Zero Stars. Typical junk souvenirs, only went in because other people in our group wanted to shop a little bit. Figured I’d get a cool T shirt but then after we were shown the price they charged us double what we were told. Will be disputing the charge with the bank but don’t waste your time or money it’s worse than most.

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

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.

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.

Avoid this place. Everything is every expensive. Fiance tried to buy flip flop, they said $1200 for them. We said to no thank you. They said $1000. We still said no. And they were annoyed with us. Whatever I'm not getting suckered

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.
