Great Legacy tour!...

Great Legacy tour! Interesting to learn about the history of the Bacardi family. Mojito was the only complimentary cocktail choice. All other cocktails were available for purchase. Wish they would have included Pina Colada’s as a complimentary cocktail for those who do not like mojitos.

Bar None

Hola! Reviews are few and far between, so this one is heartfelt. Exemplary story telling filled with facts, food, and what feels like familia. Worth the yumminess and experience...bar none! Hubby agrees which says a lot as an eater, more than a preparer. Also said, "Don't forget to say something about the Pin̈a Coladas!" #something :) ¡Muchas gracias!

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).

My sister-in-law and I...

My sister-in-law and I signed up for this fun class during a recent visit to Puerto Rico. We felt so fortunate to have Steven as our instructor - especially since we had him all to ourselves. We appreciated that the class was not canceled and instead he enthusiastically and patiently taught us the steps and “signals” to prepare us for a night of dancing. We learned how to lead as well as how to follow so we can share our new skills with the men in our lives. Highly recommend!!

Steven was so sweet and welcoming from the moment we arrived up to his departure after class. He’s a great instructor and generally fun to be around. I’m so glad that we found this class!! Everyone had a great time!! Steven went so above and beyond with those who were struggling, he’s very encouraging and helpful. He also took fantastic videos that even pleased our self proclaimed “social media Barbie” I vote for Steven to get a raise- he’s just the best!
