because I got a $46US/night rate, tax and breakfast included. I was in a "standard" room for 3 days, during which I had absolutely no hot water (hell, no warm, even), and was told each afternoon after returning from diving that the problem had been fixed when it had not. They then moved me to a "suite" (actually just a large room) that did have hot water. The cost of those rooms is probably double their real value, and the entire property needs major renovation. If you stay there and get the free breakfast chits. use them at Temptations across the street, which serves earlier and has a better breakfast.
I will not stay there again. This was my 38th trip and my first stay @ VB, although I had checked it out about 7-8 years ago. I thought it would have improved in that time span, but no such luck. There are MANY, MANY accomodations for the same price or less that are a better value.
But, hey, it's only a room and can't really detract much from the great fun you'll have in Cozumel anyway. Taxi fare is 35 pesos into town.
