Two couples had to have the chocolate reheated to be able to make the chocolate bars. The class lists for an hour but we were there several. They have a mini market on site so plan to do a bit of shopping before or after the class.”

Un petit apéro improvisé sur la première plage visitée. Lors de notre excursion nous avons rencontré un petit problème avec le moteur du bateau en repartant d'une plage.

Un grand merci à notre guide Shalomy (Haïtienne) qui nous a accompagnée toute la journée. Une visite "privée" pour nous... quoi de mieux. Excursion que nous recommandons!!!

Our party ranged from 30-88 and all found it enjoyable. Transportation was excellent. Arrived a couple of minutes late but nice air conditioned van and very kind to our grandmother who is hard of walking. Nothing was rushed. Really good communication ahead of time via WhatsApp and email. If you’re in Punta Cana, would highly recommend. Had about 20 mins to shop as the chocolate cooled, which was a nice touch. But nothing pushy. The chocolate is delicious, too!!”
