I really really really enjoyed this wonderful experience. The food was delicious, the company was enjoyable and the location was beautifully charming. Alma is a really wonderful host and makes everyone feel at home and comfortable. Her Auntie (Tia) is a lot of fun and does all the hard work, so that the rest of us can do the fun stuff and enjoy the "beverages"! Yes, I came back from this trip to Mexico with a couple of souvenirs from the airport gift shop......but the one thing that I came back with , that will last forever, is the memory of this experience and the knowledge to cook a few authentic Mexican dishes for friends and family to enjoy. I would highly recommend this wonderful experience as a couples/ singles/ or family experience. I was in Mexico without my wife visiting an ailing friend for a week and took the opportunity to spoil myself with this experience. I did not for one moment feel "alone" or "out of place". Spoil yourself, don't let this opportunity pass you by.Surpassed my expectations. The hosts were friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I recommend doing this activity at the beginning of your trip as you learn so much about the culture while cooking amazing food! Alma and her Tia were outstanding teachers.

Surpassed my expectations. The hosts were friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I recommend doing this activity at the beginning of your trip as you learn so much about the culture while cooking amazing food! Alma and her Tia were outstanding teachers. We learned how to shop, prepare and present our meal ! We started by shopping local, Alma answered all of our questions about how to properly choose the best veggies/produce. We moved on to our cooking location, Alma’s family home. It was clean, inviting and beautifully decorated. Before we knew it we were all cooking like we never imagined, snacking on what we made and then sitting down to enjoy a full meal. We felt like we made friends and made plans to return later this year. The time positively flew by ! This was definitely one of the stand out memories of the trip.Cooking with the host and other class members was lots of fun. Alma and her aunt are wonderfully friendly people and we felt welcome and appreciated by them.

Cooking with the host and other class members was lots of fun. Alma and her aunt are wonderfully friendly people and we felt welcome and appreciated by them. Alma also gave us lots of cultural information, as well as recommendations for places to go and things to see in Playa del Carmen and nearby. Food we prepared was excellent (especially the poblano onion potato dish). Class-made margaritas are part of the experience. This class felt like cooking and laughing with friends, and very personal. It’s well worth the time and money - a great experience!It was a really good experience.

It was a really good experience. She answered all of our questions, gave us the history of Playa del Carmen along with information about different foods, how to pick the freshest & best fruits and vegetables, where & when to buy, places to eat the best Mexican food. The food was the best. I feel I now have more knowledge when I go shopping for groceries.
