Perhaps this could have been a 5-star review, but (not surprisingly) the prices are a bit elevated for the captive audience.
La Plaza provides a number of vendors, many of whom will be attractive to the splurging family.
The tiny grocery store does offer a decent selection of food, but mostly in support of breakfast and snacks. Fresh fruit and produce is astoundingly expensive ($6 US for a pint of blueberries in January), but that's trivial if that's all you really want. If you plan to cook in your unit, then you should get out of the resort to find a full grocery store.
There are a number of high-end "shops" through La Plaza. The grocery store is on the first floor, along with a bakery, fromagerie (cheese shop), chocolate shop, wine shop (with wine-by-the-glass), boutique stuff, and a frozen yogurt place. Definitely the place to head to when the sweet tooth kicks in.
The middle (second) floor is mostly shopping (clothes, paintings, sculptures, etc.), while the uppermost (third) floor houses an elegant French bistro along with more shopping. An outdoor patio up there also has a taqueria. This year they also offered some "artisanal" craft beers, including a drinkable (but not notable) IPA. In the early evening you might also hear someone performing on a small stage.
In addition, there are outdoor seating areas off the lower floor that look out over water. read more
