Chabil Mar Villas - Guest Exclusive Boutique Resort

My family of 6 stayed for 2 days in an oceanfront suite with loft. The concierge was great and helped coordinate dinner reservations when we arrived as well as a snorkeling day trip. In the evenings they were great about shuttling us to Placencia and back as well. All meals were great, though I do wish we would have tried out more local places. The convenience of the roaming butler service was just too hard to pass up. Plus Placencia seemed like more of a bar hopping town than family friendly so I wasn't crazy about being there at night time. Weather was too windy for water sports but we did jump off the dock some and really enjoyed the pools. I worried a lot about bugs and brought all kinds of lotions and sprays but we didn't have any big issues. My 4yo played in the sand a lot and never saw sand fleas. I didn't realize the villas were all connected to each other. Luckily we only had 1 night where we could hear our neighbors, the rest of the time it was very quiet. If you are renting with the loft make sure your kids are older. The ladder to get to the top is just that, a large, slippery ladder. My kids weren't crazy about it especially when they had to get up in the middle of the night. Overall a nice and relaxing time. I love that the resort was small, my older kids had freedom and we felt safe. Oh and all the iguanas on the property were a huge hit!

I went on a week long fishing trip with a friend. What a fabulous place to come back to after a hard day of fishing. The people are very friendly. Service was impeccable. What we enjoyed the most was the food and how it was served. You can enjoy your meal anywhere on the property, in your room, at the bar at the beach under a palapa. We had to fish early and they brought our breakfast to go every morning right on time. I will be staying here every time i visit Placencia.

Perfect place for a 4-generation family gathering! Beautiful setting, comfortable accommodations, delicious food, and incredibly friendly and accommodating staff who worked with us to schedule a snorkeling outing and a boat trip to Monkey River jungle. They also helped us arrange a lovely and unforgettable dinner celebration on their pier. We were there over New Year’s Eve and had a blast dancing and singing karaoke! The resort is an easy walk to grocery shops and the town of Placencia. Highly recommended.

Belize was hands down our best ever vacation and Chabil Mar met every expectation we had from having a personalized chalkboard welcome note on arrival to the friendly shuttle driver at departure! One of our favorite Chabil Mar experiences was dining at our chosen location each meal, from our villa’s dining room table , our porch tables , the beach and the pier we just loved the cozy feel of not going to a restaurant like all of our other all-inclusive travels! Staff took care of every detail for our excursions and the excursions were exceptional, not a single disappointment in the beauty of our surroundings, the friendliness of the people and the array of wildlife we saw. Housekeeping kept our rooms clean, the bar and wait staff kept our cups full and the groundskeepers keep the beach clean and the greenery amazing. We did have an issue with patio lights being on all night and making sleep difficult but when we presented our concern the staff immediately made things right. I really appreciated that we had a washer and dryer in our room, ample seating options on our porch and comfy beds. We cannot say enough good things about Chabil Mar, it was above and beyond what we expected , the staff was phenomenal. We definitely would love to go back.

The staff and grounds of Chabil Mar were perfect for our family. We spent a week and we felt well taken care of, safe and relaxed and would highly recommend to anyone. Our concierge, Nikita, was thoughtful and helped make our trip amazing. The food and drinks were all fresh, tasty and presented with a smile.

The facility is wonderful and the staff is most accomodating. The pools are well maintained and perfect. The guests were people with whom you might want to be friends. The villas themselves are gorgeous. If you go know that the chef meals are "OK" but probably best to go out to eat and to get some groceries because they are pricey. That being said it is difficult to beat the convenience of having a meal set up anywhere on the gorgeous grounds. Though Placencia is advertised as having great beaches... do not expect to walk in from the sand. The coast line at the resort if very rocky and when we were there the jellyfish made it daunting to swim off the dock In summary a gorgeous place to stay, phenomenal concierge for meal and trip planning . A wonderful place to immerse yourself in the local cultures.
