If there's ever a difficult decision to make when vacationing in Chacala, it would be whether to have the cooks come to pamper you with amazing meals at your villa, OR to eat ocean front at the beach club, OR to go out to eat in the village. What a tough choice! We find that the quality, convenience, and enjoyment of having the majority of your meals prepared for you at your villa usually provides the best vacation experience. But having a meal or two at the beach club isn't to be missed and you'll definitely want to check out a restaurant or two! Below are our suggestions to provide you with the very best vacation experience.
Beyond the list of popular options below, our concierge service can assist with any desire or request you might have during your stay.
Private cooks at your villa:
Our team of talented and experienced cooks can cook up an array of regional and traditional fare to wow any crowd. Your cooks will shop daily for you at local markets, sourcing fresh local ingredients to cook to your liking, adhering to any dietary requests. The meals will be served buffet style and then they will clean and store any leftovers for you - a true vacation experience!
Meals can be selected a la carte or your group can request a meal plan whereby our cook team will plan and provide your meals for the duration of your stay. Meal plans can be 1, 2, or 3 meals per day. Please send a request for current pricing and options! It is by far the best way to go when in Chacala!
