Live Like the Rich & Famous by Exploring Chabil Mar’s Time-Limited Land and Yacht Package

Posted on June 1, 2015

Travelers who lust after the good life, but think it’s too elusive, have simply picked the wrong places to vacation! In Belize, especially during the green season, summers are filled with sumptuous days and nights—and you can afford the sorts of lodgings, entertainment and dining you’d expect to find on Sir Richard Branson’s budget.

How can this be? Because Chabil Mar, located in Placencia, is a little-known destination where budgets stretch as far as the eye can see during summer from the windows of private villas dotting this intimate resort. Between now and October, visitors can book vacation packages that include lodgings and amenities and since it’s lobster season in Belize, every meal’s a banquet.

Chabil Mar vacation packages have always been unique, but this summer season will inaugurate a brand new combination of experiences: a Mainland Vacation plus a Luxury Yachting weekend that’s got the Belize travel scene abuzz. It includes extras rarely included in packages that come with affordable price tags—extras guaranteed to leave friends and relatives as green with envy as the lush jungles of Belize.

“We’ve never offered anything that compares to this particular package,” said Larry France, Chabil Mar’s marketing manager, who tends to avoid using hyperbole after working in Belize’s travel industry for so many years. “This four-person extravaganza is unprecedented, considering the fact that Chabil Mar has won multiple awards from popular travel sites like TripAdvisor.com!”

Included in the Mainland and Sailing Package are in-country flights, transfers, five nights at a Chabil Mar luxury villa followed by two nights on board The Wild Orchid, a 46-foot catamaran yacht. While on site, visitors can explore rainforests, tour Mayan archaeological ruins, relax on the beach or stroll to nearby Placencia Village to soak up local culture. Onboard the yacht, fishing, snorkeling, island hopping and sailing await—and it’s only available throughout the green season ending in November.

“At Chabil Mar, guests land in paradise,” France adds. “Think candlelight dinners, champagne, chocolates, breakfast on a private veranda and meals cooked to order that include the king of all delicacies, lobster. On board the Wild Orchid, meals are prepared by the yacht’s professional crew and beverages of choice are included. It’s a package only Chabil Mar offers and this sort of luxury experience is rare for the price.”

Chabil Mar is a privately owned and held resort located in the Stann Creek District of Belize. It opened its doors in 2005 and has built an international reputation since that time. Historically, Chabil Mar—Mayan for “Beautiful Sea”—is nestled between a Garifuna settlement and former Creole fishing village of Placencia and in close proximity to ancient Maya ruins, rainforests, jungles and some of the best scuba and deep-water diving in Central America.

TripAdvisor Awards Chabil Mar a Certificate of Excellence for 2015

Posted on May 20, 2015

Employees and frequent guests of Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia Belize have begun joking that the popular resort is going to have to build an extra room with walls enough to display a growing number of awards and honors that have been heaped on the luxury hideaway over time.

The most recent, a coveted TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2015, has everyone at Chabil Mar abuzz with excitement because, according to previously honoured guest and reservations managers Natalie Ranguy and Althea Schable, “We want the world to know exactly how special this boutique hotel is!”

According to Google Analytics, TripAdvisor is “the largest travel community in the world, reaching 340 million unique visitors,” so when their evaluation team chooses one resort to honour over all others within its class, travelers know that they can expect excellence and signature service on all levels if they choose a destination receiving TripAdvisor kudos.

From location, sequestered within the 18-mile of Placencia Peninsula, to a finite number of cloistered villas offering travelers the ultimate in privacy within a lush tropical sanctuary–plus fine dining and myriad amenities–Chabil Mar is frequently chosen by media (television producers and magazine editors) for its picturesque environs, accomodations and proximity to Belize attractions active guests crave.

In fact, Chabil Mar is a perennial winner of TripAdvisor laudits (http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g291977-d600573-Reviews-Chabil_Mar-Placencia_Stann_Creek.html), but the awarding of such accolades never gets old, say resort personnel and management. Chabil Mar is known throughout the country and tourism community for its “Guest Exclusive Resort Policy,” where personalization and pampering are prioritized.

“We are both proud and delighted to be a leading resort in the categories of Luxury, Romance, Family, Service and Small Hotels for Central America and Belize,” enthused Chabil Mar’s marketing manager Larry France, “and we can’t thank our staff enough for their astounding work and personal attention. This is, once again, their award!”

Chabil Mar is a privately owned and held resort located in the Stann Creek District of Belize. It opened its doors in 2005 and has built an international reputation over time. Chabil Mar—Mayan for “Beautiful Sea”—is nestled between a Garifuna settlement and the former Creole fishing village of Placencia and in close proximity to ancient Mayan ruins, rainforests, jungles and some of the best scuba and deep-water diving in the Eastern Hemisphere.
