About this activity
After being picked up from a central meeting point or hotel, arrive to Playa Mia Grand Beach and Water Park and enjoy a fun-filled day. You’ll be assigned your cooking workshop (depending on availability) and have the chance to enjoy all range of activities at the park for the entire family. You can enjoy the park's facilities before and after your class.
For your cooking workshop, you'll get a prestigious chef who will guide you through the process of preparing an exquisite three-course Mexican meal. Have fun at a fully equipped dynamic workstation and get your hands dirty as you learn the secrets to cooking and presenting this internationally acclaimed cuisine. Once you are finished cooking, relax in an oceanfront dining room and enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared accompanied by Mexican wine, good company and a terrific view.
After your meal, you’ll have free time to swim in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean, sunbathe on the white-sand beach or explore the new Floating Park or the water park including Buccaneer’s Bay kids’ area, Oasis Island Pool & Hydro Massage Tub and the 200-foot long Twin Twister Waterslides.
Your tour includes round-trip transportation, fully equipped cooking station, national open bar, entrance into the water park and Floating Park, and access to other top-notch services, facilities and exciting activities including lounge chairs, shopping area, underwater Mayan city, organized games, kayaks, paddle boats, hobie cats, floating mats, hammocks and much more.

At Playa Mia Grand Beach & Water Park, the fun never ends. See below for a sample menu:

This is the second time we have taken the cooking class. The Cooking Class is informative and the food is excellent. The instructor is entertaining. The resort is fun to play in afterward. This is a great way to learn and have fun.
Incredible experience and cooking class! Me and my husband took this class and loved it. The chef (Chef Luis) was very friendly, funny and taught us some great techniques. The food was delicious and the venue was great. It overlooked the beach and was very spacious allowing for participation of everyone in the class. We also had amazing drinks and overall really enjoyed this. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Playa Mia Beach Club.
We had a blast! Great fun, great food, great instruction! This is the second time we have attended the class, it's that good!
This was an awesome experience. Would recommend this for beginners and experienced home cooks. Lots of laughs, drinks and fun.
