A Must Do Cooking Class

Mano was an excellent teacher and made the experience feel special. He was super friendly, explained the history behind the ingredients and food, and was genuinely a joy to be around. My partner and I had the absolute best time and cannot recommend this enough. It was one of the best things we did on our trip to Puerto Rico.

I visited Casa Bacardí...

I visited Casa Bacardí during my trip and had such a great experience! I booked my tour last minute and ended up missing my original time slot, but the staff was incredibly helpful and quickly got me rebooked for a later tour. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, which immediately made me feel welcome. I went solo, but that didn’t last long. A random group I met bought me a shot, and I ended up meeting some really amazing people throughout the day. The staff also recommended a meal for me, and I’m glad they did because it forced me to eat before I started drinking lol. The food was delicious and definitely helped me pace myself. One of my favorite parts was meeting a wonderful woman and her husband. She was celebrating her birthday too, so we instantly connected. We spent time taking beautiful pictures together and made some great memories.The gift shop was amazing, and I picked up a few things for myself and my family. Between the drinks, the food, the people, and the atmosphere, the entire experience was a highlight of my trip. Honestly, the photos came out so good they should put us in a Casa Bacardí ad and pay us lol! Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Puerto Rico.

Last minute tour

It was a great start with a drink of your choice of three different Bracardi drinks. We had time to sit and visit as we arrived an hour before our tour. We enjoyed a few appetizers with our drinks. Played some corn hole and enjoyed our family visits. The tour was very educational and ended at the store to purchase Bracardi and other souvenirs. I would recommend this outing for anyone interested in the history of Bracardi.

This was so much fun! We did this lesson on the last day of our trip and it has been a highlight. In one hour, the instructor took us from basic steps to a full circuit. He was so fun and engaging. Both my husband and I really enjoyed this lesson. Would highly recommend.

Our favorite stop on a week long visit of Puerto Rico

Liela was a great host and her place is gorgeous. She took us through several Puerto Rican dishes; and shared the recipes with us. After lunch she took the time to share recommendations on spices, and told us about her favorite restaurants in Old San Juan (our next stop).

Taking a salsa class with Steve and Miguel in Puerto Rico was absolutely incredible! 🌴💃 The energy, the music, and their passion for dance made the experience unforgettable. They created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere — whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, they make everyone feel confident and comfortable on the dance floor. I left smiling, energized, and with new moves to show off! Definitely a must-do experience while in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷✨
