Here, you actually eat

The chef, the cook and the house attendant come with the house. You don't pay for their work: you pay for the food.

Put another way: a seafood meal in Acapulco costs $350–600 per person. One meal. Here, with $250–280 per person per night, you eat all three meals of the day, at your table, with the sea in front of you.

How it works, in 3 steps

1. You choose. Three weeks before you arrive, we write to you. We have 7 menus ready, each one designed for a type of group. Pick one, or build your own dish by dish.
2. We shop. Your menu becomes the shopping list. We handle it: market, fish market and supermarket, the same day you arrive. By the time you walk in, it's all there.
3. We cook. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. You never have to step into the kitchen unless you want to.

The 7 menus

None of these quite fit? We build yours. The kitchen does a lot more than what fits in seven menus: pancita, tacos gobernador, spaghetti with octopus, zarandeado fish, paella, butterfly shrimp. Just ask.

What it costs and how you pay

~$250–280 per person, per night. It's an estimate, not a budget: you pay exactly what the market and supermarket receipts say, not a peso more.

• Paid in cash, on arrival, against the purchase receipts.
• Tortillas and ice are separate — set some cash aside for that.
• Alcohol isn't in that range. It can be added to the list if you want.
• Larger groups bring the average down; groups with heavy breakfasts and seafood dinners bring it up.

How the kitchen works

This avoids 90% of the misunderstandings.

• Breakfast starts at 9. Last night's kitchen has to be cleaned first.
• Maximum two dishes per meal. More doesn't fit in the time, and we'd rather do two well.
• The day you arrive there's a single service, one combined lunch-dinner. Cooked from 3 to 6 pm.
• Dinners are light.
• Every main dish comes with rice and salad. No need to ask.

And two schedules that don't move: check-in 3:00 pm, check-out 11:00 am.
