Mexican Cuisine Workshop & Tasting ?????

[beverland]

This excursion is being offered thru Celebrity and looks like a fun thing to do. We usually do the "beach" or "snorkeling" thing in Cozumel, but wanted to do something different.

 

Is Playa Mia the beach you can go to with unlimited drinks & water activities? I think they also have a pool here.

 

If you've done this excursion or know anyone who has, please give me all the details. Thanks!!

Bev, could you tell me more about the cuisine deal? Would love to go to that in Nov. Are you saying it's offered AT Playa Mia? Or somewhere in San Miguel? Thx for any info.

Here's the info, Cotton.

 

I thought it looked like fun, but would like to see if anyone else has done it before......

 

Mexican Cuisine Workshop and Tasting

Approximate Duration: 5 Hours

Ever wanted to prepare a full course Mexican meal but didn't have that special recipe nor the secrets to its preparation? Well this tour will give you the opportunity to learn while having a very enjoyable time.

 

This totally unique experience with Mexican Cuisine will begin as you are greeted on the pier and then escorted to an air-conditioned bus for a scenic ride to Playa Mia Grand Beach Park.

 

Upon arrival, a prestigious Chef will lead you into the art and wonders of cooking fine Traditional Mexican cuisine. You will have your individual work station with all the ingredients and utensils ready for you to learn the secrets on how to prepare and serve some of the most delicious recipes from this wonderful culture. A full domestic open bar will be available for you to enjoy at any time.

 

Your Chef will assist you every step of the way and answer any questions that you may have. Once food preparation has been completed, all participants will be served their own creations accompanied by fine Mexican wines and a festive Mexican atmosphere.

Sherri at CozumelInsider also offers an awesome Yucatecan & Mexican Food tasting and cooking class. It looks like it may be a little less expensive and not as long as the one mentioned above.

Thx so much to both of you for the info.

 

I think I would enjoy the "Tasting" Sherri mentioned. Mainly, because it's only 2-3 hours (I do want to do other things, too), and also it's only $30! I'll give this some serious thought. Sounds like mucho fun!

Here's a link to some information I found on this beach - it used to be named Playa del Sol.

I wonder if it's still all inclusive now - that's not what this website info seems to say.

We went there on our last trip to Cozumel.

 

Yes, Playa Sol is now Playa Mia.

 

Did the shore excursion through RCCL. Drinks are included, but food isn't. You have your choice of beverages, but they give them to you in "tiny" plastic cups. My SO drinks beer, so he spent more time going back and forth to get drinks that he did drinking them. If we ever go again, we'll take large coozie cups for the drinks.

 

We spent most of our time around the pool, but you can't get drinks from the pool bar in the "all inclusive" deal. You have to walk a little ways to an inside bar. There are several inside you can choose from.

Has anyone done the Cuisine Excursion? We want to go ahead and book this, but it's not inexpensive, so I'd really like someone else's opinion.
