An unforgettable day in Granada, Nicaragua! 🐒🍫 Starting the day at the charming Hotel Real La Merced, where relaxation meets colonial charm. Then, exploring the vibrant streets, feeding adorable monkeys, indulging in the rich history of chocolate at the museum, and finishing with sunset at the volcano. Granada, you’ve stolen my heart! ❤️✨ #GranadaNicaragua #MonkeyLove #ChocolateDelights #ColonialCharm @visitanicaragua #nicaragua #visitnicaragua

I visited the Chocolate Museum simply for a chocolate fix, although there are multiple activities one may sign up to do if you wish to actively participate in the process of making chocolate yourself. I stopped in on a weekday late morning. There was no waiting to be seated to order drinks or desserts. I ordered a Willy Wonka bowl for $8 that was much larger than I expected.. fruit on bottom; banana, watermelon, and pineapple with chocolate brownie and ice cream on top drizzled with chocolate. Whoa, it was a lot! The chocolate was delicious, which was mostly all I was interested in eating along with some banana for variety. We also sampled the chocolate martini (yum) and a chocolate crepe. The crepe was non-traditional and a bit crunchy. The chocolate itself was very good, but it was not the crepe fix we were looking for. Altogether, I think it's a fun adventure where you will find the chocolate fix you crave and possibly learn a thing or two if you sign up for the full experience.

Let me start with how beautiful and amazing this place was! Antonio, our tour guide and one of the talented chocolate makers, showed us every step of the chocolate making process. From learning when the plants are ready to harvest to getting a feel for the work those before us had to put in to make things out of them, it was an experience I recommend to everyone who visits granada. There is so much to do and see, but this place was an absolute masterpiece. Also, they have samples!!! My family, 2 kids, my spouse and I, and his parents really enjoyed all Antonio and the chocolate museum had to offer. I do believe we will be coming back in the future, if only for the chance to say hello again and enjoy their delightful rum. They also had tea, brownies, and different amounts of chocolate in each of the sweets, so you are sure to find something you like. 10/10!

We went to the museum enthousistic about the 1-2h workshop and eager to make our own chocolate, but the experience ended in disappointment. Once we started, we were first given a guided tour about the chocolate making process and a tasting of the products they had on sale, continuously and slightly obnoxiously reminded that all the testers were purchasable. After 1,5h we actually started the workshop. Despite the website mentioning we would be able to choose between dark, milk, and white chocolate, they only had 70% and 100% dark. This wouldn’t have been a problem if they’d mentioned it prior, but it was a bummer to hear it at such a late stage. Besides, the flavour options were basic (5 or so total) and the peanut jar was full of ants so unuseable and not hygenic AT ALL. The resulting bars were also disappointing. The chocolate is grainy and nothing special - also too dark for our taste. One redeeming factor was our guide Sylvia who was very friendly and enthousiastic during the whole tour. However, given the entire experience (mainly the key factor of chocolate making that severely disappointed) we don’t think it’s worth the $25 price point.

I wanted to try out the traditional chocolate drink so thought the chocolate museum would be a good place for it. The prices seemed quite expensive but decided to try it anyway. The chocolate drink was good, nothing spectacular but nice enough. The menu is all in USD but I only had local currency so asked to pay in cordoba instead. They showed me how much it was which I thought was more than the exchange rate should've been but thought maybe I'd done the maths wrong (turns out I hadn't). They then didn't have enough change to give me and just shrugged so in the end I was charged an extra $1 for using local currency which just seems backwards 😖 Nice place to visit as the setting is pretty but maybe just look around and don't buy anything.. Edit to add: it's lovely to see that the business keeps an eye on its reviews and wants to ensure people enjoy their visit 😊 but just wanted to clarify that their reply was about a different customer as I didn't have a truffle and don't even own an Amex card 😅

Really disappointed in this place. Had a free 10 mins tour was which was not that great (ok at best) and certainly not amazing. I had a much better tour in Belize and there I was able to taste the chocolate at each stage (raw purple Coco seed, smell fermentation of bean, roasted bean and then the final product). I guess I didn't do the full tour but even the free short one wasn't amazing. Then I bought a couple of bars which you can't taste before you buy (for some reason I assumed they were good) and they weren't. It feels a bit of a scam for the tourists. The chocolate is quite gritty and I can certainly buy better chocolate in the UK for a fraction of the $5 price. What a disappointment as I was hoping to gift some of these as presents and I spent quite a bit of money here. I feel like I have been ripped off. I would strongly urge people to check out other places in the area. Maybe tour is ok but don't buy the bars of chocolates.
