Pros:

I was glad to stay at the Alamal but be warned - it is what it is. An old adequate boutique inn surrounded by lovely nature and a nice pool. It is remote so you need a car and go distance for restaurants or shops.
There is friendly but limited staff who are unavailable for most hours. Presumably guests are provided an email with instructions about accessing their room for evening arrivals, but those messages don’t get transmitted if reservations were made through an ap, so good luck.
The coffee isn’t drinkable but otherwise the breakfast is okay.
The real problem was the brown muck coming out of the hot water pipes. We departed a day early because the water was either brown or nothing coming out of the tap.
It was sad because this is a beautiful location. The room was very comfortable and the AC worked and the hotel managers were really sweet.

Pros:

The hotel is in a nice spot but the rooms are so-so, the bathrooms are ice cold and extremely humid. The shower leaked out over the floor, one of the two big towels had brown stains on it, and the water coming out of the shower was dark brown. After flushing the shower for some time we finally got it yellow but that was the best it got. The breakfast is ok but the coffee was horrific, not too weak or too strong, just had a really strange taste. One night was enough.
