Overall my wife and I had an amazing stay here for our honeymoon (two full weeks). We stayed in the seaside casita room. The breakfast staff were amazing (including Cesar and Julio). The food was fresh and highly recommend the Avocado toast and peanut butter banana smoothie there. The pool, beside chairs were comfortable and cayaking/paddle boarding activities were really fun. The staff did a great job coordinating our excursions for snorkeling in Mexico Rocks and visit to the Mayan Ruins (thank you captain Sam and Lukas). Also highly recommend the spa treatment and gym. We rented a golf cart when we wanted to head downtown. At night the backroads were a little bumpy but that was our only complaint. Two days before we left, we had a bad experience with the front desk lady. We…

The rooms and grounds are lovely. The staff is so helpful and accommodating. The on site restaurant delivered for every meal. The excursions we took from the resort (snorkeling mostly) were all really well done. Captains Samir and Charlie did a great job guiding us thru the reef to see all the creatures of the sea (Including the scary ones!). Overall Matachica made our Belize trip unforgettable.

Super New Year stay for group of twelve - two families - mix of accommodation - sea front luxury suites, sea view beach cabanas and beach bungalow. Luxury suites were just that - with lots of space, large veranda, hot tub and, of course, beach front. Having travelled overnight from the UK, the boat transfer from San Pedro to the Hotel was a real joy at the end of a long journey and very stylish way to arrive. Food in the fine dining restaurant Mambo was really excellent (surprisingly so) and in the main restaurant also very good, bistro style. New Year evening dinner was super. Band provided live music - for later dancing - and some “games” which were ok, but probably lower brow than they needed to be. A lovely evening overall. We did scuba trip (outsourced to Amigo del…

What an amazing resort! The location was beautiful and peaceful. Close to downtown to visit, but far enough away to enjoy nice days or relaxation at the beach. The service and staff were great. Everyone was very nice and professional and cared about making our experience enjoyable. The food was also very good! They had a great special menu for Christmas and the lobster dish was the best lobster I have ever had. We also decided to charter a boat for half day to go snorkeling. Our guide was JOB. He made sure that we were safe, saw all of the hotspots, and saw all the fish and wildlife that were in the area. An eel started to follow me and Job made sure to scare if away....what a relief! I can't say enough about the resort and about our snorkeling excursion with Job.…

We booked a stay at Matachica at the very last-minute (literally the day-of) after we arrived at a horrible resort (Do NOT go to Turtle Island Resort!). The property, facilities and casitas were exquisitely maintained. The staff was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. We did the sunset snorkel with Samir (Sam) and it was so much fun. He was very knowledgeable about the sea life, history of the island, etc. We did an all-day Cape Caulker snorkel cruise, as well. It was amazing to see all the various sea life - snorkeling with the nurse sharks was crazy but very cool. Our spa treatments were fantastic, the gym was clean and never busy, the drinks and food were delicious - every detail was taken care of. We were there five nights and never got sick of the…

Great trip at Matachica. Great location on the beach and good food with great service. Sam took us fishing and helped us get some amazing Snapper which the chef kindly prepared for dinner. Super fun once in a lifetime fishing experience thanks to Sam. Would definitely come back and stay here again.

We enjoyed deep relaxation at Matachica after a few days of adventure in the jungle. Casitas and setting were pretty, staff friendly and food good. Snorkeling trips captained by Henry, Job and Sam were excellent, and cocktails at the poolside Tree Bar were a fun way to socialize with other guests. Arriving at the resort by boat was special. I’d recommend. Two suggestions: how about offering yoga classes on the beach, since they have such a spectacular setting, and better coffee and tea, please!

Stayed here with another family and our kids. We were picked up at the airport and taken by a short bike ride to the resort. As we approached the dock, we knew we made the right decision. We had two beach front villas with hot tubs and was an amazing place to relax. They have an abundance of staff, all very friendly and made the stay a special experience. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are spacious. Food at the restaurant is good and kids loved Taco Tuesday at the beach bar. Do take advantage of the complimentary kayak, snorkel gear and paddle out to the reef. Saw nurse sharks, rays, abundance of fish and pretty coral formations. Mosquitoes are present but thats not unique to the resort. Present everywhere we had stayed in Belize this trip but the resort does a nice job…

Dear Seattle 121, We appreciate to know that we managed to impress and that you enjoyed all aspects of your stay with us. Indeed, during hatching time the mosquitoes can be a nuisance, especially as we have the beautiful mangrove fields around the resort. We are treating our grounds but cannot achieve the results that we wish for, especially during hatching season. Thank you for your time to share your feedback and we hope to be able to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards, Wolfgang Brandl & Team Matachica
