Be careful here, family member was told a certain price for braids. Once they started they increase the price, ( they didn't think we understood Spanish) my daughter stopped them and asked what she owed and they told here $150.00 dollars. She asked them to stop and to inform here what she owed for what was done. They came to a firm agreement on price $50.00 and let them finish the braids. Original price was 600 pesos around 35 dollar. Make sure you are confirmed on price

It's a fun place with lots of interesting people and products to look at. Lots of haggling involved, so just keep that in mind and don't be afraid to walk away from vendors not willing to budge on their prices (there's going to be at least 15 other stores with the exact same items). Be respectful though, they need to make a living too.

Some nice items but jeez are they aggressive. To the point where we just wanted to leave and not come back. I get everyone is trying to make a buck but it was too much for us. We ended up buying some pottery from the vendor who was least aggressive and most friendly. A lesson to the more aggressive ones perhaps.

Mixed impressions. On one hand, there are so many cool and beautiful things you’ll want to buy and take home. On the other hand, the sellers are overly pushy, practically forcing you to make a purchase. They often double the prices at first and offer you a “discount,” but in the end, the same souvenir might cost less in a shopping mall without any discount. Many shops here sell the exact same souvenirs. I strongly recommend taking the time to walk through all the shops here, then check out a few malls, compare prices, and only then decide what to buy.

This is a combination of local goods and tourist stuff. Prices always start high and if you hold out you will get the items and a much lower price. Found a couple cool items that I had not seen in other places.

This is my favorite tourist market in the cancun area. Plenty of regional and craft vendors for woven goods, authentic clothing, jewelry, tecquila and mezcal and t shirts and knick knacks galore. Vendors are a little less pushy than mercado 28, so that's nice.

Most of the stalls sell very similar items, but the prices vary a lot depending on the seller. It feels like a typical tourist trap, where vendors try to get as much as they can from visitors. We managed to buy a few things after some persistent bargaining. Initial prices were often comparable to what you’d pay in the U.S. Be aware that some sellers may become rude or impatient if you offer too low a price, so negotiate respectfully.

Cute things but too aggressive and told me the price for something was one price and then charged me extra on my credit card and wouldn't fix the price they told me. Do not recommend stall called Tequila y Mezcal. Tequila is ridiculously overpriced. Also, even though they say they open at 8:00, most of the stalls do not
