5.00The bean to bar excursion exceeded our expectations. The hotel chocolat team were great. The mud baths were fun but the sunset catamaran was amazing. Food at hotel chocolat was included and was delicious. Also had buffet food and drinks on the catamaran. It was a long day but worth every second. Special mention to Smiley, our guide, he was great fun. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting St Lucia. X

5.00John was a great instructor and made our class very enjoyable! We learned about how the different types of chocolate are made and now understand how chocolate was made before machines... by hand!

5.00This is the perfect tour for chocolate lovers. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. You learn a lot, have a great tour of the Rabot Estate and make your own chocolate. It has been the highlight of our visit to St Lucia. We are huge Hotel Chocolate fans and it has been an amazing experience finding out where the chocolate comes from, and the sustainability of the estate.

Too expensive for what you get

3.00This was a visit we were really looking forward to as a family, but sadly we left feeling very underwhelmed. We booked the Jungle & Chocolate Making experience, which in our opinion just isn’t worth the money. The jungle itself is beautiful, and our guide, Taj, was excellent – very knowledgeable. That part was enjoyable. However, the chocolate making was only average. It felt very similar to other workshops we’ve done before, such as the children’s chocolate workshop at Hotel Chocolat in Covent Garden. For the price point, I expected much more – especially in terms of chocolate tastings or generous samples. We were a group of 3 adults and 1 child, and the total came to over $400, which really didn’t feel justified for what we got. I will not recommend it to any one I know because of the price. Overall, a disappointing experience given how much we were looking forward to it.
Cacao farm visit to making our own chocolate bars!
