My husband and I stayed at Matachica for a week, the first week of January, to celebrate my birthday. We had an amazing time! The resort is beautiful and well maintained. Staff were all so friendly, helpful, and attentive. Shout outs to Lilian at the spa, Lance at the Tree bar, Julio, Jose, Gustavo, Josue, and Moses at the Mambo restaurants and bar! All the staff were outstanding and I wish I remembered everyone’s names. The only problem we had was our hot water heater going out but maintenance had it replaced within 2 hours. We will definitely return, Matachica is paradise!!

This is, hands down, the nicest resort I have ever been to. The staff and the location are what make this hotel the amazing place that it is. It is relatively easy to access while still feeling remote and peaceful. Even though the resort was fully booked, it felt like we were the only couple there. The staff took time to remember our preferences and make our experience personalized and special. It was worth every penny we paid. Grounds were clean. Food was amazing. Spa services were delightful. The ambience and vibes were tropical perfection without feeling hokey. We will absolutely be making it an annual vacation to this resort. I am counting the days till we return in 2027.

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.

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.

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!
