Shopping
Most of the shops catering to tourists are in malls spread along the Hotel Zone. There are shops selling European fashions, jewellery, expensive perfumes as well as outlets Mexican crafts. Almost all the hotels will have a convenience store and a boutique. There are many shops selling tequila and cigars – especially Cuban cigars, which are banned in the nearby US. Shops in Cancun generally stay open until 2200.
Try the following: Flamingo Plaza for shops and restaurants next to a lagoon boardwalk, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 11.5, Hotel Zone; La Isla Shopping Village, on the Nichupte Lagoon under a giant canopy; Market 28 (commonly called Mercado Veintiocho), the Downtown flea market just off Avenida Yaxchilan and Sunyaxchen; Coral Negro, the only open-air market in the Hotel Zone; and Casa del Fumador, Plaza Caracol, Boulevard Kukulcan Km 8.5, for Cuban cigars.
