We had the absolute best time! We made an amazing Yucutan cuisine meal complete with margaritas and dessert. Marisol and her team were so sweet and helpful and the view from the kitchen is absolutely breathtaking. Completely worth the money!

It is not a chefs table in the kitchen. Very over priced for the experience.

Nice experience and very pleasant hosts. Something interesting to do in Cancun if you are a foodie. Would have enjoyed more dessert or drinks....maybe ask and see if they can add more for an additional charge if its your preference too. I should have done that.

My wife and I had a great meal at the culinary center. As it turned out, we were the only 2 people for the chefs table which was a team of 3 people. This allowed us to have a very personalized experience and it was well worth the money. All 5 courses were very interesting and authentic. The drink parings were very good as well.

We did both an interactive dinner (some cooking class work, but mostly eating) and a chef's table. Both were FANTASTIC. Highly recommended. Chef Marisol and her staff are charming and talented. We loved what was prepared, loved the explanations and interesting facts about different foods and their place in the Mayan and/or Mexican culture, and truly loved the personal attention and service. A really special, fun, exceptional dining adventure.

What a great culinary experience in a fantastic and beautiful setting. We had Ritz Carlton Chef Marisol prepare a delicious meal while teaching us about the ingredients and history of the dishes. It was just my husband and I plus the staff of 4 chefs- WOW!! We loved the experience and the meal was 5 Star!! We will highly recommend.
