Hotel Villas Las Anclas

Gem of a place just 2 streets from the ferry terminals yet calm and safe. Comfortable stay where you had almost everything you needed, with even the possibility to cook or bbq (in the outdoor common area) if you so wish. Very friendly and helpful staff with special thanks to the manager David. I only wished the aircon was quieter and the water in the pool warmer. All in all I had a great 7 nights there!

I like to lodge in town while exploring the diverse dining options in Cozumel. Its location and privacy are highlights for me. I've recommended it to friends, who have also found it to be their favorite Cozumel accommodation. Big thanks to their team for their warm hospitality, making guests feel right at home.

Initially, I hesitated to rate VLA 5 stars because I would not consider it a luxury hotel. The property is a bit old but well-maintained and attractive. Rooms are basic but clean and functional. We had a bit of an issue with tiny ants but I think you would find it difficult to find any place like this in Cozumel that did not. I also was put off initially by the booking process. All my communication was through What’s App and I was requested to make a deposit using PayPal to a personal account. I never received any booking confirmation by email. Not a typical reservation process but all was above board and check in was flawless. In the end, I rated five stars because of the value and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. David at the front desk made sure we were settled and had everything we needed. Drinking water? A five-gallon jug showed up in our room within the hour. Extra bed? Set up by check-in. Extra towels? Sure! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again as a cost-effective, comfortable alternative to the larger resorts.
