First, I would like to remind you, that the paid in extra services like cook, masseuse, babysitting, etc...
are recommendations, they are not part of the staff of the Villa.
You are absolutely free to use the services of other cook, or other service providers at the villa.
I do not understand why, as you saw me every day, you did not talk to me, if you had a problem with the chef.
I see, the difference you had with Chef Daniel
Daniel works with me on two villas that I have been managing for 5 years. For this villa, I have over 300 5-star reviews,
with praises for Chef Daniel services.
I always take the precaution to bring the chef at check-in, so you can define the menus you want to eat, with him,
as there are so many cultural and gastronomic differences between the clients I receive, for example,
we can not serve the same thing to a person from the depths of China and a Frenchman from Lyon or an Italian from Milan…..
The first night, you were 7 persons not 4.
Therefore, the next morning, the chef prepared the meals for 7 persons as no one had advise him that there would only be 4 persons.
The meeting at check-in serves to communicate that kind of information.
So in fact, he made 2 meals for 7 people = 14 meals
The first night, the chef offered you as main courses, as he often does:
- Fillet of sea bream with lemon sauce
- Beef filet Dijonnaise, (mustard sauce, imported) for your information: this sauce is for meat and not for salad.
You have taken the 2 main courses and eat them all … plus cheese, plus a birthday cake for 10 persons.
You paid US$80 purchase of food and US$80 for his work.
For some people, it may seem too expensive, I can understand.
But 10 to 12 dollars per person with this type of menu, plus a birthday cake…
You should know that everything is imported this is why in Las Terrenas food is between 15/20% more expensive than Santa Domingo.
At La Villa, the price of meals is always between 8 and 12 dollars, service included.
This price seems very reasonable to me for a meal in Las Terrenas.
Otherwise there's "all inclusive hotel" : (We can not compete)
If to eat fried egg in oil with boxes of red beans served. It is not worth taking a chef…. (because it will always be too expensive)
