-The most disappointing part of our stay was the Sargassum algae bloom that collected on the waterfront making it an eyesore and smelling the air like rotten eggs. -The facility looked worn and used. A fresh coat of paint, especially around the pool area, would make it look much more appealing. -We only had two spoons for 3 occupants. -There were no cutting knives to help prepare food. We requested a cutting knife but no one gave us one.

We liked the A/C, which was quite strong and the view. Overlooking the pool, bar area and the ocean was quite pleasant. The staff were nice.

Room 15–Very small for 2 guests comfortably. The curtains and wall hanging looked like they needed either cleaned or replaced. Pool wasn’t very clean, no fault of the pool keeper. He didn’t seem to have proper equipment. Our BIGGEST dislike was the local pickleball players who met every day at 8am like clock work. Paying guests should not have to endure the noise!

Property was nicely kept. The bar/restaurant was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and wonderful.

Bar/Kitchen out of many items pretty much every day - not the end of the world though! Would have been nice to have some lounge chairs around the pool - they were all on the beach. I'm sure I could have asked staff to help me move one - they were all very friendly and accommodating!

Friendly staff, great recommendations, clean facility, Javier, Myrna & Brian were all great. Location was just south of town - a short golf cart ride.

Our microwave didn't work and there's no phone in the room to contact the front desk if needed. The microwave was replaced very quickly after we made staff aware of the issue.

I loved our view and all of the helpful staff.

My arrival to Belize was after the ferry closed and the air flights from Belize to San Pedro was closed also. So I had to stay overnight in Belize at the Best Western Hotel. I had reservations at the Mata Rock Resort from Monday to Friday. I was charged for Monday even though I was not able to check in till Tuesday. That was a large disappointment for me to pay for a day that was not a stay and out of my control and the Resort had a big vacancy during that week.

Good breakfast good location.

It was a little tired but for the price, amazing. The property has just been sold and the Restaurant ran out of essentials but there are so many gear choices for eating this was not a big problem. The wonderful staff, more than made up for the owners.

Fabulous location and great value for money. The Staff were amazing.

Hearing the pickle ball courts and people playing early in the mornings, would be the only negative if your room is situated near it. Wifi does not work in the rooms, but the signal is stronger outside of the rooms and the restaurant/bar and on the balcony.

Feels like a family. Staff are very close and get to know each person staying at the property and are very friendly and welcoming. The pool and beach are are wonderful and the room was lovely with an ocean view. Javier, the bartender makes exceptional drinks and is very professional, in a fun and welcoming way. The staff all around, in all positions, work as a team, and ensure guests have the best stay. And we certainly did. We feel like we made friends for a lifetime at this hotel and are already planning our next stay at Mata Rocks. We loved that bikes, paddle boards, kayaks and pickle ball courts are available and included in the stay. As well, they have paid and fast laundry service too. The chefs make the best food! I highly recommend eating at the hotel, or eating at the inexpensive taco stand across from the hotel after 6pm…so good! We can’t wait to go back and stay at this property! The locals at nearby apartments and hotels all flock to this property for the great and genuine vibes. The atmosphere is intoxicating and so welcoming.

We understand that the property is up for sale. Evidently, the owners are not wanting to spend any expenditures on repairing items. The cable equipment wasn't working. The cable box was replaced, but Evidently, there was something wrong with the replacement. There was something wrong with the blinds on one of the entry windows. A curtain or a shower curtain was hung over the window. What looked like a smoke detector bracket was missing the smoke detector. The 3 table stools are very unsafe and only have 3 legs on them. They are top heavy, which makes them unsafe to sit on them. We had a staff member bring us some chairs to sit on.

Staff was great. They were very helpful and outgoing

I didn’t like the lack of privacy. My room faced the pool and the restaurant so if I sat outside, I was sitting with everyone.

The food was great, the staff were awesome and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable

Beach isn’t actually a beach! It’s concrete with sand dumped on top and a harbour wall

Lovely room

Hob in our room was faulty, we reported on arrival but nothing was done. Beach isn’t really a beach. It has a harbour wall and sand on top of a concrete base.

Great staff, gorgeous room

The property have a lot of potential but is in need of upkeep. The floor tiles in the bed room are loose, counter in the kitchen could use some paint and the door to the room doesn’t close properly. The property in general does not not correspond with the price charged for the rooms. We spoke to several guests who were disappointed about the standard of the rooms and the property and the amount paid for their stay compared to other hotels in the area. All staff was welcoming.

The room had a nice bed and a small kitchen and a balcony.

The Pool is a little sad and if you're expecting to center your stay around pool time, you won't be happy with the pool. It's small, shallow, and there are not chaises around it. Also, the wifi was quite spotty in our rooms. It always worked great outside at the bar/ restaurant or even just by the pool, but sometimes it didn't work at all in the rooms, and other times it was fine in the rooms. Neither of these things bothered us much at all. We weren't there for the pool or the wifi.

We were very pleased with our stay at Mata Rocks. We had friends staying at the Victoria House which is essentially the next resort over and much more pricey. They didn't have room but we were thrilled with our decision. We saved money and loved Mata Rocks. It is super clean, the beds are very comfortable, although we only ate breakfast there, it was really really good. Everyone was beyond nice, we LOVED the pickle ball courts, and the location at the south end of the island (and next to the pricier Victoria House) is the best on the island. Also, there is a new Argentine restaurant essentially across the street that is absolutely delicious, really stand out, special food. We were a group of foodies from NY and LA and all said if it was a restaurant in NY or LA it would be one of our favorites. If you're looking for a nice, comfortable, safe, clean, friendly place in a great location this is your spot.

No fridge in the room. Weak WiFi in rooms but good out on the deck. Only allowed one beach towel at a time. Would like to have coffee machine in the room rather than wait until after 7am for someone to start the automatic drip pot at the bar.

Water views, good room size and very comfortable beds and pillows. Easy access up and down the beach. Walk to town in 15 minutes. Very friendly staff.
