I cannot recommend this Hotel enough. Having travelled extensively in Mexico and world wide, this has been a truly unique experience. The rooms/cabanas are beautiful, every detail is thought out with love, the views on to the Laguna de Bacalar are magical. The serenity and great respect to nature, are one of the most outstanding features. The staff is extraordinary,... More

My wife, two friends and I traveled from our home in Puerto Aventuras, Q. Roo, Mexico where we live in the winter to visit this wonderful fresh water lake area near Chetumal. The cabins are located on stilts over the water and offer the ability for guests to swim in the beautiful clear lake at their convenience, clothed or not.... More

The location is spectacular. Beautiful fresh water lagoon. Lots of archeological Mayan sites in the area, great for day trips. Lots of activities (kayak, boat trips, catamaran, paddling boards), fun for kids, very peaceful. Nicely run hotel, friendly staff. Full review on my web site .

The laguna and the bungalows are definately stunning. But the attention to detail is missing. Its too expensive for what you get. Food is ok, wine is really not good. We brought our own wine and were offered to "park" it in the restaurant fridges which we found very nice (as bungalows only have electricity at night - Eco friendly...).... More

First time in Mexico, visited Akalki, in lake Bacalar. Heavenly!!!Location, the beautiful huts with your private deck a step from the lagoon. Very comfortable bed and pillows, nice honey sampoo and chocolate soap. Very friendly staff, wi fi in common areas, and location, location, location. It's hard no to relax and fall in love!

The place is amazing, right on the beautiful laguna. The white lagune sand gives it an amazing turquoise color. The water is shallow. Our room had 2 chaises longues on the small deck that can be used if u decide to stay alone, otherwise you could join the other guests ( there aren't many). Food is soooo boring, and doesn't... More

I am tempted to give Akalki five stars because it is owned by friends of friends, however to make the review honest I give it 4. The excellent aspects: 1. The rooms are impeccable. All towels and linens smell divine and are so soft! There is a wonderful honey shampoo in the bathroom and they offer candles for romance. The... More

First of all: it took them 4 days for their reception/reservations staff to reply to us via e-mail that they could not give us a cabaña: we were told at that time (3-4 monts ago) that the hotel was going to be entirely reserved for a group on the week we wanted to come. So, that simply reply took them... More

This place was designed to fit perfectly into its natural surroundings. The rooms are set up in various cabin like structures our room being in a kind of treehouse feel on the second floor( most all other were single story ) we loved it with a beautiful view of the surrounding vast landscape . The view from the back balcony... More
