The Villa Blanca Gardens is my three-star go to in Cozumel, and I have been there many times. It is away from the hustle and bustle and overcrowding of downtown when cruise ships come in and is generally unaffected by boat tourism. Many folks stay here for the dive, snorkeling and other activities that are available just across the street in front of the facility. One of the best parts is the beautiful garden that is the center of the surrounding rooms. Some good dining opportunities are within walking distance and the on-site Stingray bar & grill is ok for drinks and a quick bite. However, it is too far to walk to the main shopping areas down town, but it is closer than the all-inclusives further south along the West Coast. A great place to truly relax. I call the Via Blanca "my garden Villa get away' that helps me reset mind and body from my busy life back home. If you didn't want/need the all you can eat and drink crowded scene of the all inclusives, the VB is a good budget option.

This property was a nice place to stay. I stayed here once before In 2001 and it has grown a lot since then. It has a nice swimming pool and is across the road from the beach where are you can snorkel or book scuba diving in trips. The property offers free Wi-Fi and cable TV in Spanish.

Older property that has been well cared for. Quiet and peaceful, friendly staff, and beautiful landscaped areas. The restaurant is currently closed but they have coffee, tea and water out for the guests every morning. We really enjoyed this older hotel!

We stayed 11 nights. The rooms are clean and have a frig.It's an older property but the pretty grounds and swimming pool are well taken care of. Staff are friendly and helpful. Their is no resteraunt on site but coffee and tea are provided starting at 8am. It is a long walk into town, at least 30 minutes, we rented a car and were glad! Next door is a small cafe/ bar that serves breakfast- coffee, scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast for $5 total.

We've stayed here many times. The facilities have not been updated in 20 years. Our air-conditioning unit stopped working 3 times although the staff were prompt in fixing it. Nora at the desk was friendly and helpful but the facility is dated and uncomfortable. We moved to another place after 2 nights.We primarily chose it for its convenient location for scuba diving. But we will not be staying there again.

Buyer beware. This place is dank and creepy. I’m sure it was once charming, and the grounds are expansive. It could be lovely again with repairs and attention. I was put in a room in the rear of the property near a driveway with open access to the street. The room had a door connecting to the adjacent room, and the only other entry/exit was a sliding glass door with a teeny tiny lock. Not secure at all. And no working telephone in the room. The pavement and concrete is very uneven and I fell and injured myself leaving the property. I did not stay overnight because I was able to find a much safer hotel with much better vibes down the road. I came back to collect my luggage once it was daylight. I was willing to take the financial loss for my safety and hoped they’d be decent and refund the remainder of my stay when I checked out at noon. Buyer beware. They refused even a partial refund.

Villablanca Needs TLC

Arrived last ferry from Cancun, so hot & tired in the dark, dragging our luggage. Booked for 1 night last min change in plans. The place has potential to be lovely. I rent Airbnb props at home. Upon arrival, the place had a musty smell. Air-con was on, but frig was unplugged. The white plastic shower curtain in the bathroom was partially attached. I didn't dare take a shower if the presentation wasn't nice. The decor is from the 70's. I don't think they've replaced or modernized the bedding, bedspread, pillows or linens. Couldn't sleep due to lumpy, stinky pillows & grayish sheets. When I pulled the smelly orange bedspread off, I noticed mold patches. The toilets you had to hold the handle down for a full flush. The patio door lock was rusted closed so you couldn't enjoy the patio seating to enjoy the garden. They provided 2 bottled waters which was good for brushing teeth. Next day, I found the coffee, powdered cream, sugar, clean ceramic cup, & a plastic spoon under the covered patio outside by the closed restaurant. But no other amenities. The pool & jacuzzi were nice, but the lawn chair cushions were weathered. No pics to s. When you have the Carribean sea as your backyard, tourists coming in want that vibe of relax, unwind, breathe fresh air & desire beautiful things to look at. Unfortunately, we didn't get that environment at Villablanca. A few modern upgrades, de-cluttering & deep clean would be beneficial. Jara on the checkout was helpful & gave us good tips.

The Villa Blanca Gardens is my go to for a short getaway, having stayed there 6 times in the last 4-5 years. It has a beautiful landscape, is across the street from the beach and two dive/excurson piers. Very diver friendly, with dive trips leaving from piers across the street. It has a pool, but no Waterpark, so not as noisy as many of the all inclusive resorts. The current on-site restaurant/bar (Stingrays) is pretty good and not overly expensive on paper, but they give you a poor exchange rate on the dollar. Restuarant/bar staff are friendly and helpful. Stingrays is small as is the Via Blanca generally; thus, there are not a lot of hard core drinkers hanging out there, and I have never seen a person unduly inebriated at the facility. There are four other really good restaurants within walking distance as well. It is an older 3 star facility in Mexico, so don't expect new cushy chairs, but the rooms have a nice Mexican/Caribbean atmosphere, comfortable beds, good AC, and many have a partial view of the ocean. The penthouse has a panoramic view of the ocean from a very large private terrace. If you want a chill out place to stay, avoiding the 'all you can eat buffets' with marginal food, then the Via Blanca Gardens is a great budget wise place to stay! Thus, leaving you money to explore better food and varieties of outdoor activities on sea and land on your own, and there is plenty of them! I recommend the Villa Blanca Gardens, and look forward to a return visit myself!

Two of us were in Cozumel to scuba dive and have been to Cozumel before but have not stayed at Villa Blanca. The hotel was nice, clean, fine in every way but doesn’t really cater to divers. The pier across the street can be used by dive shops to pick you up with no charge, which is great. However, the restaurant is run separately from the hotel did not open on time, says 7am, but no one was there until 7:20, and we had a boat to catch, so after that, we bought breakfast in the groc store and ate it in the room. We are also disappointed that the hotel didn’t provide drinking water dispensers like many dive resorts do, so we had to buy a lot of plastic bottles. We bring our own water bottles, hoping to fill them up and not add to the plastic waste on the island. There is no outdoor shower to rinse off before going to the room, even tho they do have a pool. And finally a big rinse tank for our equipment would have been great, but we had to do this in the shower. If you are not a diver, this place is fine, but divers beware.
