Great Restaurant

“I absolutely loved dining at Mambo! From breakfast to dinner, every meal was delicious and beautifully presented. I still dream about the ceviche and seafood burrito; they were some of the best dishes I've ever had. After trying a few off-site restaurants, we kept saying to each other, 'We should have just eaten at Mambo!'” view full review

Gorgeous Beachfront Casitas

“Staying in a beachfront casita was the highlight of my trip! The room was beautifully decorated with colorful murals and equipped with a comfortable king-sized bed. Waking up to the stunning waterfront view every day made our honeymoon feel even more special. It truly was a sanctuary for my wife and me.” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“The Jade Spa was a lovely addition to our stay. My wife and I both enjoyed 90-minute massages, and while we felt there could be an enhancement in the massage technique, the ambiance was calming and aromatic, which contributed to a restful experience. It was a perfect way to unwind during our busy honeymoon.” view full review

Charming Environment

“The entire resort had a charming and bohemian atmosphere. Each casita felt private, and the lack of televisions allowed for a peaceful escape from the outside world. We enjoyed lounging on the dock, soaking up the sun, and engaging in conversations with other guests, which made our stay feel intimate and special.” view full review

I recently had the most incredible experience at this beachfront resort on Ambergris Caye, marked by its tropical vibe and friendly staff. While the resort offers various activities and has a decent size pool, the dining service could be a bit slow at times, which was a minor drawback. Overall, the ambiance is relaxing, and the beautiful surroundings make it a great getaway despite some maintenance issues in the rooms.

Matachica Resort is an absolute gem on the North shore of San Pedro. The grounds are stunning, and the atmosphere is both romantic and artistic, perfect for a getaway. While the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, we did have an issue with some unexpected guests in our casita which detracted from our experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay with great dining options, but be prepared for a rustic charm that comes with the setting.

Our beachfront casita was charming and had a beachy vibe, reminiscent of my travels in Southeast Asia, though it could use some refurbishment. Despite the charming atmosphere, the presence of mice was definitely a downside.
