I've lived in San Marcos for a year now and East West is my go to spot when overwhelmed or in need of some deeply healing energy. Suzi is amazing! Her intuition and her wealth of knowledge means that she is able to craft exactly the massage that your mind and body (and soul!) needs. My visiting mother-in-law said that her massage with Marta was the best she's ever had - and she's discerning to say the least! Thank you East West for creating this oasis in San Marcos, and for sharing your knowledge of holistic health with the greater community!

This review is for the Store located in San Pedro, la Laguna as it's the same company but only has a San Marcos location listed. We had heard of the Mayan ceremonial drinking chocolate and how delicious and pure it was. We went in and had a cup and it was the best hot cacao I have ever tasted in my life. Being December and Christmastime we though this would be a great gift for family so went and purchased 11 packs of the drinking chocolate, and a couple bars of their handmade soap. The staff was very friendly and gave us samples of the cacao, cacao liquor, showed us the process and steps in making the cacao. We will definitely be back and their chocolate is definitely going to be a staple take home item when we visit the lake from the US. For those saying the pricing was high, I disagree, it was fair and on point for the quality of the product. $7 or 45Q for a pack of cacao that makes 8 large cups of cacao.
