Staff never kept the room stocked with towels or paper. Always had to ask for them. But overall was a beautiful place

Alma del Lago Suites & Spa
Clean room. Great view. Nice facility. Note that the rooms do not have air conditioning. Yes, you can open the windows to cool the room at night, but the windows do not have screens. Hence, mosquitos come in. Rooms should have screens. Breakfast was OK, not stellar.
