I had the most wonderful stay at Matices Hotel in Tequila, Mexico. From the moment I arrived, everything about the experience was amazing. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, extremely clean, and very well maintained. The attention to detail in every corner really adds to the charm and unique atmosphere of staying here. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help, making me feel truly cared for during my stay. The location is perfect for enjoying the magic of Tequila, and the overall experience was both relaxing and unforgettable. If you are looking for a special place to stay that combines comfort, cleanliness, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Matices Hotel. It’s an experience like no other—I can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It is such a unique property, and we had a great experience from the time we checked in until we left. We stayed two nights here, and it was perfect. They welcomed us with complimentary tequila shots and bottles of water at check in. The rooms were comfortable, with air conditioning, comfortable beds, and private bathrooms. Everything was very clean, and the property felt very safe. It’s about 10 minutes from the town by taxi, but there is a gate with guards that you go through to enter and exit. It was very quiet and we felt safe here. The property was beautiful! We booked directly through the hotel, and had no issues. Our stay came with complimentary breakfast both days (which was really good), a tour of their distillery (which we very much enjoyed), tequila tasting, and unlimited tequila shots offered in the lobby. We checked out their pool too which was really nice and refreshing, and even had a poolside bar. They have a restaurant in a cave on their property that we had dinner at one night, and service was a little slow, but the food was incredible! The staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed help getting taxis. Would definitely come back and stay here!

This place is amazing! They greeted us right when we pulled up, super friendly , got us checked in very quickly followed with a nice tequila shot in the lobby, then showed us our rooms and let me tell you! These rooms are super nice and clean. Good size and very comfortable beds. I highly recommended this place to stay. The tequila tour was very fun and informative.

Beautiful property!!! We stayed for 2 nights in late October. We were given the barrel called Gema. The barrel shaped rooms are quite the novelty but aren’t very spacious (do not recommend more than 2 adults honestly) and the lighting is poor both in the room and bathroom. Towels are very old- I highly recommend you bring your own. AC and mini fridge are available in the rooms which is very nice. Our tour guide through the Cofrade, (which I believe her name was Patricia), was very nice and engaging. The restaurant, La Taberna del Cofrade, food was mediocre and the service was slow despite the fact that there was barely anyone dining. Overall, we had a great time and I would recommend and stay here again!

This was without a doubt the coolest place we stayed in our three week trip to Mexico - incredible accommodation, great experiences, and friendly and helpful staff! Some of the negative reviews we read beforehand almost put us off but I'm so glad we ignored them and went ahead as this was a true highlight of the trip.

A fantastic stay in Tequila in the unique room concept in the barrel! Really well done with beautiful touches and they are so spacious and clean. A fun addition to our trip and we enjoyed the tequila tour & tasting.

This unique hotel provides unlimited Tequila to their guests. Breakfast and a tour of the distillery which is pretty artesanal. The cave restaurant is very cool, as well as their food and 1L Margaritas. The whole property has ducks everywhere because it was their original habitat before they built the hotel. Don’t hesitate on booking directly! Other places will have the price without the tour, breakfast or taxes. They will provide you with a contact for transportation and secure in/out to move between the town. Enjoy the town!
