Matachica Beach Resort and Spa

LikedEverything about our stay was exceptional—from the beautiful hotel grounds and charming bungalows to the delicious food. What truly made this place stand out, though, was the attention to detail. You can tell that a lot of thought and care has gone into every aspect of the experience, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our stay incredibly enjoyable. We left feeling relaxed, well looked after, and already hoping to return.

LikedThis 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.

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

LikedThe facilities, great food and the staff were amazing. Also the tours were incredible

DislikedAll good

LikedBeautiful location, excellent pool and the hotel grounds were well kept. The room was clean and well splinted, except no TV in the room.

DislikedThe food was decent, but was expensive for what it was. We spent almost the equivalent of our room rate on food each day, which was surprising.

LikedEverything was 10/10 From the pick up on the speed boat ordering our welcome cocktail to the checkout, the whole experience was a dream. We stayed at one of the beach casitas, the room was amazing, they bring coffees in the morning to the casita, home made biscuits delivered every day. The bed was the comfiest and they have all the details nailed down, from bath robes to mosquito nets and repelente. The AC in the room worked great as well. The breakfast included in the room rate was brilliant, fresh bakery, fruit, coffee and an amazing service. For lunch and dinner we mostly stayed at Matachica as the offer was great and so was the quality. We are very grateful to Edith and the team for all their help in organising activities outside the hotel such as diving and snorkeling trips, but also within the hotel. Taco Tuesdays with live music was amazing, di was the rum tasting evening. For a treat I really recommend the spa, the massage was a dream.

LikedWonderful staff and location. Nice pool. Ideal for relaxing

DislikedPrices for food and services were pretty high. In August, sargasso prevent from using the beach.

LikedWe absolutely loved everything about our stay. The pick-up by boat from the ferry, the warm welcome and welcome drinks, the beauty of the resort, and the lovely cabin. The beds were so comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the food at the restaurant was just amazing. We also liked the fact that they offer free transfers to Caye Caulker and Secret Beach a few times a week. But the best thing was probably the staff. The whole team was incredibly friendly and warm, and they did everything they could to make our stay even more comfortable. We loved the small little details like the cookies we'd find in our room at bedtime. Definitely recommend this place!

DislikedLike almost everywhere in Belize, the seaweed is intense (and stinky), but they do everything they can to get rid of it.

LikedAbsolutely loved our cosy cabin at Matachica. Fairy tale arrival by speed boat with drinks awaiting us was an amazing start to the holiday. The resort is quiet, stylish and very tastefully decorated. It never felt busy even though i think it was over half full. The food was amazing! The chef knows what they're doing - fantastic bread and breakfast pastries but every meal was delicious. However, what made our trip were the staff - everyone was so kind and willing to help in any possible way. We had problems with our air conditioning unit and after an initial fix failed they replaced the whole unit whilst giving we the option to change rooms if we wanted (we didn't - we were too settled) Lovely people but i also found that generally true of Belize. Thank you so much. Do try the trips - we borrowed a kayak to go to the reef across from the hotel and snorkel with sting rays but also did organised Hol Chan trip including swimming with nurse sharks which was fabulous.

DislikedTake your bug spray as lots of mossies but the hotel provide mossie nets and coils which helped.
