This is our second time at Akalki, it is nothing short of wonderful. The rooms on the lagoon/lake are beautifully, simply furnished, bright and airy. You walk out the door onto your deck and can jump into the water. The staff is extremely accommodating and are at your beck and call. Massages are wonderful, and we took Yoga classes two mornings from and excellent local teacher. This beautiful, quiet place with only 7 cottages and, I think, 4 rooms, is special. It is so special that all the boats cruising by from the village of Bacalar make a pass by it to show it to their passengers, but they don't get too close.
