We asked and he took us around to some out-of-the-way places and Filipe happens to be one of those friends he has and we stopped by. We found all of our souvenirs there. Filipe is the older gentleman thst does the work. He works with cement, ceramic, and would. Make sure to stop by and see Filipe. You will not be disappointed by what you find. Much much better and less expensive then in the city. Apparently there are some regular tourists that come by there often as they come once a year to Cozumel. So we are definitely not the only ones finding this little gem in the area.

Went to the store in Tulum and then found out there is one on the beach road (Hwy 15). This little…read morestore has a wonderful selection of local and hand crafted art. If you are looking for the gaudy poncho, sombrero or mexican wrestler mask, you won't find it here. The staff are almost shy, unlike most of the stores in Tulum where you get the usual spiel of "almost free". The staff here won't hassle you and allow you to browse. There are several unique items in the store. The store on the beach road has some clothing whereas the store in Tulum did not. One didn't appear larger than the other, but everything else seemed pretty much the same. It's a cute little place and has some different items from the normal stuff (ie: crap) that you find in most of the other tourist shops in Tulum.

Was only able to briefly peruse the beautiful hand stitched shirts and crafts in this store, but…read moreloved everything! This was one of many stops into shops along this popular, bustling street packed with many store options. I was drawn in by the brilliant colors and different styles of the shirts hanging on racks outside. We were only able to pop into a handful of places along this street, but this was the only one to ask us not to come in with our ice cream. This was also the only one where the gentleman was able to discuss who had made the different items and the care taken in their construction. And I speak Spanish, but it was nice that the two people working in this store spoke both English and Spanish, so friends with me who spoke only English could be helped as well. I was not ready to buy something the first time through, but when I returned later to purchase a shirt, the woman in the store took time with me to find different colors and styles. Even in the unfortunately brief amount of time I had available, she was attentive. Upon finding a shirt I liked, but that was too snug in the hips, the woman advised me on having someone else, or how I might take up the task myself, of loosening the sides. And despite how rushed I felt due to outside time constraints, I did not feel the woman was rushing me. If I was able to return to Tulum, this is the place I would go back to! And the shirt I did purchase for 600pesos or about $30 was well worth the cost. Constructed of thick, soft cotton, it didn't feel as if it would fall apart with wear over time. And the brilliant colors are just beautiful.

In fact, I even had to go back to grab a couple items I saw that I couldn't come home without! ++ They have the BEST ceramics and pottery that I saw on my entire trip. It was beautiful and so incredibly detailed! ++ The staff was very friendly. I spoke with the owner about his merchandise and he was so kind! ++ There's ALL sorts of shirts, shot glasses, ceramics, sombreros, etc... You name it and they have it! ++ Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality of product you get. Plus, if you have cash, you can negotiate a bit. I would highly recommend checking out Artesanias "Solymar" for your souvenir needs. If I find myself back in the area, I will def be back!

This place was recommended by a hotel staffer…read more This marketplace/flea market was not filled with vendors, so selection was scarce compared to Mercado 28. However, the jewelry selection was much better than any shopping are we experienced, including our hotel (Grand Park Royal). I purchased a cat-eye ring for around $70 for $63. In the USA, it's worth more. The stone is laid in 92.5 sterling silver and fits rather well, not overpowering to the look. I would go back just for the jewlry selection, but nothing more, that is why I gave it a 2-Star (at best).

Talking to other visitors It was evident that most excursions from all vendors were similar. Talked to some regular vacationers and locals and everyone recommended either renting a car n taking yourself to the parks or getting to ferry (we went to isla mujeres) on your own and avoiding being on the 'tours' schedule n taking control of your time. We literally wasted half our vacation getting from rally to rally point where more stuff was being sold wasting precious time listening to 'options' was frustrating but in the end it was my choice to purchase and as a first time visitor learned a lot.
