Sumptious dinner in a beautiful setting - This was a fun experience and I had the opportunity to create my cocktail prior to dinner. Pick up from meeting point and drop off was on time. Beautiful beach side setting. Mozzie repellent provided by establishment. So many varieties of wine served with each meal, mezcal and tequila tasting too. Hosts were very knowledgeable about the history of Mexican cuisine, engaging ans friendly staff.

Shaken not stirred - Mauricio and his crew were fantastic, hospitable, funny, and knowledgeable about both Mayan history and the different cuisines. It was very fun making your own cocktail step by step!

Incredible Experience - Mauricio took us on an incredible food wine and tequila journey. We experienced not only mixology lesson, we experienced delicious food wine and very good tequila and mezcal. Thank you to the whole team for making the night and memorable experience. Must try for anyone in the Riviera Maya area.

Worth it! - I recommend it with two hands. One of the best experiences. The food was delicious, our host was very entertaining. The staff were polite. We learnt new things about the Mayan and the food. Definitely worth it.

Worth it! - Pros. The property was beautiful: Punta Venado Beach Club by Cancun. Beach front, gorgeous trees, sand, sail coverings. The restaurant area itself was huge and authentic to the vibe. The "gourmet" food was pretty good, the amounts were small, maybe that's the American in me, lol. It was nice to learn that there is more to Mexican food than tacos and tostadas There was champagne, wine pairings, tequila, mezcal. Not a drinker, but the people next to us were very excited. We loved learning about the Tequila etc. The host, Terry, also seemed to enjoy his work. Funny guy, kind, courteous to his co-workers; sharing the credit to the servers, etc. Ines, Luis, Carlos, Chef Edgar! They were all great! Planning to use the recipes that Terry emailed us The driver picked us up on time, the ride was far, but worth it; We came from Mayakoba Fairmont. Cons: Not his fault, but as far as my experience personally. I think it would have been better to create a more interactive vibe to meet the other guests. Exchange names, origins of travel, things to unite us. We felt isolated because the folks next to us were only talking to their tablemates. Which is fine, but Terry asks you sit across from your date and its difficult to talk across the table. Just a thought. Group photos, like on the website would have been fun

Amazing - I’d give this more stars if I could. It was a highlight in a life of travel and a memory to keep me warm during the pandemic since my visit was in February 2020. I was alone and they sat me with another Canadian solo and a couple from France who didn’t speak English. We had so much fun and my old French teachers would have been mighty pressed with the level of my revived French. The food, ever morsel was sublime and the entire evening absolutely amazing. If I return t Rivera Maya, I’ll be budgeting for this.

A wonderful date night with food and wine! - Terry our guide through the food tour was absolutely amazing. He gave us education regarding the Mayan culture and the food regarding it. Nelvia and Joel and Chef Edgar were the best and I'm completely full with wine and food!! Thank you for a wonderful date night and accommodating my gluten allergy.

Excellent food and Great Beach - Even Better Service - Terry, Chet, Edgar, Marrroro, Joel, and Jaret did a great job. Had a blast! The beach here was very secluded. It's a very good place for a date.

Definitely worthwhile - The experience was great. Beautiful beach, entertaining, great service and wonderful ambiance. I would recommend having white wine options for guests that are not a fan of red wines. Also, when a participant states that they have a restriction please truly consider and accommodate them.

It was okay. - It was nothing exceptional for the price. My friend who was a vegetarian was not happy with her alternative. Beautiful backdrop however and host was gracious and informative.
