Amazing!

Such a beautiful place…everyone was so nice. Cooking class was informational and delicious…rum tasting was interesting and the rum is strong! The venue itself is beautiful and the best part was honestly the bird aviary..: the guide was fun and full of information. We were there long enough to zip line and the guys were so fun!
