“Two Weeks of Relaxation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We have just returned from our two weeks at VillaBlanca from 12/16 to 12/30/2011. We simply love this hotel. We booked a superior room directly via email with VillaBlanca.net. (They have a very nice website) I always book directly with them. Our stay included breakfast everyday---awesome! And, also four dinners. Very good with the extra treat of a special Noche Buena/Christmas Eve turkey dinner! The best turkey I have ever eaten----really!! We have stayed here previously several times and are always very pleased with our stays at this hotel. The friendly staff, relaxing and beautiful pool and gardens, the very clean rooms----the towel art is a treat, the guests from various parts of the world all help to make this a favorite of ours. We have been traveling to Cozumel and the Yucatan since 1986. The location is great and my husband snorkeled most every day right across the street. His advice is to take your time and you will be amazed at what you see underwater. Tons of angel fish, spotted eagle rays, and on and on. We didn't even rent a car this visit. The location is ideal for walking or short cab rides. We returned home relaxed, refreshed, and still in love with VillaBlanca and Cozumel.

Room Tip: Superior rooms are our worth the extra money. Also, when booking directly, you may ask for your pre...

Villa Blanca is a great little hotel, short walk into town, close to dive shops, very friendly staff and very well priced. We loved our stay!

“A nice place away from downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I spent a week at the Villablanca in March of 2010, and will be back again later this winter (2012). I had booked a one-week dive package, and was favorably impressed with both the hotel and the diving off of Cozumel (the Palancar dive sites especially). The Superior room I had was spacious and clean, although the interior space could have been used somewhat better .... but no real complain there. The fridge and small outdoor balcony were great to have, and the pool outside was enjoyable on some of the hot days during my stay. While a bit of a hike from the downtown area, there are 3 restaurants within 100 yards of the hotel, so finding a meal was not a problem. The Hog Town Cafe has a very good breakfast, and others meals I had there were also quite good. The staff and service at the Villablanca were excellent, and I had no hestitation booking in a week there again this winter.

Room Tip: There is a pedestrian speed bump right beside the hotel, which means you get to hear the vehicles ge...

“Honeymoon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

person found this review helpful

The hotel was not 5 Star, but it was clean and when we informed the office about the shower water not getting warm they came and fixed it immediately. The office staff was super helpful and friendly as were the restaurant staff. The food was outstanding, especially breakfast. The location was far enough from the downtown area that we didn't have to deal with a bunch of tourists which was important to us, but was short enough that the cab ride was around $5.00. But we preferred to go in the opposite direction to the great beach bars like the Bob Marley. We didn't even go downtown until our last day. We chose to explore the beautiful island on scooter, which the hotel arranged for us. We would definately stay there again.

“Nice surprise in Cozumel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I booked last minute so that I could support a friend doing the Ironman, and was very pleasantly surprised at the reasonable rate, clean and comfy accommodations. My room was detailed in an Egyptian motif which was so unexpected that it made me giggle when I walked in, but I enjoyed my stay enough to extend it by a night, in the same room. Located just outside town so it was not hectic, quiet at night, and had a good breakfast next door. Was a great spot from which to view the bike portion of the Ironman, so overall very happy with this hotel! The hotel is directly across the street from the water, and access to diving and snorkling and fishing....

Room Tip: My room was not in the newer building, but towards the back, with gauzy drapes out front and a littl...
