6. Beach

The beach at Garza Blanca Cancun is beautiful, and it’s not too crowded.

The soft sand is perfect for a romantic sunset walk.

And there are plenty of lounge chairs where you can sit and relax while you watch the world go by.

Like many beaches in this area, there are sometimes problems with seaweed.

But, the resort team works hard to keep the beach clean, and the resort’s heated outdoor pools are a perfect alternative if the seaweed is ever too bad to spend time on the beach.

7. Food & Drink

If you love good food, you’ll adore the gourmet dining experiences at Garza Blanca Cancun.

The surroundings are luxurious, and the dishes are international and divine.

You have the choice of three gourmet restaurants at the resort as well as the option to dine at Villa del Palmar Cancun’s four Gourmet Restaurants.

Worried that there won’t be enough activities to keep you and your wedding guests entertained outside of your celebrations?

This isn’t a problem at Garza Blanca Cancun.

There’s an array of activities to suit all ages and tastes.

Is there anything to do outside of Garza Blanca Cancun?

As you would expect from a new 5★ resort, there’s always something to do at Garza Blanca Cancun.

But I’d still recommend that you spend some time outside the resort.

This is a stunning part of the world, and you should see as much of it as you can.

We’ll make life easier by arranging tours and activities for you and your wedding party.

One activity that I always recommend to people staying in Cancun is the Chichen Itza Tour.

You get to visit the magical archaeological ruin and take a guided tour.

Plus, there’s an opportunity to swim in a freshwater cenote.

What’s not love ❤?

Here’s a quick tip when you’re organizing activities for your wedding guests, don’t be too demanding.

People will probably want to spend some time doing their own thing.

So they may not appreciate a rigid schedule.

This is one of the mistakes I highlight in my blog post that you may want to read.

9. What Brides and Grooms Said

We had our wedding at the Garza Cancun last week, and I have to say that it was absolutely incredible. Everything that was planned and promised by the Garza team was delivered, and in every instance, our expectations were exceeded. We cannot thank the staff enough. Specifically, Gabby (group/event manager) and her team were top-notch… they took care of every single request that my wife and I had and made our wedding weekend one to remember.

I got married last week at the Garza Blanca, and it was beyond my expectations! So many little touches to make our 5 night stay extra special. We had 65 guests, and everyone says it was the best wedding ever…Thank you so much to everyone at the Garza Blanca Cancun for helping with our perfect dream wedding!!

Krista M

I had my wedding last month; it was such a beautiful event; the setup, design, dinner, and service were very well organized by my wedding coordinator (Gaby Uribe), it all felt like a dream. The resort has such gorgeous architecture and interior design. It has high-tech amenities, and is fancy, upscale, clean, and well-maintained.

10. Why We Like It (Pros/Cons)

Our team of wedding experts loves bringing wedding dreams to life.

So, we only recommend resorts and experiences that we know will deliver.

In the case of Garza Blanca, we especially love:

• Newly opened luxury resort, so everything is pristine.
• Room-only and all-inclusive options are available.
• Stunning beach wedding venue.
• Adults-only Rooftop space with incredible views.

Keeping it real, the beach does suffer from a seaweed problem on occasion, but the resort team works hard to keep it clean, and the heated pools and other resort activities provide an excellent alternative if the seaweed is ever really bad.
