Placencia is still a growing beach community, so we were expecting less than what we find in most beach communities------this place exceeded our expectations in EVERY way! Each unit is individually owned---NOT a time share. They had great linens, comfortable furniture (including sofas!) completely outfitted kitchens and the washer/dryer was a godsend at this point in our trip. The management... More

The pools, the rooms, the views, the food, the gardens... everything about Chabil Mar exceeded my expectations. This resort was very quiet when we stayed (the week before lobster season). All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It only has 22 villas so it is pretty much impossible for it to be crowded. The place really felt like... More

Very personable service and the resort setting is lovely. All on property meals were delicious and that's saying a lot coming from a foodie! If you want a break in the resort food, the town of Placencia is five minutes away. Quite even though the villas are in a tight setting. The grounds are perfectly groomed with lush vegetation. The...

We just returned from a week at Chabil Mar, and we are already planning our return trip! Shane and Tiffany were outstanding and went out of their way to ensure our stay was wonderful. The staff quickly learned our names and were very attentive to all of our needs and wants. We had a minor mishap with scheduling, so we... More

From beginning to end, the staff was exceptional. They unexpectedly picked us up at the airport and returned us when we were ready to leave. The staff met us with drinks and delivered our luggage. While at the property they were genuinely friendly and met our needs and wants. On the day we needed to check out, we went on... More

I just returned from a fantastic trip to beautiful Chabil Mar. We stayed in villa 20 which was right on the ocean. We often sat on the balcony overlooking the sea and enjoyed the sounds of the water lapping at the shore. The villa had lots of room to spread out with a fully stocked kitchen, a dining area, and...

A couple of friends and I were only there for two nights, but during that time the staff was SO accommodating. Shawn, "Lacho," and Junior especially stood out in my mind, but everyone was very friendly. We only ate two meals there, and both were very good. The room, pools, and grounds were very clean. Every time we needed to... More

My husband and I spent three nights at Chabil Mar. It's a lovely hotel. We were very impressed by the well manicured grounds and extremely friendly staff. The rooms themselves are nice but they are nothing special. I would expect more luxurious finishings and a king sized bed (not queen) for a room that costs $350/night. I would consider staying...
