Wow, our stay at El Ganzo was amazing. The property is beautiful, the art, decor and views are even better in person. They have everything you need on site, including some of the best food I’ve had in Mexico. Highlights include the incredible food at the pool and the restaurant. Great easy beach access with shady loungers and a swimmable beach. The service at the pool was also great, shout out to Montserrat she was exceptional. Staying over in San Jose is a slower more vibey area and we look forward to our return trip!!

The hotel and staff were wonderful. The beds are comfortable. The rooftop pool was fantastic and the views were wonderful. The beach club was exceptional with one of the only swimmable beaches around. The area surrounding the hotel was very poor and not what you would expect for a hotel of this caliber. Things you should be aware of are: the food was only OK and very expensive, the drinks were expensive, the hotel puts a large hold on your credit card for potential damages you make to your room and look at all of your receipts to make sure that only your food and drink charges are placed on your room. Space if you want a good Ross breakfast for a reasonable price, go across the street to George’s restaurant.
