At the ocean's edge and bordered by lush jungle, Xinalani’s beachfront restaurant offers a healthy menu and a unique outdoor dining experience (expect to see whales and dolphins). Your retreat includes three delicious healthy meals per day (vegetarian, fish, and chicken options offered) as well as a light breakfast option for early risers that offers a mix of granola, fresh fruit, Mexican coffee, and an assortment of teas.
