I had horrible experience at Villa Blanca early April 2005 and recommend no one stay there unless they are truly desperate for a room in Cozumel because I believe you will regret making this selection. Besides dirty stained towels, dirty pool, dreary facade and room décor with outdoor fixtures and window-unit air conditioners mounted in walls too high to control even on/off, there is no hotel excitement whatsoever, no bands at bar, no people at bar, no water pressure, and very unhelpful staff (just try to get more than the two towels they stock the room with and you will start trouble with their one bellboy). To top it all off, hotel staff stole properties of value right out of our luggage, not to mention I was asked to pay for some supposed crack in a table which did not result from our stay. I admit that since my watches and some money were stolen, I truly hate this place, but regardless there is nothing nice or attractive about this hotel and the pictures on the internet are just exaggerations. I have not had a worse experience in 30 years of travel than with this dump. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel if you prize your personal possessions and the amenities you wish to surround yourself. Look elsewhere like Fiesta Americana or Casa Del Mar.

We had reservations at a much more expensive hotel and 2 days before departure we are told that they overbooked and Villablanca is the only hotel on the island that can take us. The reviews of this hotel made me very cautious but I must say that they went out of their way to make us happy.
The first night there they put us in a room that they do not normally use, but it was the only one that they had open. The next morning they called and told me that they were moving us to the Penthouse. It is very big and has a beautiful view.
There is a small grill on the grounds ,good food but nothing fancy. Across the street is a small place with excelent food. I wish we had eaten there earlier. We never waited more than 1 min. for a taxi.
If we had stayed on a big resort we would not have left the resort very much and I am glad that we stayed here. It is centeraly located but not in too busy of a area.
This is not a expensive hotel and it is not perfect but there is nothing to complain about. The photo's do not show how beautiful the grounds are and the pool looks small in the pictures but it is not.
This place is a good deal and we would go back and probably will.

Ok, first you have to remember that you are in a different country and once you get this in your head the Villa Blanca will be the top choice place to stay. It was close enough to town and far enough out of the way from the cruisers. The rooms clean with excellent maid service. Cute towel animals everyday! The staff will help you rent a scooter for a good price. It's the only way to get around the island! The breakfast at the hotel was good and on an even par with prices in town. The hotel sourroundings are beautiful and it was nice to just poke around in the gardens. The beach area across the street is private with good snorkeling. Watch for boat traffic! The rocks were a little tough on the feet getting into the water. I will stay at this hotel again and not consider any other place due to location. Try the nachos next door at Papa Hogs, they are the best on the island. Be sure to go to the other side of the island for some real solitude and the most beautiful beaches ever.

Villa Blanca is super clean and very quiet. The batrooms were large and the hot water plentiful. The only bad thing I can say about this hotel is about the mattresses. You could feel the springs, not due to worn out matresses but maybe this is the best you can get in Mexico? Anyways you are too tired to really care. Be sure to stay in the superior room. It is worth the small upgrade price. It has a sitting room with a day bed with pillows for some serious lounging.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! It was a great honeymoon!

We love Cozumel and have stayed at several very nice resorts on the island. We booked a last -minute trip in August and spent five days at the Villablanca. The location is good, especially if you like snorkeling, as there is great snorkeling right across the street off the Villablanca Reef. I found the pool area to be very small and kind of sub-par, especially when compared with other "3 star" rated resorts we have stayed at on the island. For example, El Cozumeleno, the Coral Princess, and The Reef Club are usually rated three star and have WAY more amenities---beautiful pool areas, multiple restaurants and bars, etc...The pool at the VB was not sparkling clean, and seemed a bit murky. The rooms were adequate; we had a jr. suite, which was larger than a standard room. The desk clerks and maids were friendly; rooms were clean, and air-conditioning was adequate.
