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.

Absolutely one of the most stunning spaces I’ve ever been to, charming and wild at the same time. They have blended just the right amount of everything together in nature. So relaxing, wonderful food & an incredibly helpful staff.

Amazing hotel!!! Make sure you take the room on the lagoon. We spent three nights of our honeymoon here. Most beautiful place with very kind people managing it. Also very good food at the restaurant. Highly recommend!!

The tropical feeling. Small hotel, beautiful gardens. Their food was amazing. Staff went above and beyond to help.
Vivian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jeannette, 2-night trip

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
Chen, 2-night trip

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.

In a lagoon villa beside loud children. Not very “calming” def not worth the price whe. We couldn’t get a new villa. Will not go again.

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!
Ariana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Marisa, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

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!!!
