Pay As You Go Dining & Beverage Option

Flexible • Custom • Guest-Directed

For guests who prefer complete control over what is purchased and consumed during their stay, Villa Bella Vita offers a Pay-As-You-Go dining and beverage option. With this approach, groceries, beverages, and specialty items are purchased specifically to your preferences and delivered to the villa as requested. You decide what to stock, when to restock, and how much to purchase ideal for lighter eaters, shorter stays, or guests with very specific tastes.

How It Works

  • Guests select food

    and beverage items à la carte

  • Purchases are made on

    your behalf and delivered to the villa

  • A 30% purchase

    and delivery fee applies to all orders

  • Additional orders

    can be placed at any time during your stay

Typical Guest Spend

Most guests using Pay-As-You-Go
spend $50+ per person per day on
food and beverages before the
30% fee.

What to Expect

This option provides flexibility, but it does require active decision-making throughout your stay. Many guests discover that initial orders underestimate actual consumption particularly for beverages resulting in additional purchases and charges as the week unfolds.

Pay-As-You-Go works best for

  • Short stays
  • Guests who drink minimally
  • Groups who prefer to shop and manage consumption closely
  • Guests comfortable placing multiple orders during the week

Why Many Guests Choose an All-Inclusive Experience Instead

While Pay-As-You-Go offers flexibility, most guests ultimately prefer the All-Inclusive Food and Beverage Experiences for their ease, transparency, and overall value.

The Difference Is in the Experience With All-Inclusive, you enjoy:

  • One clear price, set before arrival
  • Fully stocked food and beverages from day one
  • No mid-stay requests for additional funds
  • No interruptions to place orders or track inventory
  • Freedom to enjoy your vacation without watching consumption

By contrast, Pay-As-You-Go often involves:

  • Multiple purchase decisions
  • Ongoing approvals
  • Additional charges during the stay
  • Running out of favorite items mid-week
  • Nickel-and-dime moments that interrupt relaxation

What Guests Often Tell Us After Their Stay

Many guests who choose Pay-As-You-Go share that:

  • They underestimate beverage consumption, especially during pool days and evenings
  • They end up spending more than expected after multiple restocks and fees
  • Being asked for additional funds during the vacation feels disruptive
  • As a result, repeat guests overwhelmingly opt for Standard or Premium All-Inclusive experiences on future visits.

A Simple Way to Decide

Choose Pay-As-You-Go if you:

  • Want full control over every purchase
  • Expect very light food and beverage consumption
  • Prefer ordering as you go

Choose All-Inclusive if you:

  • Want a smooth, uninterrupted vacation
  • Prefer predictable pricing with no surprises
  • Want to feel fully “off the clock”
Most guests find that All-Inclusive not only feels easier—but often costs less than Pay-As-You-Go once restocks and delivery fees are considered.

It allows you to arrive, settle in, and simply enjoy—without decisions, interruptions, or surprises. Your time at Villa Bella Vita is precious. Let us take care of the rest.
