Great experience. It was very authentic with all of the music and singing performed live along with the amazing dancing. The authentic jug of Sangria was also very enjoyable as you couldn't order drinks after the show had started.

I loved everything, literally everything. Very attentive and pleasant. We didn't see dolphins but it was worth going, I'll be back for sure, with the discount they give us next time for not having seen them
