Great experience - The team was so nice the performance was educational and fun. The food was perfect well seasoned. Bring your appetite. Make sure to drive your gold cart on the dock. The directions don't complete match so give yourself extra time

Mayan experience - It is a fun experience and the food is very good. I loved all the performers. I would have enjoyed more dancing or something from the performance, but overall worth the price.

Take a chance, you won't be sorry - I enjoyed my experience, it was surprising, entertaining with good food and a wonderfully relevant folklore for today's world.

Mayan Underworld 2025 - I was expecting for a more interactive performance, Instead of videos. The video was difficult to see from our table (table six). The video was faster than the food/drink being delivered. Would have been great to have had the last drink ahead of time so we could all meditate as we returned from the underworld as described in the video. Loved the message of the entire experience. Overall, we did enjoy the performance and the food.

Maya Dinner Show Experience - The food was very good. The show ... lots of video and music sound effects. Performance a little hokey. But was a fun experience.

Cool Yet...Easily Forgettable Highlight - I enjoyed the ambiance, however the experience was very average. I got lost in the storyline, and the food was not the best. The directions to the establishment was very unclear and caused my friends and I to be 10 minutes late, though we were exactly 3 minutes away....the beverages were good, however it did not come with the price of the excursion -- soft beverages should've been included (in my opinion) -- wasnt worth the $75

Don’t waste time or money - Pre recorded show to listen to. Most of the screen addition is AI. An Hour from start to finish. We ordered food as a table at 6:50ish and got one dish at a time for 3 people. By wrap up at 8:05 my friend still had no food. We cancelled the order. Asked to not write a bad review and got a free shot (pre sure it had little to no booze). Asked for coffee for during the show as ticket show complimentary coffee/tea. No coffee available. Guess they were meaning the hot chocolate that you get almost at the end. Feel like it’s a White mans view of the Mayan. Disappointed and will not recommend.

Stay home! - What experience? They lacked entertainment. Dancer barely danced just flapping his wings and kneeling., and couldn’t barely blow the blower. The show was a failure. No interacting with the audience. They played an AI film explaining the history or the Myans(boring). The waiter seemed drunk, could barely remember to get anything I asked for such as having to ask for water, and a straw for my water (which he never did bring it, another waiter brought straw after 20mins of being seated, my drink was forgotten about ( then close to end of show after being reminded he brought it, a table cloth (promised due to birthday) was never brought, AND BY THE TIME THE SHOW WAS OVER , OUR FOOD STILL DID NOT ARRIVE!!! We had to cancel our food because event ended & our taxi was due back , we left there HUNGRY! And so did 3 other couples whose food also did not arrive and they cancelled theirs as well. This experience was slow, boring & a complete waste of time and money! They claimed to had been trying something NEW, and they Apologized for the POOR SERVICE TONIGHT! THIS WAS A WASTE OF THE MONEY WE PAID VIATOR $18 AND A WASTE OF GAS MONEY $40 USD to travel to & from the event. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A REFUND FOR SUCH AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND WASTED NIGHT! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Waste of Time. - Terrible. There was a drummer and couple of dancers in traditional dress. I didn’t learn anything and the service was very poor. Our drinks came 20 minutes a part and our SALADS never showed up. There was a video that played AI generated images but no personal experience. Very disappointing. Then the host requested that the patrons leave a good review. Not gonna happen.
