An Unforgettable Time! - Cooking with Carmen was amazing! It was like being with family. We had a fantastic time, ate well, made new friends, and learned so many things about the local culture. I would do it again and recommend to others easily. It's a must-do!

Wonderful Evening with a Gracious Host - Oh my gosh, what a wonderful evening with Carmen and crew! She welcomes you warmly onto her beautiful property and teaches you all about the crabs, the process, the food, and the culture. She truly makes you feel as if you've gone to your best friend's for a cookout while also providing excellent knowledge on the local culture. You can tell she adores St. Croix, and if you didn't love it already, you certainly will after leaving Carmen's with a full stomach. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is so wonderful, and this was an experience we will NEVER forget!

A Must Do in St. Croix - Wonderful experience! Carmen and her team were very welcoming and gave everyone first class treatment. The food was very good, drinks were great, and location is very clean.

Excellent experience - Carmen is a great host! She taught us about local traditions and shared family stories that tied our evening’s events back to the local culture. This experience was amazing and we can’t wait to try out the recipe she shared with us!

Crabs with Carmen! - Had an amazing time! Carmen welcomes her guests into her home and treats them like family! We truly felt like we had an authentically local experience with Carmen and her staff.

A must do while on St Croix - Carmen and her team were incredible. From the moment we arrived (with Carmen’s assistance navigating there) to the moment we left, we were smiling ear to ear and enjoying the sights, sounds, and flavors of St Croix. We had an amazing time preparing our crabs and of course the best part was eating them. Carmen taught us so much about the culture and about the island. When you come to this experience you are treated like family. We would recommend this experience to every person traveling to the island. Such an amazing way to start our trip. Highly highly highly recommend.

Have To Do! - Perfect!!! Have to do!!! Carmen and Rochelle were great hosts and the experience was amazing!!! Treated like family🩷

St. Croix at its finest! - “Crabs with Carmen” was a most wonderful and amazing cultural experience with delightful St. Croix locals! One is greeted warmly by Carmen at her home, where she has the Crabs 101 experience set-up in her backyard. Carmen and her staff show you how to select, clean, prepare, cook, and eat land crab properly and correctly - while you learn about some of the history and culture of the island and its people. Delicious sweet corn, cassava, and killer rum punch only add to the great meal. You can go to a restaurant and simply order off the menu and wait for your food, or you can have a top-drawer five-star life experience at Carmen’s. It’s a no brainer - do it! 👍🙂

Crabs with Carmen - a can't miss evening! - If you do anything in St. Croix while visiting this beautiful island, make sure it includes an evening of "Crabs with Carmen"! You experience the wonderful, casual, down-home hospitality of an island native, who has the charisma and personality to be St. Croix's Director of Tourism and Commerce. Learning to select, clean, prepare, and eat crab is a true art form! Carmen and her great assistant Rochelle delightfully lead you along every step of the way, this while enlightening guests about some of St. Croix's culture and traditions. The evening is a refreshing change-of-pace from simply making a reservation at a restaurant somewhere and being served. You will not be disappointed - this is an evening you'll fondly remember while reminiscing about your stay in St. Croix. Do it!
