This was our fourth time down to Placencia and our first at Chabil Mar, and we LOVED IT beyond what any words can say. The grounds are spectacular, the pools are pristine, it’s in an ideal part of Placencia town - far enough to have peace and quiet but close enough t walk to EVERYTHING in town - the rooms were amazing (my family rented three separate villas), and the staff...OH MY GOD, THE STAFF ARE THE BEST EVER! Every single person we met on staff I feel like I can now call a friend: Sheldon, Nikita, Jordan, Nathalie, Ferdinand, Daniel, Oscar, Donas, Chris, and so many more, THANO YOU for making our family trip so magical in every way. We didn’t have to lift a finger or think, and after a very long year with exceptional family health issues, this trip was just what the doctor ordered. There is no question we will return. What a true gem in every way! …

Hello, Begley! Wow, so great to meet you and you family. Thank you for choosing Chabil Mar this time for this family get-a-way. As they say, four times are a charm! :-) Oh, yes, that's three times, but anyway, we are happy to hear that Chabil Mar is your number 1 choice for now on in Placencia. That is very special to us. Thank you for all of our staff and the special mentions. We are so proud of them. Time and time again they are singled out in our reviews and that helps us and them know how much they are appreciated. We look for a repeat visit sometime. In the meantime, wishing all of your family from all of your Belize family here at Chabil Mar a wonderful 2021! Cheers!

Hotel's Favorite
I am reluctant to write this review since I don’t want to compete with others booking my slot for me next family vacation to Chabil Mar. This place is absolutely amazing. First and foremost, Chabil Mar is located in Placencia which is about 2 ½ drive from Belize City or 30 minute puddle jumper airplane. Transportation is widely available land or air. Where do I start… 1- This is a small resort where you find or feel that the servicing staff is almost 1 to 1 for every guest. Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating. Example… We took in some sun too much one day and the staff noticed the same (we didn’t ask). The staff picked a fresh Aloe stalk from their onsite landscaping to rub on the burns. 2- Food is amazing and cooked to order. It’s not out of the ordinary to see the staff picking herbs or fruits grown on the property to go into the meal or your drinks (Can’t get any fresher than that). 3- Property is calm, peaceful and tranquil with no riff raff. 4- Views are spectacular from the property which has a deck right on the water. You can eat any meal on there. 5- I’m a fisherman and ended up fishing off the dock every morning and night. They have 4-5 foot tarpon mixed in with some barracuda hanging around the deck lights at night. Staff will direct you to a place in town where you can pick up a cheap fishing pole and gear (e.g. $30 US). 6- There are various toys that are completely included in your stay which include bikes for strolls into town, Kayaks (single and double) and snorkel gear (which is quite nice view in the blue water). 7- The hotel rents golf carts which is primary mode of transportation in town. If you want a break from the peace of Chabil Mar 8- There are two pools located on site which are infinity overlooking the Caribbean. 9- Short distance into Placencia village which you can either walk, drive, bike, golf cart or just ask the staff and they will take you via shuttle for free. 10- Rooms are very nice and all unique equipped with everything to include stove, oven, microwave, full sized refrigerator, comfortable beds and daily cleaning service. Security – Placencia is very safe with my family taking many midnight strolls on the beach into town. Chabil Mar adds another layer of safety by having a guard walk the beach all day and night. As indicated, I did a lot of fishing from the dock and the security guards were not always visible but were great resources of where the fish are. There is really no comparison with this place as Belize is considerably different than other popular locations such as Mexico. This place can be taken in with your own pace whereas some other “all-inclusive or like” properties treat their guest like huge herds of cattle with buffets, activities and thousands of people on the property. Lets put it this way, I have been going to Chabil Mar religiously over the past 3 years and see the same staff members and often find other repeat guest that vacation with us around the same time. This place will not disappoint.…

You won't regret coming to Belize and staying at Chabil Mar. Villas are spacious, quiet, and comfortable; staff are extremely friendly and helpful. As things reopen from COVID, everyone is extremely appreciative of our tourism as well. Easy walk, bike or golf cart ride to town where you can snorkel or dive, grab a bit, get souvenirs, and sample some great gelato. The beach and pools at Chabil Mar are lovely if you. just want a quiet day without a tour or hike. We can't recommend Chabil Mar enough!

Hello, RafandCarla. So glad to hear how much you enjoyed Chabil Mar and took advantage of our location near the Village. It's nice to have the quiet, i.e. Relax at Chabil Mar and then Recharge, by going to the Village whenever you want that vibe. Oh yes . . . the gelato. Awesome, right?

We just returned from a great vacation in Belize and Chabil Mar was the perfect place to stay. The resort is beautiful, perfectly located just north of the village and only a minute or two away by golf cart. The staff is amazing, especially the concierge members Nikita and Sheldon who set us up with the best tours in Belize. Bartenders Ferdinand and Oscar were great and shared the best local restaurant advice. Ryan was so helpful in providing a ride when we needed one. And the food was great too from chef Daniel. We will definitely be back again, hopefully soon!

Hello, Scott, it was great to meet you and your family. Crazy good times we watched you have. That always makes our heart skip a beat! Awesome. Thank you for choosing Chabil Mar for your Belize family vacation. We share all of our reviews with our staff so you can be assured that Nikita, Sheldon, Ferdinand, Oscar, Chef Daniel and Ryan know how much you enjoyed their service. They have all been with us for quite a few years. We love them too. Your review is so great to read. So glad you loved being able to get into the Village whenever you wanted. All of our guests love being able to do that whenever they wanted by walking along the beach, biking, golf carting or requesting a ride from Ryan in the Chabil Mar van, especially in the evenings. I'm sure you found many fun things to keep you coming back for more in the Village in the shops, along the narrow beach sidewalk, beach bars etc. Now that you promised to be back again, we are going to hold you to that! Cheers and happy 2021 from all of us at Chabil Mar Guest Exclusive Beach Resort.
