Private Chef Recommendations in Santa Teresa / Mal Pais Costa Rica

Private Chef Recommendations in Costa Rica

One of the advantages of booking your vacation rental with Costa Rica Beach Rentals is our local knowledge on how to make your vacation with us one of your most memorable. Not only can we give you advice on things to do or places to eat in Santa Teresa, but we can also give you the inside information on preparing local meals at your vacation rental or hiring a private chef service to prepare a meal for you.

You may be interested in hiring a private chef for many different reasons. Perhaps a special occasion such as a birthday, wedding, or honeymoon has you considering bringing on a professional culinary master to really ‘wow’ your guests. Others may decide that some professional pampering is in order when they jet off for a vacation and leave the shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleanup to the hired help. Whatever your reason for selecting a private chef or cook, the benefits are numerous. Be it a dietary restriction, the ease of staying at your rental, the customization of your meal, or even just the simplicity of leaving it up to someone else, the perks are always exceptional.

Costa Rica is a hotspot for foodies and celebrity travelers looking for the crème de la crème of culinary artists, and Santa Teresa does not disappoint.

  Thank you very much for contacting us. At the moment we only work in the Santa Teresa area which is South of Flamingo. Unfortunately we don’t have anyone to recommend in that area. Sorry we couldn’t help this time!

Hi,
I am staying near Paquera beginning this Friday April 7th and would like to inquire about a private chef for April 8 & 9 for breakfast, lunch and dinner and possibly the 10th. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children ages 4 and 7). Can you please let me know if you offer services in this area? also, my husband and I cook quite a bit so also would like to inquire about a chef to prepare meals on April 8th and solely prep them for April 9th (and maybe 10th). Please let me know. Thanks, Annie

Annie,

Thank you so much for contacting us. How close to Paquera are you staying? Most of the chefs I work with are here in the Santa Teresa area but I may be able to find someone for you out there. Let me know and I’ll do my best to help.

Thank you,
Brett

Hello,

My family and i will be staying a private home from December 16th – December 29th. I am looking for a chef to come in a few times while we are there to prepare some large meals that can cover dinner and then a few days of lunch. We’re a family of four, 2 adults and 2 kids under the age of 3. Pricing would determine how frequently we could bring someone in. I’d love to chat more.

thanks,
Rebekah
