Great Mall they just opened a second section to the mall with a big fares wheel, ripleys museum, couple good restaurants highly recommend I stayed at the Canopy hotel located on the second part of the mall, if your looking for food, clothes, nightlife and dont want to move to much around in cancun stay there and shop there read more

The shopping area here is the Rodeo Drive of Beverly Hills. They have almost All high end stores that you can think off in Cancun. If you got the money, trying to impress a lady, get some for the trip, or just trying to look around then this is the place :). read more

This is a large shopping center located in the hotel zone that attracts locals and tourists. There are tons of shops but also activities such as the aquarium (which is why we went) and a Ferris wheel. Also, lots of restaurants, some are US based (Hooters) and some are local. So you could easily fill most of a day here. Taxis are easy to find going and coming. Or if you are in the hotel zone you could take a bus which is a straight shot down the large boulevard. read more

La Isla is a large outdoor mall in the heart of the hotel zone in Cancun. Each time we go, we find ourselves wandering through mostly to enjoy some of the restaurants along the water (I'm not talking about Hooters or Krispy Kreme). It's quite expansive and walking through to see everything may take a couple of hours. Unfortunately due to the excessive heat, you'll probably sweat out all your energy before you make it through everything. People come to La Isla for multiple reasons. As I said before, we come for the food along the water. They have several authentic Mexican restaurants where you can have all the Mexican food you could ever want and watch the sunset. Some people want to go shopping. Why you would fly so far to go shop at Prada is beyond me, but they have their fair share of high end clothing stores. They have a small aquarium there where kids can be entertained by the dolphin show. Not a bad place but certainly not the caliber of aquariums you may be used to in larger cities. Lastly, people probably like to come here to buy souvenirs. Mind you, these places like the Mexican Bazaar have all sorts of knick knacks. They're great for little trinkets and common things you'd want to buy for friends from Mexico. They don't really sell high end collectibles/art etc here. Most of the places here are easily accessible to people using strollers or those who are in wheelchairs. The exception may be some of the restaurants by the water but you can always sit in the seats on lower patio. Taxis are easy to catch by the front entrance but beware because they tend to charge an arm and a leg. All in all a nice distraction if you feel fatigued by constantly just looking at the "beautiful ocean." For me, it's an energetic place to grab an inexpensive bite of food. read more

Large mall (has expanded so much over the years) with plenty of shops and things to do. We rode the enormous Ferris wheel for $17.50 per person. Awesome views of Cancun. The restrooms are gross like all public restrooms in Mexico. We rushed over in a $12 taxi to buy my son some legos. Ran in one hour before closing so we could peruse and we picked out a couple of things. We get to the register and are told they only accept peso or credit card. Come on now! F the Lego store! Otherwise it's a nice place to come and walk around and spend money. read more

I really liked this shopping mall/village. It included the Interactive Aquarium along with La Boutique Palacio high-end elite shopping. Many of the stores carried items indigenous to the area of Mexico. This includes the high-end stores as well. Great place to go window shopping, eat, and do other activities. You will spend hours here. read more

Tourist, be warned. They offer discounts, but discounts take the price down to regular price in US. Noticed this in Lululemon and Bath and Body. read more

Boring - but we are not into mall / stick and brick retail shopping. We stopped in for an afternoon within 3 days of rain from tropical storm Alberto. We didn't stay long. And, significant parts are outside - so we got rained on anyway. Parking is not free. read more

Great shopping,activities and restaurants. We took the city bus from our resort 3 times. I highly recommend eating at Italian near chilis (I think it's called Italianno) the Alfredo was some of the best I've ever had. Stop by Chill zone and get a nitrogen ice cream. Legit best ice cream I've ever had. I got the dulce leche and it was yo die for. The tours there are more expensive then if you book through nexus or your resort so don't do it! read more

This mall is right in the hotel zone, any of R1-R2 buses will drop you off right in front. The high end section of the outdoor mall includes: Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tiffany, Gucci, Prada, MICHAEL KORS and Liverpool. A variety of restaurants, bars, and other specialty eateries are located throughout the shopping center we tried Ice Sushi was very pleasant. While shopping we took a ride on the observation wheel, nice air condition ride with great views Some of the stores offer duty free and you will get back the taxes you pay there at the airport read more

The bus ride to La Isla was very short from our resort (The Omni). It was nice venturing out to see the area and do some shopping. I was a little confused on the opening time as some shoppes opened at 10 and others a little after 11. Here you'll find several restaurants including a Hooters. There are several fish spas and I decided to try it. Heavenly! There are signs warning of crocs in the back so...be careful. They have one of the largest souvenir shoppes here and they're very reasonably priced wares. You can find every type of shot glass here if that's your thing. Some of the shot glasses took me off guard with the designs on them...really had me laughing. If you go, you'll see what I mean. This is an open air mall so be prepared to be hot. Many of the stores are air conditioned which provides a welcome relief from the heat. read more

This is a really nice shopping center with lots of big name stores, and some smaller ones you might not know. Because a lot of the stores are very high-end, the things that come with such fixtures are also pretty, high end. This is basically a high-end outdoor mall. It is very pretty and if you have time, it is worth a stroll through, even if you don't plan on buying anything. In my experience, some of the colognes and perfumes here are significantly cheaper than at the duty free stores in the airport. You have to know your prices. It has some cool places for pictures. Watch out for the crocodiles. They really are in the bay. read more

We stayed at the Gran Caribe Real resort and were able to take a 2 min bus ride for $1 a person. We also walked back in the evening after it closed on a Friday night and it was safe. Dark, but dafe. About a 30 min walk though. The mall is gorgeous! Included are high end stores and lovey, cute, authentic restaurants! They even have a water fountain where if you want to get wet, you totally can! Again, lovely mall, open air, nice layout, decor, includes an acquarium, movie theatre, parking, restaurants etc. read more

If you have LOTS of money to spend on high end goods...go here. The view of the harbor from the restaurants is wonderful, and the little peeks of the aquarium are a great temptation to spend an afternoon there. The little inlets can get....stinky. And the unending vendors yelling at you to BOOK YOUR TOUR WITH THEM! TAKE THIS COUPON AND EAT AT OUR RESTAURANT RIGHT NOW! BUY MY THIIIIINGS!! is a little overwhelming and annoying but is to be expected. read more

Stunning Designer Mall on the Lagoon This is by far the most beautiful shopping mall I've seen interlaced with bridges and canals opening onto the lagoon. Every designer label appears to be represented in a very high-end setting. Stroll across a bridge you'll find medium-priced stores showcasing anything and everything you could ever want, especially clothing and shoes. There are numerous restaurants throughout the property, fountains, and very friendly shop keepers. If you love to shop, this IS the place to spend the day. read more

Even tough it's quite expensive, i fell in love with this shopping mall. The moment I walked in, I felt like I was in Disneyland. haha. I know it sounds quite stupid and all, but it did make me feel that way, since I'm used to be in malls which have a roof on. As the name suggest its a little village, I loved walking through the "streets" and having the sun shine down my skin, walking trough bridges , having the lagoon in front of me in the dinning places. Now, there is a part of the mall that its just way out of the league of the average people who live here. There is just a minimum percentage of people that can afford a 15,000 pesos wallet. Please. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't even buy it. Ridiculous. Overall, I liked the variety of stores, specially because they have my favorite store ever. The Body Shop. read more

High end shopping in the hotel zone. Excellent choice of stores. Professional and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a visit even if you don't make a purchase. read more

La Isla is a fine mall, lots to look at and shop at, and a couple places to eat. My family isn't really into buying lots of stuff, so this place was just OK to us. We did eat at the Taco Grill, and the food and waitstaff was great! They have a couple public bathrooms. Lots of spots for cute/fun photos. We did get roped into going to a Timeshare presentation at the mall. There is a huge Ferris wheel in the front. It was pretty expensive from what I recall. I think it was $17 US dollars to ride. Seemed pretty price for a Ferris wheel. We'll probably be back to this mall next time we come to Cancun, but probably plan to do more activities, like the aquarium and wax museum. read more

Hotel staff referred to this shopping village as "little Venice" because of the man made river that runs through it. It is very well laid out, the stores are what you would find in most malls (Zara, Tommy Hilfiger, etc). The restaurants are located on the waterfront so the views at lunch were great. The mall is also easy to get to by bus (R1 or R2) and taxi. read more

Conveniently located across from our resort Park Royal, this was a great spot to grab a drink, dessert and souvenirs. Though we didn't come out to eat here, we did see NUMEROUS food options, from pricey to cheap. It's huge and seems like you can get anything you would want (except groceries ha). read more

This is definitely a great place to walk, shop, eat and find activities to book. There will be a lot of people trying to get you to book some of the excursions with them but they aren't too pushy. You can find Starbucks, mcdonald, crispy creme, subway, hooters and other restaurants. They have souvenir shops and high end stores. Some of the stores offer duty free. You just need to remind the workers there about duty free so they can print a receipt for you to claim back your tax. Guess what, Cartier is also one of the duty free shop. If you are a fan of high end items than give this place a try. Plus, it doesn't hurt to window shop. Also, you get to be a tourist and take some pictures. read more

I enjoyed shopping here more than downtown at Las Americas; namely, because of the duty free luxury stores such as Tiffanys, Gucci, and Taghauser. The duty free boutique shops offered upwards of 20% off designer sunglasses, handbags, watches, and of course - parfums. There is a MAC store here for all the MAC addicts. I was able to stock up on eye and face brushes, as well as bronzes, blush, etc. The best part - they were having a sale AND it was tax free!!! La Isla is always on my to do list when I'm visiting Cancun. It's clean, easy to get to, has plenty of shopping and decent restaurants. Can't wait to return again this year! read more

Cute shopping center located right across the street from the Westin Lagunamar hotel. My mom and I came here on our last day in Cancun. Lots of food options, like Hooters, McDonalds and Starbucks to name a few. read more

I visit this charming mall every time I come to Cancun! It has a feel of a little village, instead of a shopping mall. Cute streets filled with shops, restaurants and fun little things like silly opportunities to take photographs. The buses are super fast and can take you there for less than a dollar from any hotel in the area. Tip! Bus drivers takes dollars! Very useful! read more

This shopping center has every store you have at home and then some. Throw some restaurants in and you have a perfect Cancun shopping outing. On this particular day of vacation, I didn't feel like spending too much time so I was in and out really quick. (After all, the pool was calling my name). Being directly across the street from my hotel, Live Aqua, I was able to pop over for some quick souvenirs and be done. This is a perfect spot to walk around and enjoy an afternoon/evening out. read more

I am not a big fan of this shopping center, partly because I don't go on vacation to go to a mall, let alone a mall that is all designer stuff that I a-don't like and b-can't afford. But it has the restaurants and a few touristy gift shop things. There are lots of people calling to you to to buy this our that, to take their tour, to try their food. On the other side of the mall from the street is where you can watch the sunset. read more

La Isla is the shopping mall to end all other shopping malls in Cancun. Need a hideously marked up Lacoste polo? Check. Want to rent a Ferrari or dune buggy for the afternoon? We've got you covered. Want a bite to eat and a super sugary version of a margarita? Go for it! La Isla tries to be all things to all people (ie. all the tourists in the Cancun Hotel Zone). It's got every American brand you could miss for the 5 days you're out of the States within easy reach (yep, even Starbucks), a sad excuse for an aquarium with captive dolphins, plenty of touristy souvenir shops selling "authentic" Mexican items like shot glasses, t-shirts and tequila, upscale shops selling the same stuff available in the malls back home except costing more, and of course, a smattering of restaurants with mediocre food and drink for too much, that are trading on their view of the lagoon and the fact that they're in a high traffic area to survive. In the past, I've stayed across the street from the mall at the Westin Lagunamar, and one of the best things about the whole mall is this little convenience mart that's tucked between the flashy, trashy stores selling basics like bottled water, medicine, snacks and alcohol for a much better price than anything the hotels could hope to offer. When you're in need of a break from the pools, beaches, hotels and relentless sun of Cancun, La Isla makes for a good distraction, if for nothing more than people watching. It also offers some great sunset pictures over the lagoon on clear evenings. By all means, check the mall out, just don't expect to be wowed or thoroughly impressed - it's like most malls back in the US you just flew away from. read more

Maybe I should just make myself happy more often.. yeah I should that! Shopping time !! hehe La Isla Shopping Village is on the Nichupte Lagoon under a giant canopy.... It boasts more than 100 national and international stores... making it the most important commercial center in Cancun's Hotel Zone.... This is Cancun amazing shopping and entertainment center marks! every time i travel i have to hit up a popular mall...this might be one of the best malls in cancun....this is actually the only updated mall in all off Cancun...so this was the only mall I actually enjoyed while I was on vacation... Its open-air architecture features the most advanced technology..optimized comfort... entertainment facilities.....A series of posters and tropical decor which was designed to give the place a more up to date look.... read more

This was the only place we ventured to outside of the resort during our stay (besides the airport of course). No transportation needed, we walked across the street from the resort. Be careful as traffic is fast. It appeared to be divided into two sections: the high end stores and then the rest. The high end area was quiet with few patrons. The other side was bustling with activity. We went to a few shops to pick up inexpensive souvenirs, then made the walk back to the resort. If you're looking to do a little shop while on your vacation, I recommend spending a couple hours here. read more

Great mall, tonz of variety from super cheap to Uber rich. If you are looking for quality silver jewelry (Talleres de los Ballesteros C-04) is the place to go, they have better prices and better quality than the nearby market. Want a quiet 30 mins boat ride on the lagoon? Look for "Lalo" near one of the bridges, for great mexican food go to Taco grill or my favorite "La Parrilla" where they make their own tortillas right on site. read more

There are lots of great shops here in a beautiful plaza-type shopping area. I liked the store that sold Nike products and one that sold Mexican crafts. A downside for me are the kiosk vendors wanting to sell tours in a rather aggressive way. Some are more gracious than others in accepting an answer of no. read more

This is a great shopping center. This place was right across the street from our hotel that we were staying in Cancun. They have a lot of great restaurants. Sushi bar, Thai, and Indian, and also a Senor Frogs. They also have most of the uber rich luxury stores, like Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Armani, to name a few. The place is also made to look like Venice, because they have water canals that do gondola rides, passing by the shops. They also have cheap souvenir shops if want to shop for friends and family. read more

This mall is a joke! A lot of high end stores and Mexican places to pick up souvenirs. Everywhere and I mean everywhere are people soliciting items or day excursions. U can't walk for people pulling at you trying to sell you something for a good deal. I love to shop and I do enjoy high end stores but It was exhausting with all the solicitors! On top of that the taxi fare there and back was very expensive, if you do choose to go here take the public bus it's $1 per person and you can ride however long. read more

If you are coming to Cancun, you will most likely end up here. This is the big Cancun mall. It is an open air mall with a TON of shops along a canal made from the lagoon water. It has a section off to the side that is dedicated to luxury high end brand names as well if you want that type of shopping experience. That part was scary because every store had an armed guard wearing a bullet proof vest. At the normal section of the mall, street performers are everywhere! Dressed like pirates, and animated characters trying to take your picture than charge you for it. It is a bit annoying to constantly be harassed by them, but eventually you become numb and just ignore them. They have a Starbucks! :) read more

This is a great place for those that like to shop and eat out while on vacation. We visit Cancun at least once every year. La Isla is always on the list for at for us. You don't have to buy anything while at La Isla, the sights sounds and people watching is always fun. We always take the public buses, super friendly drivers will make sure you don't miss your stop with a simple please and the name of where you are going. The restaurants facing the lagoon always are a great experience. read more

Amazing shopping with high end brands. And excellent restaurants. Thai Restaurant is a must when visiting Cancun.

We've been here at least 20 times, likely more. A variety of places to shop and eat. The aquarium is great for families- need to swim with the dolphins! It's a memorable time. We enjoy dining at the Thai and Indian restaurants but lunch along the water is reasonable and really good food. A few authentic Mexican restaurants there. A few nice souvenir shops too.. read more

This is a decent outdoor shopping area. There are a lot of stores to shop, and places to eat. I got soft ice cream in a cone for $1. Worth the trip in my book! A lot of the stores are what you'd see in the US, but also a good handful of stores I wasn't familiar with, and some stores selling touristy type knock knacks - which I suspect are overpriced. For all of the stores there nothing really caught my eye. There's a high end side of the plaza that has Gucci, Louis Vuitton and stores like that ... I didn't even venture to that side. Lol. All of the stores give you the option of paying in pesos or US dollars. If you pay on US dollars you end up paying more...try to pay in pesos. For example, a vendor had some trampolines type things for people to jump on; it was 20 US dollars for 200 pesos. 200 pesos is actually about $12 (exchange rate is about 17 pesos per 1 US dollar), so you would have overpaid by $8 if you pay in US dollars. read more

Don't understand the need of a mall with all american brands in Mexico, but I guess that's what some tourists like to see? At least there's some food options around for when you're too lazy or exhausted to venture out. read more

In the week (17-24 August 2014) we were in Cancun, we came here twice to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi. Nothing else. This mall is super expensive. I don't know why it's listed as an outlet mall when everything seemed to be overpriced. None of the stores here have the word "outlet" in their name, either. If things aren't expensive enough for you in Cancun, go on a shopping spree here. You'll go broke quick. read more
