 Mercado 28 (2002) by Kaspian
You can spend anywhere from a few hours to an entire day in this market. Make sure you have a specified meeting time and place if you seperate, otherwise you may never find each other.
They accept pesos and American dollars.
About half the price of the same souvenir items found in the Hotel Zone, but have your haggling skills ready.
Visit my Cancun Travelogues for more photos of Mercado 28.
Pottery, statues, crafts, hats, leather, rugs, blankets, food and herbs, clothing, baskets and handbags, and lots of silver jewelry.
Anywhere from $50 to $300 depending on how much jewelry you want to buy. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Just off Avenida Yaxchilan and SunyaxchenDirections: Downtown. Any cab driver will know where to bring you if you tell them you are going to Mercado 28.

 The entrance to Market 28 by Etoile2B
Leather, silver, pottery, postcards, hair braids, frames, magnets, glassware, art work, handicrafts, etc. Don't expect to find anything "out of the ordinary" or terribly unique though, all the marketplaces in Cancun sell all the same types of things.
Shop around and bargaining is the key to getting good prices here. We talked a vendor down from 900 pesos to 300 pesos. Talk about a markup! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Avenida Yaxchilán and SunyaxchenDirections: From the Hotel Zone take the R2 bus downtown. Exit the bus right before the WalMart make a right at the corner and follow the signs to Market 28 (aprox 3 block walk from the bus stop).Website: http://www.cancun.bz/shopping_tips.htm

 These are what I got from the
flea mkts by zilo
silver accessories, potteries, handcrafts. Personally, I like the ear rings and rings they sold there. Some of them are pretty stylish.
I found that all the merchandises they sold in the flea market don't come with a fixed price. Those people vary the cost of a merchandise based on how they judge on how much you can spend. THEREFORE, never pay for what the price that they quoted for you!!! BARGAIN plays an interesting role in the flea market there. I have an experience that a silver necklace is marked as 800 pezels (=US$80), and I got it for 180 pezels in the final.
In the flea markets in Cancun, the best to pay is in pezels. Although they also accept US dollars, they usually charge you in a higher rate. Don't get worried if you don't have enough pezels while you are shopping in the flea markets, there are many money exchange shops around. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsAddress: on Tankah St

If you want bargains, head to the mainland to Cancun City's outdoor markets lining the east side of Avenida Tulum-but note that while prices may be lower there, the quality can be, too. Market vendors may not accept credit cards; even if they do, you can often get a better price if you offer cash instead of credit cards. Almost all stores take U.S. dollars as well as pesos-often you'll find prices marked in both currencies-or even just U.S. dollars! Bargaining is expected in the markets in Cancun City, but plan to pay the marked price in shops in the Hotel Zone. Almost all the shops in the Hotel Zone take major credit cards. Shopping is a popular pastime in the Hotel Zone, but don't expect many bargains in the shopping malls. In fact, you can expect prices to be higher than in other parts of Mexico. The shopping malls contain everything from souvenir shops to internationally known boutiques-resort wear and handicrafts are among the best buys. Handicrafts include handwoven fabrics, blown glass and jewelry. The largest shopping malls are Plaza Caracol, Plaza Kukulkan (midway along Paseo Kukulkan) and Plaza Flamingo Theme: Other

Ahhhh... as a Wal*Mart associate, I had to check out the Cancun version. Much the same as anywhere else, Low Prices, Always!
I was amazed at the way their store was set up... Mainly the fresh areas. I have never seen pork rinds as big as the whole pig!
You can stock up on souvenirs at any of the local flea markets, but be prepared to haggle over the prices! If you start to walk away, the price suddenly gets lower! Leave a Comment Theme: Discount Store

Overall I prefer shopping at the markets but in Cancún they had to great huge supermarkets, with air-con and everything you expect. One is right beside the central bus station, very handy. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

There are beach vendors that usually sell sterling silver, street vendors sell everything from t-shirts to hand-made leather goods and the malls sell the same goods as in the states.
If you are looking for sterling silver or leather products I would suggest shopping the black market in the downtown area. Everyone wants your money and they even compete with each other to give you a lower price. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsDirections: Downtown area
