Chabil Mar Villas - Guest Exclusive Boutique Resort

My wife and I stayed at Chabil Mar for three nights. We had a garden suite, near the reception and office, and we loved the room. It was huge, with a full living room, kitchen, separate bedroom with en suite, and a large deck in front. The room was nicely decorated with lots of wood furniture, local artwork and colorful tiles. The grounds are well maintained and nicely landscaped. The beach is not very large and the sea is not the postcard-Caribbean-blue we see in many other places. Placencia is generally not as picturesque as other Caribbean sites. Chabil Mar is one the closest luxury resorts to the town. It is about 1 mile walk to the north end of town by the road, but the road is not the best for walking. We walked on the beach instead, much more pleasant. The resort has a shuttle, but because of traffic and construction in town, it was not a fast option. We had breakfast each day and one dinner, from the resort's menu. The resort does not have a restaurant, but has an extensive menu and will deliver to the room or one of the beachside tables. Breakfast was fine, the dinner was mediocre. Service was excellent - all staff were friendly and helpful.

What a wonderful surprise A beautiful resort right on the beach 2 pools an efficient and helpful staff! Complete calm and beauty The concierge is helpful and Resourceful and organize the best visits Breakfast on the balcony is a dream There is a shuttle to the downtown and plenty of delicious places to eat

Absolutely fantastic experience. The room was large and really nice. Pools were fantastic. The staff was wonderful. And the food was really tasty and it was soo cool eating wherever we wanted, especially on the pier. Loved the whole time and wish it could have lasted another week. We'll be back!

Staying here was by far one of the best vacation experiences. The hospitality was amazing. Dion, Natalie, Locho, and everyone else that we met while On property went above and beyond the normal. I can’t recommend Chabil enough and will definitely be coming back!

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.

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!
