We stayed here in one of the standard double rooms which we felt was overpriced at $65 per night. The room was very nice and had a great view of the volcano but felt it didn't offer more than some of the private rooms we stayed in previous hostels. The staff were great, as was the buffet breakfast. Our main... More

My girlfriend and I went on a month-long 'mayan adventure' and staying in the El Mirador room at Hotel Aaculaax was the highlight of the trip...so much so that we delayed our departure two days to keep enjoying the perfect views. San Marcos is a hippie town with only a few restaurants to speak of. Our room at El Mirador... More

We stayed in the Sirena room. It was just what we wanted! King size bed was great, cool bathroom built into the side of the mountain, and the view of the volcano every morning when you wake up...Awesome! Not to deter, but more to prepare...you will see some bugs in and out of the room as it remains a very... More

We stumbled across this place months before we begun our 7 month backpacking journey, and decided all the way from Australia this would be our treat for ourselves! It was a little over our "backpacker" budget but was worth every dollar - this Hotel is truly magical! The owners have put so much time and effort into every detail and... More

My new husband and I planned a trekkers honeymoon to Guatemala, complete with a three-day hike to Lago de Atitlan via Quetzaltrekkers in Xela. Desiring of a quiet night for the two of us, we took a peek at the rooms Aaculaax had to offer. We took the Pescado room... comfy bed, clean sheets, shower built into the side of... More

We had a wonderful time at this hotel, very relaxing and laid back. Lily and Niels are great help with any questions. The rooms are special, all very comfortable and Artsy with lovely stained glass windows and creative architecture. Breakfast included was good, coffee excellent. Went with their recommendations for dinner out and had great meals. The PA system that... More

We stayed 2 nights at Aaculaax in Sienna room & loved it. The room was lovely with a great view over the lake, bed was soooooo comfortable & bathroom built into the rocks. Breakfast was delicious & we loved the terrace area for having a drink in the afternoon. Very friendly & helpful staff & organised a shuttle for us... More

I've stayed here a couple of times- once in March 2008 with my boyfriend (now husband), and once on my own in April 2010. Both times were fabulous. The hosts and staff were welcoming. There is a sense of peace and awe upon entering the hotel. One of the most romantic places I have every stayed. All of the rooms... More

We stayed at the Mirador room, its beautiful. Don't expect the luxuries of a corporate hotel, but you will definitely not be disapointed. The rate included breakfast, but I was a bit disapointed by it, maybe I had bad luck. The fruit were very fresh, the coffee was also great. More
