3. Use the Grocery Service for must-haves. If you rely on particular items, the $39 service is the most reliable way to have them ready.
4. Plan simple, flexible meals. Choose staples you can reuse across dishes (e.g., eggs, fresh fruit, salad greens, bread, cheese, and a versatile protein).
5. Think about storage. Balance perishables with pantry items to keep options open through your stay.
6. Time your arrival treat. Pair a Snack Package with a beachside or pier Private Dining reservation to create a relaxed first evening.
7. Book early. Arrange your package(s) or custom list when you confirm your suite to ensure smooth pre-arrival coordination.
