Our group of 7 thoroughly enjoyed Lily's class. Lily is warm, engaging, genuine, and has a great sense of humor. We all learned a lot about the foods from different regions of Mexico as well as the surprise ingredients in some of the delicious fare we made and enjoyed (fried sesame seeds and peanuts in the outstanding salsa macha!). We experienced a bit of traditional Mexican ritual around meals including the mezcal appetizer and the after-meal licorice liqueur for digestion. We very much enjoyed cooking in Lily's comfortable home surrounded by family members, pets, and beautiful decor. Go here if you want to have a truly fun, memorable, and delicious day.

Loved the ceramics displayed.

Lilly was so warm and welcoming you immediately felt special and at home. Loved every minute of her class. The warmth, the surroundings, the music and the feel of community. Oh, and did I mention the food!! The meal we created was authentic and delicious. Completely recommend. Hugs to Lilly!

Get off the tourist track! enjoy an authentic Mexican Culinary adventure and take the passion of Mexican Traditional Cuisine home!

The best language immersion program I have ever attended and I have attended The Goethe Institut…read more It's an open air, jungle experience with an emphasis on sustainability and community. Without making any paper waste, my Spanish was quadrupled in just 3 weeks. The classes are small, outrageously fun and conversational. I took advantage of the free yoga every morning, the evening culture classes, the weekend optional excursions and most importantly the host family living arrangements. It was, hands down, the most valuable part of the experience. The host family lived near and gave me a bicycle for the duration of my stay. The hosts were warm, welcoming, accommodating and made Mexican food from scratch every single day. My vocabulary blossomed during these family meals, where the human experience is so universal, you take part in these conversations and next thing you know, you're fluent. Cannot speak highly enough of the Meztli School for putting this all together.

It was a big decision for me to go to Meztli, because I found myself with a month to spare, but not…read morea huge budget, and as a social worker, it's been really important for me to learn spanish. All I can say is, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER! I stayed for a month--which means I had EVERY teacher there is at Meztli. Every single teacher there genuinely wants to be there, which is probably the most important part of it: they love it, and they love the students. Secondly, their methods are so effective. One of my favorite things is that they rotate your teachers (one teacher for grammar; then after break, a new teacher for conversation). You don't get used to one way of speaking or teaching, and it keeps you on your toes. I also did 2 hours of private classes after group classes, with two different teachers all 4 weeks. Staying with a host family was a dream for me, and I know i'll be in touch with them for years to come. The way the school is directed and run is so thoughtful. Sara, the director, truly cares for every students happiness and safety and experience overall. The outings are so fun, and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. and by the way, yoga is a huge benefit. it's taught so well, and it taught me verb tenses, directions, and body parts in no time. Cannot wait to go back. Meztli, si tu estas leyendo, te extraño! Gracias por todo, nos vemos a pronto en Skype! Me digo a mismo, cantas, no llore!!! :-)

Most people, like myself, would think that having a personal chef and his staff, come and cook for…read moreyou and your family, would be an unnecessary expenditure. Even a bit pretentious or lavish. But ... like me, how wrong you would be! Chef Anthony, his staff and their exquisite service are worth every penny and more! Let me explain ... I found that one of the BEST reasons of having Chef and his staff prepare your meals at your vacation spot, in your own dining room, takes away the nighty headaches of getting to your destination, parking, dealing with crowds and wait times at restaurants, all that can be so stressful. You're dining at your own leisure, which will add so much more pleasure to your vacation experience. Each morning/nights tables were set up beautifully and elegantly. To say that every meal that was prepared for our group was delicious, would be an understatement. Not only did he graciously prepare meals for specific pallets in our party, making sure no allergies were overlooked, he led us through an adventure of flavors, that only a TRUE PROFESSIONAL CHEF could accomplish. Foods and flavors that I myself would not typically enjoy, he created them into delicious meals that I couldn't have enough. His wonderful staff were very attentive and courteous, describing each of the Chefs creations before each course. After our meals were enjoyed, Chef and his staff washed and dried every pot, pan and dish, right to the last spoon used and the kitchen was cleaned and made in order. Our hands never forgetting that they are on vacation! Every breakfast was a buffet to enjoy, with every possible dish you could think of, for your pleasure. And if there was a specific request to enjoy, Chef Anthony made it happen. My introduction to a have a personal chef as part of my vacation was an eye opening experience and will now be a permanent part of my vacation itinerary. If you're staying on the island of Cozumel, Chef Anthony and his staff are an ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Chef Anthony is EXTREMELY approachable and friendly, making you feel like family. Prepare yourself for a wonderful experience of fine dining and exquisite service!!! You will not regret your decision.

Everything was amazing. I will have them every time I'm here In Cozumel!! Antonio (Chef) and…read morebartender (Joel) were THE BEST!!!!

We had Chef Marco and Sonia cook two breakfasts and dinners for us at our condo while visiting…read morePuerto Morelos. Amazing!!!! Super nice people. Food was incredible! They even emailed us two of the recipes they made for us which we loved and asked for. Chef Marco put his own spin on some of his dishes. "Marcoritas" (margaritas) and chilaquiles. Highly recommend this wonderful couple.

Holy Mole, the Mole is fantástico!! What a treat it was to…read morehave Chef Marco and Doña Sonia come to our condo one night to cook for my husband and I. I know Sonia from when she lived in Portland and was so looking forward to the authentic meal we planned via E-mail. Their web site will give you some set menus and prices, but they are more then happy to mix up various items and give you a total price for it. Marco made us his famous Chicken Mole, that was out of this world (27 ingredients just in the sauce), along with fresh made pork quesadilla, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Tortilla Chips, Salsa verde, Green Rice, Black Beans, Jícama & Cucumber Salsa, Honey Drizzled Fruit, Lightly Sprinkled w/ Chili Powder And they also made us a pitcher each of sangria & super strong yummy "Marco-ritas". First off, the portions were enough that we had a full 2nd dinner as leftovers the next night, making the cost per person a very good deal. The chicken in the mole was 4 huge boneless, skinless all white breast that were plump and moist and the Mole sauce is generously portioned over and around the beasts. All the other sides were excellent!!! The sangria was refreshing and the "Marco-ritas.... well look out, they pack a punch!!! Sonia ices the pitcher so that you get many healthy portions that took us days to finish!!! After Marco & Sonia prepared our dinner they sat down with us for a chat to catch up and it is easy to see how much they enjoy meeting and cooking for small and large groups and helping to make you vacation fun, easy and memorable. Going to restaurants is nice, but having Doña Sonia and Chef Marco come to your condo is such a special treat I can't recommend it enough!! Oh and BTW, their salsa is great on hot dogs!!
