FAQ.
No.
When your group books Kibayo, the venue is yours.
There is a neighbouring access path between the villa and garden, but Kibayo itself isn’t shared with other hotel guests.
Only if you want it. Our Kibayo meals are Dominican food from the island: fruit, vegetables, eggs, plantain and more.
Drinks: fruit-infused water, juices, Dominican coffee and herbal teas.
Another cuisine, special diets or a chef’s dinner? We work with a wide network of freelance chefs, some of them very high level. You decide.
