They have samples of everything out in their gift shop, and they're doing some pretty fun stuff - we absolutely bought a couple bars (as usual, I liked the darkest and my wife liked the lightest chocolate the most, but they were all quite good.) I'd give the *tour*, which they only do a couple times a week, so we had to adjust our schedule a bit to make it to one, a 4/5. It was interesting, but you don't actually get to see any chocolate being made, a lot of it was just discussion (albeit: discussion while standing in a production cacao orchard - I'd never actually *seen cacao trees in person, they are pretty cool! Cool, but also full of spider webs.) They also cut open a fresh, ripe, not-processed-yet cacao bean at the end of the tour, and we got to try a little bit (it's delicious - sweet and fruity, nothing like chocolate. I wish we'd gotten to eat a bit more of it, honestly.) It was an interesting tour, not sure it was worth the extra planning it took to be there for it though - other than the fresh cacao fruit, you don't get anything you can't also try in the gift shop any time of day.

I walked in close to closing time and the woman working was very sweet and greeted me despite needing to close up. She never made me feel the pressure to rush. Even though it's a small store, they have a ton of options and neat gifts and souvenirs to choose from. I found their prices incredibly reasonable, after all it is a a tourist area. I made my purchase and walked out happy. For the amount of items putchsed I felt what I was charged was fair. The next morning, I found I picked out the wrong size dress. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to exchange it because I failed to ask about their exchange/return policy. The young lady that was working that morning kindly allowed me to exchange it for the correct size with no problem whatsoever. Their customer service was incredible both visits.
