It was amazing. Every single employee we encountered was genuinely kind and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and so peaceful. The food was delicious too! All Of our drinks were top notch. We walked away saying we actually felt like we had a real vacation.

The accommodations were phenomenal. We stayed in a beach front casita. The view in front of the beach was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and very attentive. They brought coffee to our room everymorning. Being able to hang out by the pool or dip in the ocean was convenient and tranquil. The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the Captains dinner..a 6 course meal that we shared with 10 other guests. It was so much fun. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely come back soon.

This is a beautiful but quite remote property. It is very quiet and calm. The room was beautiful and the staff very friendly. The spa is also quite lovely. It is the smaller things that were a bit off. There’s no tea/coffee in the room so you have to leave your room or wait until someone can bring it to you. This was a bit inconvenient for me. Also no fridge at all. We told them multiple times we wanted to visit secret beach & rent a golf cart but no one make it clear that we would have to find a company ourselves and make arrangements. Even having that info would have made a big difference. It’s at least 30 minutes from town so be prepared to spend $90 minimum just to go into town.

Loved the staff, great food, and peaceful atmosphere. Impeccable service from the resort entire staff!

We had an absolutely amazing time at Matachica! Celebrated our honeymoon here, and will definitely be back in a few years to celebrate again! Staff was so friendly and helpful, the food was all so delicious and beautifully presented, and we were beyond comfortable in our casita!

Property was far out and really really great

Julio was an exceptional server for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The service was excellent and felt like a luxury culinary experience. The grounds and rooms were absolutely beautiful. We will be back!

Beautiful and quaint resort with the friendliest staff and beautiful pool

Gorgeous grounds, accommodating staff, delicious food, and easy to get to town. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing trip! All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was beautiful

Wonderful stay at Matachica! Highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful property that lived up to its “Private by Nature” motto. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we barely ever left the resort. We appreciate all the care and dedication that went into the concept and design of this property. It is the perfect place for guests who want to relax and rejuvenate, far from the craziness of San Pedro. It was the perfect spot for our babymoon.

Far from the noise and hectic life in San Pedro, you have Matachica. Inside the grounds, it is calm and peaceful, with stand alone beautiful casitas. The staff is amazing and friendly, and everything was immaculate. Since you were far from everything, you wanted a golf cart to explore, and maybe get to other restaurants. We gave it 5 stars, but the service missed the mark. When we asked for suggestions to rent gold cars, they simply said Google it and look at the reviews. Suspect they had some bad experiences, but would expect more. The service in the casual restaurant was very slow, and the servers were not tuned into checking with the guests to see how it was going. One night we moved from our table to the bar, and were immediately served. They did nice little things like a Super Bowl party and sweets for Valentine’s Day. We were not formally advised about bag pickup and departure time…had to ask at the desk. Overall, would stay again.

We had a (relatively) good time at this resort. Everyone was super nice and friendly except the front desk people. We found one of their front desk staff to be extremely rude and abrasive towards us at the end of our stay that it really left us with a sour taste in our mouth. She was dismissive and abrasive to both my husband and me. I’d like to think that for a four star resort, which we stayed for 2 weeks, that this wouldn’t be the case but disappointed. Ruined the end of our trip and not okay!

Amazing time beautiful place! Staff was very helpful and nice.

The location is beautiful and the resort just blends into a charming oasis. All of the staff is friendly and super helpful. The food and drinks are incredible! We had an amazing sunrise snorkeling experience arranged by Edgar and guided by Henry to Hol Chan and Shark Alley. Absolutely will be back!

We had a top-notch experience at Matachica, from booking to check-out! Egar was extremely helpful in planning excursions with us, and we truly loved our interactions with the whole staff! They really went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. I actually cried saying goodbye to Matachica! Much love for Julio, Jennifer (thanks for the shell for our daughter!), Henry for the awesome excursion, all the transportation guys and housekeeping for such a delightful experience! The spa was relaxing and lovely, the restaurant and drinks were delicious! Love Danny’s Tree Bar. Truly a wonderful experience all around and if we didn’t miss our kids so much, we would have extended our stay!

The cottages are super cute and the attention to detail is exceptional. I only wish we had a fridge in our room

All in all, it’s the best property on the island. 1. The only drawback with the rooms is that the bathroom area is separated from the bedroom and that area has no air-conditioning. the bathroom area is just sweltering hot. 2. The beach is beautiful, but this resort, like all the others that face East has fallen prey to the black plague of the sargassum, seaweed. They literally send half a dozen guys out every morning to remove a dozen dump truck loads of the stuff from the beach but by the time they get to the end of the beach, the day is over and it is already started to accumulate back behind them where they started in the morning. It’s just a nightmare and the smell is Like rotting fish. It’s just awful. And the stench sometimes permeates the entire property. But the resort was the only resort on the island even made an attempt at cleaning it up. in seven days, we never saw a single person use the beach, due to the smell of the seaweed. 3. The food and the drinks are really good but about double the price you would pay anywhere else on the island. My suggestion is to rent a Golf cart, and explore all the dining places. The best for us was Rum Dog right on the water. 4. The town of San Pedro is simply not very nice. Compared to a St. Kitts or St. Barts. It’ a slum with only handful of restaurants that are worth eating at. 5. We are done spending our hard-earned money on resorts that are subject to the seaweed plague which is now bigger than the entire US cont.

We stayed here for a week over 4th of July and had the best time! The casitas are so cute and cozy. When we landed at the airport, we rented a golf cart in San Pedro and drove to the resort. They welcomed us with a drink and showing us to our room. Every morning we had breakfast at the restaurant next to the beautiful beach. There is a free continental breakfast (fruit and pastry - the pastries were amazing) or a full menu which is also yummy! The pool and beach are both beautiful. They have people shoveling away the seaweed from the beach all day. Matchicha at is ~30 min to San Pedro but it didn’t feel that long on the golf cart - it was fun! That was the one thing we were nervous about booking this place but the distance wasn’t an issue as long as you rent a golf cart. It’s also close to secret beach which was nice. We didn’t book any tours or anything through the resort - we booked boat tours and a food tour through companies in San Pedro. We had an amazing time! My one tip would be to bring a sleeping eye mask because the curtains let the light in at 6am and it’s soooo bright. But we didn’t mind because we generally went to bed pretty early and it was nice to wake up early and have a full day. We loved it here! Relaxing was the word of the trip. I couldn’t believe how relaxed we felt the whole time! Loved it

This resort is 10/10. Absolutely wonderful staff, amazing views and clean property. We enjoyed our anniversary and my birthday trip here. The staff were all amazing and very friendly. This was my first time to Belize and I am so glad that I picked this resort. We enjoyed complimentary coffee to our room every morning. We look forward to returning and visiting Matachica along with their sister resort Gaya in the near future.

Matachica was the best place we’ve ever stayed. Not only was the property amazing but the service was as well. It’s located outside of the town but only a 15 min ride to secret beach and 30 min to downtown. There are 2 restaurants on site that serve delicious dinner. I would definitely stay here again. I felt like I was at a 5 star resort the entire time

Needed a TV in the room, treadmill in fitness center. More variety in the menus.

Gorgeous property with stunning views. Everything you need is located right on the property. Food is superb! Property is quite away from town so if you like to explore off property keep this in mind.

Terrible!!! We were never told there was seaweed on the beach and could not use the beach. We paid $500/night and could not use the beach!!! No refunds... terrible management. No vibe.. no atmosphere...

Beautiful resort, excellent customer service. Food was well done. Drinks were excellent.

The private lodging was perfect and the staff and food at the resort were tops (the baked goods were scrumptious). The snorkeling trips run by the resort were also excellent and the service and transportation were all impeccable.

We loved our snorkel excursions thru Matachica. One of my memorable experiences was the arrival. We were picked up from Tropic Air by golf cart, super fun, whisked off to a 20 minute boat ride to the resort and welcomed by super friendly staff. Not once did we touch our luggage and it was delivered to our room. What service! We enjoyed the pool and the breads at the Bistro were made in house, delicious.

Every one on staff was so friendly, made you feel like family! I would go back in a heart beat!

We stayed here for our first night in san pedro for a romantic start to our trip. It was amazing! From the property grounds to the staff, we had a great time

Wolfgang and the staff go the extra mile to ensure your stay will exceed expectations. Well done, team! Can't wait until the next time...
