1.Mango’s Miami: Sip & Salsa Lessons, Mojitos, Bites & Live Music

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 279 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Spend an evening at Mango’s on Ocean Drive with beginner bachata and salsa lessons, a mojito or mocktail, three Latin and Caribbean bites, live music, and VIP nightclub entry after 10pm. Instructors may include Alex, Taylor, Carlos, Bruno, or Alyssa.

“The instructor was good. However, looking at the space availability, they should not include more than 5 couples in a single evening. We had more than 20 people in a small place that was cramped up even for mere standing, let alone dance. The food and drinks were not up to the mark for that pricing. As an experience it is okay, but not recommended for that price.”

“Onze gids heeft zich niet voorgesteld. Moest op de parkeerplaats wachten tot overige lesgenoten kwamen, terwijl we een privé les hadden en de uiteindelijk ook niemand meer aansloot. Erg lange ‘warming up’, op en neer rennen met surfboard over strand was achteraf onnodig zwaar, krachten al verspeeld voor we het water ingingen. In totaal 1,5u bezig geweest ipv 2 uur, waarvan de warming up de helft van de tijd was! Na 1.5u moest hij nieuwe klanten gaan ophalen op de parkeerplaats. Het was heel cool en leuk, maar niet de prijs waard voor ‘twee uur privéles surfen’ in mijn ogen! Aan het eind van de les werd er erg op…”
