Villas AHAL,
A pet-friendly garden pool in Chemuyil
About this hotel
Villas AHAL is a family-run aparthotel in the village of Chemuyil, built around a single year-round outdoor pool ringed by garden rather than a sprawling resort pool deck. Family rooms include air-conditioning, private bathrooms, balconies and a kitchenette with dining area, useful for a family that wants to cook at least one meal a day rather than eat out every night. The property is explicitly pet-friendly, a rarer find on this stretch of coast, and pairs that with free on-site private parking and a 24-hour front desk for flexible arrivals. A complimentary American breakfast with pancakes and fruit gets everyone fed and out the door before a morning at Xel-Ha, roughly a short drive away along the road toward Chemuyil and the coast.
- Pet-friendly rooms
- Garden pool setting
- 24-hour front desk
- Kitchenette with dining area
Our take
Villas AHAL suits families or couples travelling with a pet, or anyone who prefers a smaller, garden-set aparthotel over a beachfront resort. The single pool and kitchenette keep things simple rather than luxurious, which is precisely the point for a low-key, practical base near Xel-Ha. It won't suit travellers wanting a full restaurant menu or direct beach access right on-site.
- ✓Confirm your pet's size and any related fees directly with the property before booking a room here.
- ✓Book the American breakfast the night before an early Xel-Ha start to avoid a rushed, hungry departure.
- ✓Ask for a ground-floor unit if travelling with young kids, a dog, or anyone who struggles with stairs.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe travelled with our dog and Villas AHAL was the rare place that made it easy. The garden pool kept her cool while we were out at Xel-Ha, and the free parking meant no long walk back with wet gear. The kitchenette covered breakfast most mornings, and the 24-hour front desk was genuinely useful the one night we got back later than planned.
