Mata Chica Beach Resort
Mata Chica Beach Resort is a beautiful new masterpiece to stay in the Caribbean. Luxury splendor awaits...
|
More Info:
Each of the fourteen private air-conditioned villas, including two 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom Luxury Villas, represent a different tropical fruit hand painted by Lionel Dumas, such as mango, papaya, watermelon or blueberry, to name a few. You will feel the delicious taste of the color enhanced by all the earthy furniture and blankets derived from Central America, as well as the bathroom which gives you the sensation of taking a shower in the jungle.
Our majestic lobby is designed with elegance and style for your Comfort capturing the diversity of our library, while sinking into one of our exotic sofa beds draped in the finest fabrics from around the world.
The carefully selected music flows from a superior sound system into the vast Mambo dining room, filled with contemporary paintings, candelabras, ceramic treasures, exotic hand crafted Belizian art and mahogany furniture.
Our Mambo restaurant is already a sensation and a true success. Our Italian chef prepares daily exquisite International cuisine and a variety of homemade pastas and breads, as well as picking fresh spices and vegetables from our own garden.... Quite a dining experience!
The atmosphere of Mata Chica is very much in harmony with the surrounding sea and palms. At the same time it is contemporary and luxurious. The crystal clear waters and the gentle ocean breeze of the Caribbean will fill your soul with a sense of freedom and relaxation. We are very fortunate to have what many consider to be the finest pearly white beach along the coast of Ambergris Caye.
At our resort the morning begins with fresh squeezed tropical fruit juice and a steaming cup of Belizean coffee. After breakfast life continues along the Barrier Reef.
Nearby Attractions:
Whether its relaxing in a lounge chair or hammock, getting a massage, or shopping in San Pedro's Charming Barefoot village where English is the official language.
Other options are snorkeling off our pier or swimming with an amazing array of beautifully colored fish at the Hol Chan marine reserve. Right next door you will have the unique opportunity to swim with nurse sharks and stingrays.
For the adventurous, a trip to the unusual "Blue Hole" or a wildlife jungle excursion, river trips to Mayan Ruins, and even luminescent night dives. Fish the flats for Tarpon and the elusive Bonefish or Deep Sea fishing for Marlin and Sailfish. All of this and much more can be made from our office.
Enjoy relaxing, rejuvenating massage and spa treatments just steps from the Caribbean sea. The secluded jade spa surrounds you with soothing smells, colors, and sounds. You're invited to take a dip in the Jacuzzi before or after your treatments ensuring you leave with a new sense of balance and harmony.

"Quite a dining Experience"
"Ambergris Caye has the biggest choice of restaurants and resorts. One of the newest and most stylish is Mata Chica. As we approached it by boat, the berry coloured villas were reminicent of Gaugin's Tahitian paintings.
"With the openings of Mata Chica Beach Resort and its Mambo Cuisine Restaurant, Belize is making a quantum leap in becoming known for its cuisine ."
Conde Naste, Magazine UK Edition, 1998
" With freshly baked bread and exquisite international dishes seasoned with home grown spices, Mambo Cuisine is one of the best restaurants at San Pedro's beach side. Overlooking the world famous coral barrier reef, Mambo Cuisine is acclaimed for its fresh Italian specialties. As part of the Mata Chica Beach Resort, Mambo Cuisine is always lively and ready for those in search of the Belizean Adventure. it is no surprise that Sol y Luna advisory board selected Mambo Cuisine as one of the best restaurants in Belize and Central America. The food is exquisite and memorable, the wines superb and the company always friendly."
Central America Sol y Luna Guide, 1998
" Mambo, the dining room of the Mata Chica Beach Resort and Ambergris Caye's top restaurant, with superb food and wine and a classy romantic atmosphere. Italian owner, Nadia, in charge of cooking, makes her own pasta. The menu changes daily but its always fabulous; try the exquisite home-made fettuccini or the original paella "
Belize, The Rough Guide
"One thing that cannot improve at Mata Chica is its cuisine". Food and love are the most important things in the world," says the warm and exuberant Italian owner, Nadia Taricco and she means it. "The variety and delectability of the meals served reflects the care and expertise that go into their preparation, particularly the seafood and pasta. the soaring majestic and cosmopolitan palapa dining room has charming decorative touches, like sea-shells used as salt and pepper shakers."
Fodor's Guide, 1998

Caribbean Travel Tip
Preparation for Your Trip
Start Early. If a passport is required for you to enter the country where you are planning to travel, apply for it as soon as possible.
Learn about the countries you plan to visit. Before departing, read up on the culture and people for the places you will travel.
As you travel, keep abreast of local news coverage. If you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, if you will be staying more than two weeks in an area, or if you are going to a place where communications are poor, you are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Registration takes only a few moments, and it may be invaluable in case of an emergency. Remember to leave a detailed itinerary and the numbers of your passport or other citizenship documents with a friend or relative in the United States.
For up-to-date travel information on any country in the world that you plan to visit, obtain the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet. This covers topics such as entry regulations, the crime and security situation, drug penalties, and location of the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate or consular agency.
The Department also issues Travel Warnings and Public Announcements. A Travel Warning advises travelers not to go to a country because of dangerous conditions and/or U.S. government's ability to assist a U.S. citizen in distress there is severely limited. A Public Announcement is issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions which would pose significant risks to the security of American travelers.
