SHOPPING IN THE HOTEL ZONE

There are 5 main malls on the hotel zone of Cancun:

Still in development stages this ‘Shopping village’ already houses the world famous designer clothes shop ‘Zara’. There is a Riverwalk and marine. This promises to be the most elegant of all the shopping malls in Cancun, with an interactive aquarium, restaurants, bars, cinemas and food court. La Isla  is located between Plaza Flamingo and Plaza Kukulcan.

 

 

 

 

This dome shaped mall houses The Rain Forest Café , The Hard Rock Café and The Coco Bongo Night Club. You never lose sight of anyone in this mall as the isles are circular and overlook the main downstairs foyer. Here you will find everything from Rain Forest stuffed toys to Cancun T-Shirts, if a bit pricey. The mall has a food court that overlooks the ocean.

Located in the Hotel Zone this shopping center features a wide variety of shops and boutiques. In this mall you will find economical souvenirs in the arts & crafts shops on the second floor, a Harley Davidson shop, cinemas with movies in English and Spanish, liquor stores, bikini shops, and the latest fashions at LOB. There are 2 pharmacies, a Guess jeans and Ultra Femme Perfume Store for Duty Free purchases. There is a great food court on the second floor with everything from Italian, Oriental and Mexican food. You also have Ruth's Chris Steak House, El Pescador (Seafood), O.K. Maguey (Mexican), Splash (International), 100% Natural (For those all natural folks !) and  Cenaccolo (Italian)

The original Cancun Mall and great for special gifts as it has shell shops, precious stone shops, leather stores and an art gallery of the famous Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante. There is a Señor Frogs shops and a Ralph Polo, so there is something to suit everyone. The Mall is surrounded by Restaurants including Savio's, la Fisheria and 100% Natural. Close by, after the Party Center you will find the Black Coral (Coral Negro) Flea market, which is quite fun to visit. Lots of little shops with arts and crafts. Always bargain in this type of market. You may also find some spray paint artists that are quite skilled doing planetary landscapes.

 

 

Planet Hollywood at one end and Pat O’Brien’s at the other gives someone more reason to walk through and enjoy the little tobacco shops, the cigar shops, Italian glass store, music and arts and crafts shops. You will also find here the Outback Steak House and a Sanborn's for an afternoon cool drink, just to get out of the heat.
