How do meals work at Estrella Mar?

Our wonderful chef's services are included in the nightly rate. They will do all the shopping, prep work, cooking, serving and clean up for two meals each day at no additional cost to you. The cost of groceries, both food and drinks is additional and we just pass it onto you (with receipts – no service fee) at the end of the week.    For planning purposes, estimate $35 a day per guest staying. Keep in mind this number will be on the lower end should you choose to eat out, if you have a lot of kids, vegetarians, or nondrinkers in your group. This number can be higher should you choose expensive seafood options such as lobster or shrimp each meal accompanied by top shelf liquors and pricier wines and beers.  We recommend you give our staff around $1000  dollars upfront to reimburse their shopping, check in mid week, and then of course settle at the end of your stay. All money for groceries must be paid directly to our staff in CASH only, as they do not have a way to take credit cards or checks.  

Breakfasts have many items that are served family style from platters of fresh fruit and bacon and a potato dish to everyone’s favorite French toast! Then, you and your guests have the option of ordering additional items such as yogurt parfaits, omelets, or machaca burritos individually. Lunches and Dinners are ordered as a group, meaning everyone is served the same dish. Our chefs are happy to work around any dietary requirements to accommodate everyone. Dinners can be up to four courses including appetizers, a soup or salad, a main dish and dessert. Sunday is our staff’s normal day off, but a fantastic family style breakfast is still served. A smaller simpler lunch or some appetizers can also be ordered. Sunday evening is a great opportunity to head into town for dinner and enjoy some of the fantastic restaurants PV has to offer.‍
