One of the amenities that are part of our vacation rental package at the Villa is the service of the cook staff. They are available to cook and serve up to three meals daily. After finishing your meal, retire to the pool or living room and they will clean up.
A question that is frequently asked concerns how arrangements are made for the meals. For meals at the Villa you are responsible for the cost of the groceries, including beverages and condiments. For regular meals, costs average about $15 - 20 USD per day per person. Alcoholic beverages and seafood purchases would cause this estimated cost to increase. Villa guests set up a petty cash system with the cook advancing the funds to do the grocery shopping. Receipts for purchases made on your behalf are always provided.

“The Villa La Querencia is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The view of Manzanillo and Bay was different day and night – breathtaking.” Carol – Norwalk, CA
"I have to say a huge thank you to you and the Villa staff. Everyone made us feel welcome and made our kids feel special. They did a wonderful job and truly made our vacation the best we have ever had. Again, thank you so much- the Villa, the people and Manzanillo were wonderful. We hope to come back in the near future." Christina – Snoqualmie, WA
“The villa is spotless and comfortable, and you couldn’t find a better view in the entire world. I actually took a book with me and didn’t read one page after arriving because the view is so amazing. I couldn’t pull my eyes away from the lush vegetation and remarkable seascape that is framed by the pool, two palapas and my cold drink…” Bryson
"Fabulous! My 3rd visit and I will return. All of our party enjoyed our stay fully, a great getaway." Debbie - Bentonville, AR
"I had to pinch my cheeks to make sure that I had not died and gone to heaven! Villa La Querencia is too amazing to describe--you truly have to see it to believe it. The villa is impeccably maintained and I was quickly made to feel like a queen in her castle. Breathtaking views of Manzanillo Bay were only outdone by the God-delivered nightly sunsets--truly the most beautiful I have ever seen. The food was incredibly fresh and prepared better than the top restaurants in our community. I cannot wait to return to the Villa again."
