I was looking for souvenir keychains, so I went in here. However, the workers kept following…read moreme--not from a distance, but uncomfortably close, invading my personal space. One of them, named Margarita, followed me into every aisle and stood on guard. No one else was being followed, just me. I understand they want to prevent theft or damage, but they could observe from a distance instead of hovering over me. Plus, the same souvenirs are available elsewhere for a cheaper price.

This is the epitome of mega touristy crap store.... and then some…read more.. We've all seen them, they sell ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you could ever want (or maybe not want) to gift to anyone to memorialize your vacation or some trinket to remind you of how amazing Mexico really is.... then again, does a pair of brightly colored salt and pepper shakers really tell you "Mexico is Awesome"?!?!? And there is no shortage of these souvenir shops but some have "that" something special... and this is "that" kind of shop with all the options ever needed..... Options like... shot glasses, bottle openers, masks, coasters, picture frames, leather bracelets, salsa dishes, chubby figurines of mexican cowboys, corpse figurines, other figurines, ashtrays, decanter sets that look like mayan ruins, tortilla bins, silver necklaces, mezcal gift sets, mayan/aztec art, ponchos, refrigerator magnets, sea shells, crochet handbags, water bottles, sombreros, light fixtures, candy, maracas, t-shirts, plastic pool glassware, bandanas, sunglasses... AND of course, the ever popular Salt 'n Pepper Shakers ! OH, and I did I mention they have tequila.... lots and lots of tequila. So, why only 3 stars... because as unique as it is, it's also the same as all the other mediocre stores selling novelties and curio... plus I thought the prices were too high

DO NOT BUY VANILLA FROM HERE!! They sell water with a hint of vanilla, it is not the Mexican…read morevanilla you are looking for. I am so disappointed because I trusted the shopping desk on our Royal Caribbean boat. They told me it was the best vanilla and to be sure to get the one with a blue cap. I do not understand why a company that seems to have a good reputation with their rum cakes would scam buyers with fake vanilla. Stick with what you know! I will be sure to tell anyone going to Cozumel to avoid this store and I will be informing Royal Carribean and suggesting they take it off of their preferred store list. I guess we supported the local economy with our purchase of 2 bottles, but it is just too bad that all we got was scented water. Vanilla was the one item I really wanted on our trip and now I will be wary of buying from locals again.

This was my favorite shop at the Cozumel cruise port. I've read about these delightful rum cakes…read moreand when I spotted it while walking around, I had to stop in. A nice lady right inside the entrance welcomed me with samples of their original and pina colada rum cake flavors. They were both delicious! She was very pleasant and not pushy at all. The staff was fluent in English so I was able to converse with them easily. It's a small quaint shop. On one side of the wall, they had pre-packaged rum cakes in various sizes and flavors. The cakes are vacuumed sealed and lasts a few months according to the staff member. Perfect for souvenirs to bring home. On the opposite wall, they had a wide variety of hot sauces and bagged coffee. There were also little knick knacks like magnets and candy as well. I wished I had taken pictures of the price list and the shop itself. I believe it was 3 for $18 for the smaller size. Not cheap but it was delicious and my friends enjoyed it back home. I'm coming back in November on another cruise and will update this review then!
