Bathroom smelled like sewage leak. Took three days to move me to a different room. Linens, bedding, towels need to be laundered better, or replaced. The grounds are charming, but need attention.

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 Everything in the room feels old and outdated, and there was a constant humming or buzzing noise that made it difficult to relax or sleep.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.

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.

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.

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.
