Villablanca Garden Beach Hotel

We love the price and the location.

Hot tub needs to be fixed.

The superior room was very spacious and there was an excellent place to charge batteries between the bed and sofa. Also the bathroom was spacious and there were organic shampoo etc. I also liked the fact that it was possible to refill water bottles. It is OK value if you will not stay above the restaurant in a noisy evening.

I did not like the noise from the restaurant. I stayed 5 nights in a superior room, basically above the restaurant, and most of them the evenings was so noisy that it wasn't possible to stay in the room and not to talk about enjoying the sea view from the balcony. The restaurant was also disappointment. The best thing is the nice garden around it. Luckily there was better tasting coffee and service next door.

The property is located in a convenient location. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is good value for money. The rooms are very large, a little bit dated, but it’s a nice setting overall.

We didn’t like that we had to leave what a holiday was finished.

Centrally located and quaint. Could be a lot better. Seems there is no one checking things out. Clean

Looks unattended and no wifi. They said because there had been a storm but nothing. No wifi. Disappointing and frustrating. The people at the bar, pretty loud. Good thing they closed early

Extremely clean room, comfortable bed, hot showers, great staff, friendly. Good price point. Restaurant food was excellent!

Housekeeping did the dishes but would have liked some cloths and dish soap to clean up myself. However, I did not request any. 🙂

Ocean view

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!

The location was good; it was close to the beach and many restaurants. The hotel staff was excellent. The rooms were spotless. We also enjoyed the food and staff at the pool restaurant.

The beds were very uncomfortable, making getting a good night's rest difficult.
