"This is literally the best chocolate I've ever eaten. And I've had a lot of chocolate. If you’re vacationing in Costa Rica and have a chance to go here, I absolutely recommend stopping by and buying some for yourselves and for gifts. The packaging is really nice as well. I dream about these chocolates. My mouth is watering just writing this review."
