I was really impressed with this little shopping center for a few reasons: PROs ++ All the shops were really cute! Full of great pottery, shirts, magnets, liquors, luchador masks, sombreros, etc... Everything you need to find great souvenirs to take home to your friends/family. ++ There's a little local artisan beer stand and a Starbucks too! ++ The sales people are not overly pushy. ++ The shopping center is located close to many of the hotels in the Playacar area. Makes a great evening stroll! CONs -- There was a man with a small monkey for tourists to take pictures with. I can't help but feel bad for the little monkey. Plaza Playacar is def a great little shopping center in the Playacar area!

The items were very reasonably priced in fact they have the same as on 5th Ave. lol Well some. The staff speak Spanish and very few speak English in fact we have not come across any staff that did to tell you the truth. So brush up on speaking Spanish!!! The tellers are friendly and there is a person that bags your groceries and you are required to tip. This location is a superstore, which carry groceries, clothes, household products and more. During our stay we will be returning.

The ladies were extremely helpful and didn't try to oversell you. I found a lot of stuff I liked if only I liked it better on me!! Those damn display dummies wear everything so perfectly.

The fact that it's handmade is really important to me because this means there's only one of each! There will be no repeated patterns& designs. I also love the fact that the money will be going to the workers and owner of the store (whom are locals.) Because there's only one of each, and all equally beautiful, I literally stood there for 30-60 minutes looking for the right one. The lady that worked there was extremely sweet. She explained how it was handmade and what fruit it's made out of (I actually don't remember what it's called, but she said it's a hard Mexican fruit.) It was fairly easy to negotiate with her because she saw how hard it was to pick one. Also because we bought two, she gave my friend and I a total of $10USD discount. I would highly recommend buying one! I bought a ceiling hook just for this light and it's just too gorgeous.

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 !
