Amazing dancers - The dancers were amazing! They gave 110% of their heart and soul to the show! My biggest complaint was instant coffee with no cream. They could do better or don’t serve coffee at all. Also, there was no appetizer as promised. They could do better with the food and drinks, but the show was well worth it!

Great show. Get your own transportation. - The show was great. The food good but not outstanding. Transportation leaves much room to improve. The first time we tried to go the ride never came. They rebooked us but still it was a wasted evening. The ride to the show on the rebook was on time. After the show the bus filled before we could get on and we waited half an hour for it to return.

Entertaining - Be patient with the pick up, they are coming! I really enjoyed the show and the food was delicious, however I recommend booking directly through the provider. The prices on here are so inflated, some of my friends paid a fraction of what I did. The dancers were great and the ceremonial performance before the buffet opened were entertaining.

Definitely worth doing - The dancing, singing and cooking demonstration were excellent. The food was good but not served till after 9:00 pm. We had drinks when we came but there was nothing to munch on. The kitchen wasn’t opened so you could order but it never came. They did not charge & canceled the order because dinner was served. The pickup was late but a van came when we walked to the street. The hotel told us they would come in & pick us up. At 7:50 we walked to the street and it pulled up a minute later.

Intermediary overpricing is not justified - The experience actually costs USD 80 if you pay the local and is a suitable price for an explanation of the curanto, dinner and show. Dinner is buffet and the queue was long to the point of being just starting dinner when the show left. Still enjoy it t is pretty. The problem is that for shared transfer, which takes a long time and the margin of the operator of this site, you pay more than double and that is not worth it at all when you see that everything is the same as the rest that I pay less than half.

Hmmm…probably a pass - Very weird experience. We arrived, paid our entry fee(last in line), entered and no one greeted us or told us what to do…we finally asked someone for help. She asked our reservation name, after ten minutes(standing awkwardly), we were directed to a table that had our name on it. The server told us to use a QR code for food. We did not have internet so thought he would come back. He did EVENTUALLY. He told us there was free wi-Fi but it was under a different name. We ordered lemonade and had the worst one we’ve had on the island. The show was awkward and way too much bottoms were shown. The storyline was hard to understand. The bus that picked us up, drove crazy fast when he was dropping us off. We also did not like being women alone in the van(that started full) with two men at 11 pm in an unfamiliar place. The dancing was good and some of the men jumped HIGH! The music was good.
