Chedraui was definitely the best grocery store on the island as far as selection. Eggs are cheaper than in USA and so delicious. My kids loved the pastry section-- so fresh each morning. Tip: you pick up a large metal platter, use the tongs to select your pastries, and take them to the register at the back to be packaged and priced. Note that you need to bring your own grocery bags and cannot carry in a backpack. If you do you have to leave it at the customer service counter. Chedraui also has anything you may have forgotten for the beach -- hats, sunglasses, sunscreen. Centrally located on the island. We often walked there and then took a cab back with our groceries.

This is the primary grocery store on Isla Mujeres. This is the largest store as well. It has…read moreeverything you need plus more to stock your pantry and fridge for your vacation on Isla Mujeres. If you are from the US or Canada, there will definitely be some comforts of home that you will need to substitute or do without. Also, there are other things that you may be used to buying that they simply do not have. For example, milk is not available in 1 gallon containers. Coffee creamer is hit or miss. We used cooking cream that was vanilla flavored. They do seem to always have hazelnut creamer if you can live with that instead. Grocery stores in Mexico also have a full selection of liquor. The tequila selection here is greater than what I have seen in a liquor store in the US. This grocery store is also the local appliance center, home goods, and moped dealer but I doubt if you are buying any of that stuff while you are here for your extended stay. They do take credit cards and do not charge you a conversion fee upfront. If you have an elderly person bagging groceries with the checkout person, please tip them. They are not employed and your tip is their wage. Bottom line - This is the largest and best grocery store on Isla Mujeres. It is our go-to location for almost anything we need for our extended stays.

Over the years I have always found pretty much everything I need in this store, maybe not…read moreeverything I want, but don't ever recall going hungry after leaving. Always find it fun to go into stores in different countries. Even some of the packaging is totally different than the US. Have attached a photo of the hours they are open as of 5.11.2016. They were open before 8am today. Was told this is the best place to use the ATM on Isla, can't confirm that, but it did cost me roughly $1.92 US for the withdrawal. Will find out later what my bank in the US charged.

However, this little grocery store (which the locals just called "Super") is a very functional one. It was great to have around. They have all the toiletries you could possibly want and need. They have some snacks. Some diabetes-inducing baked goods. Even some produce! They also have the best/most reliable ATM on the island. That's what I was told by our concierge. This became our go-to place. Just a note: They won't sell you alcohol before 10 am. I suppose it's the law. And yes, they were consistently open before then.

They have everything. The staff is super helpful, even when your Spanish is muy malo! Quick walk…read morefrom the hotel. Highly recommend

Nothing stood out, nothing to complain about. I did look around and saw things that aren't sold in the US. Which kinda makes me jealous.
