I travelled to San Marcos with my girlfriend, we picked the hotel from the description in Lonley Planet, we didn't really know what to expect, but we liked the desrciption of using recycled material and their care for the environment. When we arrived and were shown the rooms by Ariana, we were blown away, we looked at several rooms but... More

My friend and I really enjoyed our short stay at the Aaculaax in San Marcos. When we read how unique it was in design and artistic expression we were curious and when we got there were delighted with our room and our bathroom. The windows and murals and lights were so different. It was a cultural experience just waking up... More

Anyway we were only there for the... More

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
