The suite was amazing. It was huge, a full living room with dining area, a kitchen I envied and a large bedroom with a four-poster bed - and even a washer/dryer! We were thankful for that since we were at the end of our 2 week tour of Belize and didn't want to go home with filthy clothes. We were exhausted by the time we got to Placencia and we loved staying at the resort and not having to do much. We could get wonderful food from the kitchen, use the wireless internet and take a nice walk into town.

We loved using the pedal boat to see some of the coast, although the wind was kicking up some waves and making it a little tougher than we thought!"

"I recently visited Belize for the 2nd time and stayed at the beautiful Chabil Mar Villas. The grounds are lush and tropical ( hummingbirds greeted me each morning ), the rooms are exquisitely appointed ( gorgeous granite counters, rich, dark mahogany cabinets, unique Spanish tiles, AMAZINGLY comfortable, plush featherbeds.....everything was stunning. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and offered many helpful ideas about what to do while in Placencia. The evenings were lovely as the grounds were lit with soft glowing torches. Whether I spent time on my veranda, in the pristine infinity pools, or just had a glass of wine on the pier-side cabana, every moment was perfect.

Placencia is a world away from the usual "tropical getaways". The little town is diverse and friendly...no tacky T-shirt shops, no high rises, no Planet Hollywoods....just natural beauty and locals that treat tourists like family."

"I have visited Placencia, Belize twice and have stayed at Chabil Mar Villas. I love the location. The property is exquisity appointed and lushly landscaped. Every Villa has either a Caribbean front or view with a private deck. There are only 22 Villas which creates a very intimate and private atmosphere.

In my first visit to Placencia I learned the hard way that the road to the north of the Placencia Airstrip is a dirt road and that most upscale accommodations/villas are on that northern strip of road. Chabil Mar Villas is south of the airstrip, between it and the Village along a paved road. This also means that walking along the beach to the Village is another wonderful benefit and experience that Chabil Mar Villas' location makes possible.

I loved the staff and with a kitchen and bar on the premises for the exclusive use of the Chabil Mar Villa guests, I could get any meal served to me in my villa, on my private deck, at the pool or on the pier. The kitchen and bar are not open to the public so it is so very private and peaceful!

At Chabil Mar Villas I found all the best that a beautiful villa and wonderful Belizean Caribbean Village has to offer."
