Just back from Matachica beach resort in Belize. One of my favorite vacations ever! It's a small resort about 10-15 min by boat from the town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Met at the dock by members of hotel staff, with a cool drink at the ready, and the service went uphill from there. Most of the guest rooms... more

My wife and I wanted a remote get away that was upscale but not a mega hotel and Mata Chica fit the bill perfectly. We were picked up at the airport seemlessly and our bags met us in our room after a check in with a cocktail. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The great service continued throughout our... more

Matachica Resort is located on the quiet northern end of Ambergris Caye on a secluded, well-maintained beach, a world away from the hustle and bustle of San Pedro town, and a wonderful place for a private and relaxing getaway. The management has wisely kept the number of casitas at the resort at a minimum thus ensuring that guests enjoy a... more

I do not know where the other reviewers have stayed. I did not find my experience to be congruent with the majority of previous reviews. We travel extensively and I can only surmise that other reviewers have not been exposed to luxury properties. This property charges luxury rates. If we would have paid $150 per night for this property, I... more

The matachica is a gorgeous and very unique cabana hotel situated on a secluded beach. The hotel provides a free motor boat into town a few times a day and there is a very cheap water taxi (apx $2 each way) that passes every hour until 2 or 3 am. We loved the food at Mambo and found everyone to... more

When we got married…we said we were going to take five years to travel…and we did. We also said we would not repeat destination vacations until we found that special place…and we did. matachica will forever be that special place that we return to. We originally heard of matachica through a close friend of ours who had traveled to Belize... more

Although it was spring break and the hotel was operating at full capacity, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. In part this is because the resort is located in a secluded area, surrounded by large private homes so the beach is never crowded. In addition, the individual 'casitas' are private and the resort is so well-equipped that... more

From the laid-back yet uniquely hip atmosphere, to the idyllic and secluded setting and the excellent service, a stay at Matachica is a truly wonderful experience! My wife and I stayed in a beachfront casita for 8 nights in early March. I won’t go into a detailed description of the resort or the casitas because I think most of the... more

As a single woman, I was a bit wary of going to a small resort. But my main goal was to relax in a beautiful setting and escape from life's routine. Matachica was all it had promised and more. From the moment one is picked up by the resort's motorboat and a drink order is placed, ready for your arrival... more
