Matachica Beach Resort and Spa

GREAT and clean staff, friendly. The hunt we stayed at was so beautiful inside, they accommodate you with drinks and a free complimentary shuttle back to the water taxi. I love it, will be back! great stay for a couple or a family

This hotel is a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation and some amazing scuba diving. My husband and I spent six wonderful days here to complete our scuba diving test, and it truly was one of the best hotels we've stayed at in a while. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A particular highlight for us was the two restaurants, which were well-organized and provided excellent service, making our stay even more enjoyable. Every day, someone would come to refresh our room, make sure our bed was neatly made, and leave us a lovely treat each evening. The food was absolutely delicious, and we're already looking forward to returning! We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a peaceful, friendly, and memorable getaway.

The water in the rooms smells a little bit. But other than that, we had a fantastic time.

Came here for 5 nights so we could scuba dive 3 days on the barrier reef and The Blue Hole. Staff was great right off the bat, picking us up at the airport in San Pedro. A short golf cart ride and then a 10 minute boat ride and we were at Matachica with a delicious welcome drink in our hands! They had arranged our Tropic Air flight from Belize City and were able to adjust it to a later flight for our return to Belize City. Loved our cute casita with king bed and daily room and turn down service was exceptional. Always a new fresh baked treat awaiting us at night along with a new artsy twist on folding towels, etc. Coffee was delivered each morning at our chosen time. The food was amazing and the portions HUGE! We often shared an entrée as we could not finish one by ourself. We loved hanging out in the infinity pool in the afternoon after returning from diving. Would have loved a little more recognition as a Hilton Lifetime Diamond as they resisted upgrading our room at check-in. It did not matter much as we did not spend a lot of time in the room anyway. Lots of seaweed this time of year but they worked hard to remove it each day. Again, not a big deal as we knew about it in advance and did not plan to hang out at the beach area as we were diving. Great place to relax and very quiet at night. Would come back again!

We visited this amazing resort with friends to celebrate several birthdays. I cannot say enough about how special this resort is and how wonderful the staff treats their guests. While all staff were amazing, Steve, Andre, and Archie went out of their way to make our trip even more special. The rooms are beautiful, the food is delicious, and the pool is perfect for relaxing. I highly recommend visiting this resort.

This is a small resort outside of the hustle and bustle of San Pedro. The location is great as it is quiet and out of the way. The rooms are individual casitas so roomy and quiet. The staff and service are great, and the food at the restaurants are very good. So why the reservations? One, the rooms are very hot. If you like to sleep with it hot, this does not apply to you, however, if you are used to A/C, especially while sleeping, beware. The casitas are built in a traditional island way with thatched roofs with minimal/no insulation with mini split a/c units. The mini splits cannot keep the limits cool enough. It was extremely hot at night even though they provided an oscillating fan. Information in the rooms indicates that the rooms may be warmer than we are used to. I wish they would have told me before booking. Second, currently the sargassum seaweed is very bad. I mean very bad. They work very hard to clean it up workers start early in the morning cleaning it up manually all day. By the time they are done they start over. The stink is so bad that it permeates everything and they light incense in your room at night. It is so thick the beach is not usable and the stink is so bad you cannot enjoy it. This a natural occurrence and not the resorts fault. They do the best they can. However, it does negatively impact the quality and enjoyment of the resort. It may be helpful if they invested in a tractor to clear it faster each day. I did enjoy our stay. Will I stay there again? Undecided. I will make sure it is the winter season when the winds are shifted and the sargassum is gone, and maybe the weather is a bit cooler so the a/c unit can keep up.

Simply an excellent vacation, no crowds, no noise, seamless transportation, excellent food and hosting... Highly recommend!

Good hotel. The seagrass/seaweed accumulation on the beach is a bit of a drawback, but not a year round issue. The pool set up is good, so I was content, but for people wanting to lie on the beach, this would be a real issue.
