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!

This hotel was truly something beyond words.
The hospitality was exceptional in the most genuine way — warm, kind, and deeply attentive.
The place itself felt almost sacred, with a magical atmosphere that surrounded everything. There was a profound energy throughout the hotel, a sense of peace and depth that is impossible to fully describe, but deeply felt. It was more than just a stay; it was a meaningful experience that touched me on a very deep level
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!

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.
Location is south of Bacalar village which is better (very quiet on the lake) - Also it has a direct and private beach access which is not the case for many hotels
