Excellent,beautiful boutique hotel in a stunning location, the hotel has an excellent restaurant in a beautiful location.
The only improvement could be better towels as they’re a bit scruffy and a suitcase standin the room.

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.

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.

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.

**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.

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
