Salsa and Guacamole Lesson
We all had the most fun and learned a lot. The salsa and guacamole was delicious and so were the margaritas! Eric was awesome! He came into work on his birthday. The massages were wonderful too. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Beach Day
The food and drinks were excellent but, lunch was not included. Staff were friendly, considerate and attentive. The beach was nice and clean. The only downside was the constant intrusion of "sellers" hawking all kinds of "stuff". Enjoyed the massage and learning how to enhance my guacamole. There are not a lot of excursion options at this port of call.

Yummy salsa, short massage, crowded beach.
The cooking was very good with the open bar . Eddy was fun and very in tune with us as a group . We made salsa and guacamole!!!🥑 What I didn’t like : 1. “Transportation is provided” as stated in ad. and Eddie met us at ship which was really nice, but then when we arrived , taxi asked to be paid ! 2. The cooking was on a very crowded beach in the sand. 3. loved the massage but it was only 20 mins one side !!! Urggg 4. Beach too crowded to enjoy. 5. Had to find our own way back! When “transportation was provided” 6. Not worth the money sadly.

Wonderful cooking and beach experience with very friendly host and crew!
My husband and I booked this excursion for one of the stops on a cruise, and we had a wonderful time. Eric, the chef who led the experience, was incredibly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Our experience started with relaxing 30-minute massages under an awning on the beach. We then sat at a table under an awning on the beach while Eric and his assistant provided an interactive lesson making fresh salsa and guacamole - accompanied by beverages (water, beer). Eric was charming, shared insights about the reason for certain preparation and ingredients, and remained attentive throughout. Plus, we got to eat our own creations accompanied by plenty of tortilla chips. We ended our time sitting in lounge chairs by the water (shaded and full sun options) where we could wade in a shallow shore or just relax and enjoy the beach. The one recommendation I'd make if you book is asking for clarity about the transportation - it wasn't clear if transportation from/to the Port was included (no mention of it in the confirmation, where to meet, etc), so we made our own way there by taxi (a very reasonable $4/pp). Eric arranged and paid for a taxi for our return. All in all, we both had a really nice time and would definitely recommend it.

Great experience and I'm now a converted guacamole connoisseur!
This was a fun and relaxing experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed. The chef was personable and gave us lots of tips and instruction on how to create the perfect salsa and guacamole. We enjoyed making our own dishes following his guidance and the results were delicious! I was not a guacamole eater prior to this experience ... but I think I'm converted now! Who knew that cucumber was one of the secret ingredients?! I've already gone to the grocery after we got home and purchased the ingredients so we can test our skills again. The beach was beautiful and I only wish we had a little more time to spend there after our class but our ship was leaving port early that day so we had to hurry back unfortunately. Great experience and we would do it again!

Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Costa Maya.
How much does Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage cost?
+
Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Costa Maya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Costa Maya is not rushed.
Is Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Costa Maya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Costa Maya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Costa Maya and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Costa Maya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Costa Maya?
+
On Outty we rank every Costa Maya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chacchoben & Bacalar Combo Excursion Costa Maya, Costa Maya Shore Excursion Chacchoben Day Trip, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins from Costa Maya. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Costa Maya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Costa Maya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Full use beach club facilities; 30 minutes of Relaxing massage (adults only); and Cooking classes. Not included: Tips; Only adults massage; and transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Beach day experience + Mexican Cooking Class + Massage?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
