Nicks the man!

Mark_B, Jul 2025

Nick was great. Great guy and great learning about St Lucia and its culture. The chocolate factory was fun and educational as well. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks a bunch! So glad you had a great time with Nick—he really loves showing off what makes St. Lucia special. Happy to hear the chocolate factory hit the sweet spot too!

Nice private chocolate making experience

Jennifer_W, Dec 2024

This was a very nice tour. The driver was very nice and we learned a great deal from him as we drove to and from the chocolate making experience. I was however surprised that the chocolate making facility was not near Marigot Bay and was almost as far away from our resort as the Hotel Chocolat experience. The chocolate experience itself was good but I believe we would have experienced more of the process from the plants to the chocolate bar at another location.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your 4* feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the insights from our driver. We strive for clarity in our descriptions, which do note the chocolate-making facility is in Canaries. While the "other location" is an additional 40-minute drive, we understand your point about showcasing the full plant-to-bar process and will explore ways to enhance this. Your support means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for more experiences!

Exceptional Experience

Dionne_W, Oct 2024

Steven, our tour guide, texted me prior to our arrival to inquire about our interests to ensure we had an epic experience. He answered my questions and provided an overview of the excursion. Once we arrived in St. Lucía, he reached out to me to confirm our room number, pick up time, etc. We learned a great deal about St. Lucia from Steven during our drive to and from Cacoa Sainte Lucie. Our chocolate instructor, Hagar, taught us about cacao beans, the chocolate making process, and different types of chocolate. As a chocolate lover, this was a phenomenal learning experience! Hagar was knowledgeable and fun! Steven allowed us to stop at different shopping locations on the way back to our resort. He helped us cross the street in busy traffic like VIPs during one of our stops. He complied with our countless photoshop requests. I highly recommend this excursion! It was an exceptional epic experience that you must have in St. Lucía!! A Very Happy Traveler, Dionne
