Amazing Evening
May 14, 2021
“When staying on Isla you must have Javis, Karen and Amber over for an evening! The food, drinks, service, and definitely the entertainment was excellent. This is a must do or you will miss out on personalized cuisine and education from a true local of the island. Thank you Dinnertainment for a night to remember.” Charise

Dinnertainment

Dinnertainment is an experience.  It’s more than just a meal, it’s a memory. Our private chef service can make your vacation one to remember.

Most anything is possible in terms of menu within the framework, so feel free to make suggestions of things you prefer. Cost changes may apply.   

No Mess.  No Fuss.   Hassle Free.
Our rate includes full service for everything from shopping, cost of food, preparing, serving and clean up.  Of course the live music is included in that as well.  Nothing cheesy.  The experience is very laid back. 
 
Pricing : Groups of 1-6 guests are $450 usd then $75 per person after 6 guests (tip not included).   
 
Typically, groups choose to do a surf and turf option.  If you have any dietary requests, we are happy to accommodate.   If you are looking for something more typical Mexican, we can do that as well.
