The Chili Beach Private Resort

"Our stay at The Chili Beach Resort was nothing short of spectacular. If you are looking for an intimate, stunningly beautiful escape where luxury feels completely effortless and grounded, this is it. One of the absolute highlights of the location is the beach itself. It serves as a beautiful, quiet reprieve compared to the hustle and bustle of the main beach, giving you all the serenity you could ever want. The pool area and the beach views are picture-perfect spots to completely unwind. To top it all off, the resort has an abundance of local charm—the resident donkeys and friendly lizards wandering around made the entire property feel even more magical and uniquely charming! From the moment we arrived, Marce was our absolute superhero and hands-down the best concierge we have ever encountered. As international travelers, her flawless fluency in English made communication entirely seamless and stress-free, which made a world of difference for us. She was on top of every single detail and accommodated every last-minute request, including eleventh-hour spa appointments. What blew us away was her dedication; she went above and beyond, literally calling up local business owners and haggling on our behalf to ensure everything was perfect. Her warmth, efficiency, humor (she was absolutely hilarious!), and brilliant "make it happen" attitude made our entire trip. Marce was the glue that kept everything running; even when she left for the day, she made sure things were followed up on during her off hours. That is true dedication! Marce also runs a fantastic team. The level of personalized service here is unmatched, and the incredible staff all went out of their way to make us feel special. Romalho was awesome too—he took the time to learn our exact preferences for the included breakfast on the very first day. We were amazed that he remembered every single tiny detail; as soon as we sat down, everything was already ready for us exactly the way we liked it. The staff truly operate with genuine warmth and made our stay incredibly relaxed and enjoyable. We left feeling completely pampered, relaxed, and deeply grateful. Thank you to Marce, Romalho, and the entire team for an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend splurging on this beautiful resort and make sure Marce is there to take care of all your needs!"
