Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa was commended alongside only 3 other beaches in Puerto Vallarta by the Mexican Institute of Standardization and Certification (IMNC) for the cleanliness of its beach.

On Wednesday October 9, 2013, Garza Blanca Preserve received certification in accordance with the specifications set out in the norm: NMX-AA-120-SCFI-2006 that assesses the quality of Mexico’s beaches based on safety, cleanness, waste water disposal, environmental impact and health risks. The Mayor of Puerto Vallarta, Ramón Guerrero Martínez alongside other VIPs and government officials attended the ceremony to mark the presentation of the certification which only 4 beaches in Puerto Vallarta will receive.

Certification is granted by the Mexican Institute of Standardization and Certification (IMNC) following strict assessments of the beaches and is in accordance with Mexican legislation as a means of ensuring the high standards of Mexico’s beaches. Officials visit the beaches periodically to assess their cleanliness, taking samples of seawater and checking for the presence of cigarette butts, glass, polystyrene etc.

Graza Blanca also received a certificate for its active part in ensuring the health and safety of its beach as staff members were led by a biologist who was invited to lead a training program to guide staff through the requirements of what it takes to maintain a beach in spotless conditions.

Garza Blanca Residence Club members will be pleased to know they have invested in a brand that takes excellence and quality seriously so that guests can simply enjoy nature as it was intended to be – impeccable!
