This region of Mexico is so fortunate to have Chef Stefan and his family at this wonderful restaurant. My wife and I had the Salmon and the duck along with the suggested starters, along with desert and the recommended wine. Hechizo is not inexpensive, but the presentation and delivery of such wonderful cuisine prepared by such a great Chef and... More

I promised my boyfriend an great birthday dinner on our vacation! I have to say Hechizo was the place! Chef Stefan was awesome, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect dinner. My boyfriend had the fixed price dinner (5 -course - okay 6 with his birthday surprise dessert), I opted to have the Lobster tail and gnocchi. A must... More

We really enjoyed Hechizo. It's off the beaten path, but worth it. We had the 5 course prix fixe menu, and while all of it was excellent, I'm still thinking about the dark chocolate cake with the passion fruit sauce. Unfortunately I live in Wisconsin, and passion fruit is not something they stock at the local grocery store. And while... More

This restaurant has a European feel in the elegance of its beautiful modern interior. Very smart. The service is excellent. A place to go when you are feeling glamorous but you don't have to be! The menu is simply wonderful. Modern combinations of vegetables and meat or fish. Unusual flavours put together very successfully. Perfect for foodies (like us). The... More

We were a family of 12 staying at nearby Casa Chic. Hechizo was nearby on the beach and we walked by it every day. On the last night of our stay we decided ( on short notice ) to to give it a try as we had 4 birthdays to celebrate. Stefan was a very gracious host --treated the 4... More

We had a fabulous meal and enjoyed the intimate setting, Chef Stefan, who is delightful, personally explained what was offered that evening and prepared a delectable meal of all fresh ingredients. We chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and we chose wisely!

What a wonderful experience. We were staying at one of the casitas on the property this past summer, during the off season. I was preparing to propose to my soon to be wife, and wanted to do something special. The restaurant was closed for the season. However, I had heard of Stefan's amazing skills in the kitchen and managed to... More

Hechizo remains our favorite restaurant on the Riviera Maya. We went there twice during our vacation and it is a 1 hour drive each way for us from Puerto Aventuras. On the first trip, we brought 3 neighbors who had never been there before. All 3 diners thought that it was a truly magical experience! Our friends loved the atmosphere... More

We went on a recent Saturday night and had a great meal. In reading some other reviews, I think the reviewers are missing what Hechizo is all about. Our meal took almost four (delightful) hours. When you go to Hechizo, you go for both the food and the experience. If you are with friends, you have time to talk and... More
