What to do
Practice your paddle board skills or snorkel among tropical fish on the Garza Blanca Beach. Nature lovers will love the guided hiking trips and bird watching tours in the surrounding jungle. You can expect to see parakeets, macaws, woodpeckers, and white herons and learn how to distinguish them by their songs and chirping.
While you spend some time lounging by the pool, have your kids make their own special memories at the Kids Club. They’ll have such a blast painting rocks, participating in mini Olympics, making paper flowers, and building sandcastles at the beach.
The natural beauty of the surrounding jungle is the perfect backdrop for some meditative yoga. Connect with your inner zen and take a yoga class with an expert instructor. You’ll feel both relaxed and recharged at the same time!
What to eat
During your stay, you’ll have the option to eat and drink at three gourmet restaurants on-site.
Experience a blend of fine dining and authentic Mexican food at Blanca Blue. Sample innovative Mexican dishes while admiring panoramic views of the shimmering Pacific Ocean.
For an elegant dinner experience, the Bocados Steakhouse is a must-visit. Tender steaks, buttery mussels, and decadent desserts are paired with the finest wines for an unforgettable evening.
The Aquazul Beach Bar & Lounge takes all of the classic poolside snacks and plates and cranks them up a notch – putting a sophisticated twist on widely loved favorites like burgers, pizzas, salad, and ceviche. Pair one of those with a fruity cocktail by the pool and it’s just *chef’s kiss*.
