Also the food was buffet style and I loved it.”

You eventually arrive to the location, and we first did the Jungle Buggys, which were fantastic and very fun. After this, they showed us how chocolate was made, and we had some delicious coffee and chocolate, as well as a taste of the MamaJuana (the taste convinced us, we bought a full bottle 5 minutes later). After this, we did the Ziplines, which were breathtaking and exhilarating. The entire day was amazing, and we felt safe the entire time. The whole crew was very enthusiastic and…”

Coffee / Cigar / Cocoa place was ok, headed to the beach where 5 drinks cost $70’s so watch out if ordering there, the beach was lovely though! The cave was a little packed and not sure it was worth it as you can’t really enjoy that part as you are swiftly moved on. The buggies were in good condition, but you can’t go overly fast or we couldn’t as had 20 buggies in our group and it was stop / start…”
