Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The word suite does not appear – and that is not a limitation but a question of vocabulary.
The Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye has eight categories, and they are called villa, casita and room. Search the page for suites and you find nothing.
The floor areas tell another story. The largest category measures 232 square meters, the second largest 172. That is more than most suites in European cities – and these are free-standing hotels on the beach, not room sequences inside a building.
Below them it drops sharply: 70 square meters in the Luxury Room by the water and 46 in the smaller categories.
Our advice: do not go by the name here, go by the size. Between 46 and 232 square meters lies the entire difference in this property – and the two large categories pay off above all if you are arriving as a group or staying longer.
Tell our travel advisors how much space you need. With eight categories that is settled in one sentence.
Where to Stay on Ambergris Caye: the Beach North of San Pedro
Ambergris Caye is long and narrow, and nearly everything happens along the east coast.
The island's only town is San Pedro in the south, with its piers, its boats and the golf carts that run here instead of cars.
North of it the coast turns quieter, and that is where the properties on the beach are. Our recommendation: the Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye.
For orientation: the Belize Barrier Reef lies off the east coast and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley are south of the island and reached by boat. And the Great Blue Hole, the round crater in the sea, can be seen on a day trip by boat or by plane.
Villas, Casitas and Rooms: The Property from the Inside
The Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye has eight categories, and their names say more about the island than about hotel-keeping: they are called villa, casita and room.
The largest is a Luxury Villa by the water at 232 square meters; a second measures 172. Below them come a Luxury Room by the water at 70 and several categories of 46 square meters each.
On views there is one motif, and it is the reason for the island: the sea. The categories that face it directly carry it in their names.
Tell our travel advisors whether you want to be on the water or set back a little.
What a Night on Ambergris Caye Costs
A night at the Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye costs 366 €. The suitespot benefits apply from two nights.
| Luxury hotel | From | suitespot benefits from |
|---|---|---|
| Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye | 366 € | 2 nights |
When it is at its best: from December to April. That is the dry season with the clearest water – and the best visibility below the surface.
When it is quieter: in May and June. The sea is already warm, the piers are empty, and prices sit below high season.
When to book early: over Christmas, New Year and during the American spring break. In those weeks the island is booked months ahead, and with one property that means very early.
How long to stay: five nights. Two for the reef, one for a trip to the Maya sites on the mainland, one for San Pedro – and one with nothing planned.
The benefits apply here from two nights; with this journey that is no hurdle.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Reef, Boats and Exclusive Services in a 5-Star Hotel
What our travel advisors arrange most often on Ambergris Caye is the day at the reef: Hol Chan Marine Reserve is a cut through the reef where the fish gather, and in Shark Ray Alley beside it nurse sharks and rays swim so close to the boats that you see them from the edge.

And the food: grilled fish with rice and beans, the country's everyday dish; conch ceviche in season; fry jacks for breakfast; and the Marie Sharp's sauces from Belize that sit on every table.
A stay at the Matachica Resort Ambergris Caye includes breakfast for two, a hotel credit of 50 US dollars, an upgrade subject to availability, a late check-out.
You redeem the credit at the property. On an island where you move between beaches by boat or golf cart, that is worth more than in a city with restaurants on every corner.
