Then, take a seat at the Mesa Grande, the big dining table, where guests share their day’s adventures and savor the chef’s creations.
The lodge prides itself on the cuisine that is served, selecting only the freshest and best produce from organic farmers at local markets and complementing them with the fresh fruits and herbs grown in the lodge’s orchard. The preserve abounds with tropical fruit trees, oranges, lemons, papayas, bananas, pineapples, and, of course, coconuts. The chefs prepare three exceptional meals each day, serving healthy, fresh Latino-style cuisine with an emphasis on local recipes and fresh fish, fruit, and vegetables.
