Great place to shop and eat. It was in walking distance from The Beach Palace Hotel.When you enter and you walk over the bridge the first store on your right with Mexican souvenirs has the best prices.

I love this shopping center! They have two of my favorite stores, Pull&Bear and Tous. Its a very pretty outdoor shopping center with lots of eating places, a movie theater, aquarium, and tons of upscale shopping. The only reason I don't give Plaza Isla a 5 is because they are currently under construction and charge for parking. Other than that... More

This was my first time in Mexico, and though I'm read enough to know I shouldnt expect an "authentic" mexican anything while staying at an all-inclusive, I was a little taken aback by how commercialized Cancun, and in particular, this mall is. For lovers of corporate names and premium prices this is a great place to waste a day of... More

Pleasant visit if you fancy a day out of the sun or even on bad weather days, nicely laid out, nice variety of shops, some good bars along the harbour side where you can enjoy a relaxing tub of cold Coronas and it gets sun for most of the day. This place had variety of high end shops such as... More

This mall is a tourist trap. The selection of stores is the same as what you would see at regular malls in the US or Canada. The price of merchandise is exactly the same, if not more expensive from back home, so there is no point of wasting your precious vacation time when you could get exactly the same product... More

High-end stores, good quality Mexican souvenirs. Some very good restaurants, most right on the water. We had East Indian food there that was delicious and beautifully served.

This is a beautiful outdoor mall, very modern and clean. You can find anything you need. Nice shops, restaurants and bars. If you are looking for a more authentic shopping experience go to Coral Negro or Market 28.

Just like at home, just an outdoor mall with just about anything you could want. Go to the Flea market or Market 28 if you want a cultural "authentic" experience!

Excellent mall, with many stores and restaurants. There's a Hooters, with a nice view for the laggon, and also boat and waverunners tours on the laggon.

Pity as it was a nice place to shop but got hassled in shops by staff, it not what you would expect. We had a nice meal here the best one we had in Cancun but had to send the steak back, we asked for medium to well and got rare to medium. This seems to be a problem in... More
