Description
Follow the small dirt paths that trace the shoreline and you will arrive at Aaculaax's intricate garden, which has been thoughtfully designed to compliment the hotel's rooms. Built in mid-2003, this hotel is unique in the town, and perhaps even on the Lake. It all starts with the name, which is the Mayan translation of the German owner's name, Neils. All of the rooms are ornately decorated with stained-glasswork that is produced from the on-site workshop. Throughout the garden you will find small tables and sitting areas with stained-glass inlaid. There is a small, communal kitchen for guests use and a new beach-volleyball court where locals and guests can play.

Rooms
There are nine rooms here, seven of which have a private bathroom. Each has a funky design in a comfortable setting. The most outstanding is the two-storied El Mirador which is reached by climbing a long set of stairs that curve around the landscape. At the entrance is a lovely sitting area with a table and loveseat where you can gaze out the bay window at the lake. Climb further up the stairs and you arrive at the bedroom with its breathtaking views and eclectic décor that you can wake up to from the comfortable bed facing the window. A door to the side leads to the bathroom which is open air, allowing for incredible scenery, built right into the brick landscape. This room also boasts its own kitchen that is separate from the unit. Doubles Q150 - 250 and Mirador Suite Q.500.
