Matachica has got to be one of the most magical places on earth! I decided to celebrate my birthday here with a group of friends. The resort is ideally located to get the best views of the Sunrise in the morning and the moon lit nights. The service is top tier. My concierge advisor Edgar was excellent at suggesting and securing all of my excursions .He is an expert at what he does taking away all the worries of planning and ensuring things go smoothly. The entire staff at Matachica was wonderful and attentive, special mention to Lucas, Job, Charlie, Nathaniel, Julio, Carlos, Florie, Jennifer and Henry (I am forgetting some names) but everyone was simply remarkable. I can't forget about Taco! When you visit you will see why. Every meal was delicious and the Spa was…

An idyllic spot overlooking the ocean. A very tranquil vibe with lots of outdoor furniture to enjoy water views. The staff are very friendly. A special shout out to Archy, Henry, Jose and Aaron. The restaurant is top notch and offers a bistro and a more formal option. Plenty of options were offered that provided a chance to interact with staff and other guests ( a Captain’s Table with 6 course menu and a Rum Tasting). The rooms were spacious and very attractive with custom painting

We stayed at Matachica Resort for our honeymoon and it was everything we hoped for. Upon arriving to the resort by boat we were greeted with two delicious cocktails and the resort dog Taco. We felt very relaxed and comfortable right away. We were led to our casita that was beautiful inside and out. The entire vibe of the resort is so cool and relaxing. We had champagne and local chocolate in our room waiting for us as well as a beautiful flower display on our bed. The entire week was a dream. The food at both restaurants on premise was absolutely delicious every single day no matter what meal. Hats off to the chef! We had great service from the staff the whole week. Some of our favorite bartenders were Carlos, Sylvano, Lance, and Jose. Moises and Julio were also great. Aaron…

Really cool place. A bit out of the way but once you are there form San Pedro, the entire staff is amazingly welcoming. Stayed in an ocean from casita and was great, we loved it. (Had 45 MPH winds but can’t do anything about that. The owner Stephen and the entire staff were great hosts. Food was terrific and fresh every time! One drawback to mentioned the pool/jacuzzi heater was broken for our entire stay. One of our travelers needs to have some heat in the pool and or jacuzzi. That was disappointing.

This is an absolutely beautiful resort with a luxury, private experience. The resort was full and you never waited in line or saw many other people almost like it was private. The staff was amazing, special shout out to Lance,our bartender, and Josie, our housekeeper. All of the staff was over the top friendly and accommodating and the vibe is overall peace and serenity - this is not a party resort for big groups but a romantic private escape. The downside for us was the price since we like to spend time exploring the rest of the island and only spend a few days on resort. Also, rent a golf cart because water taxis are not as easy as things were before Covid.

Matachica is a paradise untouched by time. This visit is a must for anyone looking to take a step away from the rat race and enjoy pure relaxation at its finest. The rooms are all private, the resort sits privately from others on white sand beaches. White sand pathways guide you from room to room, to the pool, to the restaurant, and to the spa. An oceanfront room is not a requirement, but we did stay in one I highly recommend it. Waking up to the sunrise and the quietly lapping water every morning gave me a peace I’m still craving since leaving. The staff at Matachica were absolutely incredible. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Henry toured my wife and I through a snorkeling trip at Mexico Rocks and was so patient with me as I’m not the best…

There is no better place to get away from it all than Matachica. Our journey started with a wonderful 15 minute flight from Belize City which the resort organized for us and I highly recommend. Seeing the beautiful islands and water from 3,000 feet was a great experience. Once we touched down it was a water taxi to the resort where we were greeted with delicious cocktails as soon as we were off the dock. Edith took care of us from the moment we arrived and got us set up with all the excursions, massages, and anything else we needed. We had a great snorkeling session with Chris, one of the phenomenal guides the resort has on staff. The rest of the trip was nothing but sun on a beautiful Belizean beach or at the spectacular infinity pool while being treated to food and drinks…

Where do I even begin? Well, let’s start at the airport in San Pedro where two guys from the hotel met us, took our bags and escorted us to a golf court for a short ride to a dock where we got on a boat that took us to the Matachica dock. They called ahead to relay our preferred arrival drink orders. Check in was quick and easy and we were escort to our seafront casita. It was beautiful and they had gone to great effort to decorate the bed with a happy birthday message for my husband. Every person we encountered at the resort was incredibly friendly. The entire property is beautifully maintained. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of place to stay.
