This place was so nice and relaxing, super close to the little plaza. Close to places to eat, they have amazing tasty food in the hotel. If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing place this is the place to go.

Excellent,beautiful boutique hotel in a stunning location, the hotel has an excellent restaurant in a beautiful location.

The only improvement could be better towels as they’re a bit scruffy and a suitcase standin the room.

Everything about Akalki is excellent. The accommodation, the location, the staff, the yoga, the food, and the access to the amazing Bacalar Lake.
It is truly a healing space and I try to come there as often as I can!

Our cabana was in the middle of a remodel. There was a tarp blocking half of the view, which was as the reason why we booked this hotel. The staff was quick to do a turnaround that worked out but wasn’t super ideal. The location of the cabanas right on the water is outstanding.

This hotel is truly paradise on earth. The combination of the turquoise water and the lush jungle is simply magical. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the restaurant offers delicious food with plenty of vegetarian options. We even saw spider monkeys and went snorkeling — an unforgettable experience!

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing place this is it! I am not into yoga but if you are then this is the place for you. The staff are courteous and very helpful and the food is excellent and reasonably priced. We stayed for 3 nights and never left the area. The Lagoon is absolutely gorgeous. I recommend taking the boat tour as Jami was very iformative and friendly.

Beautiful hotel has a lot to offer

I have been waiting to stay here since I saw this resort the first time on the lagoon in 2021. I stayed at the over water cabana which offered beautiful lagoon view, unit 6 and 7 are newer units with glass patio doors. The cabanas are eco friendly therefore no AC but they provided 3 fans, the room is not completely sealed so some openings are covered with mesh to prevent bugs. Their temple is beautiful and they offer daily yoga or meditation. We also paid extra for the lagoon boat ride and met the captain yan who was so nice and knowledgeable. This is a place to connect to the nature so fish, birds, bugs and frogs might come out sometimes.

Had a beautiful stay in one of the lagoon villas. From the moment we arrived staff were incredibly helpful and attended to everything we needed.
We took the opportunity to participate in the sound healing ceremony in the beautiful temple, which was a great experience.
The grounds are beautiful and create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
We also booked a couples Thai massage which was excellent.
Food and drinks at the restaurant were top quality.
Would definitely recommend for those looking to disconnect, slow down and rejuvenate.

Muy lindo y tranquilo para desconectarse y descansar, solo falta un poco más de variedad en el menú de comida, ya que no es fácil salir a comer a otro lado y las opciones, aunque saludables, son limitadas y parecidas.

**Review of a 5-Day Stay at Akalki Hotel & Centro Holístico**

I recently had the pleasure of spending five wonderful days at Akalki Hotel & Centro Holístico, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff, especially Elizabeth and Arath, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable.

The grounds of the hotel are expansive and impeccably maintained. Everywhere you look, there's a sense of tranquility and natural beauty that adds to the overall calming atmosphere. Whether strolling through the lush gardens or relaxing by the water, the peaceful environment was a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

One of the highlights of my stay was the crystal-clear freshwater that surrounds the property. The water is absolutely incredible – so clear and refreshing that it felt almost surreal. I spent many hours swimming and simply soaking in the natural beauty of the area.

Overall, my stay at Akalki Hotel & Centro Holístico was nothing short of magical. The combination of excellent service, beautiful surroundings, and the serene atmosphere made it a truly unforgettable vacation. I can't recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning in the future.

Manglar room musty. Staff unhelpful.

We booked the last room left, which was a manglae room.

When we arrived, the room was very musty and was being used as staff luggage storage. We did not stay at the hotel because the room was so musty. The hotel would not give us a refund, although the room was in no condition to be rented. The other rooms might be beautiful, but the room is horrible and should not be rented out to anybody.

Magical!

Where do I begin? From the moment we arrived it was magical. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful sending menu's for food and spa as well as daily activities straight to your WhatsApp. Then they invited us to do a cleansing / blessing ritual with setting our intentions and copal blessing.
Aaron went above and beyond giving us a private tour of the temple! The spa services are also magical! I had the aquatic massage with Diane and it was if she had been specially selected for me. And then we opted for the Sunrise Tour on kayaks and paddleboards with Isaac. He made my birthday so special. So many magical moments. The room was beautiful, the Lagoon was brilliant and the resort was spectacular!! I will be back!

This hotel was the most serene and tranquil experience ever had. It felt like we had the hotel all to ourselves as there are only 17 rooms, and our bungalow was over the water with direct access to the lagoon from our back door. This was a dream, we will definitely plan to be back!

Incredible rooms right over the most beautiful lagoon ever with clear turquoise fresh water. Janzu therapy with Monica is another most. Just bring mosquito repelent!

Run down uncomfortable room & bad “resort” food

This place is overrated. We were there four days and there weren't any staff on site that we could find in the holistic center of the property. There was a juice bar that was never staffed and always had dirty dishes around. Confusing. Also there is no furniture to speak of other than beds. No chairs to sit upright in the over water cabanas. The food is horrible and menu misleading with many unmentioned substitutions. The whole place felt like it was trying to cater to weekend visitors as opposed to weekday stays. Disappointing. Also around the property, on the drive in and around the organic structures, broken glass and broken furniture, looked like maybe they were going to upcyle but who knows, it just looked ratty.

The villas were beautiful! It felt like we had the lagoon to ourself! The people who work there were great! Luis and hector really stood out to as as very helpful. There was also a man in the restaurant that was amazing. He knew a lot of information and was very helpful…. We didn’t get his name. The food at Akalki wasn’t the best. The breakfast was good, the rest wasn’t that great. Overall a great trip! Would definitely recommend akalki to all!

Akalki is a true treasure! This is my second time in Bacalar and Akalki offers the best hotel option out of all the hotels I’ve visited there (to stay or to have lunch or dinner). The staff’s service level is incredible! They really go out of their way to make you feel special and taken care of. The hotel grounds are impecable and right on the lagoon… and on the most secluded and tranquil part of the lagoon. Great to rest and relax. It is the only hotel to have villas over the water like in Bali, the Maldives and Bora Bora. Such an amazing experience to sleep over perfect turquoise crystal clear water with white sand! The restaurant is great (specially loved breakfast) and the spa is amazing! It is more than a spa… it is a healing center with body and spiritual treatments like no other. All together, I would recommend Akalki to go enjoy Bacalar. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I will be back!!!

The food excellent. Loved the tea by your door in the morning, the stuff was excellent and attentive.
