Shopping in Cancun will probably be a very interesting experience. There are thousands of stores, thousands of things to buy and thousands of different prices. (Please visit my Yucatan Shopping Tips page for precaucions and safety when buying things.) You can go to markets to barter for mexican handcrafts, or look in american style malls for things from italian clothing to smoking houses to Senor Frogs wear.

**However you might want to note that Cancun is very expensive, more expensive than I have ever seen for a city in Mexico, and if you decide to make a trip into Yucatan, you might want to save your "Mexican" handicraft shopping for here. Shopping is about 100 percent cheaper in the Yucatan state.

Here is a list of several of the malls and markets available for the Cancun Tourist:

There are many stores here ranging from a Smoke house, a shoe store, italian clothing, shells, farmacies, ceramics, galleries, casual clothing, jewelry, mexican handcrafts, Polo wear, Senor frogs wear, Perfumes and Bird art.

This plaza contains a souvenir store, leather store, Harley Davidson outfit, galleries, and extravagent jewelry and sunglasses.

There is jewelry stores, a smoke shop, a gym, Gucci, a photo store, sporting goods, drug store, sunglasses, and an Xcaret store, lots of t-shirt stores too.

La Mansion/Costa Blanca

This is a shopping area for more unusual gifts since the focus is mostly on art works, precious gems, paintings and sculptures, many from Mexican/Mayan Origin.
