Food and Meals:
Food and meals: Encore VIlla has a full time cook at the villa, ready to provide the guests with fabulous meals of their choice. The services of the cook and other staff is included in the villa rate, but a customary 10-15% gratuity is to be paid at the end of the vacation, in cash, directly to the staff. Before the guests arrive, a food request list is asked to be filled by the guest. This list is for the cook to be able to purchase and stock up the kitchen for the arriving guest, so that the first 24 hours are taken care of and the guest can arrive and relax. In this list the guest can request their first lunch and/or dinner and first breakfast that they wish the cook to prepare and serve. The second day the guest reimburses the cook for the shopping expenses. Then the guest may plan with the cook the meals and food shopping for the rest of the vacation. Regardless who shops, the guest, the cook or both, the guest is responsible for the cost of all food and drinks.
