I'm not sure what this place was like 7 years ago, but we visited today and it was amazing. No one…read moreis hassling you to buy anything, it's basically like going into a normal store and you get to take your time looking around and sampling Mexican chocolate and candies. We bought a lot of things here (even my husband who hates shopping) because we were able to peruse a lot of quality goods (much of them handmade).

This is my go to place if I want to get a souvenir in Cancun! They have many varieties of items you…read morecan get as a souvenir! Service is great as well if you have questions. I got a shirt and they have small items of drinks and food if you need anything. Plus my favorite part are their shirt designs as they have a variety.

We ventured out of the Hotel zone to this indoor mall in Cancun Centro to escape the heat and find…read morelunch. They had ample underground parking. The mall was air conditioned, clean, 80's modern, and safe with mostly middle range shops. The Food court was easy to find. There were a couple sit down restaurants. We went to the sushi restaurant but the hostess said there was a long wait. We settled on Pizza Hut for my youngest which had a surprisingly long wait. The rest of us ate Chinese "Cajun" food which is similar to what's offered in all US malls. Everyone was fed for about $35. The food was a little greasy but filling. I had to use my Spanish to order everything. The staff were all very friendly and hospitable.

It has every store you can think of from dirt ass cheap to very expensive and upscale. There's TONS of food options, a 4D theater, cheap covid testing, and a huge discount grocery store. I could've easily spent a full day here exploring all the goodies! I'm most impressed with Calcium nails where I got my gel acrylic nails done for $14 USD. I was also amazed by the grocery store. It had clothes, food, shoes, towels, alcohol, literally EVERYTHING. Like a big ole even cheaper Walmart lol. It can be very packed in the mall and a lot of people just walk right into you. I thought that was weird but hey what can ya do? I'm definitely looking forward to going back and exploring the mall even more.

Wanted to walk though to see what stores were here and there are quite a few. First thing that…read morecaught me off guard was the armed guards throughout the venue. Makes you wonder what's going o. The Boutique Palacio was the only one insert into and what a great concept. It has lots of different boutique stores in smaller sections. Lots of options. This is an outdoor mall with both dining and shopping available. I really enjoyed the lush plants throughout to really tie in the location. As I didn't purchase anything, can't speak tot he value. Perhaps next time.

Not a fan. Not actually easy to get to (if you take the wrong bus from the Hotel Zone). We took the…read moreRed #2 / local (no AC bus) and quickly discovered it was more local than tourist. The bus was packed with locals heading home from working in the hotel zone, so it was nearly impossible to alert the bus driver to stop...so we were dropped off a mile from our original planned stop. Thanks Google/Apple Maps for getting us to Mercado 28. Not fun! I'm guessing the orange bus (that we took to parque de las palapas) has a more direct route. Once we found our way there, it's the park of visiting these type of venues I hate. All the vendors are attempting to get you into their little shop, sometimes quite aggressively...and there are many small shops in the aisles/corridors of Mercado 28. So that aspect is not fun in the least. Then comes the next step, trying to get a good price on something you might be interested in. Know your peso conversions! They'll start extremely high, so you have to haggle. My daughters BF was buying a "drug rug" hoodie for a relative. It started at roughly $80 US. After quite a bit of time going back and forth, he finally got the price down to $35 (and that still seemed high ... for me at least, knowing I had one of these 40+ years ago and it was like $10, lol). I bought two hats from this same vendor and the haggling was nearly as exhausting. It started out for like $65 for the two hats, but we finally got to a price I was happy with. Something positive to say? There are many, many vendors selling goods (many of which are the same, but there are quite a few unique shops). If you love haggling, this is the place for you. Odds are you may get a better price than what you can find in the hotel zone. There are also many food vendors, but they're pushy too so we just decided to walk the half mile (maybe more like 1 mile) to parque de las palapas for our meal. We also knew where to get the bus back to the HZ from Palapas, unlike from Mercado 28 where we had to hike in from parts unknown.

There's no clear pricing (everything is labeled with confusing "codes" instead of actual prices) so you can't verify anything yourself. Whether intentional or not, it's deceptive and wastes your time. Very disappointing experience.

On the level 1 there are very much product- Once you enter there are men that try to see for different liquors. They all look quirky and fruity fluid. Tempting but I do not imbibe and don't know about the future. On the second floor they sell salad, steaks,frozen item, popsicles, ice-cream, cakes, fresh. Bollios and delicios scrumptious pan dulce. I shall return!

I got my items and used self check out, which took under 5 minutes. An attentive employee was there assisting people. I had Ubered to the Selecto and asked the driver to wait, saying I would pay him directly for the return to my hotel. It's the first time I had done this. I usually walk down to the Starbucks and grab an Uber from there. Thank God I didn't. When I reached the ground level exit a man had followed me! I stepped outside the entrance and he was shouting questions at me in English, asking where my husband was and where was I from, and didn't I want to talk to him!!! I looked for my Uber driver as the man was advancing on me. My driver saw what was happening and pulled up to me quickly, nearly running the man over. He literally saved me from a BAD situation. Where was the Super Selecto security??? I am in Cancun once a month. This is the first time I have felt unsafe.

If you are thirsty, they have bottled water. They have tequila samplings, though not all the time. I was there when they had a sampling with a scorpion in the bottle (ummm ... no). They have some small snacks near the cash register. The place has TONS of Corona beer clothing and souvenirs. They probably have a few hundred different Cancun t-shirts. They have caps. They have Sombreros for $17! They have beach covers. They have dresses to include white cotton "confirmation" ones. They have lots of ceramics and hot sauce bundles and vanilla in various sizes. They have souvenir magnets. Pretty much if you can imagine it as a souvenir, they have it. And, prices are much more reasonable than at other shops. Who has $10 t-shirts at La Isla? They do! Additionally, they have 2 benches in front of the store with 2 figurines that are good photo spots!
