Theriot Villas ~ Acapulco

Bienvenidos! Welcome to Acapulco and Villa Las Colinas! This letter outlines information about Las Colinas and services you may expect and request, along with beneficial suggestions that will make your stay a most wonderful experience.

Las Colinas is nestled in a cozy neighborhood overlooking Acapulco Bay. You can see the twinkling lights of the city at night and fun beach activities during the day.

The Villa is fully staffed with friendly and helpful employees ready to make your vacation a most relaxing and fun time. Fredo is your main houseman and Victor is your second one.  They will go to the markets and stores to do food and beverage shopping for each day of your stay. You are also welcome to go with them if you want to.  

Elise Butos is your main contact for Theriot Villas.  She is in our corporate office in Austin, along with the owner Beau Theriot.  She will assist in pre-planning your first few meals, as it is a good idea to stock up on a few items prior to your arrival.  Another perk is our laundress is happy to wash any items of clothing for you as well.  Just let her know.  

*Two weeks prior to your trip, contact Elise to discuss your flight itinerary and list of first few menu items and beverage list.  Her email is eliserb@ccranch.net. 

The approximate daily cost of food, liquor and other household items for your visit is as follows: For 3 meals per day, $65 – $75 per person; 2 meals +/- $50 per person; and for only 1 meal +/- $35 per person. Please bring American dollars, pesos or a credit card to use for getting cash from an ATM for your expenses. Fredo will work with you on the menus, then ask for money before going shopping and upon returning will provide you with receipts and change. All you need to do is tell them what you want, the number of people, and the time you want to eat. They will have it all prepared. Margaritas and piña coladas all day long, if you desire!

Enclosed are menus and food recommendations. Guests have found them very helpful when planning meals and are always pleased with the delicious food. The cooks are fantastic! Please note, when ordering lobster, shrimp, steaks and some fish, there will be an extra expense and well worth it. You can enjoy meals in the main dining area or even under the palapa. If you have large groups of 8 or more, you may choose to serve family style or have a buffet occasionally.

Breakfast is “Desayuno”-usually 9:00-11 (anytime in between)

Lunch is “Almuerzo”-served I (anytime in between)

Dinner is “Cena”-served 7:00-10:00 (anytime in between)

There is bottled water for you to drink in each suite. Please note, water is at a premium, so please conserve it while brushing your teeth and taking a shower. 

Please use the air conditioners only when you are in your suite. The suites are cleaned daily. It is best to not leave money, jewelry, or other valuables lying around. Each suite has a key for you to lock the door during the day and at night. Acapulco, in general, is a safe and casual city for shopping or sightseeing (but don’t flash your money or jewelry!). All of the art is original by aspiring Mexican artists and furnishings are true Mexican ethnic items I have collected around this beautiful country.

Remember to take all personal items (computers, CD’s, phones, etc.) to your room at night.

*(We are not responsible for lost or stolen items while at the Villa).

Fredo and Victor are available to make any arrangements and reservations for you when needed, such as outings like golf or fishing, or watching the cliff divers.    

Our driver, Cecilio, is available to reserve for airport transportation, sightseeing and shopping. Elise will schedule him for your airport pick up when arriving in Acapulco. He is a lot of fun while driving and guiding you through the city and to your destinations. Please see the attached Transportation Guide for more information. Also, it is important to pay him directly at the end of your journey.

There is a wonderful masseuse available as well as manicurists, and facialist. Ask Fredo or Victor to call and set up the appointments. They will come to the villa and make you feel very relaxed! 

Massage – $35 + tip for 45 minutes

Pedicure – $25 + tip Manicure – $20 + tip Facial – $30 + tip.

Haircut and other beauty services, please ask for the price.

Upon your departure, if you are pleased with the service, I propose you divvy up at least $30 from each person per day you are at the Villa and divide total among staff. If you are ecstatic, then your generosity is greatly appreciated by these terrific people. We advise paying each employee his or her tip directly, in an envelope with their name. Tip Guidelines are attached.

We hope this information helps make your Acapulco getaway a special treat for you.

Enjoy yourselves! You are in one of the most heavenly spots on Earth!

Disfrutelo! (Enjoy)

Owner
