Excellent and unforgettable experience, a token of love and respect for their traditions, delicious food and beautiful place.
Hmmm…probably a pass
lkirsch5, Mar 2025
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.
Entertaining
Karine_S, Nov 2024
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.
Amazing dancers
Sandra_A, Nov 2024
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!
