An Elevated Cooking & Mixology Class Above the Rest
This is exactly the kind of experience you and your friends/ partner would enjoy if you appreciate a more elevated yet still authentic cooking class. The food was fun and insanely delicious, clean, fresh ingredients and great skills you can take home. It was easy enough for my boyfriend who would consider himself a beginner, but challenging enough for me who feels more comfortable in the kitchen lol. Coti is honest and passionate and makes the entire night feel personalized. I cant wait to come back. I definitely recommend coming with an appetite and being adventurous!
Operator response
Gracias Kolei and David for coming and being such great students!
I hope you have made some of the cocktails or food that you learned and that the making of it brought you back memories of your wonderful vacation here in Playa.
Hope to see you guys again!
And again, thank you 🙏 for such a lovely review….
Saludos!

Authentic Mexican culinary experience
Togethet with my girlfriend we took a class on appetizer and drink preparation. It was a wonderful experience. It was delicious and we had a great time. The chef is very friendly. She explained everything thoroughly and told us all sorts of interesting facts, not only about the cuisine but also about Mexico. The drinks and food they prepared were delicious. We will definitely make them at home. I highly recommend it!
Operator response
Thank you Wojciech & Natalia for coming and for your kind words!

Delicious experience
Coty class was great! The cocktails we made where delicious and paired perfectly with the appetizers we made. The food and cocktails were so yummy and Coty was very welcoming and provided details on the ingredients and preparations. I definitely recommend this class. I will be attending another when I go back.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Operator response
Gracias Stephanie and Jackie for coming, laughing, cooking and drinking! We had so much fun, eh?

Highlight of our trip!
I cannot say enough good things about this class! Chef Coty is wonderful, so sweet and welcoming, and her recipes are both creative and authentic (not to mention delicious!) I am a vegetarian and my partner does not eat seafood and Chef Coty accommodated both of us beautifully. The class has a very fun and laid-back atmosphere and we had a great time learning while we drank our tasty cocktails and listened to Chef's great playlist. We are so excited to put our new skills to use at home and would come back in a heartbeat to learn more!
Operator response
Thank you Jennifer for your kind words!
Yes, your class was a challenge with a vegetarian, Amelia only eating meat and the other two girls wanting seafood!! 😱
Jajajaja
But I always manage to make menus that fit…
So happy you had fun, enjoyed and learned!!
Keep practicing your new skills in the kitchen and see you both next time!
Saludos

Tequila nite
Fun evening. Unusual drinks and appetizers. Lots of laughs and a great time trying new food in CoCo's kitchen/home.
Operator response
Gracias Kenneth for coming and for your review! Yes, all drinks and food are my own creation so they will not be the usual stuff you get in a bar or even in a restaurant….
Happy you enjoyed the class!

Learning is fun and delicious !
This was so fun , delicious ! The entire staff was professional, helpful, fun. We got to be very hands on or we could watch and learn .it was our choice,it was great to learn professional techniques. We also made delicious cocktails ! and we left with all the recipes for each drink and appetizer! I’d do this class again.
