Mata Rocks By Barefoot

My mother whom is 75 and myself stayed here and really enjoyed our stay! Javier and Ernesto, went above and beyond! They were welcoming, understanding, and very accommodating. You can tell they really want to make this place into something extraordinary, which shined through with their high-level of customer service. We felt welcomed, valued, and at home here. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place where they feel safe, valued, and respected. Plus, look at the view! They’re wrapping up construction and we’re excited to try their pickle ball courts when we return, plus their view once construction is completed (should be any day now) is going to be amazing! Book here :)

This place is a gem! Locally owned and recently renovated - the entire property is immaculate (pictures don’t do it justice). The beach bar serves strong delicious cocktails at great prices and the staff all go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and happy (James and Javier at the bar are the best - they kept the bar open 2 extra hours for us last night because we were having such a great time). It’s a little far from downtown but you can walk anywhere on the beach in 30 minutes. I actually liked being a little farther away because it’s really peaceful on this slice of beach. Also, the beds were SO COMFORTABLE. It felt like getting into a cloud.

Had a great stay! Bartenders James and Javier were amazing and made the trip more enjoyable. Fantastic service and conversation! Will definitely come back. Max the dog is a great part of the resort!

It’s clear this property is loved and well cared for. It’s a small operation, seeing the same staff everyday helped them get to know us. They helped with recommendations and setting up golf cart rental delivery. The pool is undergoing a renovation and should be done very soon, it looks like it’ll be nice. There is a dog that visits the bar named Max who is a very good boy. The room we stayed in was recently updated with modern features.

We stayed at Mata Rocks mid November 2025. Each of the guest rooms has an ocean view, ours also had a mini kitchen. The rooms have dark Belizian wood floors, comfortable beds, mini split for AC and a sliding door to a deck overlooking the pool. The staff at the hotel is top notch. They are friendly and helpful. Ernesto is the GM, email him regarding any question you have, and you'll get a prompt reply. The hotel is located in a quieter section, south of the main town. The hotel has a bar and restaurant, plus there are restaurants nearby (Robin's for local food and The Hidden Treasure were our favorites). There are two grocery stores nearby. There are dive boats leaving from docks within walking distance from the hotel.

We just left Mata Rocks after a week long trip. The resort is Newly renovated with an expanded bar and pool area. House keeping kept the rooms nice and clean. New sheets everyday. They are finishing up expanding the beach area and sea wall. I do wish we would have known about the construction before hand, however Xavier and James really made the trip with their recommendations and conversations. Pull up, have a seat and talk to some local. You will have a great time!

Had the appetizers and great service during my recent visit to Belize. Great servers and friendly conversation 🙂. Didn't stay at the hotel. I was just walking by and tried the bar at the suggestion of a family member that lives on the island.

Mata Rocks was amazing. Javier is a pro! Food is off the hook thanks to the great chef. If you are staying in San Pedro, Mata Rocks is the place to be.
