Casual But Classy Restaurant? (rehearsal dinner)

[BillysBride]

Not sure this is the right place for the question, but I'm trying to find a place to have our rehearsal dinner near Tulum, Puerto Aventuras or Cozumel. We weren't even planning on having one, but my fmil emailed me last week saying they wanted to pay for one for us, so I sort of feel like its the right thing to do.

 

I'm thinking preferably Tulum. We wanted to do it at Mezzanine, but they don't host groups larger than 8 (we're expecting maybe 20). I like the idea of some place casual (no dress code) but still nice. Definitely want a place on the beach since we're all mid westerners and I know my family would get a kick out of dining oceanside.

 

Any suggestions?

What about a dinner cruise? That could be fun. I'm sure others can chime in on good places to eat.

A few that come to mind......

 

Lol Ha in Akumal

Don Cafeto in Tulum (they have one in town as well on the beach road)

Ana y Jose in Tulum on the beach road

La Lunita in Akumal

La Buena Vida in Akumal

OOooh, thank you BOTH Morgan and Jason!! Love the idea of a dinner cruise, but definitely going to look into those restaurants. You are a veritable well spring of information!

Jason beat me to it...I was going to suggest Lol-Ha, La Buena Vida, AND Ana y Jose. The first two are a little further away from where you'll be staying -- about 15 minutes north of Tulum. I can vouch for the food at all three, though!
