Food and Beverage:
Rio Chico guests may spend as much or as little as they wish for food and beverage. If you want the finest food possible and do not want to bother with making decisions regarding every meal, you may prepurchase the food and beverage package for $190 per adult per day. This buys exquisite multi-course meals, snacks and an unlimited fully-stocked bar with brand-name labels. We can provide sample menus.
Alternatively, you may simply visit with the chef and select more basic menus for which you will be billed directly from receipts. For children 14 and under, the chef and property manager will simply run a tab.
