Cozumel: KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

3.KUZÁ Beach Day, Buffet, Open Bar & Mexican Flavors Class

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $89

At KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park, your day combines a hands-on Mexican cooking class with beach access, buffet dining, and standard open-bar service. Make tortillas, guacamole, and tacos al pastor under a beachfront palapa, then swim, relax, or browse the park’s trails and artisan market. Transport and water-sports rentals cost extra.

“Let me say that the staff at Kuza was very nice but that's pretty much the only positive for me. Taxi rides to and from the park were very expensive. Pretty much predatory and there is absolutely no mention of that cost when booking the excursion. Just FYI it cost $65 for 2 adults and 3 kids one way. We were told we could negotiate but once they know you have reservations, you're at their mercy. When we arrived at Kuza, we were taken back to the beach and told that our Mexican flavors class was at 9:15am and then another staff member told us 9:30. We arrived around 9:20…”

Our guide Patty was wonderful. First we were given a history of Mayan Cocoa which contained many interesting facts then we had the opportunity to taste freshly made corn tortillas before moving on the the making of Chocolate. It was hard work using the Mortar and Pestle but lots of fun. We had a great time.…”
