Spend about three hours visiting Playa Delfines, tasting tequila and cacao, and browsing Mexican crafts and jewelry. Hotel pickup, a private guide, samples, and a Mayan pendant are included. Guides such as Camilla, Enrique, Joshua, and Jerry have been praised for friendly service.

“I want to be fair — the guide did explain the tequila, but everything felt extremely rushed. Right after a quick rundown of the different types, the experience instantly shifted to pushing their tequila and jewelry sales. It didn’t feel like a relaxed tasting at all, more like we were being moved from one sales pitch to another.”
