3.Cozumel: KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

Spend about eight hours at KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park, making tortillas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor in a shaded palapa before enjoying the private beach, buffet, standard open bar, music, and games. Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling, spa services, and VIP access cost extra.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

7.Chocolate Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 92 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $39Best value

At The Mayan Cacao Company in Cozumel, guides such as Paty, Angel, and Eduardo lead a 90-minute workshop on cacao and Mayan chocolate. You grind beans, add flavorings, make a chocolate disk, sample specialty bars, and can shop for gifts afterward.

“Tour was very informative. We certainly learned a lot, but the movie room and chocolate making room were uncomfortably hot - need better air conditioning. Also, we were under the impression that we would be able to adjust flavors to our chocolate, but this wasn't the case and I couldn't keep the instructor from adding 3 scoops of cinnamon to my chocolate mix despite telling him I don't care for cinnamon. I ended up throwing away half of the chocolate I made because it tasted too much of cinnamon (big surprise)”
