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.

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!

An incredible oasis in a silent part of the Bacalar lagoon. If you’re looking to escape this is the place for you. Everything was designed to make sure you relaxed and escaped the real world. A gem of a place.

Akalki is one of the most unique places I have visited.
The grounds of Akalki and the areas around the lagoon are inviting, relaxing, quiet, friendly and precious.
The food excellent. Loved the tea by your door in the morning, the stuff was excellent and attentive.
Will be back for sure.

Beautiful place. They harvest their own crops. So the food is as fresh as can be. Their menu changes according to what is seasonal. The rooms referred to as "cabañas" that face the lagoon are worth every penny. Waking up every morning to paradise is truly priceless. I cant wait to return.

Most magical and healing experience I’ve had. All therapists are amazing, and the staff was super kind and helpful. Don’t miss paddle boarding with world pro Hector. 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!

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.
