I purchased 2 pieces of art that I love and it was fun to look at all the other vibrant and electric items and displays. The tshirts at re unique and not over the top expensive.

While in Plaza Playacar looking for souvenirs for ourselves and our friends/family back in the…read moreStates, I was drawn to Artesanias "Solymar." 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!

After looking through some of the local shops, and dealing with the many people who went to great…read morelengths to get our attention, it was refreshing to step into Viva Mexico. We were all looking to take home gifts and this shop satisfied our needs on many levels. Pottery, vanilla, glassware, toys, they seemed to have it all. The ladies working there were all friendly and thankfully, their English was better than my Spanish! I had my gifts all planned out until I went upstairs, and then everything was turned up-side-down (in a great way). I found my niece upstairs, hanging out with Cristian who is the man in charge of the tequila tasting. By the way, just say yes, because he doesn't take no for an answer!! We tried chocolate tequila, vanilla tequila, pomegranate, apricot... oh the list goes on. I came home with some chocolate, and my niece tried the regular (oh so yummy, sweet tasting, sippin' tequila). If you are looking for some quality gifts, no hassle, and great tequila, this is the spot for you!!

The selection of pottery and other goods native to Mexico was nice; however, the customer service…read morewas severely lacking and the pricing was confusing. Items were marked in pesos and shop attendants quoted one price in US dollars, but at the register, not even close. My friend was purchasing a piece of pottery and was overcharged. She questioned the cashier and showed the pottery piece. As she was turning the piece over to show the price tag, the piece slipped from her hand and broke. They made her pay for it. Very unfriendly and we certainly wished we had never set foot in the place.

We came here for a couple of reasons: it's the largest shopping mall in Cancun; they have a Sears;…read morethey have Krispy Kreme Donuts. If you're after some shopping while in Cancun, this Mall is in the Downtown area, so if you have a car, that's no problem, but there are many buses that can get you here too. The Sears reminded me of my childhood (when we used to have to make our Christmas wish list from the Sears catalog): it was a real department store. It's well-stocked with quality merchandise and salespeople are easy to find. Krispy Kreme was delicious! The same quality you'd find in the USA.

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.

Of all the outdoor markets, shops and strip malls around, this place was actually a breath of fresh air for souvenir shopping. You could casually browse at your leisure without anyone bothering you to buy something. I felt like I was in a normal store where I could take my time to look and price shop. This shop is part of the "Plaza De Fiesta" strip mall on the main drag. Every kind of souvenir you could ever want was displayed, from magnets, mugs, T-shirts, clothing, hats, sunglasses, beach towels, blankets, toys, alcohol, and so much more! The prices were very reasonable on most items, that I was having a hard time NOT buying more than what I really needed! They also have a food court where you can sit and relax with a beverage, food item, snacks, and ice cream bars in a variety of flavors. This is a definite store to stop in while visiting Cancun!
