Salsa, Salsa and More Salsa!

What a day! We had the best time making salsa with chef Angel! Delicious and learned a few new tricks to make Salsa. Drinks we excellent, facility was beautiful! Everything was so clean and inviting. We will definitely be returning to Playa Mia!

My niece and I enjoyed a great time with Chef Angel/Dance Instructor and his assistant, Jonathan along with the other wonderful staff. The Salsa we prepared was perfect, the drinks delicious and the Salsa instructions entertaining. My thanks to Jonathan for patiently tolerating my attempts. The resort was very neat and clean as well as in a perfect setting. We would go again when we return.

We had a blast! The resort was great and then the salsa salsa salsa was better than I imagined. The people were so friendly and fun! It was the best excursion I’ve been on in years!! Highly recommend

Very Good. Nice & very clean. The guy that held the class was lots of fun. Beach & waiters were awesome. Thank you for a memorable day. Buffet had lots of choices & was very good. It was a plus+++.

We had zero idea what to expect but this was excellent! We made 3 kinds of salsa and learned to dance too! This takes place at a public/private beach access and it includes drinks, food and access to the beach! Chef Angel made it lots of fun no matter your skill level or reaction! Highly recommend!

This excursion of making pico de gallo, Smokey salsa and guacamole was so much fun and delicious. Drinks were included and we ate our creations with chips and quesadillas. The salsa dancing was only about 20 mins and wished it would have been a bit more. Overall a great experience.

The day starts off with a few hours at the beach club then we had salsa making class and a brief salsa dance lesson. Our Chef was AMAZING!!!! Great day off the boat in Cozumel.

Beach location was beautiful food was good. The salsa making demo was fantastic! The teach was so entertaining we really made this whole excursion worth it. Really appreciated all the knowledge he shared. We finished off the tour with learning how to salsa dance. It was a nice touch.

This was the perfect escape from the ship. We spent 3 hours enjoying the pool, slides, and beach before being treated by Lalo to the most fun time making 3 salsas and learning the basics of the Salsa dance.

There were seven of us on this salsa & salsa excursion and everyone said it was one of, if not the, best excursion they had been on - and there were platinum level cruisers in our group. The Playa Mia folks were welcoming and attentive, from the kiosk guys who got us on our way to the host at the site and the chef, bar crew and our salsa instructor. Several of us are experienced cooks and we agreed the recipes and cooking chemistry demonstrated were new and valuable. We got history and cultural lessons that brought a lot of depth to the class. The margaritas, especially the tamarind ones, were fantastic. The dancing class was a riot. Great music, a fantastic instructor and so much happy laughter. Playa Mia is a perfect venue. Lovely staff, great shopping and exceptional facilities. Here's the most telling thing I can say: it was as lovely, if not more so, than the website. The staff at Playa Mia are pros - we felt like welcome friends the whole day.

2 hours on the beach enjoying the sun, the open bar and all the amenities of the resort before we started our salsa making class and salsa dancing. We lucked up and had the class all to ourselves so we got some special treatment with dancing and drinking. Our instructors we all wonderful and we would do this excursion again !!

We booked this trip last week as my parents who are avid cruisers had done it before and had always loved it. And it did not disappoint!! They were very accommodating and went out of their way to make sure that a good time was had by all. The mango margaritas were fantastic and Angel is a great teacher of both making salsa and dancing it! Thank you to everyone there for giving us a wonderful family memory that we will always cherish.

My husband and I had a BLAST at this excursion - instructor was very entertaining, the salsa we made was yummy - the drinks were excellent! The dance move instruction was hilarious but FUN! Highly recommend this excursion!

This excursion was lots of fun. Loved making the salsa and enjoyed the dance lesson and drinks. The beach was great. So glad we did all three excursions.

We really liked this excursion. It was so much fun making salsa with everyone. The beach was a lot of fun too. I just wish the instructor would of said something about buying pictures because we would of.

Nuestro Tour nos parecio muy Bueno y divertido, la manera en que los chicos lo llevan acabo es agradable, nos enseñaron a preparar 3 tipos de Salsas, muy buenas por cierto y a la hora de aprender unos cuantos pasos de salsa, la pasamos bien. No se diga que temenos el Bufett disponible y esta super completisimo, comimos hasta satisfacernos y mas. Hasta tuvimos tiempo de disfrutar la playa. Se sacaron un 100 con este Tour.

Great excursion for anyone in Cozumel. Learn how to make a variety of salsa while the margaritas are flowing freely, followed by salsa dance lessons. By the time the dancing starts, you no longer care if your look stupid, you just have a great time. The rule according to Pita, the instructor, is that it only counts as one margarita if you keep filling the same glass.

We read all the reviews prior to booking this excursion, and they were right on the money. We had such a fun time. Chef Lalo was very entertaining and kept the party atmosphere going the whole time. Depending on what cruise line you are on and what port you coming in there is a walk to the meeting place. We came in on Carnival and it was about 6 city blocks. Class starts with learning how to make the different salsas. don't worry about if you do not like spicy.. you get to choose how little or much you would like. Yes there is drinking, but you can also choose water, soda, juice, etc. Salsa dancing is nothing to "major" it was 5 different moves and then putting them together. We had fun with our group and starting making up our own moves. After the classes you have time to soak up the sun, pool, more food or they will get you a taxi back to the port for shopping. This is a great excursion and highly recommend!!!!

Our teacher was amazing. Was tons of fun and extremely personal. The beach was nice. Pool looked very relaxing 😎. Food was fantastic, and the teacher was A+!!!! Highly recommended!!

This was truly the best excursion I've been on while cruising! Scuba diving, snorkeling, whale watching, city tours, ruins, all were great, but this was my favorite by far. The resort was fantastic and the salsa making class was so much fun. Lalo was so engaging and made this such a memorable time.

We really enjoyed our excursion. The food, drinks, and location were all great. The staff at the resort were friendly and helpful. The instructor / guide was very friendly and made the event fun. Would not hesitate to do it again.

This was a great tour! We had a group of about 18 and the chefs were wonderful. The food was delicious, dancing was fun and then had beach time! I would definitely recommend this as it had variety. I would do it again!!

The hosts were fun, entertaining and made this a real good time for everyone. The food was great and drinks were unbelievable. I enjoyed the whole time I was there.

This was the highlight of our cruise! Great fun with Lalo and his team. Watch out for the Salud game!

Awesome excursion! Oddly, nobody else signed up, so we had a private class. The 3 salsa recipes were simple and delicious and not only did we learn HOW to make the recipes, we learned WHY each step was done that way. Our teacher, Lalo, made the class. He was such fun and we really enjoyed talking and laughing with him. We were given extremely tasty margaritas during the class, which were a special kind not available at the other bars at the beach club. But after the class, we were still free to stay at the beach club as long as we liked and partake of the open bars. The food bar was only so-so, but the food we ate in the class was excellent, so we were full anyway! I recommend bringing a beach towel with you since you have to pay to rent them on the beach. Also, be aware that you are asked not to wear sunscreen at the beach to preserve the coral, so pack accordingly. There are also pools, water slides, etc, if you prefer fresh water. All in all, a fantastic day at the beach!

Esta es sin duda nuestra mejor experiencia. Fuimos recibidos con esmero, atendidos con prontitud y el sitio ("Playa Mia"), maravilloso. La actividad muy divertida y realmente aprendimos a hacer salsas y bailar salsa. Al contrario de los lugares anteriores, este es un sitio en el que nos sentimos seguros y con una esmerada y muy inteligente atención que incluye hasta la cortesía del transporte de regreso que nos ofreció tomarnos unas lindas fotos sin aceptar propina luego. Aquí queremos regresar.

This was the most fun activity we had the entire seven days on the cruise! We loved every bit of it. The club was beautiful and the beach quite clean. I would do this all over again.

Our family of 6, all adults, had a great time! My grown children were hesitant about this excursion and it turned out to be their favorite of the cruise! Would highly recommend.

Our group was 8, my husband, myself, 3 adult kids & spouses. Directions were clear, transport, schedule ready. Van to Playa Mia, greeted by contact Luis, showed a bar (drinks included), beach, pool with time before class. Small fee umbrellas, short wait for life vests, swam to inflatables, more strenuous maneuvering than expected but FUN! Met chef Lalo, sat in pairs, put on aprons, name tags. Adults started with tequila shot “Salud”, agreed to play a game (with a hangover, bartender made me “suaro”). If you drank, you toasted “salud”, everyone followed, If you forgot, you took a shot. The bartender kept margaritas and cervasa coming. We made pico, roasted vegetable salsa, guacamole. Lalo was entertaining. A break then returned to dance. Lalo walked through basic steps, counted. Learned 4 steps and put to music! After dancing we ate our salsa with fajitas, tacos, quesadillas served from the downstairs kitchen. We went shopping, shuttled back. Recipes were shared! Highly recommended!

Salsa, Salsa, and More Salsa was, hands down, the best part of our vacation. The excursion includes the transportation to and from the resort. The staff were conscientious of our need to be back at the port by a certain time. The cooking class was so informative and so much fun. The dance class was super. And the resort is beautiful. We were so full from the cooking class that we did not even eat the buffet so I can't speak to it. But, the open bar was awesome. The kids really enjoyed the inflatables. Life jackets are provided, free of charge. It was overall a fabulous experience for our entire family.

What a great time we had making Salsa and dancing. The instructor made sure everyone was involved. We got to know the couple sitting next to us best and now have friends for life. We'd do this excursion again.

Our hose Lalo was fantastic. He showed us how to make salsa, and the salsa dance moves. I liked the part, if you didn’t say salute when you took a drink, you had to do a shot of tequila. The beach area was amazing. Definitely would go back there.

Lalo, Moses, and Gonzalo were great. They made this excursion extremely fun. Lalo kept us entertained with tequila shots and margaritas made by Gonzalo. Gonzalo also made virgin margaritas for those underage or choosing not to drink. Moses was the chef and showed us how to make the guacamole and salsa. After the food making and eating we learned how to salsa. I don't dance but Lalo made learning how to salsa a lot of fun. After the dancing we had free time at the water park. My daughter and step son had fun on the huge water slide in the ocean and on the beach. I spent time in the whirlpool. It was great fun and I will take the excursion again next time we are in Cozumel

After leaving the Royal Caribbean I walked across the street to the Hard Rock Cafe and was warmly welcomed into a taxi. Playa Mia is a beautiful resort with pools for adults and kids, open bar, international buffet and white clean sand.. Eduardo, our chef, spoke perfect English and was a great person to learn from. I personally chose not to do the Salsa dancing in the afternoon and I do regret not having my swim suit. I enjoyed finding an empty lounge under a palm tree watching the children making sand castles and people on jet skis.. The staff was super attentive and close at hand if you wanted anything.The restrooms were clean and the areas around the pools were alive with green grass and vibrant flowers. There are shopping opportunities too. When I was ready to go I found Julio and was back on a taxi to the Hard Rock Cafe. I certainly will go back to Playa Mia because it was very friendly and I felt like a celebrity on this beautiful resort along the beach with blue clear water.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Salsa, Salsa and More Salsa!! Lalo was a wonderful host / instructor. The Salsa's we made were delicious and they were kind enough to provide us with the recipes! Highly recommend this excursion!!

Lalo and the staff were fantastic and made the entire experience so fun! I would definitely do this one again! The food was delicious and the dancing was great!

We learn how to make salsa 3 types they can was very delicious. He made it so fun and interesting with his co workers. Everyone was so welcome they was very polite. I would definitely come back. I hope this stays around. We learned how to salsa dance to. We have access to everything at their resort so no need to waste you money on another resort. Buffet was so delicious better than the food on the cruise. Recommend definitely for pregnant women althoughyou can’t deink all the free alcohol they give you ugh. But i love it!! Also they provide free transportation at this resort.

This excursion was PERFECT. Lalo and his crew were absolutely amazing. Had an incredible time learning how to make the salsas as well as drinking and dancing! Also, the beach was beautiful and we had our own private area. Access to 2 pools, water park and jacuzzi. OPEN BAR which was great. Bartenders were amazing. Open buffet which was also nice. All in all this made our stop in Cozumel absolutely worth it and I most definitely recommend this excursion! You will not be disappointed!

This excursion was so much fun. We made salsa, guacamole danced and eat. Edu was very personable and fun. I really recommend it.

Totally love this activity... great staff and beautiful place...

Fun fun fun great way to spend some hours out of the sun!

We were driven to this beautiful water park with a huge marquee tent over a dining area. The park had a number of brightly painted buildings. We were shown into the bright pink building where we met Lalo and Moses - that’s when the fun began. Lalo instructed us on the ingredients with which we were to make three kinds of Salsas. Following the instructions turned out to be very important. Moses served us beautiful margaritas but tequilas were the penalty drink of the day!!! Tasty Salsas resulted then our lovely lunch after which we learned how to Salsa dance. Had a fabulous time with such a lot of great fun. Afterwards we swam in the large pool before being taken back to our ship. Highly recommend this excursion.

My wife and I were on a cruise and booked the Salsa, Salsa and more Salsa shore excursion. We really enjoyed it. The young gentleman hosting the class was amazing and extremely funny and the food and margaritas where fantastic. We will highly recommend this to our family, friends and coworkers.

What a great learning experience. The instructors made the class very entertaining and fun. I highly recommend the class and the beach location.

We real enjoyed our port day at Playa Mia in Cozumel. So different from the normal beach excursion. The morning was spent making our salsas and guacamole with our chef Lalo , followed by dancing lessons, then lunch with our creations. Beach afternoon with open bar and buffet. Great well organized experience for the reasonable cost. Recommended!!

We had a lot of fun. Chef Lalo was a great host. Made salsa and guacamole, drank excellent margaritas and learned basic Salsa Dance steps. Best 51st birthday ever. Afterwards we enjoyed the beach and had access to the bar and food buffet. Beach was gorgeous.

My wife loves cooking classes and I usually tag along. However, I loved this class. Very informative and very fun. A step by step course in making 3 different salsa's while having mango and tamarindo margaritas served fresh from the bar. The room is air conditioned for a brief escape from the sun. After the margaritas and salsa making, it's time learning the dance. Afterwards, there is beach or pool to lounge, buffet, and open bar. Lalo and staff are very informative and make the experience very pleasant. Salud!

This excursion was so much fun. We had a party of 10 family members and it was a time of laughter, learning, dancing and eating. I would would do this one again. Well worth the cost.

Salsa, Salsa and More Salsa! This was so much fun, the food and drinks were amazing! I would recommend doing this next time you are in town!!!

Good food, lasted just a little too long

This excursion was a great alternative to the sun, sand, and water excursions. We learned how to cook three different salsas, drink different margaritas and learn salsa dancing. Lalo, the instructor was so much fun. Highly recommend.

Wasn’t to keen on the salsa dancing when friends wanted to do this excursion, but all in all it was fun. You start out with a drink and then make 3 different salsas then learn a few salsa dance steps. It was a good experience. The salsa was sooooo good and I don’t really like guacamole but fresh is fabulous. Lalo was so fun great guide..

We couldn't believe how much this package came with. Salsa and guacamole cooking lesson, unlimited Mexican taco bar, unlimited alcohol and open bar, made-to-order frozen margaritas!! And it was a fun, easy to follow salsa dancing class. So fun and great memories plus photo opps! Would go again.

This shore excursion had proved to be the very best one yet. Very professionally done everyone was enjoying themselves and we got to meet and interact with several new friends. Can't say enough about this most enjoyable excursion. Don't miss it.

Best Excursion EVER!!

Maybe it was the tequila, but we had so much fun letting Omar and friends not only teach us how to make authentic Pico de gallo, Mayan salsa and guacamole, but also give great instruction to some pretty toasty people on how to Salsa dance. The fun kept going as Omar was a witty, and very entertaining host. He needs his own show on Food Network.

I had so much fun. From the beginning, everyone made us feel at ease. Of course, the margaritas helped as well. Our instructors were amazing! Great tips for salsa and Salsa!!

We had so much fun on this excursion! Everything was perfectly and efficiently planned out. The chefs that taught us to make guacamole and salsa were very nice and knowledgeable and the non-stop margaritas and tequila shots were great. After cooking and dancing, we lounged in the pool and by the beach the rest of the day, partaking of the open bar and endless food buffet. This is by far one of the best excursions ever!

Really enjoyed this excursion. Expected it to be good, but it was GREAT! Transportation was easy to find, Lalo was a FANTASTIC chef instructor plus bonus dance instructor. Thirteen y.o. girl felt completely at ease with everything, as did I, her mom. Resort and beach area exceeded expectations. Would do it again if in Cozumel!

I was a bit apprehensive to book an excursion outside of the cruise line but this was the best decision! Everything was well planned and organized from the moment of check-in to the moment we arrived back at the ship. The chefs were so much fun and everything was delicious and interactive. We weren't totally sold on the salsa dancing in concept but it was a blast. Everything about this excursion was top notch, especially the price! And, not only was this significantly less expensive than through the cruise line, but they allowed us to leave whenever we wanted and just put us in a paid cab back to the ship. The cruise line excursion had set departure times or you were on your own. The beach was lovely and the facilities were clean. Service was A+. Highly recommend!!
