I ate at El chipilin, a small family owned restaurant in the back area where the vendors are less pushy. I had the Costilla De puerco frita ( fried pork ribs with tacos, black beans, lettuce salad ) . The service at the restaurant was friendly. Dealing with the vendors while walking through the market can be overwhelming as they can be pushy to purchase from them, politely decline and keep walking .

Not a fan. Not actually easy to get to (if you take the wrong bus from the Hotel Zone). We took the…read moreRed #2 / local (no AC bus) and quickly discovered it was more local than tourist. The bus was packed with locals heading home from working in the hotel zone, so it was nearly impossible to alert the bus driver to stop...so we were dropped off a mile from our original planned stop. Thanks Google/Apple Maps for getting us to Mercado 28. Not fun! I'm guessing the orange bus (that we took to parque de las palapas) has a more direct route. Once we found our way there, it's the park of visiting these type of venues I hate. All the vendors are attempting to get you into their little shop, sometimes quite aggressively...and there are many small shops in the aisles/corridors of Mercado 28. So that aspect is not fun in the least. Then comes the next step, trying to get a good price on something you might be interested in. Know your peso conversions! They'll start extremely high, so you have to haggle. My daughters BF was buying a "drug rug" hoodie for a relative. It started at roughly $80 US. After quite a bit of time going back and forth, he finally got the price down to $35 (and that still seemed high ... for me at least, knowing I had one of these 40+ years ago and it was like $10, lol). I bought two hats from this same vendor and the haggling was nearly as exhausting. It started out for like $65 for the two hats, but we finally got to a price I was happy with. Something positive to say? There are many, many vendors selling goods (many of which are the same, but there are quite a few unique shops). If you love haggling, this is the place for you. Odds are you may get a better price than what you can find in the hotel zone. There are also many food vendors, but they're pushy too so we just decided to walk the half mile (maybe more like 1 mile) to parque de las palapas for our meal. We also knew where to get the bus back to the HZ from Palapas, unlike from Mercado 28 where we had to hike in from parts unknown.

Héctor was incredibly funny, and made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Michelle did an excellent job as captain and made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. Together, they made this an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend requesting Michelle and Héctor if you have the chance--you won't be disappointed!

Like anything, they will have picture/video packages they start out selling for way too much money and come down in price to something that is still high. Worth the experience.

While on vacation to Cancun we decided to check out the dolphin experience, for a unique family…read moreexperience. We arrived and got a quick run down of what expect during our time. It was noted we couldn't take our phones with us, which is a way to prevent t guests from getting free pictures of the dolphins. I quickly realized photos at the end is how they make the majority of their money, which then obligated you to buy their photos. While I get that's how they make most of their money, they way they charge for pictures is extremely expensive on a way to take advantage of guests; more specifically tourists. From inside the main building you can take video and pictures if you want, but after that you have to out your camera and phones away. A locker to secure our items while out in the water was also $15, but they also charge a $5 deposit on top of that like a security deposit. To hold for whatever reason, when the $15 you don't get back anyways. It's a sneaky way of possibly getting a little more money out of you. The actual dolphin experience was cool. We got to ride out from the center of the pool with one of the dolphins, and got to see then do tricks. While the dolphin trainer told us about the specific dolphins we got to see, and dolphins in general. The experience itself was about 45 if I had to guess, and the dolphin trainer was friendly and entertaining. WHERE THEY GET YOU: We were told it was $35/photos but upon arrival we learned it was actually $35/PER PERSON and not photo. We went as a group of 4 expecting to get at least family photos at $35/each, but with it actually being $35/per person. Our group of 4 picture was going to be $140...that's insane! The sales rep tried to get us to get the package deal of all the photos for $220; as if that was better. But if I wasn't going to pay $140 for a single group picture, I definitely wasn't going to pay $200 for all of our pictures. We opted to just get pictures of each of the boys, which was $70 and even that I was highly annoyed with. Overall: Pricing is very misleading, and with not being able to take your own photos. You're forced to get their extremely expensive photos for memories, or you're left with no pictures at all.
