 Shopping is an activity all its own in Cancun. The most popular items are resort wear and local handicrafts. Most shops have fixed prices, but bargaining is still expected in the markets.
Stores generally close for the siesta hours, 1pm - 4pm. The downtown area is composed mainly of shops and markets as well as a large department store. At the Mercado Vienteocho, you will find many of the same gifts and souvenirs sold in the Hotel Zone at half the price. The newest mall, Plaza las Americas is home to 50 shops, a movie theater and three large department stores. The majority of the "mega malls" are located in the Hotel Zone. At the Plaza Kukulkan you will find over 200 shops, a bowling alley, a 3-screen cinema, several restaurants, a bank and even a laser tag area. Located in the Flamingo Plaza are designer and specialty shops, boutiques and sportswear stores. Boutiques such as Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Bennetton, Guess, and Bally as well as a Cartier jewelery are located in the Plaza Caracol. Prices for clothing are generally lower than in the same stores located in the US. The ultra trendy and ultra expensive La Isla Shopping Village is said to be the most intriguing in Cancun. A series of canals, walkways, and bridges connect the shops, aquarium, marina, movie theaters, disco and restaurants. Some of the shops found at La Isla are Swatch, Guess, Bennetton, H. Stern, and Zara clothing, as well as the first Warner Brothers Studio in Mexico. There are also several duty-free shops, the largest being UltraFemme. Return to top |

| | Living in Cancun
Cancun is blessed with endless stretches of white sand beaches kissed by turquoise waters. This is Mexico's premier vacation destination, a Caribbean extravaganza with charms to entice any visitor. Cancun has a wonderful array of accommodations at great prices.
| | Cancun Real Estate
In spite of Cancun's instant name recognition around the world, it is still a fledgling city. Development originally began in 1970, and two years later the resort was officially born. Home to thousands of North Americans and, increasingly, Europeans, Cancun has become the epicenter for Mexico's booming tourism industry - the seventh-largest in the world.
| Retiring in Cancun
Cancun might not be the first place that springs to mind when thinking of retiring in Mexico, but this coastal resort has a lot more to offer than boisterous mega clubs and an army of U.S. springbreakers. As soon as you're out of the hotel zone everything becomes much more sedate, with low-rise buildings and larger public spaces.
| | Working in Cancun
Most expatriates either arrive in Mexico to work for a multinational company or with the idea of trying to find a job here. The latter has limited scope due to Mexico's fairly rigid labor laws. To get work in Mexico, a foreigner has to prove to the immigration authorities that he or she is capable of doing a job that a Mexican national isn't qualified to do.
| | Vacation Activities in Cancun
There are so many activities to participate in that you will find you need extra vacation days to try them all. You can swim in the warm waters of the Caribbean or in one of Cancun's many hotel pools. Water sports abound: windsurfing, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, boating and fishing.
