A beautiful and authentic taste of Cozumel - We enjoyed a delightful afternoon at the Barefoot Fish Guided Cookout beach club, as an excursion offered on our Viking cruise trip. Our guide/host, Bernardo, was fantastic: so gracious, knowledgeable, and helpful. He explained and guided us in each preparing a delicious fish, vegetables, and traditional spices/flavors dish for our lunch. Super delicious, flavorful, and authentic Mayan cuisine! The beach club is very simple, no frills, but comfortable and relaxing. It also offers other activities such as speed boating, etc. A true hidden gem.

Fun Time; Excellent Meal - A fun time making an excellent meal. $20 taxi fare each way to get to beach club. Beach club nothing much - a little run down but quaint.

This was a fantastic excursion . Jocelyn , and the rest of the staff are terrific. The experience is extremely immersive - I cannot recommend the Barefoot Fish cookout enough . Jocelyn , our tour guide, was absolutely terrific . We were blown away by her knowledge. She was extremely personable, and made this excursion a 10/10. We will definitely be making this recipe at home . I also cannot say enough about the staff . Everyone was extremely accommodating!

Authentic experience - Wonderful authentic excursion. We arrived at Barefoot beach club, which was right on the beach with pool and swim up bar. We then proceeded to learn about Mayan culture. After that we had a wonderful cooking lesson where we had fresh caught fish, which we seasoned added vegetables and rolled in banana leaves. They grilled this and then had a very great meal on the beach. I which I can remember our host’s name (I can’t). But him and his staff were so nice and welcoming. My husband and I travel often and this by far was one of the most memorable experiences we have had. Oh, Margaritas are included! 😉

Best excursion of my trip. - The best excursion of the trip. They keep the attendance of each group small enough to make you feel like like you are with family and friends . Bernardo was wonderful as he guided us through the making of our own lunch. He explained every step and what it entailed what the ingredients were and why it was done and how it enhanced the flavor. This was the best meal of the entire trip and entirely worth the time .
