“Exceptional, all round!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

So many options when choosing accommodation on Cozumel-but after a lot of research we chose Villa Aldora due to the excellent information on their website, the great waterfront location and proximity to town, as well as the fact we were diving with Aldora Divers.
Manager Brent provided a truly outstanding service, including taking us grocery shopping on arrival, advising on local restaurants and often insisting on driving us there himself, and always ensuring we had everything we needed during our stay. We were truly spoiled! The rooms are huge, many with full kitchens, some with beautiful ocean views, all fully equipped with A/C, cable TV, wi-fi, phones etc. We found it to be exceptional value for money. We also enjoyed snorkeling in front of the property-spotting rays, pufferfish, trumpetfish, eels, and many other colourful reef fish and sponges. The Villa also provides bicycles, which made the 5 minute ride into town a breeze. Overall an exceptional property and service and I will definitely be returning. Aldora Divers were also excellent-again after extensive research they were the best option, and they far exceeded my expectations.

Room Tip: Ocean view, ground floor was perfect!

Lovely little villa right on the water. When I say right on the water, I mean "Right on the Water." Out the door and just a few steps down to the ocean. We listened to waves all night crashing at our door... no better way to sleep. Brent is the new manager and never was there a kinder more attentive man. When our wireless went-out (on the computer in Cozumel?? I know..) he had it up immediately. He took us to, from the airport and into town often. The town was a nice walk that most enjoyed but we took the short cab-ride most times as we were tired from diving. And Diving is the word. People at Aldora are all about diving... outstanding dive masters and, oh, such lovely waters. I suggest you stay at the charming Villa Aldora but not when we're planning to go.. there aren't many rooms and we want reservations.

“Another great stay at the Villa”

This was our third stay at Villa Aldora. We love it. Rooms are spacious, well equiped (kitchen facilties, wifi and lan, good phone system, comfortable beds) and well maintained. This is a dive hotel (linked with Aldora Divers, also the best on the island as far as we're concerned), so there aren't any "all inclusive" activities, but the managers (we've spent time with two) are always great, providing excellent service and accomodating of your needs. Divers are picked up at the hotel dock. Snorkling is very good (and gear is available from the hotel if you forget something). As other reviewers are indicating, it's like staying with family and friends.

Just spent a week at Villa Aldora and it was great. Brant (the manager) gave us first class service from the moment we arrived to when he drove us to the ferry at 5:30 AM on our way home.
Our group of 4 stayed in the Aldora Suite which was very comfortable and spacious. And it was so convenient that the Aldora dive boats would pick us up at the dock right behind the villa every day.
I wish I had another week there. I'll be going back.

“Excellent stay”

This was probably my best stay yet. While you will not be entertained or brought fruity adult beverages, this is an excellent choice for folks diving with Aldora.

Free Wifi, phone calls to/from the USA (and maybe Canada...verify), reported good snorkeling and nice rooms.

You do need to bring your own shampoo. I had three small containers in my carry-on and that was adequate.

It is quiet, relaxing and the other folks are fellow Aldora divers who are quality people.
