Perfect day - Great experience!! Poncho was wonderful and took great care of us. All of the salsa and drinks were amazing! He let us customize what we did which was also nice. The weather was a bit touch and go with the rain but Poncho made sure we stayed dry. Definitely recommend this tour if you would like a relaxing/ yummy day at the beach!

Pancho & Crew made it happen!! - Pancho & Angel made this experience worth ever dollar we spent! The weather cooperated with a nice breeze and comfortable temps. Water temp was perfect. Making and eating oir salsa and guacamole was both fun and interesting. Finishing with a salsa dancing lesson was the cherry on top for our day. Getting to and from Port by taxi was affordable and easy to accomplish with zero hassle both ways. Again, can't say enough about our experience!

Loved It!!!!! 😍 - This is such an amazing experience!! Totally worth it. This is the best salsa and guacamole I’ve had, and I made it myself! 🤩 I definitely look forward to re-enacting my skills at home. Poncho and all his staff were so friendly and helpful. Open bar for two hours was nice. We got to sit on the beach while having drinks and making our dips. The ingredients were fresh. I would recommend this experience to anyone . 10/10 ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! Perfect experience, def try for yourself.

Really enjoyable!! - Highly recommend for a chill activity. Staff were so nice. First, we made guacamole in these gorgeous stone hand grinder. Then with roasted tomatoes and garlic, coriander , habaneros we made our own salsa. This was most enjoyable. The first two hours is open bar. Lastly, we’d pool chairs by the water. That was a little tightly packed. But still relaxing.

Salsa Sensation! - Ponchos restaurant salsa and salsa class was amazing! The staff is so kind and accommodating. When my family and I arrived we were the only ones there, which was a surprise, but the staff were very quick to make us feel welcomed. We were very pleasantly surprised by the experience. The salsa and guacamole was amazing and the experience is very flexible to fit whatever your family wants. They brought out as many drinks as we wanted. I would highly recommend asking your instructor about the area. It was so interesting to hear about Costa Maya outside of the cruise port! We also had their red snapper Mayan style and it was out of this world amazing. Noah and Poncho were an amazing hosts. My whole family would highly recommend this experience.

Salsa fun - We really enjoyed this tour. We ended up only doing the cooking part and cancelled the beach part / dancing. This was because we had too much sun on the previous day & were afraid to get more sun. However, the cooking class was fun. We made salsa, guac and she even taught us how to make margaritas the "proper" way. Their instructions on where to meet up were easy to follow. It was a unique experience.

Scammers- STAY AWAY! No salsa dancing - The title says salsa and salsa cooking class + beach day. We never received any salsa dancing class as is listed in the title. This provider is definitely trying to prey and hunt on the tourist looking for the shore listed excursion experience which includes the dancing lesson. When asked, we were told no dancing lessons. The instructor went to find dancing street performers for us to pay an additional fee for learning. There was no teaching, history, or lessons during the salsa making class either just a half way walk through of the steps. We were not offered any snorkeling equipment for the beach day. When looking at Google reviews, others have warned that this provider and restaurant are scammers and to stay away. I would not recommend anyone booking this experience. Looking for a refund.

Bamboozled - This activity, if we can call it that was absolutely awful. When we arrived, we were taken to a small table on the beach. No introductions were given. Ingredients, chips, and utensils were set out. We sat for a while and a man came and stated to add a tomato, garlic, and onion and walked away. We never saw him again. A while later another man came out and asked if we wanted Margarita's and that we had 2 hours of open bar. He also asked if we wanted him to bring out his speaker for music. Little did we know it would start with maybe 2 or 3 Latin songs and then switch over to Michael Jackson songs. Our activity became self guided because the guy also disappeared for a long time. Luckily 3 of us had did salsa and salsa elsewhere so we knew what to tell the other 3 in our party. Finally, the guy returns and he has drinks. I will not call them margaritas because I have no idea what those awful drinks were. The guy disappeared again with no instructions. Then, he returned with avocado and onions and says that it is for guacamole. He says how to cut the onion and avocado and disappears again. He never gave instructions to add the salsa to the guacamole. He finally returned to ask if we wanted something off the menu or more margaritas. A 3rd person walks up and says once you guys are done, we will do some salsa dancing. Needless to say, he never returned. My sister ordered ceviche. She received it and he disappeared again. We were so disappointed and just had to sit and wait for anyone to return to our table to even get the check. We decided to leave because this clearly wasn't the activity described on Viator. As we prepared to pay the check and order a taxi, the 2nd guy returns aggressively saying you know a tip is not included in the original price, you asked for margaritas and I got them for you (the nerve). We hadn't even had an opportunity to pay for food and even leave a tip. Aside from that, the experience was absolutely horrid and we paid over $400 in total for the experience. This experience felt like a scam. It should be labeled salsa no salsa, the self guided experience. My advice is to save your money and your time. 0 stars, do not recommend. This has probably been my worst experience through Viator which is shocking because my experiences are typically good.
