Lunch and dinner are included on the day of arrival.  Breakfast is included on the day of departure. Other meals on arrival and departure days are not included, and a la carte pricing will apply.  There are no menu restrictions for package plan guests however the following rules apply:
A maximum of one entrée per person can be ordered at each meal.  Appetizers, starters, extra sides, etc. are not included and will be charged to the room. Skipped or missed meals do not carry forward and no credit is accrued for this.
 Likewise, Lunch menu items may be ordered at dinner time in lieu of a dinner entrée however there is no credit given for this substitution.
Box lunches: Many guests take advantage of our pre-made “boxed lunches” to maximize their time out on the water.   These are included in the package plan and simply take the place of an “ordered” lunch that day.  Box lunches can be ordered at dinner the night prior or at breakfast that morning.  Box lunches are packed in a cooler with ice and include a sandwich, chips, fruit or other snack, and one soft drink (choose a bottle of water or from an assortment of sodas).   Extra waters, sodas, or beers can be requested but these are billed to the room at normal a la carte rates. The package plan does not include gratuities or taxi trips to and from the airport.
Activities: Package Plan guests have access to activities as follows:
Snorkel gear, kayak and  paddle boards.

Skiffs, Kayaks and paddle boards : SFR may not have enough kayaks and paddle boards for all guests to use at the same time, therefore usage is based daily on first come first serve. Kayaks and Paddle Boards must be returned to their designated storage areas after each use and not stored at the individual bungalows
If bad weather or any unforeseen event prevents the use of any activities, no credit is given on the package plan.  Package plan pricing includes use of activities  from the normal check-in time on the day of arrival until the normal check-out time on the day of departure.  Use of activities prior to check-in or after check-out times will be based on availability, and if approved by a manager, will be billed at normal a la carte rates.  These charges would be in addition to the standard “late checkout” charge of $50.  Late checkouts are not always available and must be approved by a manager in advance.
