Chabil Mar Villas - Guest Exclusive Boutique Resort

This was our 2nd time staying at Chabil Mar and we loved it just as much as the first. The villas are beautiful with large terraces, so spacious and well-stocked with extremely comfortable beds and excellent linens. Excellent on-site food and drinks that they will deliver to you anywhere on the property you request. The gardens are immaculate and lush. Location to us is perfect. Just on the edge of the village. Takes 5-7 minutes to get to the Placencia sidewalk when you walk along the beach. Shuttles run regularly from 4 pm to 10 pm so you can grab one from anywhere in Placencia to return you to Chabil Mar. Best part is the staff - they bend over backwards to help you with anything you need. Smiling, helpful and professional. Top notch all around. We will be back!

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.

I was at Chabil Mar Villas in Placencia Village, Belize, for a wedding, and honestly, it was incredible. The team made the whole 3-day event feel effortless—they went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Every little detail was handled, and they were always ready with solutions if anything came up. The hospitality was next level, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making the experience a memorable one. If you're looking for a gorgeous spot where the staff truly has your back, this is it!

Chabil Mar is a wonderful place to stay in Placencia with the loveliest staff. I didn't realize this, but the villas are all privately owned, and the staff manage the units for the owners. Just a fun fact. Our experience there was second to none. The staff was sooooo accommodating and helpful at every turn. We were traveling with family friends and one of the kids got sick. The staff was super attentive and arranged for him to see a doctor and get antibiotics. They checked in on the family regularly. The property is also gorgeous. There are two pools that are good sized. Perfect for our 10yo to have a blast for hours. And the beach is right there. The food was also quite good. The hotel is also a short distance to the main part of Placencia which was super convenient. We walked on afternoon (about 20 mins) and then opted to rent a golf cart from the hotel for a day so we could go back and forth. There's also a nice coffee shop close by the hotel that has lots of drinks and snacks. Our villa was a 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with a full kitchen and washer/driver. It was fantastic. We are a family of 4 and there was more than enough room for all of us. Plus, there was a hammock on our balcony where we could just lounge and enjoy the sounds of Belize. I would HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone visiting Placencia!

We stayed at Chabil Mar Villas for one week in September. Come to find out September is their low season so, we had the resort almost exclusively to ourselves. We stayed in Villa 11 which is close to the bar and one of the two pools. The room was equip with everything you would need. We had a king size bed, full kitchen, ocean view and a wrap around deck. Umberto and Omar were our bartenders for most of the week. They both could make excellent drinks and were very attentive to us. The concierge was very helpful in making our arrangements for our tour of the Monkey River and the rental of the golf cart. Lacho was the shuttle bus driver for us and showed us all around the town of Plascencia. He gave us recommendations for good restaurants to visit. The staff at Chabil Mar Villas are all very attentive and try to make you feel like you are at home. The resort does not have a dedicated restaurant for you to go and eat in. They will bring your food to any place in the resort for you to enjoy. The beach at Chabil Mar Villas is not the best. There are big slippery rocks at the edge for erosion control. So it is a bit difficult to get into the ocean. The water is very warm but not clear at all. So we spent most of the time in the pool. The pools needed some work but, they will be working on them while they close down for one month. I would definitely recommend this resort for how well the staff treats you. Thank you for all of your hospitality.

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.
