Delicious food and dance lesson, made for a fun date night in the middle of our trip to Costa Rica. We chose to drive ourselves but it was easy to find and we appreciated the small group size. Highly recommend!

Fun

The dinner preparation was well streamlined. It felt fun - not like work. There were two other families there besides us. There's def something for all ages, but prob not under 3 years old. There was plenty to eat! The meal is their 'typical' food. We were the only ones to stay for the Salsa lesson, so it felt like a private lesson. It was about an hour and was awesome. It was up in a cool loft and was so much fun (even if you have 2 left feet!!).

Really enjoyed this activity! They made our 7 year old feel special and included throughout all the cooking steps. The salsa dancing afterwards was so much fun. Recommend this for an evening in La Fortuna. You can drive and park there or be picked up.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY!

This company had to cancel my tour and experience due to their own incompetence. I had spoken extensively with a representative via WhatsApp to arrange transportation from my hotel to the cooking and salsa class. I was looking forward to the experience the whole trip. The day comes, I'm waiting and waiting for transport to arrive. Mind you, I specifically booked the transportation through them instead of on my own because I thought it'd be more reliable and I paid close to $70 extra for it. They were supposed to pick me up at 4 pm and the class started at 5. I text them to confirm at 4:05, 4:25, and 4:33. They finally respond at 4:35 and tell me they're calling the driver. At 4:44 pm they tell me there was a misunderstanding and they'll refund me because the driver isn't near me. I was so so upset. I was so excited and I could've just used my own transport. I had to miss the company's tour due to the company's own transportation. This is by far the most unprofessional experience I've had from a tour company. It ruined my day that I'd planned around it and was supposed to be one of the most fun parts of the trip. I wouldn't reccomend this company to my worst enemy. They should truly be ashamed of themselves. Edit: just read their one star reviews. This has happened countless times to countless customers. This is a shameful excuse of a company and you should choose a different company when planning a once in a lifetime trip with your hard earned money. This wasn't just a misunderstanding; it was an accurate representation of the company's business practices and lack of regard to their customers.

Operator response

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by this situation. We understand how frustrating it was to miss an experience you were excited about due to the transportation issue and lack of timely communication. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and your feedback is being taken seriously with our operations team to help prevent situations like this in the future. We sincerely apologize for the negative experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Thank you for choosing Desafio Adventure Company.
