Top shelf service, amenities, location is perfect to getaway from it all, the restaurant was excellent, casitas are charming yet luxurious. Wonderful location for a wedding of its in your budget. I heard the spa was amazing, too busy enjoying the sun or out snorkeling Mexico rocks. The gentlemen at the bar were perfect hosts and made us feel welcome... More

My friend and I went to Matachica for dinner on our last night in Belize. We absolutely loved the atmosphere of the resort. My friend ordered the fish stuffed with crab. We were both enjoying our meal until she discovered that she was eating imitation crab (crab sticks)! We told the restaurant staff but they claimed that the "crab meat"... More

I did not stay at Matachica but I had lunch at their restaurant and I loved it. I was blown away by the ambience, setting and absolute beauty of it all. We ended up at Matachica by chance. We rented a golf cart from downtown San Pedro and drove north to have lunch at Rojo Lounge but it was closed.... More

Matachica does well what they are trying to do: serve couples in a kind of tropical fusion, youth oriented, romantic environment. (The fusion part is in the decor which seems to mix Thai/Asian and Central American Indian styles; the youth part is the choice and loudness of music inside the restaurant/bar. I would have liked to see more authentic Guatemalan/Mexican... More

This place is by far the best place to stay on San Pedro. I couldn't recommend it more. The rooms, grounds, pool, service- everything is absolutely amazing. I could have stayed there forever. We arrived in the early evening and the beautifully decorated resort and room in the soft lighting literally took my breath away. Everyone from the bar to... More

We just returned from a 6 night/7 day stay at Matachica and it's all true...it's beautiful, amazing and it definitely has that WOW factor. San Pedro is a bustling town but once you get on the Matachica water taxi, it's like you are stepping into another world. The guys are great and always smiling, eager to help...but, that's really how... More

Wow! What a great spot! I am still depressed about being home! We spent the first 4 days of our trip in Belize at MataChica's sister hotel Five Sisters Lodge (which was also amazing and highly recommended for a stay in the Jungle) before coming to MataChica for the last 4 days of our trip. We had caught an earlier... More

Matachica Resort is truly a luxury stay in Ambergris Caye. My friend and I stayed in the cranberry casita for 3 nights and from check-in to when we left were treated with such personalized service. I made my reservation a month beforehand and was kept in contact with Burga in reservations. She coordinated our pickup and drop-off with the on-site... More

This resort has a wonderful spa. The restaurant on site is also very good. We went on the reef fishing tour and they will clean and cook the fish you catch and serve it for lunch / dinner. The tour operators and staff were all very friendly and accomodating. The one thing I did not like was the mattresses on... More
