While these exclusive facilities are only for adults, some of these resorts open their facilities to the public. Of importance to note is that ‘adults-only’ means no children allowed. The minimum age permitted to stay at said hotels is 16 years and up.

Located five miles north of San Pedro Town, Matachica is an authentic getaway surrounded by tamed wildlife, natural beauty, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. The secluded, adults-only beach resort offers its guests their own beach house during their stay, each with their own private veranda and hammock.
