Have an Affair to Remember at Chabil Mar in Placencia

rp_Valentines-Flyer-2016-Chabil-Mar-Resort-Belize-791x1024.jpg

 

What’s on your calendar for Valentine’s Day? If you tend to fall back on the same old, same old—a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers—both make a nice prelude to a kiss, just as long as you follow up with a romantic dinner guaranteed to make memories.

Does the venue matter? Of course—which is why there’s no place like Chabil Mar  Belize’s most romantic resort. Take the love of your life to Chabil Mar on February 14th and you don’t have to bother to make that candy-and-flowers stop: your dinner host at Café Mar will provide both gifts in addition to a delicious, three-course plated dinner for two, prepared by chefs who are experts at crafting dishes that excite the eyes and the taste buds.

Why is Chabil Mar the most appropriate destination of all for your Valentine’s Day dinner? Because it’s already Placencia’s most luxurious resort, aptly named “Beautiful Sea” as a tribute to the 400-feet of private beachfront hugging the resort. It’s so lush, couples eager to marry on the beach serenaded by breezes and azure seas take one look at Chabil Mar’s waterfront and they look no further for a wedding venue.

Why book a Valentine’s Day reservation at Chabil Mar? Because the food is heavenly, the atmosphere is divine and live music, courtesy of Belize’s renowned saxophonist, Richard Pitts, will fill the night air with sensuous sounds. Valentine’s Day seatings are limited so couples can linger, which is why this meal is served only between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Given this short window, reservations are encouraged!

Are you the quintessential romantic soul? If the answer is yes, why stop with dinner? Each of Chabil Mar’s 19 luxury villas offers couples dreamy views of the Caribbean Sea from verandas designed for privacy and intimacy. You’ll be hidden away from the world so your time together won’t be interrupted by anything more than a cooling breeze. Every suite is exquisitely furnished and the epitome of boutique luxury. What says passion more than sipping champagne on a king-size bed made up with the finest linens?

Valentine’s Day dinner at Chabil Mar is more than just fine dining experience in a lush tropical setting with the object of your affection. It’s your opportunity to settle quietly into the moment without phones, work, kids and other distractions so you can concentrate only on the person you adore. Remember why you fell in love all over again as you glance across the table and look into eyes that captured your heart. By the time the evening ends, you’ll understand why Chabil Mar has become the Valentine’s Day Capital of Belize.

Chabil Mar Wins 2016 TripAdvisor Travel Award

When the staff of Chabil Mar in Placencia was informed that prestigious travel authority, TripAdvisor, awarded the resort a Travelers’ Choice Award, Marketing Director Larry France found himself momentarily speechless.

“I recovered quickly,” he recalls, “but you have to admit that yet another year of receiving kudos from this important rating service was a lot to take in. I felt as excited as I did the first time TripAdvisor honored us. It doesn’t get old! We’re sure that our unwavering commitment to exceptional service is the reason we received this honor once again and we’re so grateful.”tripadvisor travelers choice award

Many awards have been bestowed upon this Placencia-based resort, but you would never know it by the degree of modesty exhibited by staff when they’re reminded of the list of accomplishments this popular accommodation has amassed. Included are an industry Top 25 “Best Hotels in Central America for Luxury and Service” award in 2015 plus “Fodor’s” 2014 “Choice for Luxury” in Southern Belize.

“I don’t know this for a fact, but I’m pretty sure that being recognized by so many noted travel authorities is the reason our beautiful resort has graced the pages and screens of high-profile media,” France explains. “When guests tell us that they learn of Chabil Mar by reading magazines like “International Living”(Chabil Mar was the cover story), “Destinations Travel Magazine” (June 2014 and April 2015 Luxury Edition), “American Airlines Magazine,” “TravelAge West Magazine” and “Belize Guide Places to Stay,” we’re flattered and delighted.”

“Even “US News and World Report” named us a top place to stay,” France adds, and “TV viewers have learned about us on the AOL Travel Channel and broadcasts like “Wheel of Fortune,” “The Price is Right” and “The Doctor’s TV Show”.”

France is convinced that the resort’s success is a direct result of the consistency of service guests enjoy while lodging at Chabil Mar—-no easy feat since this luxury resort manages to be all things to all guests. “As both a romantic rendezvous for newlyweds and couples and a family-oriented destination that’s equally vibrant, we manage a harmonious balance between the two, without either world infringing upon the other.”

“Even our staff earns accolades,” says France. “The Belize Tourism Board bestowed Frontline Person of the Year honors on Natalie Ranguy and Althea Schable. When staff gathers honors, you know that our commitment to excellence reflects the very essence of our mission statement—a commitment that tells the world we’re more than bricks, mortar, wood, glass and décor. In fact, we’re a haven for traveler’s sensibilities. When guests place themselves in our care, we take this responsibility quite seriously.”

“Our staff does more than put heads in beds, which is likely why we were given the most recent TripAdvisor Travelers Choice Award,” says France. “While we’re not driven by such honors, we’re grateful for them because they remind us that we’re upholding the high standards we set from the day we opened. This is particularly important as Belize continues to establish itself as the premier Caribbean destination of the future.”

For adventure enthusiasts all around the world, an event worthy of hype and excitement is finally here. The 2016 Maya Mountain Adventure Challenge in Belize is back and the epic competition will be as fierce as the Belizean jungles in which the race will take place.

Belize provides the perfect setting for an action adventure race. Set in the Maya mountains in the lush tropical jungles of Belize, co-ed groups of four compete for 3 days and 3 nights traversing more than 220 miles of the Maya mountains.

Competitors will spend the three days mountain biking, trekking, orienteering, canoeing, rappelling and spelunking. The epic race starts and ends in the beautiful town of San Ignacio, nestled in the foothills of the Maya mountains which serves as the gateway to adventure.

Speaking about the race, executive director  of Friends for Conservation and Development (FCD), Rafael Manzanero, said that there is another part of Belize that is rarely seen, the Maya mountains, and the FCD challenges people to come and see what this country is really all about.

“The Maya Mountain Adventure Challenge has taken on a life of its own. What started as a typical adventure race production has developed into a testament of one of the last truly unspoiled corners of the world,” Julia Pollock, director of the competition said.

The 2016 race begins on February 20th.

After experiencing Belize’s vast and unspoiled countryside, participants of the Maya Mountain Adventure Challenge are invited to relax and rejuvenate at Chabil Mar on the beautiful Placencia peninsula in southern Belize.

The resort offers a plethora of Belize vacation packages including a premium 7-night package to scuba dive at the site the famous explorer, Jacques Cousteau, made popular: the Great Blue Hole.
