Great ambience and beautiful location on the water
We had a wonderful stay for three nights. The ambience was stunning. Location perfect with a great restaurant across the road. Staff were kind and helpful. Easy and fast check in. Great loungers at the water’s edge. The property is beautiful and well taken care of. Great pride shown in this amazing gem. I hope to be back. ❤️❤️
The photos they show are very altered, the conditions of the hotel are bad, the staff has no training to make you feel welcome, the breakfast is very poor, as well as the service is terrible... you never feel so welcome, we chose to leave early and lose a night. The pool is terrible... what a shame not to feel good and welcome.
Much better value for your pesos at other properties in area. Amal could be a fine property with some maintenance refresh.

Needs updating
The entire property needs repairs, renovations, etc.The bridge planks are broken in some places and nail heads are sticking out. It is dangerous to walk barefoot.
But breakfast was good fresh made eggs, omelette.
Very friendly people. They went above and beyond to take care of us. Pretty place. Very small and cozy hotel which we love. Breakfast was delicious. Conveniently Located. I highly recommend

Underwhelming
Access was tough. The entry way was through what seemes to bw the back. With no signage no directions. The room was modest but less than what i expected and paid for. It was off to the side of the main building. The "hotel" was more of a private home where rooms were rented as hotels rooms.
The room was big,beds OK.thats the good things. in the room no furnitures Like a table or chair.no frige.no safe.no Coffee machine.no chairs at the beach. Breakfast No fresh Milk,Toast,Butter or honey.the Service Girl unfriendly.
The bungalows is right in front of the laggon as stated on the description. The room is absolutely cozy and perfect. Breakfast is included and is cooked at the time you order, hot and very yummy! Lots of places near by, stores, food, bar, etc.. i highly recomend this place, totally a 5 star!!!!
I do wish that when they came in to clean to room, that the sheet were changed to new sheets. The bed was made, but they were the same sheets that we had used for two days already.
The property was beautiful and the lake front pier was unique.
The only inconvenience was the parking was a little tight but we still managed to find space and park.

Could do with a bit of work on dock and coffee pots in the rooms would be nice.
Free parking on site, but you have to ring the bell at the main gate. Staff was friendly, but spoke little English. The property is large. Our room had a (shared) walk-out balcony with view of trees and lake. Free breakfast was simple, but nice.
Location is only ~6 blocks to the fort and the main town square, which has lovely dining options. The square itself is alive with townsfolk in the evening. Feels more like a real Mexican town than most tourist destinations along the coast. Lovely.
We arrived at 14:45. The person who opened the door immediately said, the check-in is at 15:00! No greetings or anything.
It was the same during the breakfast. It started at 8 AM and the same person told us at 7:50, the breakfast starts at 8!
She also wanted to sell a tour more expensive than what the official prices were.
We booked a standard room, but they gave us a tiny service room "used" as a regular room outside of the house (literally beside the service room).
No really happy with our stay there.
