For those looking to buy sewing material for clothing- it's all 100% polyester. Just to clarify…read morefurther, when I say "it's all" I specifically mean I looked at each label for each section on both floors and it's all at least 80% or more polyester with some kind of additional blend. The notions are ok but button options are limited, thread colors were low, and there doesn't appear to be any boning available for dress making.

Visited on a rainy vacation day. LOVE the different crafts supplies they carry. Ended up buying…read morefar more than I should have. Thankfully it all fit in my suitcase! Wish we had stores like this in Michigan!

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).

We bought a couple of tours from a vendor here. The guy Pablo did not explain all the wasted time…read moreyou lose in the traveling in buses from location to next location. 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.

Got all sorts of fun trinkets to bring home all at fair prices and most on sale. There is just…read moreabout everything you would want to bring home from clothing to food to booze and knick knacks and the workers are helpful and at your service but not pushy like in the stands downtown. A nice, laid back no pressure shopping experience. I even found a paleta case on the way out so I grabbed one which was perfect on this hot day. Tip: pay with cash and you get the 21 pesos to $1 exchange rate, if you pay with a card you pay in pesos.

Their selections here mirror the other touristy places you see up in here, with I guess a broader slant towards the handmade instead of so much the stuff made in China. My favorite thing about this place is that they'll give you cornrows in your hair if you sit down long enough. They charge by the twisty braid. They look like they can go pretty fast and get you looking like an Island Boy in no time. The way that this shopping center is designed, it's like cattle going down the chute where all the vendors can sort of really get a good shot at cat calling to you about how their deals are the best- come take a look! take a look! Only looking! You gotta be prepared to fend off aggressive salesmen who only wanna cut a deal.
