A must go and try.. - The tour was amazing. I love the chocolate. I can’t wait to go back. I went on a tour with Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the seas. It is worth the money. We did more stops but I was stoked to see how they did chocolate. It met my expectations.

Awesome chocolate making experience - We did the chocolate making class and it was amazing, one of the highlights of our trip. When we made the booking, maps showed the location closer to town, but it’s actually south of town. Maps seems to do this frequently on the island. The tour and history of the Mayans and how cacao is used was really interesting. We had a small group so it felt like a private tour. Roberto was awesome- he was very informative and friendly and made us have a great time. The chocolate making was a lot of fun. It is definitely a labor of love but such a cool experience. We also enjoyed trying some of their bars and buying a couple to take home.

Chocolate for everyone! - A wonderful place to make your own chocolate bar with organic products. Eduardo was a fantastic personable host that showed us how to create our chocolate bar and then taught us how to create our chocolate margaritas which we enjoyed afterwards. Mmmmmm! We all went to their store to sample 16 different chocolate bars so of course we would find a favorite to purchase. Gift items large selection so we found additional gifts to take home. All wrapped ready for luggage trip home.

A Must Do activity in Cozumel - This is a MUST do experience in Cozumel. My husband and I try to find hidden gems, but need to do so on a budget. This experience is amazing and at a fair price. Our guide was Paty. Paty is so sweet, kind, knowledgeable and interactive. She was the best tour guide you could ask for. We also had our child along and she made sure we were comfortable along the way. We did the tour and workshop. Making chocolate was SO much fun. I will recommend to my family and friends. The reservation people who assisted on WhatsApp were also great at answering questions. I really appreciated their time and kindness.

Learn a little history and make a little chocolate! - My husband and I loved our experience learning about the Mayans and their relationship to cacao (not to be confused with chocolate, which came late from Spain). Eduardo was our guide and instructor as we walked a little through the history of Mayan culture in relation to cacao and then we had the opportunity to make our own chocolate. Eduardo was very knowledgeable of the Mayan history and on chocolate making. We made a small chocolate bar with nothing but cacao nibs, allspice, sugar, honey and vanilla. The end product was delicious.Next time we are going to do the chocolate and margarita workshop!

Wonderful Chocolate experience - My wife is in a wheelchair so options on Caribbean islands tend to be awkward at best. Also, her family goes back almost two centuries as “Chocolatiers” from Hungary to Germany and later the USA, so this was at the top of her list. Patricia was our guide and very enjoyable, knowledgeable, and helpful. We truly enjoyed this adventure and learned a lot about chocolate, and especially the history before it made its way to Europe.
