FAQs About Airbnbs in Tulum With a Private Chef

Do all these Airbnbs in Tulum include a chef?

No, and in fact, most don’t include a private chef in the rental price — though I managed to find several that do, which are all listed in this article.

After searching high and low on Airbnb, I found that very few include a full-time chef as part of your stay, but many others offer chef service as an add-on.

Each individual Tulum Airbnb listing will note what’s available, and most hosts are happy to arrange meals for an extra fee.

You can also book your own Tulum private chef here — though some Airbnbs will only allow you to use their pre-approved chefs.

Can private chefs accommodate dietary needs?

Yes, the vast majority of private chefs in Tulum can cater to dietary preferences including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, keto, pescatarian, etc.

Be sure to communicate this with your Airbnb host and/or your private chef before arrival, and they should be able to accommodate for dietary restrictions.

Are groceries included in the price?

Usually not, though it depends on the Airbnb. While some Airbnbs include chef services in the price, that only includes the chef’s time and labor.

More than likely, the guests will be charged a separate fee for ingredients, which may be billed after a grocery run or added as a set menu charge.

Is tipping expected for private chefs in Tulum?

Tipping in Mexico is not (legally) required anywhere, you might say it’s actually expected for a luxury service like an in-home private chef.

A tip of 15% of the total service cost is a good guideline, but more is appreciated for 5 Star service and exceptional food.

Can the chef cook all meals, or just dinner?

That depends on the villa. Some include two meals a day, while others allow you to choose which meals to have prepared.

Breakfast and lunch are the most common options that will be included, with dinner costing extra — but it depends on the Airbnb in Tulum Mexico you’re renting.
