The Restaurant at Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa

"The waterside tables on the terrace at Blanca Blue restaurant are in high demand, and the menu—which might include beet sorbet, shrimp wrapped in prosciutto, duck with foie gras, and amazing truffled poached eggs at breakfast—rivals any on the Puerto Vallarta's gourmet dining scene"

"There are three pools (two near the beach and one up the hillside), three restaurants (an all-inclusive package is optional and reservations are required), and a pretty cove with great snorkeling"

"The rest of the Garza Blanca property is an adult playground (though kids are perfectly happy splashing around in the infinity pool): the Hamara Spa has water therapy and relaxation rooms, the hotel’s private beach bar offers happy-hour deals, and the superb restaurant, Bianca Blue, is known among locals as one of the best in the city for its seafood dishes and extensive wine cellar"

"Relaxing within earshot of the surf, lazing in a hammock, and sipping fine wine in the restaurant are the high points here"

"The Blanca Blue restaurant serves such dishes as roast rack of lamb over polenta with lima bean, fennel and mint salad; it also has some 2,300 bottles of wine to choose from"
