What is described and what to check

The menu and the chefs’ explanations appear in the description and itinerary. The formal inclusions list, however, only names all taxes and fees and an air-conditioned vehicle. This difference in detail does not explicitly exclude the meal: ask for confirmation of exactly what the rate covers.

The description mentions tasting rum and the sorbet contains Ron Oliver, but a separate tasting, included drinks, quantities and pairings are not confirmed. Additional orders or supplements beyond the menu are not detailed either. Check schedules and any differences between lunch and dinner when booking.
