We enjoyed our tour with Nancy. It was a wonderful experience learning about the process of making chocolate. We made our own chocolate bar to take with us. This is a great opportunity and experience if you want something fun to do.

What an amazing place and tour. They keep it small purposefully and do not sell their experience on cruise ships. Our family was the only one there and it could not have been more amazing. We’re on a cruise ship with 6,500 people and we never saw a single other cruiser.

Our tour was amazing!! So much fun. Jafet did an amazing job guiding us on our tour—the history, and process of making chocolate. We got to taste lots of yummy samples. Jafet even asked about any allergies we may have, and made sure I didn’t get anything with nuts. Which I truly appreciate. Then showed us how to make our own chocolate. Everyone there was so friendly. We will be back!

Absolutely amazing tour and chocolate history and making experience! Jafet did a great job answering questions, giving us a history lesson, and of course making and tasting chocolate. This place makes chocolate the old fashioned way. Limited machinery, just hands on work. The building was really nice and authentic. Everyone was so friendly! This is the best tour I’ve been on. This is an absolute must to do when in Cozumel.

Hugely enjoyable experience What is there not to like? Excellent chocolate to taste, an informative and entertaining presentation followed by the opportunity to make your own chocolate bar starting with the bean. The hot chocolate drink (chocolate, vanilla, chilli and pepper) was one of the best drinks of any description that I have ever had. I loved the whole experience.

Bean There, Made That! What a fantastic experience! Our guide, Nancy, was friendly and informative, sharing fascinating insights into both the chocolate-making process and the cultural history behind it. We got to explore the production area and sample a wide range of chocolate varieties—each more delicious than the last.The best part was crafting our own chocolate from scratch, starting with raw cacao beans and finishing with a personalized chocolate disc. We also had the chance to try a traditional Mayan-style chocolate beverage, which was both unique and flavorful.This tour is a must for chocolate lovers and anyone curious about how chocolate is made!

A delightful experience We recently stopped in Cozumel on a Disney Cruise, and our local guide recommended a visit here. We were traveling with our children (ages 4 and 12), and this was such a fun stop for all of us. The employees and tour guide were so friendly, we learned a lot about chocolate, we the taste testing was such a delight. If you're on a cruise and want to spend a bit of time authentically experiencing the island, you can't go wrong here!

Nancy gave us an excellent tasting tour My husband and son had an unexpected afternoon in Cozumel after our cruise line changed ports. I wouldn't suggest it for everyone, but we walked from the cruise terminal and thought at first the chocolate factory was closed. After locating a bell, we were greeted by Nancy who informed us we were too late for the chocolate making experience, but we could have a tour and a chocolate tasting for $10/person. SOLD! Nancy did a fantastic job explaining the chocolate making process from seed to pod to chocolate that is consumable. We got to taste all manner of states of cocoa, as well as get to see how this factory produces its products. We left after buying many items from them (from cocoa butter to chocolate covered cranberries). Would highly recommend!

If you like Chocolate you must do this! What an amazing time we had with Wendy making Chocolate and learning the history of my favorite snack. She was so fun and so passionate about her craft. The wine tasting with each of the chocolate flavors was something I will try to share with my friends at home. Such a fun day and I would do this again. Definitely have a new appreciation for real chocolate. Thank you Wendy! You made our day.

Fun and delicious I did this with my family several years ago, and it was wonderful. I can never have regular hot chocolate again. This authentic homemade recipe was delicious. And it was fun. Highly recommend if you are looking for something to do that most ages can enjoy.

Make your own chocolate - yum! We spent a couple of hours here and it was excellent. You get to taste more than 20 different types of chocolates before getting to make some of your very own to take home. It is a little bit further away from the center of Cozumel but a quick taxi ride away. My older mother loved it and we are so glad we took her there.

The Kaokao Factory Tour was an Enjoyable experience The Kaokao Factory Tour was excellent it included a tour, chocolate tasting and we made our own chocolate. It was informative and enjoyable. Because we were early we had breakfast and coffee at the restaurant next door. You will not be disappointed with this tour.It is about 15 minutes from the International cruise port and sits in a neighbor . we took a taxi from the cruise port it was 25 dollars for up to 4 people (I believe)
