Jan 11, 202610/10 Stay at Matachica
Our stay at Matachica was unbeatable. The service and hospitality was top notch. The roots and resort were well kept, tidy, and welcoming. The food was delicious! We recommend the spear fishing tour with Job. It was fantastic and the lobster we caught was cooked by the chef at the restaurant. Heidi at the front desk was friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. Lance took care of us at the bar and out by the pool. He gave use great recommendations for local food spots and where to visit. Overall, I cannot recommend this resort enough and we will certainly be back to visit.

Great Family Time Together at beautiful hotel!
Fabulous trip with the family - our 4th time to Matachica (and third to Gaia). Beautful accomodations, wonderful staff who were all kind, friendly and accommodating. It was a great family time together with much to do or nothing to do but relax and enjoy its each other's company.

Fantastic! The total package of nature, accommodations, fantastic food and friendly staff.
Our family of five stayed at Matachica for seven nights over the New Year's holiday. Som of us snorkeled, did scuba diving, spearfishing and sea kayaking. Others merely relaxed on the loungers at the dock which extended out to the ocean and by the pool reading and chilling. The food at both restaurants is OUTSTANDING. I've never ever stayed at a resort where every meal was. so consistently delicious. The accommodations were wonderful and we had restful sleep. The staff goes above and beyond -- the concierge set us up for great excursions. We enjoyed getting to know Lance, Julio, Archie, Gustavo and so many more. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Jan 04, 2026Quiet Peaceful Resort
Stayed two nights. It was neatly decorated , peaceful and nice with a hammock on the front porch. Staff brings coffee each morning. You definitely get your zen here My first room “mandarin” was filled with flying insects all around my bed, nightstand, and couch. (They came twice to remove them ) I was told they don’t bite and it was normal to see so many. Second room, the “raspberry” was very nice and rarely any insects so that clearly wasn’t true. The staff was friendly except Heidi…… I walked through front desk twice behind two other couples and a single guest that did not look like me. They were all greeted expeditiously. I even went back to the lobby with me being the only guest just to see if it was an oversight…. I walked around the lobby seeking the restroom and she didn’t bother to look up…I did tell her about it and she apologized with the excuse “busy with checkouts and she didn’t see me” By the way the guest she greeted were not checking out just walking through to breakfast like me…..Then she made the comment to me “wasn’t I supposed to be at another resort” Wow! For context: (The other resort was less expensive but it got doubled booked so the owner was nice enough to book me here) I wouldn’t call this place luxury or costly justified. It is their idea of luxury. (I wasn’t seeking luxury on this solo trip either)….Overall it was nice. Peaceful and Quiet. Dear Heidi: I’m well traveled and have been at the best of the best hotels/resorts. This is an opportunity for you to be inclusive to all guests. I get that I stood out with only two brown guests being on the resort but that’s even more reason to be equally polite like your peers.

Laid-back luxury—that was just my style.
We enjoyed an amazing week at Matachica. Every single aspect was superior. The property is gorgeous. We were able to enjoy a few nights in a beachfront casita before moving to a sea breeze. Each of the rooms was vibrantly decorated, and the porch swings were delightful. With all of the small details, Matachica truly stands out. The morning coffee service and the turndown service with the adorable cloches of cookies…perfection The spa services were opulent and immensely soothing, and the housekeeping was flawless. Matachica really sets itself apart with all of the little touches. The coffee service in the morning and the darling little close shoes of cookies during turndown service. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the spa services were luxurious and incredibly relaxing. I spent a lot of time perusing the gorgeous travel photography books in the lobby. We enjoyed a few excursions with Captain Charlie and encountered an abundance marine life. Fish, dolphins, barracudas, sharks, marine turtles, and stingrays. It was unbelievable! The availability of sea kayaks to snorkel with the stingrays and clip on the buoy was fantastic. I also cannot overstate how wonderful the food and cocktails were. Each meal was excellent, colorful, creative, and fresh. We were informed that the owner's son is the exceptionally talented pastry chef. That pecan dessert will be in my dreams along with the little coiled roll of buttered pastry with a dash of pepper. The music at the restaurant was amazing! I was thrilled to receive the playlists. We deeply appreciate everyone who made the first week of the new year unforgettable. We are planning to return next year and stay a few nights on the sister property before heading back to Matachica because we were absolutely delighted with our trip and all the staff members we met.
