This property is a traditional older hotel. It is well maintained and reasonably clean and priced right. If you’re looking for a quiet, no frills vacation, this place foots the bill.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. They could use more drying surfaces, maybe a retractable or stationary bar for wet items, but the room was spacious.
This is a nice outdoorsy property. Very clean. It's for people who know Cozumel and don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation but just want a nice clean, quiet comfortable place to stay with a nice pool and walking distance to activities and food. Half-sized fridges or larger in each room with modern TV.
Very quiet resort with a very spacious and comfortable room. Always felt safe when enjoying the property at night or walking to somewhere else downtown. Cabs are always driving by and you can take one downtown for $8. The staff was friendly and tentative. The only downside would be that it’s not directly on a beach. That being said the beach is right across the street. Very easily accessible. Can’t wait to stay here again!

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.

Room was nice, roomy, good a/c. Comfy bed. Large bathroom - we had a superior ocean view room.
The restaurant and bar were closed; however, we were within easy walking distance of other eating establishments.
Large clean pool with plenty of chairs.
No coffee maker in room; however, fresh coffee was available by the pool area each day. There was a mini-refrigerator in our room.

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.

Good location. Bizarre 2ft shower pit.
Located 30 min walk from town. Best to rent a car. It is quiet. Nice location just across the street from the beach. Nice mature landscaping. Older building in decent shape. No safe in the room so we had to store our valuables in the lobby lockers for a fee. Also if you needed a beach or pool towel you had to rent them from the hotel. Be very careful in the bathroom not to fall in the awkward 2 ft deep pit for the shower, it is literally a hole in the ground, very bizarre. Really bad smell in the bathroom coming from most likely shower drainage pipes. If you left the door open it would smell up the whole room but if you kept the door shut it would solve the smell problem. So you must keep the door closed or the room will smell from the bathroom drainage pipes. Didn’t drink the shower water but the shower water has a slight salt taste to it. Probably coming from the water source the government provides and the water pipes most likely have a crack/s allowing ocean water to seep in. It’s Mexico so you never drink the tap water. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Property seemed rundown. No restaurant on property. Landscaping was shaggy
However staff was friendly and helpful and polite. Our room was very clean.
I love the property due to the fact that it’s nestled in amongst beautiful palm trees and they have a lovely cooling pool too. The rooms are very spacious which is great when sharing a room with someone else.
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.

I like everything except the flimsy chairs on the small patio
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!
Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend
The only positive aspect of this hotel is that the room is spacious. Unfortunately, aside from its size, the hotel offers nothing of value.
Everything in the room feels old and outdated, and there was a constant humming or buzzing noise that made it difficult to relax or sleep. The overall condition of the room did not meet reasonable expectations.
Despite booking and fully paying for a reservation with breakfast included, the hotel did not provide breakfast at all. There was no breakfast service on-site. Instead, we were redirected to a neighboring restaurant. Our refund request for breakfast is declined too. When we asked for other recommendations, we were again directed to the same restaurant, which felt dismissive and unhelpful.
Additionally, only one bottle of water was provided on the first day. After that, we were told we could refill water at the reception, which was claimed to be open 24 hours. However, in the evenings, the reception was consistently closed, making this option unavailable.
Overall, the hotel failed to deliver basic services that were promised at the time of booking. The service quality was poor, communication was lacking, and the experience was disappointing. I would not stay here again.
