Great restaurant in Tulum

[shadow]

Just wanted to let people know that are traveling to the Riviera Maya that there is an excellent option for dinner. Down the Tulum peninsula is a charming and well run restaurant that gave us a great meal and evening on valentine's day. It is run by a husband and wife team--very charming-he , chef, she pastry chef.

A great place to try when you are in the area.

For better Googling: It's actually called Hechizo ('magic'). They're open only in high season--late Nov or December through April, usually, and you should email for reservations, as they only have a few tables. You can probably find the contact online or (ahem, self-promotion) in my Rough Guide to the Yucatan book.
