Breakdown of Daily Food Cost

$150 per person should handle lunch and dinner for may 4 - may 7.
$150 x 21 pp =3150
$3150 - 1500 (chef rate) leaves a balance of $1650
$1650 - 1400 (chef estimates grocery fee of $350 a day for lunch & dinner, includes 1 protein)

lunch and dinner is served family style w/one protein. since w/have some non meat eaters and 2 non fish eaters we will have to have 2 proteins daily. this will increase the cost of groceries.

breakfast is included but only continental; fruit, pastries, coffee and tea. the $250 balance will be used to purchase snacks for the house as well as eggs, bacon, pancake mix etc to add to the breakfast menu.

i believe 150 is a great place to start. could be less, (doubt it) could be more. this price does not include tips, which i will collect daily for the cleaning staff ($2/3pp) and chef ($5/7pp) USD only!

if anyone wants to pay the $150 prior to the costa rica arrival, you are more then welcome.

hope this helps.
