I have been to Roatan many times. I’ve seen the monkeys, sloths, mangroves, etc. many times. I wanted something different. I signed up with 9 friends to do the cooking class. It was super easy working with them to coordinate everything. Upon arrival, JB greeted us and was our driver. He was AMAZING. He was courteous and professional - yet still fun. It was pouring rain, and he took great care of us. The cooking class was phenomenal. They did an excellent job even though it was pouring rain. The class was fun and interactive - AND delicious. I’m so glad we did this tour. I’m stopping on the island again in February - and we plan to do it again. I highly recommend this!
Great experience with wonderful food!
