Matachica Resort & Spa - Adults Only

The Matachica resort was excellent from the moment we arrived at the San Pedro airport. Transfer to the hotel via boat was excellent, and we were warmly greeted with a cold drink. From there the service was excellent! The food and chef were incredible; everything was excellent, fresh, and well prepared. My wife is gluten free, and every waiter knew that once we sat down. The concierge was very helpful in arranging our excursions, and even when one fell through he was able to rebook and support an alternative option (that ended up being better). Matachica is 5 miles north of town and is quiet and peaceful; the perfect place if you want to relax and skip the business of San Pedro.

My husband & I had a fantastic time at Matachica, with a beautiful beach cabana with a sea view, superbly comfy bed & comfortable accommodations throughout. From the morning coffee/tea service, to our room to the turn down service at night; the delicious food & great cocktails in the restaurants & bars; the offerings of free transfers to neighboring Caye Caulker & Secret Beach; the lovely spa; the hospitality here is unparalleled. Literally everyone who took care of us was top notch, and we were treated like royalty. The only drawback was the sargassum, which is completely beyond the control of any resort at this time, but there was a team out all day every day managing it as best they could, and there were plenty of places to go away from the seaweed so that it really didn't hinder our stay much. We did a package and found it to be of great value. I highly recommend Matachica for a grownups vacation!

Matachica has been my wife and I's go to resort in Belize for the past 4 years. For our fifth visit, we brought our three daughters (minding the 16+ policy) and stayed in one of the luxury villas instead of a casita for the first time. Everything was amazing! Jorge and his entire team always take such great care of their guests and treated our family like their family. They helped us plan excursions to the Mayan site of Lamanai as well as snorkeling trips to Mexico Rocks and Hol Chan/Shark Ray Alley. At the resort itself are two fantastic restaurant options. One of our favorite things is that all the produce is not only local, but comes from their sister resort Gaia (which we also highly recommend) and is grown in their garden using traditional techniques. There's a wonderful pool area with views of the ocean/reef. We recommend Taco Tuesday when they have live music and fantastic drink specials to go with their amazing tacos. Another thing we love is how committed they are to supporting their community. Encouraging their guests to "Pack with Purpose" and bring school supplies that they donate to local schools. I could go on all day how wonderful the people are who work at Matachica and how much they care about their guests. We plan to continue returning every year.

This is the best hotel I’ve stayed at. All staff were so attentive and very accommodating. Our room was really nice and cozy.

The resort was super nice and quiet which was very nice and relaxing, easily the most relaxing vacation I have ever been on.
