An Elevated Cooking & Mixology Class Above the Rest
This is exactly the kind of experience you and your friends/ partner would enjoy if you appreciate a more elevated yet still authentic cooking class. The food was fun and insanely delicious, clean, fresh ingredients and great skills you can take home. It was easy enough for my boyfriend who would consider himself a beginner, but challenging enough for me who feels more comfortable in the kitchen lol. Coti is honest and passionate and makes the entire night feel personalized. I cant wait to come back. I definitely recommend coming with an appetite and being adventurous!
Response from the operator: Gracias Kolei and David for coming and being such great students! I hope you have made some of the cocktails or food that you learned and that the making of it brought you back memories of your wonderful vacation here in Playa. Hope to see you guys again! And again, thank you 🙏 for such a lovely review…. Saludos! Coty

Authentic Mexican culinary experience
Togethet with my girlfriend we took a class on appetizer and drink preparation. It was a wonderful experience. It was delicious and we had a great time. The chef is very friendly. She explained everything thoroughly and told us all sorts of interesting facts, not only about the cuisine but also about Mexico. The drinks and food they prepared were delicious. We will definitely make them at home. I highly recommend it!
Response from the operator: Thank you Wojciech & Natalia for coming and for your kind words! It was very nice to meet you both. Happy mexican cooking & drinking in Poland! Yay!! Saludos Coty

Great activity to add to your next trip to playa!
Had such a great time at the cooking school, dinner with Coti was a highlight. Picked up a few new recipes, the drinks were amazing, and already looking forward to bringing my parents on our next trip to Playa. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Gracias Yaitza! Was lovely to meet you and Joe! So happy you both enjoyed the cocktails and Mexican food and I am already looking forward to meeting your parents for a second round… ;) Don’t forget to tell me what you already did so we do a full set of different drinks and dishes. I always do that with all my repeat clients! See you guys in winter! Saludos Coty

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class?
+
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 DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 16. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class?
+
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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does DRINKING SCHOOL: Mexican Cocktail & Appetizer Class 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 Playa del Carmen 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. 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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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 Playa del Carmen?
+
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.
