ホテル ヴィラ ラス アンクラス(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!

This was our third time going to Cozumel and staying on the island. I have lost count on how many times we have gotten off a cruise ship for the day there. In saying that we have done the all inclusive scene and stayed downtown one other time. Villa Las Anclas is our new and forever go to from here on out. It's a small paradise behind a gate. Beautiful grounds,rooms,and people. Wonderful restaurants right on the corner. Walk to everything. You won't be disappointed!

If you like to be in town close to the water and yet still feel like you’re “off the beaten path” then Villa Las Anclas is for you. This hotel consists of 7 or 8 spacious suites appointed with small kitchens and separate sitting, dining and upstairs sleeping areas. There’s even an outside gathering area with gas and charcoal grills and a Blackstone griddle. I’ve stayed several places in downtown San Miguel de Cozumel and this will be my new go to. Nigel small pool, with area for divers to rinse off as well as a staffed front desk that has coffee ready every morning and a well-stocked lending library. Shopping, dining, drinking, diving, etc is all within a short walking distance. Also, all the fellow guest I met at Villa Las Anclas were long-time return guests which speaks volumes…

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.

This hotel is very clean and the staff is very nice and friendly. I just have good things to say about it. This will now be our home away from home 😊. And of course, as a bonus, there is the friendly dog Otto☺️

This hotel was fantastic. It's close to the center (and a million restaurants) and an easy walk from the ferry pier. There's a stunningly lush, calm garden path to the suites with a clean plunge pool at the end. Rosie, at the front desk, is extremely kind and accommodating. The actual suite was very nice - kitchenette was clean and had sufficient kitchenware; the shower had an openable window; and the couch was comfy despite it having a concrete base. We stayed in the unit pictured in the photos, and did find the dining room table area to be dark during the day. We moved it to the living room area on the days we worked from the hotel and that worked out fine. The wifi was excellent. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely stay here again. However, I would not recommend this to anyone who has trouble with stairs or needs a railing.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean, and the location is walkable to every part of town but just a block or two off the main area so it is more quiet. I would stay here again.

Very great location near the square, very clean, helpful staff. The units have most everything you need. We loved the private pool with built in waterfall. The kitchen was equipped with all the needed utensils, dishes, glasses and silverware for your convivence. We stayed a few days and would love to spend more time there in the future.

This will be our stay any time we come to Cozumel!This place was so unique with the cool spiral staircase, loft style bedroom, stained glass, great outdoor kitchen, and so bright and spacious. The staff is very helpful (young man found me a bottle opener one night), organized our day trips with reliable cab rides, and made sure we had things we may have forgotten. We added an extra night here even though we already had reservations elsewhere. Great neighborhood and close by just 2 blocks to the main square and great restaurants all around us. We loved this place ❤️
