more than expected. At the STK house Saul met our every need. In the lobby bar Manuel greeted us with a smile and our drinks ready to go. The most important was our pool side service. Sitting in the Elite pool and being waited on by Samuel, Victor, and Moses is what took our vacation to another level. From the sun glass cleaning service, always having fresh clean towels, inflating our pool floats, and making sure we stayed in the shade no matter where we were. Thank you to all who made this a fantastic trip during such a difficult time.

"Over all trip was amazing"

My friend and I stayed at Villa Del Par Mar for 6 days in late-August. I will be honest and tell you that we arent typically an All-Inclusive type of family because we enjoy good meals at good restaurants and All-Inclusives tend to lean more to average to below average when it comes to meals but Villa Del Par Mars restaurants were very good. In our opinion, the Japanese restaurant is the best. The waters Neri Rueda and Martin Zorroza provided very good service. Hector Medina enchanted us with attention and give us his advice to make food choices. The hotel itself was very clean and the grounds were amazing (as most reviewers have mentioned).The pools were great and the service at the pool was also exceeded expectations with some wonderful service.The beach and water were clear and worm, that is why we choose that place. We were swimming in the ocean every day.We went to see Isla Mujeres which was nice. Also, we took ATV, Zip Lining, and Cenotes tour with Extreme Adventures which was amazing. Angel (our tour guy) provided excellent care, instructions, and fun.

"Villa del Palmar Cancun exceded our expectations!"

We traveled with our two teenagers for a family vacation and the Resort was nothing but amazing! The service, cleanliness, and safety was wonderful. Our suite was beautiful and had everything we needed. The food and drinks were excellent! Fish tacos and quesadillas were our favorite at the poolside. Our friends Roberto and Adrian at the tiki bar were great and personable. Everyone is so kind and do an amazing job! Thank you Villa del Palmar, we will be back for sure!

"So much fun!"

Service, food, hospitality were all great. The all inclusive option was very nice with plenty of food and cocktails flowing. All the staff members were amazing and def cater to your needs. One disappointment was the taxi situation. They are divided and considered a red zone meaning only one taxi service (red cars) can service when leaving the resort where they charge you based on an inflated fee schedule so dont think about calling your own taxi service from the resort because they will not allow another taxi service. There was also a lot of seaweed on the beach when we stayed but we noticed that they def make an effort to clean this everyday (the influx of seaweed also depends on the time of year apparently).

"6 days in paradise"

Loved our stay, food was over the top especially at the Italian restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Room was super clean everyday, customer service was a 10, the staff was over the top. the spa was one of the best I've been to. Loved yoga on the pier every morning, kayaking, paddle boarding and just sitting under the huts on the beach. We were very lucky the resort was 30% full so we had the place to ourselves. My only issue was the face masks some of the staff in certain restaurants were wearing. They were clear made of plastic and it did not cover their face. After speaking with the manager it was somewhat addressed.

"Simply the best"

I was reading some of the reviews, missing Villa del Palmar. My partner and I had planned to travel there again in March and you already know the story. We had such an amazing time that we invested in becoming members with J.C. He did an outstanding job with us (even helping us with an unethical booking agent). We loved our spacious one-bedroom suite, thought the steak house and Mexican food were excellent, loved, loved the receptionist at the spa, really appreciated the bartenders and servers who went out of their way to greet and help us. I love that hotel is upscale without being stuffy and haughty. It's exceptionally clean and laid back atmosphere is so welcoming. We will be back as soon as we can. Best Hilary and Michael.

"Our room was fabulous with large spa bath"

Checkin at 11 pm after all day traveling was quick and easy. Being late for a restaurant, we tried room service. Our friendly waiter brought a full salmon meal in just minutes with a delicious bottle of nice wine. That arrival was just the beginning! We felt safe, we were pampered and our room was fabulous with large spa bath, barely used because of all the outdoor jacuzzis and swimming pools and the gorgeous white sand and warm sea. The grounds were metriculously cared for and beautiful. The required talk concerning purchasing a membership was painless. We were presented with a lovely buffet breakfast before our representative began her talk. Lois assured us from the 1st sentence, that if we were not interested, no problem, just enjoy our stay. The talk was casual and kept to 45 minutes or even less unless of course you decided to become a member. Great discounts for Covid, makes the deal tempting. No pressure, no stress. We were treated like royalty in every aspect and I am so spoiled now!! Check out was equally easy, transportation a cinch. We went to a market in town by cab and our driver waited over an hour for us without extra pay. I highly recommend this inclusive package to Cancun, I spend more than $300 a week at home it seems!!! The rooms are huge, drop down queen in living room if, like we were, just friends. For non inclusive the suite features a complete kitchen...dishwasher even, and washer and dryer. I could live in this hotel no problem. I will go back 100% for sure.

"Solid place to stay for a few days"

My family stayed at Villa Del Par Mar for about 3 days in mid August after spending about 5 days in Tulum. I will be honest and tell you that we arent typically an All-Inclusive type of family because we enjoy good meals at good restaurants and All-Inclusives tend to lean more to average to below average when it comes to meals but Villa Del Par Mars restaurants were very good. We were a little disappointed in the dinner at the Italian Restaurant which was our dinner the first night there but the Sushi and Steak House more than made up for it- our meals at both places were really good and the service at all 3 was excellent. The hotel itself was very clean and the grounds were amazing (as most reviewers have mentioned) The pools were great which was one of the reasons I choose this place and the service at pool was also exceeded expectations with some wonderful service.The beach is on the small side and if you are looking for that clear Cancun water this isnt the place for you. The water is a little darker and theres no changing that its just the way it is on this part of the beach. BUT if you can get a boat trip over to Isle Mujeres and get to North Beach you will experience some of the most beautiful water in the world. North Beach itself is close due to COVID but you can swim in the waters (about 80 yards out) and the deepest it goes is about 5-6. I suggest it if you can do it. Now for the Time Share. We were a little tired after driving from Tulum and just wanted to check in and get situated and relax and Ive been at enough places to know that when the concierges (in this case a lot of young women who look like the stared in an 80s Robert Palmer video) sit you down with a binder of offers that theres a catch. In this case it was to tour their new hotel next door. We are not time share folks (been there done that) and being that we were only there 3 days I didnt want to spend 1/2 day listening to a sales pitch. We politely declined and the young woman while visibly disappointed was polite and we went on our way. Id go back for a short stay again-not sure if this is a place Id stay for a longer length of time.

""EXCELLENT SERVICE""

We had an amazing time, the services was excellent from the bell boy to the maid everything was so nice. Very clean resort, we had the all Inclusive package, but to obtain this package, we were required to seat thru a 90 minute presentation, which turn into 4 hours. At the end of the presentation my family and I where really tired, the Hispanic director Eduardo, Jorge not really sure which one was his name, but Salvador was working underneath him on that day of Thursday of August 13th 2020. We was so disappointed at the end, when we decided not to join the membership. The director became very disrespectful telling us with an attitude to take our money and spend somewhere else. But this did not discourage us, we thought about it that evening, and decide to enjoy ourselves. The server's did an excellent job, very respectful and attentive. We want to say thank you for your hard work while we stay at your location of Villa del Palmar Enrique Alcudia, Candelario Velazquez, Raul Cohuo, Eduardo Mendoza, Josue Mendoza, and Martin Zorroza. Your wonderful attitude, your politeness, your caring, and your excellent service has made us considered returning, thank you again. Let's hope if we do have the opportunity to return we might be able to see you again and hopefully the COVID-19 virus will be gone. Thank you again.

This was an amazing visit for our family. All servers and restaurants were very nice. It would of been great if they offered white rice and more fish and seafood but still all the food was amazing and the servers were very outstanding. The resort should be able to be rated as a 10 diamond resort for the rooms were very nice and room service was amazing.

I stayed in this resort in August 2020 for 4 nights with young child and had an amazing time, The location was far from the rest of the hotel zone 40 minutes in a good drive from the Airport so that was peaceful! no buffet was open that was my only disappointment but that was due to covid, other than that the food at the Stake House and At the Japanese place was super! staff wise some are friendly some pick and choose who they're friendly too, they all expect tip even tho i had All Inclusive and that could be a bit annoying and extra costly having to tip almost eve staff you interact with , Loved the pools and the outdoor hot tubs, it was plenty and nicely kept. Overall I will stay at this Resort again.

"Best Vacation ever!"

Villa del Palmar is a beautiful resort inside and out, the staff was so pleasant from the time we stepped out of our shuttle, check in took less than 15 minutes. They even walked us to the nearest restaurant to get a delicious meal. Our room was so beautiful, the bed was so comfortable and decor was superb. We met so many nice people during our stay at Villa del Palmar, from housekeeping to the waiters at the restaurants at the pool, talk about the pool, my 6 year old daughter spent every waken minute at the pool or the kids club. The food at the resort was so delicious from room service, sushi, Italian even the Grill, LOVED it all, the drinks were also delicious especially Mango Tango, Yummy!!! I definitely would recommend and definitely come back to Villa del Palmar with friends and Family. Thank you all for a wonderful Vacation!!

"I totally recommend this resort"

We were there 08/12/20- 8/18/20. I totally recommend this resort for a family vacation. We went with our teens 14 and 16. The rooms were beautiful and so clean, the entire resort is so well kept , the landscape is beautiful , everyday I watched them cut the grass around the gardens by hand , trim the plants, water the flowers . The cleaning crew worked late hours washing outside , cleaning all chairs , picking up glasses and making sure the place looked beautiful every day. The food ... what can I say , I have not been to an all inclusive with this quality of food . The steak house , italian And sushi restaurants were all amazing . The Mexican restaurant for lunch was my favorite , fish tacos and ceviche was to die for . The menu says the fish was fried and I asked for grilled and they made it every time. Drinks, also impressed with selection of alcohol included , the premiums would be the same here in the US . They had a great selection and the bartenders I cant not thank them enough ( Miguel and Adrian ) both were amazing , we tried so many different drinks and they were all delicious . After our first drink , they knew our names, our kids names and what we liked to drink . The servers at the pool were also amazing ( Benjamin , Maria and Romeo). I give a five star to all of you for your services . You made our vacation so much better , we felt like superstars ! I do recommend the Jelly Rogers dinner cruise if you like music specially rock and roll ! It was a blast .

"Excellent resort"

My husband and I stayed at this resort for 6 days/5 nights with an all inclusive package. Immaculately kept grounds,pools and rooms. Definitely 5 stars. Only downside was temperature of pools which are self cleaning with 1/2 ocean water and 1/2 regular water. Sea water was over 90 degrees, making pool water also too warm. Felt like bath water. Otherwise, amenities were on point. Staff went extra mile to meet our needs. We tried all five restaurants on grounds. Food was great.It was extremely evident that hotel staff and transportation service took sanitary precautions seriously for Covid19. We felt totally safe during our visit.I am handicapped and used my mobility scooter everywhere on the grounds,except on the beach. Resort has beautifully paved sidewalks, wide doorways and hallways throughout. We plan to go back.

"Perfect place to go for a family trip during the coronavirus"

We loved it here and loved the resort and people. We loved hector at the sushi restaurant and Jose our sweet pool waiter and Francisco at the steak restaurant. Javier our butler was so helpful and everyone made sure we had everything we needed and that we had a great trip. Perfect and completely safe to come to during the pandemic! In fact I loved it more cause no crowds and you got most things to do with just your family! Cancuns water is a dream. And this resort has great snorkeling right on its own beaches. The pier was also so nice to have excursions pick you up from Instead of having to get taxis and go to a Marina .

"Wonderful experience"

This is our second time visiting the resort and it did not disappoint. Everyone was constantly sanitizing, wearing masks, doing everything to make us feel safe. Excellent food at all the restaurant. The waitstaff is awesome no matter what restaurant you go to. Our waitress Rebeca at Zama was fabulous and then at STK Tomas was fantastic. They are so friendly and customer service is always a priority. We always leave feeling rejuvenated and safe. The rooms are clean and big. We had an ocean view which even offered a great views from our balcony of all the pools and the ocean. They offer turn down service so you never run out of towels or toiletries. Would definitely recommend.

"Celebrating my wifes 50th Birthday!"

We choose Villa DEL Palmar in Cancun because we wanted to go somewhere different with all inclusive. The resort rooms were very clean and spacious. We had a 1bedroom suite, very nice with living room space and kitchen. The surprise was the washer and dryer, which we didnt expect. The staff was excellent and Very friendly, the resort was not over crowded. The staff celebrated my wifes birthday by decorating the room and the restaurant sang happy birthday with a special birthday dessert treat! The weather was perfect. There are large swimming pools where you can choose the one you want to relax. The beach has white sand and the seaweed was not bad compared to some of the of place sea we have stayed. Excellent choice if you want to get away!

I cannot recommend Villa del Palmar - Cancun enough. My family and I just left Cancun and stayed at Villa del Palmar for the second time. It is now the only resort I will stay in in Cancun.

The resort is absolutely beautiful and the accommodations are outstanding. My family of 6 and I travel a lot, and the staff here are the best of anywhere we have ever been. They went out of their way to make our stay phenomenal. A special thank you to Moises, Samuel, Romeo, and Jose at the pool/Bites Bar, Hector at Hiroshi, Raphael and Oscar working behind the scenes, and Jose Jimenez who was extremely helpful and responsive with our reservation requests.

The service is outstanding - unlike any other service weve experienced! This is my third time back here. There is no reason to try any other resort. We were asked if we wanted a drink and shots before we even sat down on the beach! The dinner service is great everywhere and love that its all sit down a la carte (even not during covid). Mauricio at La Casona Steak house is amazing! I would definitely recommend.

"Fantastic place for families"

I have stayed at Villa del Palmar twice; the first time with my wife and then again five months later with the three kids as well. Both trips were all inclusive which I highly recommend.The first trip my wife and I stayed in a 1 bedroom oceanfront suite in tower tree (south side) and with the kids in a 2 bedroom oceanfront suite in tower one (north side). I heard that 2br suites in tower 3 have 2 kings and in tower 1 have 1 king and 2 queens. All suites w/ living room have a Murphy bed where my son slept. He did not want to share a room with his sisters.There are seven going next year so we have reserved the royal 3br oceanfront residence suite. Would live to hear experience of others who have stayed in one of these rooms. What was room number?

"Relaxing and Happy"

My husband and I went to this resort for a relaxing getaway and this is exactly what we got. Additionally we got an upscale beautiful resort. The hotel took great pride in being prepared to keep us safe during Covid. Our luggage was sanitized upon arrival. All the staff at the resort were wearing face coverings. All restaurants table and chairs were sanitized after each customer. We definitely had a lot of space around us when we were at the pool or even at beach bar. The evening restaurants were all very gourmet and delicious. Alcoholic beverages were good and we were provided amazing and fun service from Miguel and Manuel at the Beach Bar. They paid special attention to us and made us feel at home. After some debate we decided to do a couples massage. It was worth every penny and kudos to the one hour Hydro Relaxation session at the beginning of our appointment that was included in our massage price. We were truly pampered from the moment we walked in. The pool entertainemnt provided by Ueriel and Armando was fun and we enjoyed many conversations with them. The room was very clean, spacious and the bed very comfortable. It was an amazing experience and made us feel elegant.

"I love it here!"

I truly loved this place, and can't wait to return!The FOOD is the number one reason. It was a truly gourmet menu at every restaurant, everything tastes like it was chef-prepared, as opposed to "buffet food" that I've had at other all-inclusives.The food and drink service by the pool was fantastic (shout out to Romeo) -- literally eating tacos & drinking fruity drinks by the pool in Mexico is my favorite thing to do in the whole world!Now, I am a food person, my husband not as much-- his big downside was that the beach is not great. The sand is rough and rocky, and the water is filled with seaweed that never stops coming in. We stepped in the water one time, and never went back. We stuck with the pool, which is luxurious, has an ocean view and phenomenal service.There is a ferry right next door so you can go to Isla Mujeres and spend a day there, very easily. They tried to sell us on a ferry that was miles down the street, not sure why. Just keep that in mind.We went during COVID and I was very impressed with the cleanliness and mask-wearing of all staff. It definitely felt safer than home in the USA. Overall it was an amazing place to vacation, and I'd love to go back!

What a great vacation .After rescheduling several times due to Covid. Finally made it to Cancun and this wonderful resort. Best service and food. The resort is very clean and staff is taking precautions. They were at approximately 35 percent capacity. I'm not one for crowds so I loved the lower capacity. all the guests I encountered were very friendly. No need for a swim up bar, they will bring the drinks and food to you in the pool. My first time at an all inclusive, I'll be back! Book it you will not be disappointed I did not use the spa my friend did and he loved it.

It’s difficult to give a full review, as the resort is not fully staffed and unable to give 100% of the experience that would typically happen. We were blessed and very grateful to be able to visit during the global pandemic, so small “glitches” are easily dismissed. Our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was very cold! We spent a lot of time at the Tiki Bar and our favorite employees of the resort were the bartenders there, Miguel and Manuel.
Food at the resort was good but our favorite food was La Casona STK with Mauricio as our waiter, and the snack bar at the pool (buffalo wings and white chicken pizza). Room service was pretty quick but orders were mixed up or things were forgotten (again, I’m sure they were running on a small staff). The feel of the resort was very authentic, in contrast to the very sleek and modern look of Garza Blanca being built next door. Besides the mentioned employees, our best experiences came from meeting tons of people and families from all over the US. People were genuinely nice and everyone seemed grateful to be able to travel.
We will return with our family in the near future.

I was grateful to see how seriously the resort was taking health and safety, everything was very well thought out. Though I missed the regular activities, I could not complain for the relaxing and peaceful stay that I had. Thank you always for making my trip so memorable! I would like to give a BIG thank you to the following staff who provided Excellent service: Gilberto, the best bell boy, very attentive and very helpful; Moises, the best staff by the pool; Carlos from the housekeeping, Adrian and Alberto from the Spa, Uriel and Luis from the entertainment team.

What a cool place..I have stayed here 5 times and Id have to say its exciting every time. The buffet is awesome and so are the rest of the restaurants. The pools are magnificent. You can literally spend the whole day here and have a blast. Its not the hotel zone which I like. A short walk to the V & V marina as well where you can take a short ferry ride to Isla Mujeres for the day too. We go fishing from the marina and the fishing is spectacular!

The best experience I've had in a long time! Loved almost everything from our stay there. One word of caution, do place the "do not disturb" sign always. And when you see housekeeping during the day, let them know you're taking a nap or putting your child to sleep. I've had them knock at my door (WITH the do not disturb sign on my door) twice! That part I just couldn't understand. And disconnect your phone when you put your kids to sleep! They kept calling us after 10 and 10:45pm to check if housekeeping did a good job or if we got the refills we requested early in the morning!

I recently spent 6 days at the resort with some friends & we had a great time. The staff were very attentive & friendly from the moment of our arrival, throughout our stay. The room was very nice & clean & cleaned daily. The pools & beach area were great places to lay out, relax & enjoy the scenery & weather. The food was very good at all of the restaurants that we tried for breakfast, lunch & dinner. If you enjoy cocktails, there are plenty of bars to get your drink. I highly recommend the outdoor bar at La Casona Steakhouse. Manuel & Miguel were Very Good! They are polite, friendly & knowledgeable on any type of drink you would like. The resort is not near the more popular hotel zone so it is a bit more of a quiet atmosphere. If you are looking for nightlife, all of the bars are closed by 12am. We didn't mind the quiet atmosphere as were there to relax. I look forward to visiting again.

Enjoyed our stay here... Goal was to get away from it all and enjoy a few warm, sunny days during the Northeast winter season. Mission accomplished! Great hotel; no major issues and the all-inclusive package made things easy. My recommendation would be to hang out poolside; you'll get constant attention from the staff! Plus, the beach water is loaded with seaweed...I felt like there were constantly creepy crawlies around my legs so did not go back in the sea after the first time! Cleanliness around the resort could be improved, but I am applying the "Disney" standard here as I am just not used to trash, dirty plates and glasses hanging around for too long after folks are done with them. Our daughter was celebrating a birthday during our time here, and the staff took time to decorate the room with balloons and provided a small cake for her as well, which was a nice surprise! This is a nice place to go to if you want to go to Cancun and be left alone...i.e., it is away from the hotel zone and therefore, the shopping and entertainment options are limited, but if that's what you want, you're better off staying in the hotel zone! Note: we were asked about the timeshare presentation once right after check out, but after we politely declined, we were not asked again during the remainder of our stay.

First off, I highly recommend the all-inclusive deal. It is a huge advantage, especially if going with a large family. There are many offers for food and I went with a group of 30 people. There are good restaurants and a nice beach with beautiful, white sand. Although the sun sets early at about 6:00, there is a lot to do during the day, so just wake up earlier. No nightlife and the location wasnt so good, but it was a great trip because I went with a large group of people.

The only note is there were not too much to do with little kid. Although they have really nice warm kids pool and kids club. I wish the kid's zone be more elaborated than just one swimming pool. Nevertheless, our stay was amazing and I highly recommend this place. PS: the beach was really good!

Absolutely the most fantastic resort! The staff are all so welcoming and kind, treating you like a member of their family and making sure all your needs are met. Our rooms were tidied while we were out and the fridges restocked with drinks. If we needed a hot chocolate at midnight it was there in a jiffy! When my fianc wasnt feeling well most of the waiters at the snack bar/lunch restaurant checked on him and made sure he was okay. Our concierge Patti was SO SWEET and made our stay so special and lovely! If you want to relax in Cancun then Villa del Palmar is the best place to be! Youll be treated like royalty and your worries will be long behind you. The ocean views, the grounds, the beach, the rooms, everything was magical! (Please dont get me started on the food- absolutely gourmet and quality-focused!) My family was treated so well and I am so grateful for such a lovely stay!

"Surprise Surprise Surprise"

Fabulous vacation! I was concerned that being away from the Hotel Zone that we would have have a feeling of being isolated. This was not the case! Our room was spacious and had a great view of the property, the ocean and its white sand beaches. Almost impossible to have a bad view. Lots of dining options and plenty of pool side activities. Unlike other resorts you didn't have to worry about getting up at 6 am to get a seat by the pool. Anytime we went down to the pool we had a place to sit. Ocotllio and his crew were constantly moving umbrellas to follow the sun and keep you covered/cleaning sunglasses/bringing clean dry towel after you got out of the pool. Alejandro was awesome. What ever we needed he was there. I never knew what I wanted to drink so he would just bring me surprises...no two were a like. The choice in food/restaurants were many. This was our first time doing an all inclusive package...and we elected to do 5 days. My only criticism is that once you did the breakfast buffet you were done. Nothing seemed to change from day to day...they could mix it up a bit or add another breakfast location. Everyone was friendly and no one was crabby. Our room was cleaned and restocked two times daily...which was awesome...always clean dry towels! There was evening turn down service with chocolates. Can you say Sweet Dreams!

Our family of 7 just returned from a 4 day stay. We had a wonderful time. The rooms are gorgeous. The pools were beautiful and not at all crowded. The beach was nice. The food and restaurants were amazing. The staff were also great. We can't wait to return!!

Wow! What a lovely place to Spend your vacation. It's really worth spending money on this resort. Such a neat and spacious rooms, delicious food, excellent service. Don't know where to begin with, all in one sentence is , its a dream vacation resort. I loved it, my family really enjoyed it. They treat us like royalty. I am totally spoiled. I would specially like to mention about Emanuel, in the front Desk.Very helpful and cooperative person. Everyone was very nice, friendly and helpful. Like I said they really spoiled me. The food's were really delicious, grilled chicken in Zama, chicken kebab in Davino, breakfast buffet in Capricho, and lots of delicious snacks, to choose from, from the snack Bar. Loved their green juice as well.And yes, the room service, excellent people who were serving. Its every Penny worth vacation. Would love to go back again and again. Those people who are complaining, are lying, they don't give you any chance to complaint about anything. Their service is excellent. Just don't drink the tab water, other then that, everything is superb. I will definitely rate it 5 Star Resort :)

Amazing trip to Cancn. The resort looked amazing, rooms were 5 star and always clean. Restaurants had amazing food from the STK to Devino. Bartenders made the drinks to order and didn't skip on the alcohol. Also, thanks to Janette Baez Mota and Robert Sanchez for organizing volleyball and soccer. Me, @[1106310262:Anthony Tone Ingrassia],@[539275106:Shauna Allen] had a great time.

Wonderful resort. Amazing food. Very family friendly. Great service. I can not say enough good things. We just got home after spending the week there with our 16 month old. She loved the kiddie pool! We loved the drinks and the people. The spa was beautiful. We cant wait to check out the other locations that the Villa del Palmer has to offer.

For me it was a last minute reservation through the hotel when I got there I didn't have a room but the receptionist was very caring he made sure that I get a room and even upgrade my room from a garden view to a ocean view and the next day the problem was solved and I still get to keep my room

Been here 4 times. Property maintenance is declining from 5 star. Grounds are just being refreshed. Decking around family pool needs staining. Beach tables are bowing. Hammocks were old when here in September 2015 but now March 2016 it appears most have been replaced. Wifi is spotty and expensive. All inclusive fee I paid of $1640 and a booking fee of $295 should give me free wifi. Staff us exceptionally friendly and provide great service. They need to expand menu choices.
