찬틀리 마레

What an incredible few days we spent at Chantil Mare. Food was above expectations, service was fantastic. Everyone who worked at the resort were welcoming. The hotel is a great place to unwind and relax. There is no loud pool music, no shows at night, just you and your partner listening to the ocean and watching the sunsets. If you want a relaxing vacation this is the place. Cudos to Chef Greg for such a fantastic menu.

My husband and I stayed in Chantli Mare more than 10 years ago for one night and had been wanting to spend more time here again. This year we were able to visit after the long gap and were reminded of the reasons why we loved this place: secluded beach, great food, and excellent service. The staff and owners are friendly, thoughtful, and always going above and beyond. Our luggage did not arrive in time and when the staff learned about this, they came to our help by offering to do laundry for us so we could have clean clothes. Then on a separate occasion I forgot to ask for my food without dairy but the staff had remembered how i had ordered it before so my dish came without dairy. These are just two examples of the many ways the staff made us feel at home. We were there a week and got to see that others come here year after year for the same reasons just described. It took us a long time to go back to Chantli Mare and hope that our next visit will not take that long.

Negative: bed and blanket synthetic (sweaty nights for me); obnoxious chemical smell of air-fresheners in room and hotel corridors; no staff at reception; sometimes long waiting times at lunch in restaurant; no cushions avaiable for the hard beach loungers; no parasols on the beach available that can be moved, so one has to stay under the fixed parasols by the hotel, in close proximity to the other guests; no ice-cream in the restaurant; no solo-travellers in hotel, mainly eldlerly Mexican and America couples; no grocery stores nearby; rec Positive: very beautiful, quiet sandy beach with coconut palm trees; yummy food in restaurant; small hotel; colourful walls in rooms
