How dining works

The kitchen moves around your group's tastes.

Chef Marvin — every lunch and dinner is cooked in the villa kitchen to your group's preferences.
  1. Chef-led lunches and dinners

    A private chef cooks lunch and dinner in the villa kitchen, tuned to what the group actually wants that day.

  2. Groceries at cost

    The team provisions everything before you arrive and passes groceries through with no markup.

  3. Served, then cleared

    Chef-prepared lunches and dinners served daily, with cleanup handled by staff.

  4. Beach picnics & boat days

    Packed coolers, chips and drinks for sandbar afternoons and full days off the dock.

No pantry markup. The chef cooks what your group loves, and the table follows the day — dining room, dock, beach or boat.

The table

A day at the table

What dinner at Canary Cove actually looks like, from the first coffee to the last rum punch.
  1. Kitchen island facing the great room

    Morning

    Breakfasts & snacks

    The kitchen arrives stocked for self-serve mornings and grazing between meals.
  2. Dining spread prepared by the chef

    Midday

    Lunch, wherever you land

    Cooked by the chef and served in the villa dining room, on the pool deck, at the dock, or packed for the boat.
  3. Canary Cove logo on a drink at the poolside

    Golden hour

    Sundowners by the pool

    Cold drinks and rum punch without leaving the water. The dockside rum punch is remembered by name in the guestbooks.
  4. Shrimp dinner plated

    Evening

    Dinner where the day lands

    Long villa table, dock at sunset, or barefoot on the sand — the setting follows the mood, and staff handle the cleanup.
  5. Mini cheesecakes topped with fresh berries

    Any night

    Celebrations

    Milestone dinners for birthdays, anniversaries, and reunions. Save room: the Lava Cake is the dessert guests remember by name.
  6. Cocktails served during a San Pedro dining outing

    Night out

    Dinner in San Pedro

    When the group wants a night in town, our 30-foot boat runs you in and back ($75 round-trip), and water taxis leave from the dock every two hours.
Guest notes on the food

Dessert gets its own thank-you notes.
