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!

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.

Wow! Such a nice, unique surprise on an island that has a bit of a "cruise ship" feel. Ola Bonita…read moreis so different and unique it kind of shocked me. It's an interesting combination of art gallery meets beachwear meets organic/eco-friendly shop. They have locally made, handcrafted beachwear and artwork. I really liked the handmade beach mats, and they have super unique airbrush hats that can be custom painted (great gifts for family). It's really hard to describe with a yelp review, but it will definitely leave an impression on you no matter what!

When in a foreign country and in need of a few trinkets, jewelry and other touristy stuff that we'd…read moreprobably not really need, most of us hit the streets and search out those "souvenir shops"... well, we not us ! We may visit those oversized souvenir shops and look at all their goodies and "maybe, just maybe" we'd pick up something rather useless like a shot glass or a bandana with "F Trump" printed on it... but normally it's all just junk. Normally we want something to remember our trip and not crap... jewelry usually does the trick for my Marisol. Here in Playa Del Carmen, there is 5TH AVE... plenty of those shit stores but there are plenty of street vendors with silver and leather goods and deals can be made but it's work; lucky for me, I had Marisol and Michelle to handle the purchases on the last visit (Marisol for translation and Michelle to hammer the vendors). BUT sometimes you come across a vendor that is just easy to deal with... bringing my sales team (Marisol and Michelle) isn't even necessary. We first came across the adorable street booth (more like a side of the road kiosk along 5TH AVE)... constructed from reused wood and painted a light turquoise color, the distressed booth has a sign painted with the store name "HIPPIE MAR" is colorful, hippy-like font. And the shop is loaded up with wall art, headdresses, purses, other knick-knacks and a little bit of jewelry (but the jewelry wasn't out; we asked and she just happened to have some). We were on our way to dinner but really glad we decided to stop and take a quick peek because in addition to the tiny-booth/shop looking so cute, the girl that owned and ran the booth was extremely welcoming and didn't give us crazy up front prices that you were forced to negotiate from... she gave a price for some toe-rings, we countered but with reasonable numbers and we agreed at a fair price... Both parties parted pleased !

Playa has changed a great deal in the 17 years I've been coming here. There used to be many stores…read morewhere you could find interesting, one of a kind items, relating to life and culture in the Yucatán. Over the years, the stores have closed, and replaced by multiple outlets of sunglass shops, t shirt stores, and others selling the same stuff. Now, only Sin Pecado remains. They have unique items, and great prices. Please support them!!

I was double charged and forced to buy three bottles of vanilla when it really I only wanted one. The Post price was two for one and then they pushed the third one on me for free. But they actually did was charged me by to get the third one free. I even insisted I only wanted one bottle and could I please just buy one bottle and they told me no. So I was charged $54 Canadian for vanilla that I did not want.
