Mata Rocks Resort

Reserved a room using Booking.com, which included free cancelation. I assumed that my card would have been refunded immediately as is normally the case. Especially considering I made the reservation months in advance and the cancellation was made 4 days after the initial booking. Unfortunately, it wasn't. So I've had to spend a bunch of time dealing with the charge. Definitely wouldn't bother staying here if I ever return to San Pedro.

Downright gross. The floor was so dirty we couldn’t walk barefoot. The night stands hadn’t been dusted in weeks, dog hair and liquid splatters 🤢. The perfume smell of chemicals was so overpowering we had to sleep with the door open. The little outdoor bar was closed the two days during our stay. And their beach wasn’t cleaned up at all. I understand island trash and that it’s tropical storm season, but just no pride of ownership here. Oh yeah, and WiFi wasn’t working either.

Cozy hotel away from the crowds of San Pedro. Relax by the cabana bar that serves good Belizean breakfast and other bar food during the day. Pool needs some updates and the beachfront needs maintenance after recent storm Sara

Pros: friendly staff, room was overall clean and had no weird smells that you usually get with oceanfront hotels. The mini fridge had a decent size freezer and there were a few plates and bowls and general kitchen supplies. There are a few little grocery stores nearby and it was nice to have coffee and water on hand. A guy comes in the morning to rake the sand and maintain the grounds. You can tell they are trying to make what they have nice. ||Cons: The resort is pretty run down. My shower knob was broken, balcony table was broken. The first time I tried to use the balcony blinds they broke and I was afraid to use them again. |Most rooms have balconies facing the pool/bar area. So if there are people down there partying late it’s impossible to ignore. But when the downstairs is empty it was very peaceful - just depends on how busy the hotel is. Out of my 4 nights only 1 had a rowdy group downstairs - but I’m a very early riser and my bedtime reflects that. ||Overall it was a very quiet, peaceful hotel, but you are quite isolated. I didn’t rent a golf cart but instead elected to walk along the beach to find places to eat.

The word resort in their name is a stretch. It is a very run down and outdated facility. Staff was nice but did not always follow through. The pool did not look like a place you would want to swim. The room was clean. The patio door would not open, the front door had a curtain nailed to it for privacy. We picked this place due to friends stayung here years ago, but it has obviously changed. One of the workers told us a new owner is going to remodel in the next couple of months.

This hotel was absolutely perfect. The ambiance makes you feel like you are staying at a boutique resort; relaxation meets luxury. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. I love the floral arches and beach vibe. Dorell at the front desk was amazing. So helpful and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. The beach views from our room were gorgeous. The restaurant/bar and pool area is perfect. This hotel offers complimentary bikes, paddle boards and kayaks. We used the kayaks and it was a great way to explore the area.|The hotel is towards the south end of the island, which offered a quiet escape from the bustling north end. By golf cart, it took approx. 5 minutes to the airport, and about 10 the main beach/restaurant strip.

Cons: Air blew nice and cold, bed was very comfortable. Bad parts pool didn't look good, no way to swim in pool or the ocean, ocean way too muddy. Had to ask for towels every day. One day someone called in so they didn't make coffee for the guests.

The hotel was showing its age, but was old in a homey sort of way. The bed was comfortable and housekeeping kept the room clean and well stocked. The hotel was experiencing a change in ownership while we were there, so there were a couple of hiccups in food availability. Service in the restaurant was excellent, and the front desk attendants went out of their way to make our stay worth remembering. I have since heard that the new owners are making some substantial improvements, including expanding the size of the pool (which was also kept spotless). A Mom-and-Pop taco stand went up across the street every day and that, along with the ice cream parlor next door to it, more than made up for the temporary food issues. We would definitely stay there again!
