We stayed at Hotel Aaculaax for 3 nights and what a relaxing break. Guatemala is such a beautiful country and we wanted to see a lot, but we changed our plans to spend an extra day enjoying San Marcos and Aaculaax. The setting is breathtaking, the staff was wonderful and our room was a great place to hang out (Granadilla).... more

I´ve stayed serveral times in the Hotel Aaculaax throughout the last years, everytime was an enchanting experience. By now I´ve managed to get to know almost every room in the hotel, they all have a different design, every room is special, no one looks like another. My favourite rooms are Sonrisa, Mirador, Cascada, Pescado, and Grenadilla......each of them an art... more

Aaculaax is a gem, quite literally. The unique stained glassed windows and light fixtures sparkle when light filters through the leafy green canopy. The flowers of all colors, shapes and sizes, combined with the lush greenery, create a pallete only seen in Monet's paintings. We are on our honeymoon, but very budget as we are trying to travel for two... more

I have stayed at Hotel Aaculaax many times. To me, it's by far the most romantic hotel in the village of San Marcos. Every room is totally unique, and it's safe to say, unlike anyplace you will ever have stayed before. I found the accomodations clean, the service excellent--but what stands out about Aaculaax are all the things , besides... more

The second part of our honeymoon was spent at Hotel Aaculaax in San Marcos. This was a completely different look, feel, and experience than Casa Santo Domingo in Antigua. The people at The Aaculaax were great. Service was wonderful. We stayed in The Mirador, which is the honeymoon suite at this hotel. It was built high up on the rock... more

I enjoyed my stay here, but I'm not sure I'd go back. I appreciate the eco concept, and the room design was innovative. I knew what I was getting into with the natural setting, but it turned out to be buggier than I expected, and I had the bites -- which I suspect were mostly from bedbugs -- to show... more

We stayed in the Mirador for two nights. It was okay. The view from the bedroom in the morning was our one saving grace. I know that the hotel is billed out as an "eco lodge", but the bugs in our room were crazy. I've never seen so many spiders, scorpions, and giant moths in my life. Oh, and the... more

Management response from
HotelAaculaax, Owner

We just want to remind travelers that San Marcos is a semi-tropical climate and Hotel Aaculaax is built directly into the hillside, so we do have bugs. The Mirador has an open-air bathroom which allows more access to nature (both "good" and "bad" forms). These guests also came at the height of the rainy season which is definitely a "buggier"...

In my opinion, this is the best hotel in San Marcos (and I've stayed in a few of them). It's very clean, and comfortable, the staff is friendly, helpful and speak great English, and it has one of the best breakfasts you can find in the area! more

Loved the Mirador suite at Aaculaax. The room, a short trek up some relatively steep steps from (almost all of) the remainder of the hotel, was awesome. The room shares a kitchen and patio with one of the other suites. Up a couple more steps and you enter a living/lounge room with a couple wicker chairs and setee with many... more
