Playa Del Carmen is perfect for the adventurous shopper. As you walk along checking out the various shops. Look around. You'll see neat little mexican statutes & interesting people.  You just never know what you might see.

You get to negotiate on all those Pareos, t-shirts, Mayan jewellery, brightly covered sundresses, silver jewellery, cigars, brightly decorated pottery, silver Mayan statutes, Mexican rugs, baskets, handmade hammocks, crocheted tablecloth’s and yes, various pipes crafted to look like Mayan gods. You can even negotiate for the finer jewellery made of gold, tanzinite, ruby, emerald, etc. If you don't like the response or price given back...keep negotiating.

Try visiting Plaza La Fiesta or Playa Mart, one of them is also at Paseo de Carmen mall. They are the perfect places to stop and pick up some souvenirs, really Mexican handicraft and a huge selection of tequilas, T shirts and gifts. Watch the other purchaser's & you'll soon pick up all the tips & tricks & realize this is a common practice...so go ahead & have some fun with it. So go ahead & splurge. It's well worth your American Dollar, not only do you get a break on prices but our dollar down there is generally worth $1.25. Worried about carrying around a bunch of cash? Then fear no more, most of the stores & vendors accept Visa & Mastercard and American Express. But stick to these 2 as not everyone accepts American Express or Discover.

Prices vary depending on your purchases. Crocheted tableclothes - $10 to 15. Pareao's - $5 to $15. Hammocks - $25 to $40. Mayan Jewlery - $20 for a simple bracelet or earrings on up to $250 for the intricate & more precious stone inlaid necklaces. Gold or finer jewlery - $50 for a pair of simple gold earrings on up to $600 + for your gemstone rings, necklaces & earrings. T-Shirts - the more you buy, the bigger the break.
