Our stay at chabil mar was incredible. The resort was immaculate and quiet. It has two beautiful pools and a quaint dock. The beach was kept up very nicely. The resort was maybe a kilometer away from Placencia but they offered a free hourly shuttle and complimentary bikes. We were even able to kayak into town on the free kayaks! The resort might be a bit pricey but for the luxury it was definitely worth it. Excellent place for weddings! They have very big rooms with well appointed kitchens.

Vacation at Chabil Mar
My room furniture was too dark, and the curtain did not fully close. The carpet was a hazard. The staff service was excellent. There were too many trees. I felt like I was in the jungle.

Response from Guest Services Manager on Sep 8, 2023
Hello, Lesbia. We do appreciate and welcome all feedback. We thank you for that. We do, however, wonder why you referred to your "room" which is actually a Villa with a full sized kitchen and living area in addition to your bedroom. Surely there are times when a guest does not care for their Villa furnishings, but the Villa you were in has cream colored furnishings in the Living Room and at the kichen counter. The bed headboard is also creamed color, though the bed side tables are mahogony. So, we are quite confused by these negative comments. With regard to the curtain you are referencing and the carpet, our GM is personally inspecting those to be certain they continue to meet our high standards. I wish I could attach some photos to this reply referencing the jungle landscape at Chabil Mar, which is lush and represents all of Belize, while making certain that every Villa has a clear view of the beach, sea and our private pier. You had a view of the beach and sea directly from your personal veranda and we encourage all potential visitors to Chabil Mar to view the many photos on our website to see that everyone of our 22 Villas has a view of the sea. Some are Seafront while other are seaview, but even ground floor Villas, which yours was, have a view of the sea and beach. We stand by the natural beauty of Belize represented at Chabil Mar Villas, which our grounds crew has proudly maintained for over 15 years.

My husband and I cannot say enough about what an incredible stay we had at Chabil Mar Villas! They truly roll out the red carpet for their guests. Our villa and the grounds were meticulously maintained and clean. The pools, the pier, the beach, and our porch were all ideal spots to hang out and enjoy the day. We explored restaurants in town, but decided that our favorite was Cafe Mar - the on-site restaurant. They delivered drinks and food wherever we were on the property. The drinks from the bar were all freshly made with high end liquor. They set up multiple excursions for us that were a ton of fun and the shuttle service to and from the airport and into town in the evenings was a great bonus. They bent over backwards to make our stay special and it showed in everything they did. We truly had a 5 star experience. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Resort. Staff was more than excellent. Natalie checked us in and let us change to a better view room at no charge. Large 1 bedroom villa with ocean view. Big kitchen fully stocked. Pools were lovely. Perfect water temp. Room service food the first night was good. Had the lobster pasta. Last couple of days we ordered food and it wasn't quite as good as that first night. We cooked most of our meals or ate in town. Lots of restaurant choices in town.

Chabil Mar was amazing in every way! The grounds are gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the beach and pools are lovely, the staff is friendly and helpful. Bikes, kayaks, corn hole, etc are free. The food is pretty good, but it's fun to go into Placencia for dinner at various restaurants. Chabil Mar has a shuttle to town in the evenings, which is great, but Placencia is also close enough to walk or bike to.

We're sorry that you felt the menu was limited since you didn't eat seafood, however, every dining time, from breakfast, to lunch and dinner do have multiple meat and non meat menu items to choose from. We, of course, are very focused on providing the best service and amenities in the tourism business and your comments are being shared with our Chef for his review. Thank you for offering your positive feedback and so glad you enjoyed the quiet amenities at Chabil Mar. Since we are boutique and guest exclusive (not open to the general public) providing entertainment is not an option since we have a maximum of 40 persons on site at any given time and the local entertainment in Placencia Village, five minutes away is easily accessible by walking along the beach of bike in 5 minutes and we also provide complimentary evening shuttles. Thank you for your recommendation, Bryan.

Such a wonderfully relaxing time at Chabil Mar!
The property is sparkling! The staff, though, is what truly made our stay so very relaxing. Every staff member had a ready smile and a warm greeting. They were keen to help with whatever we needed, and cheerful in doing so. Everyone working here seems cross-trained so that they can each jump in at a moment's notice to make sure we were comfortable. If they needed to confer with someone else, that took only a moment before the right person was there to help. William, in particular, was enthusiastic and helpful as our beach captain. He had our gear ready and helped us master the use of the kayaks and paddle boards. We noticed, too, that while were out on the water, life jackets on, William keep one eye on the water to know we were ok. That did not go unnoticed! The wait staff, and room staff, and front desk, and shuttle driver.... everybody was warm and welcoming. And NOT in that "employee" way. It was more like they were all genuinely happy that we were there. We will be back!

It is very nice to hear how much your enjoyed our dining amenities, though unique as they are to resorts and hotels anywhere. Our philosophy has always been, be exclusive and let our guests tell us in which environment they choose to dine for any of their meals.

Everything was great except that we did not have a Sea View Villa as we paid for, we had a pool view and at best maybe a partial sea view through the trees and tables and other hanging items that obstructed the view. We received a message in reply to other review that the resort would work with ya directly on the issue however they never said anything to us, including upon checkout. The other thing is that housekeeping kept turning off the air conditioners when they would clean the rooms so when we got back at the end of an excursion or a day in the village the room instead of being cool as we had hoped after a long day, it was warm and we had to wait for the ac to start getting the temperature back down again.

Hello, Anonymous. We thank you for choosing Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia Village for your Belize vacation. We have both Seaview and Partial Seaview Villas as you know. Seaview, which are on the second floor are seafacing, overlooking the pools, to the beach and the Caribbean. The Partial Seaviews are on the first floor, also facing the Caribbean. Our Seafront Villas are directly on the beach. We have titled our Seaview and Partial Seaview Villas as we have done, since they are not directly on the beach, but they do have views of the Caribbean, but from different levels. I understand from our General Manager that he did speak with you while you were with us about the location of the accommodation types that we offer. I hope you found that the A/C systems in our Villas cooled the air within in about ten minutes upon your return. We do try to maintain as much reasonable ecological control and use of our A/C as possible without impacting our guests enjoyment and comfort since each Villa has individually guest controlled A/C units in each room of the Villa. We attempt to be ECO friendly in all of our environments. We apologize if you were uncomfortable upon your immediate return to your Villa.

Thank you for 5 Star review of Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia, Belize. We thank you for choosing Chabil Mar for your Belize vacation. So glad to hear that you enjoyed the amenities. Our General Manager has been alerted to your comments regarding the bed sheets. We use 400 thread count bed sheets so we will be looking into the reasons why they could have been rough. Our chef, Daniel, has expressed his concern about your comments regarding the food. While we have had most guests very pleased with our menu and the quality, presentation and settings of our dining service, again, we take these comments very seriously so we are meeting our objective of providing the best cuisine in Placencia. We do hope you will visit with us once again. We also hope that you took advantage of our location a five minute bike ride or beach walk to the Village to sample some of the dining options there as well.

Wonderful small boutique resort
We spent 3 nights at this wonderful resort. If we had the time, we would have stayed longer. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The concierge is happy to help with a big smile. The view from the room was spectacular. Rooms are spacious and well furnished. Placencia village is an easy walk either from the beach or main road. No need to rent a car. We very much enjoyed our first visit to Belize and Chabil Mar was the right choice. We highly recommend it.

Thank you so very much for your review. So happy to hear that you love Chabil Mar and our staff's service. Have a great Belize vacation in Placencia. Oh, and be sure to head into town. Just a five minute bike ride! Plenty of local culture and fun things to do. Just ask any staff about using one of our complimentary bicycles or walk down the beach. Tutti Fruiti gelato is awesome, by the way.
