Interaction with guests: 
Our staff will welcome you with margaritas and snacks. To fund your food, beverages, car gas and transport from/to the airport we need you to send us a $1,500 check for a 'purchases bank' which will be given to our house manager prior to your arrival. Please, advise us of special food requests, also what you’d like for first dinner and breakfast. And let us know what kind of beverages you’d like to have at the house. When this advance 'bank' is used, our house man, Jose, will give you a detailed accounting, and request you to provide additional cash for future purchases. Figure about $150 p/p p/w depending on what you actually consume. We don't mark anything up like most other villas do.
