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 review is long overdue. We have stayed at Villa Las Anclas many times for a number of years and there is no doubt, it’s probably THE BEST in Cozumel. We have stayed at bigger, fancier places who honestly, do not compete. The staff and owner, Pam are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and exactly what we need. The beautiful courtyard has such a great, cozy vibe with a nice clean, refreshing pool. We can get to any restaurant or club, watch live music or just chill in the square in a few minutes walk from the hotel. We could not ask for a better home away from home. Thank you Pam for always making our stay so wonderful!!

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.

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!

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☺️
