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.

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!!!

**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.

Viajé en compañía de una amiga a este hermoso santuario natural. Quedé encantada con la vista, la comida y la amabilidad de su personal. Ofrecen varias actividades holísticas que enriquecen la estancia y que recomiendo mucho se aprovechen. Estuve a mediados de junio y no pasamos mucho calor, aunque sí algunas lluvias. Aún así disfrutamos. Muy recomendable para personas que viajan solas, en pareja y con hij@s.

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.
