Charging $150 USD per person for a twelve person dinner, I watched as a mother & daughter cooked our meal as Tone peeled & chopped vegetables occasionally while barking orders at both them & his guests. Upon arrival, he proceeded to demand the kitchen be cleaned as it was not part of his services. Our group underwent a cat 4 hurricane that went well thru 7am and got a pretty late start to the morning. I totally understand needing space to prep, but there's a way to ask someone like " hey guys, as soon as the kitchens clean I can get started". When it was time for dinner which had a majority vegans & vegetarians, he served salsas & sauces containing fish & bugs which are not appropriate for either, claiming I didn't send him the proper information in front of my guests. I sent a spreadsheet over a week before which he complimented on thoroughness but clearly didn't read or allocate quantities for those with restrictions properly. On top of this, he claimed a sauce put over fish was still vegan/vegetarian. I'm someone who will eat anything, but I'm paying a crazy amount of money per person to ensure there's enough food, especially for those with dietary restrictions. As the evening came to an end, he explained he'd be taking the leftovers from our meal, rather than boxing them up for us. Again, I've paid $150 USD per person---how does anyone professional or hospitality oriented think this is appropriate? So in conclusion, if you want to support modern colonialism & exploitation be sure to book Tone. You'll be sure to be disappointed.

They seek out individuals with disabilities and create adaptations, enabling greater independence. They provide support to families who are having a difficult time accepting their differently-abled family members. They offer low cost doctor's visits every week. They help find employment for people with disabilities, either within their community or at their workshop. They host camps. They offer limited long-term housing for adults with disabilities who were surrendered to their care in the 80s. They do SO MUCH STUFF that I can't even remember it all. We came to visit Pina Palmera and were readily obliged when we asked to tour the facility. It's amazing. Volunteers and residents blanket the grounds with workshops, creating beautiful bird mobiles, coconut oil, recycled paper notebooks, and other items to sell in their workshops. We met long term residents who were very welcoming to us. We observed a participant creating recycled paper using adaptive equipment created especially for him by volunteers at Pina Palmera. Our tour guide, Federica, was Italian and spoke limited English but did a fantastic job conveying the importance of the work done by Pina Palmera. I'm so glad we went and am still humbled by the hospitality with which we were met.
