"I am just coming back from a quick 5 day stay at hotel Matias and below is my personal review of my stay.
Room
The room was nice and clean, was the caliber of room for a 4 star hotel. Me and my wife came for a quick few days honeymoon and we were welcomed with cava and a few little presents waiting for us which was a nice touch.
You have to pay for WiFi, safe and iron which I'm never a fan of in a 4 star plus hotel as these should be standard for this rating in all hotels. All the rooms have a beach view, we were technically the furthest room you can be from a sea view and It was still a beautiful view.
Facilities
Hotel has a restaurant, small pool and jacuzzi outside and a private gate giving you direct access to the beach. Hotel was clean, reception was always staffed and all the guests at the hotel seemed happy. We didn't use the pool as it is one of them you need to get up early to get a sunbed which we never did. Meal times were a bit of a pain, we struggled to make breakfast on time. Majority of guests were older British people so the hotel early opening times and struggles to get sunbeds were down to the fact their were a lot of people up and out by 9am. The evening activities always a had a tribute band or something on which were good quality.
Food and drink
Food was a tad disappointing, been to all different rated hotels over the years and I think the food is what I expect at 3 star hotels. Same breakfast everyday, standard full English, omelette bar and pastries and dinner was very English catered. It's not getting to Bendiorm style of simplicity but if your English I guarantee everything served you have eaten back home in the last month. We were talking to some people and staff who have been coming here for years and it sounds like the hotel just offers what they think English people want to eat, although a lot of guests were saying the food quality has gone down and majority of people tend to go out if you want to feel like you have eaten a proper meal.
We didn't drink in the hotel but bar looked ok. We got charged €3 for a small water at the hotel with dinner and no free water was offered. Again spending over double the rate you got for bigger bottles of water 10 metres from the hotel at what is ment to be a 4 star hotel does love a bitter taste in your mouth.
Staff
I generally believe staff here are what pushed this hotel to a 4 star, never a miserable face. Always go extra mile to help. We arrived late to the hotel and the staff were kind enough to wrap a bit of food up for us to eat on arrival. We also left late and the staff looked after us giving us dinner and shower facilities which they didn't have to do.
Local area to hotel
For where your staying location is really good, go one direction your getting a quieter vibe with better quality restaurants, the other way your 5 minute walk from the madness or magaluf strip. The stand out round here is the beach, really nice, clean beach, was surprised how much availability their was for a stretch of beach so nice. Day sunbed hire for 2 beds, parasol and small lock box was €22.50 which I deffintley reccomend. Plenty of shops, extremely clean. Felt safe and happy the whole time. I would say even though this is an adult only hotel I would not recommend under 16's to the area, is not catered for them. It was about 15 minutes and between €25-€30 to get to old town which I do recommend and 20 mins or so from airport making it a lovely short journey.
Overall
Personally I would say this is a 3 plus star hotel. For this area I can understand the 4 star rating, another island or mainland Spain this is 3 star. If you are staying for a short break, only care about easy access to the beach and it's good value I would recommend it. If it's costing a fair bit to stay here I would say look elsewhere. If you go to the hotel expecting 4 star you would be a bit disappointed, if you went to this hotel expecting 3 star, you would be pretty happy. It's definitely one of them."
