In keeping with local customs, we serve three in-villa meals: • Breakfast • Light daytime dishes or snacks • An early evening meal, served no later than 5:00 PM

In Mexico, the main meals of the day are traditionally enjoyed earlier than in the U.S. Our schedule reflects this custom and allows our staff to provide attentive service within established working hours.

Staff arrives daily at 8:00 AM and remains onsite through the completion of the final meal service and full kitchen clean-up. This typically results in a 10-hour workday.

Meals are prepared by our Mamacitas, who provide traditional, home-style Mexican cooking using fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Meals are served plated style and enjoyed in the comfort of your villa. This is home-style cooking—not restaurant or private-chef dining.

Yes. Menu planning is coordinated with your Property Manager and can be tailored to preferences and dietary needs with advance notice.
