The mall was air conditioned, clean, 80's modern, and safe with mostly middle range shops. The Food court was easy to find. There were a couple sit down restaurants. We went to the sushi restaurant but the hostess said there was a long wait. We settled on Pizza Hut for my youngest which had a surprisingly long wait. The rest of us ate Chinese "Cajun" food which is similar to what's offered in all US malls. Everyone was fed for about $35. The food was a little greasy but filling. I had to use my Spanish to order everything. The staff were all very friendly and hospitable.

It has every store you can think of from dirt ass cheap to very expensive and upscale. There's TONS of food options, a 4D theater, cheap covid testing, and a huge discount grocery store. I could've easily spent a full day here exploring all the goodies! I'm most impressed with Calcium nails where I got my gel acrylic nails done for $14 USD. I was also amazed by the grocery store. It had clothes, food, shoes, towels, alcohol, literally EVERYTHING. Like a big ole even cheaper Walmart lol. It can be very packed in the mall and a lot of people just walk right into you. I thought that was weird but hey what can ya do? I'm definitely looking forward to going back and exploring the mall even more.

This place feels super safe- when I went, I was pretty much shadowed by security forces wearing armored vests with walkie-talkies. This is actually kinda the entrance to even fancier places, a ferris wheel, and high-end residences. The mall doesn't seem to have any public restrooms. There is no food court, just a smattering of high end places that are kinda tucked here and there throughout the mall. Parking looks challenging. I'd rather take the bus here. When I went, it appeared that they were expanding the footprint of this shopping mall.

I love the fact that has a lot of light, it's well illuminated, I also find it way cleaner... maybe…read moreit's because of the lighting , but I rather spend my afternoon here than next door in Plaza Las Americas. Specially because it doesn't have all of Cancun's residents walking around next to you without having space for yourself. I get all crazy when I don't have my personal space respected. Ask me how crazy was for me to go to Mexico city, specially to be in the Metro. CRAZY I'M TELLING YOU It has a lot of choices to go shopping and also food choices that shares with Plaza Las Americas, for grabbing a bite. Here I found a store that I fell in love with, they have essential oils, handmade candles, popurris, oils, everything that I could have asked for. They also have a costume store that you will find it in my reviews, bookstore and also a place where you can host your parties and also do exercise while you entertain yourself. it's called SKYZONE you definitely should check it out.

This shopping mall seems to have had better days. There's a bit of an occupancy problem. It's quiet. However, it feels safe. I saw security wandering around, and there aren't any locals hassling the tourists for change. In the near future, the causeway across the lagoon is going to be completed, and the causeway is going to drop off vehicles right in front of this shopping center. It'll be the first thing you see when you drive to Cancun. The future is bright for this shopping mall. The place has a bunch of different vendors and retailers here. You can get out of the sun, enjoy a cup of coffee, dinner at a fancy-ish restaurant (Ruth Chris!) I don't know where you can park, but this mall is easily accessible from the bus.

The staff were cordial, lovely, and attentive. It can get busy, but everything comes in good time and they always encourage you to go for more. I ordered the tuna and salmon sashimi- it'll come four slices each, and at the time I ordered the salmon slices were a bit smaller than the tuna. The nigiri comes one at a time, but be advised you can order as many at a time as you want. The individual nigiri is super tasty! I got the spicy chicken bao bun and misoshiru (shiru just means soup)- the miso is good, but the spicy chicken bao bun wasn't my favorite. The 'bao' was good but did not taste like bao as I know it traditionally, as well as that the spicy chicken was more of a zesty, a-la Chinese style. Finally, I got the Roses Sour mocktail (just without sake). The sour on this was delightful and worth many come backs. This spot is a really good start to the stay at this resort. I highly recommend reserving at least at the start of your day as reservations do fill up as the day goes on. We managed to book at 8:15pm at around 4:30pm as that was the first available time.

Chas found this spot while vacationing here and loved the area so much that he rented an apartment nearby and flys down often from New Orleans to stay there. We started with some Mezcalina's and fresh house fried tortillas with salsa's. The chipotle salsa and the avocado with cilantro were a nice change of pace from your normal salsa verde y rojo. The chips were clearly freshly fried and tasted great even without the salsa's. Our appetizers were a baked Camembert with fruit and tortillas, a sopa azteca, and fresh tuna tostadas. The Camembert was quite good as was the soup, but these tuna tostadas were one of the best appetizers I've ever eaten. Everything on them worked so well together and you could add a splash of soy sauce and it was even better! I'd order these as my meal at 90% of the spots in the world and leave happy! Our entrees were a grilled pichana as well as a lobster pizza from the wood fired oven. I love cooking pichana and don't see it often on menus when I go out so that was a nice treat. The temp was perfect for what we asked for and it was seasoned well. The potatoes that came with it had excellent flavor as well. I could take or leave the corn haha When Chas told me he was eating pizza in Mexico with lobster on it I said "dude, what are you doing with your life?" He said just wait til you try it. He ... was right. The lobster was delicious and buttery, the sauce had great flavor, and the cheese (which was not mozzarella) worked surprisingly well. I will say that I normally like my pizza crispy and this was missing that element...but the flavor more than made up for it. Add on to all of this the fact that you're surrounded by a beautiful pool, swings over the sand, a nice bar, and the owners dog is always nearby to say hi to haha. One of the easiest ones yet. Coco's Cabanas in Playa Del Carmen - Didn't Suck!
