The mall offers a great mix of options, from high-end luxury brands to stores that cater to everyday needs, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for stylish clothing, beauty products, or essentials for your trip, you’re bound to find it here.

The mall’s open and modern design creates a pleasant atmosphere, and its central location makes it easy to stop by while exploring the vibrant streets of Playa del Carmen. Whether you’re in the mood for a little retail therapy, grabbing a quick bite, or enjoying a good cup of coffee, La Quinta Alegría is a great spot to visit. It’s more than just a shopping mall—it’s a convenient and enjoyable destination that fits seamlessly into your Playa del Carmen experience.

It's beautifully decorated with a festive Christmas vibe, and there's a variety selection of desired brands. The restroom on the second floor was under repair, so I could only use the third floor, and it was packed with people.

If you make it through the gauntlet of street vendors, you're rewarded with nice air conditioning and quality products. Everything seemed pretty over priced. But hey, it's a tourist trap, what do you expect

Overpriced everything, but there is a clean public restroom on the second floor that has been a lifesaver multiple times while walking 5th haha!

Beautiful. The stores are great. They have a lot of them so you better have time for it. Just by walking you’ll enjoy it and then there’s the 5ta Av. with a lot of restaurants and other things. So you’ll have plenty to do. And yeah, everything’s expensive.

Atmosphere is very Lively a great spot to people watch. Price can definitely range, you have your very high-end shops to your average and affordable. Some of the sellers can be pushy.... they really want to take advantage of the tourism. Their livelihood depends on sales. A lot of great spots to eat at. Would recommend doing sightseeing and a little souvenir shopping.

Nice open area, lots of shops to choose from and area for guest to sit down and kick back while shopping. Listen to live music and just enjoy the day

Came here for spring break and was told this was the perfect place for shopping. It really is! I bought so many souvenirs and outfits from boutiques. So much to choose from at a good price. Cant wait to come visit again!

My husband and I kept hearing about 5th Avenue, so we decided to venture out to see what all of the hoopla was all about. As soon as we accessed the mall, we were greeted by a guard who took temperature and pointed us toward to the hand sanitizer. One thing I can say about Mexico, safety precautions all taken everywhere! The first store we encountered was Forever 21 the selection was the same as what we have in the states. The store was very clean and the staff was friendly. My one complaint, you had to walk back out of the mall get leave the store. Other than forever 21, there weren't many other stores we wanted to patronize other than American eagle. They had a H&M which was a short walk from the main entrance, which was closed for some odd reason. Oddly, there were other major brand name stores along fifth avenue, but I was unsure if they were considered a part of the mall. All and all, the experience was good. The stores were all clean, the staff was all friendly and helpful. A directory would be a little more helpful in understanding the stores layout, but it is quite possible that I just missed it.

The interior is really pretty. The stores are unique to me (from the US). The parking was very convenient and affordable. The parking lot is underground. It has escalators for people with limited mobility. It also has a pretty cool sign out in front of Avenida Quinta which takes you out to the street vendors, restuarants, etc...

So on this day my wife and I wanted to do some shopping and decided to venture off the resort on our own. Quinta Algeria is located in downtown Playa Del Carmen and we wanted to get into this area anyway. It was about a 20 minute ride from our resort but seemed shorter. The mall is taking precautions to prevent the spread of covid as they request you sanitize your hands as you walk in and there is a guard checking temperatures at the door. It's nice inside and gave me the feel of The Gallery mall in downtown Baltimore. I wasn't a big fan of this mall as it did not have any sneaker stores. Whenever we go shopping, that's all I care about, sneakers, I mean I have enough clothes lol. There are plenty clothing stores for women though. I was able to stop in American Eagle and buy a couple outfits so it wasn't a waste. As a man, this isn't the mall for you, let your lady enjoy herself and hopefully you can get to the outlets.

Playa Del Carmen is already a mess of tourists, but does it get more touristy than Quinta Alegría? This three story mall is located smack dab in the heart of Quinta Avenida, a street with more attractions than anywhere else in the city. The shopping is nothing more impressive than any regular mall in the US, but I imagine there are still better places to shop, even in Quintana Roo. For anyone who has been to a few high end malls, Quinta Alegría is not all that impressive. Depending on the need, there is probably *something* for everyone like a coffee at Starbucks, shoes at Aldo, a nice top from Forever 21, or a new pair of sunglasses at Oakley. I'm probably the worst retail consumer to truly judge because I fully admit I'm never here for the shopping. Instead, I'm here for relief. It's hot as hell outside (#1) most of the time and the air conditioner is excellent here. Come in soaking wet, exit cool and dry in a matter of minutes. If there is any reason for me to mall it up at QA, it's this alone. An added bonus, the WiFi is blazingly fast. Sure connections are subjective (i.e. if everyone is using it, it's not going to be quick), but I've been here a handful of times to know that I could sit in a cafe with a laptop and rock ridiculous speeds or use my phone for some WiFi calling. And finally, there is the bathroom. My rule of thumb when traveling is only using public restrooms at hotels and malls. The men's room has an attendant in there to keep things nice and clean. I'll be back again, I'm sure. Bathroom breaks, AC indulgence, and WiFi dreams are plenty of reasons for a return. ___________ (#1) The Caribbean.

Loves this place. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Love music and full of energy. It's a block or so to the beach and so much culture. Way better than Cancun

Guess 3 stars are fair for this small shopping center in the super central Quinta Avenida in Playa. Although it has 3 floors, there aren't many shops and if you come from the US, probably the only ones that will be of interest to you are the top floor Sanborn's (a chain of Mexican and International food - pretty decent, I love their enchiladas!) and the ground floor's La Europea, another famous Mexican liquors chain shop. While I love La Europea, it's variety of tequilas and the fair prices (really, don't buy your tequila anywhere else, at our hotel it costed 3 times more!), this shop is smallish compared to the one in Cancun but they have the best tequila brands and other liquors. Probably the only other interesting vendor is the Nutrisa frozen yogurt place in the ground floor. But as I wrote, if you live in the US or visit often, I don't think you're dying to visit the Forever 21, Victoria's Secret beauty, American Eagle and sports stores here. Still, it's an OK place to rest in the shadow if you're walking through the Quinta Avenida under the hot Caribbean sun.
