Make your own Mayan Chocolate from scratch!

  We walked here from Royal Caribbean's port in Cozumel. Enjoyed our walk and enjoyed the full tour. Stephanie did a great job. This is a great value... read more and a very cute little venue.

  This was a great experience. Small family operation and our tour guide Emmanuel made it feel more like we were visiting a friend than on a tour. Easy Taxi ride... read more got us there early. He met us at the entrance and offered AC, Wifi, coffee and water while we waited. Very conversational explanation of how chocolate was discovered and how they make it with “Plentiful” samples throughout. Then the chance to grind out own beans, mix in the sugar and wrap up our own chocolate was hands on fun. After he called us a cab and even answered our questions about other things in the area. Fantastic time from start to finish. Thank you

  Our tour guide, Stephanie, was the best! It was obvious that she loves her job and she made sure we enjoyed every minute of our tour. She took us through... read more the process of making chocolate from cacao beans to chocolate bars. We tasted a typical hot chocolate drink and made our own individual chocolate bars. There was a variety of products available to purchase in their store and we loaded up before we left. This tour is our favorite tour of the island.

  Last week we had the pleasure of visiting Kaokao Chocolate Factory and meeting the delightful owners and enjoyed a quick tour of the facilities. Then the highlight of the... read more day was having Stephanie teach us the history of cacao tree and how chocolate is produced. We had the chance to grind our own beans and create our own chocolate bars.
I am especially interested in the Mayan way of using chocolate and how it has changed once Mexico was exposed sugar via the Spanish. I recommend that anyone interested in the history and variety of chocolate to visit Kaokao. The tasting alone was worth the price of admission! Simply delightufl!!!!

  We did the tour and making experience. Stephanie was our guide and she was amazing. So knowledgeable and fun. You could tell she really enjoys what she does. After having... read more this chocolate for many year in Cancun and always bringing it home. We finally got to Cozumel on a cruise. We knew we had to go to the factory. Well worth every penny. Really neat to get to taste chocolate at all different stages. Not to mention being able to make your own and bring home some of the best chocolate in the world. They make truly premium products with only natural/traditional processes. If you are near by stop in and say hi to Stephanie.

  GREAT tour for chocolate lovers !!! - Due to my husband being in a wheelchair, we needed a handicap accessible excursion/tour. This tour was EXCELLENT! However, he did have to use his walker to... read more go up one step into the room where most of the tour is held. We did the longer version of this tour bc we wanted to learn about the process of making chocolate, as well as the experience of actually making chocolate on our own, starting with the bean. A totally great experience from start to finish. It's also great because they only take small groups at a time, which provides a much better experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything was wonderful and now that we're home, it's taking a lot of will power not to eat all the chocolate up in one sitting. SO much better than store bought chocolate.
