    I went to this cute souvenir shop near the place we were staying in Akumal (they have another…read morelocation in Cancun that is just as cute). I purchased 2 pieces of art that I love and it was fun to look at all the other vibrant and electric items and displays. The tshirts at re unique and not over the top expensive. I'd recommended this a must stop of something cute to take home.

    I did my research for a place to shop near Akumal Bay that sells real Mexican handmade art and…read moregifts....so I learned about Mexicarte and we headed straight over. Luckily, this little gem is very easily accessible and not hard to find (due to the pink exterior paint!). I hate those shops where the employees are hunting you down, basically forcing you to buy mass-produced items at ridiculous costs. We wanted a place where we could feel good about our purchases. Mexicarte sells all handmade items by artists throughout Mexico. It's almost like a fair-trade store. You leave feeling good about the money you just spent, and can come back home bearing gifts with a story behind them. Mexicarte has the prettiest, brightest, and most unique gifts in every corner of the store. We actually had to come back a few times because we kept comparing all the other shops to this one, and just wanted to spend our money here. From day of the dead items, skulls, crosses, to handbags, jewelry, wall art, clay art, you name it. Everything is handcrafted with such care and detail, you can see the love the artists put into it. Everything is priced very fair. You can find gifts for any budget, we brought back a couple little turtle figurines for about $1.50 USD for example...and great quality! I love how helpful the employees are, and can provide the backstory to all the items they sell. They let you roam around freely, and don't pressure you into buying anything. Parking? Not so sure. We stayed at Akumal Beach Resort, it took us 10 minutes to walk up the beach here. You will see the Akumal Dive Shop, walk through to the back of the Dive Shop and you will see Akumal Plaza. It's a bright pink stand-alone building. You can't miss it. Happy shopping! :)

    cute lil souvenir shop and cafe all in one!! i think its location is prime and great for tourists…read more there are plenty of little trinkets and things to take home, the café on the second floor is within a narrow staircase and has AC as well as a terrace overlooking the city park and a even more narrow staircase to the rooftop! such vibes ~~~

    Beautiful displays, with wide varieties of well-crafted stuff!…read more We came in here and checked out their booze selections, coffee offerings, and other local stuff to look at. They're big on t-shirts around here, where they mix Mayan motifs into western imagery and logos. The locally made jewelry looked to be silver and they had a lot of different things that'll end up on shelf somewhere eventually. They have some local liquors which I'd never heard of, and some chocolate liquor that could be interesting. The hammocks were shown to be of superior quality to those sold in the town square. These have four or five different strands of nylon string, while the ones out there on the sidewalk are just two, and can't handle the weight. Hey! What are you saying?! The store took dollars or pesos - you get a better price with pesos. All the prices were clearly marked, so no need to haggle over things. I'd imagine they'd still be willing to do some haggling anyhow. The prices seemed to be a bit higher than any of the street vendors we'd seen, but these were of the higher qualities of stuff. The clerks were most welcoming, and answered all of our questions about their merchandise.

    This store has some of the most beautiful & unique silver jewelry I have ever seen…read more My first visit was during the summer of 2013. I walked away very sad because I did not have enough money with me to purchase the exquisite necklace that I feel in love with the moment I saw it. Did I mention it was made for my neck? Well at least I thought so :) During my return visit in 2014 I took a chance to see if they still had the "one of a kind" necklace, they did and I JUMPED ON IT!!!!!! And it came down in price Woo HOO I have received so many compliments, I'm glad I bought it. I do plan to stop by this store in 2015, I know there will be something there to catch my eye. Ignore all the street vendors

    We were dropped off in the back parking lot of the silver palace. It evidently is a stop for many…read moreof the hotel property vans drop and pick ups. Browse, shop and compare prices. I lost one of my hoop earnings on the beach this trip. It gave me an opportunity to find a new pair of Mexican silver earrings. Of Course while here make sure to negotiate your prices. The twist here is- at the back of the shop a young man (25 years) just recently opened a small cocktail stand. He is truly a joy to chat with, he is loving making his dream come true and experimenting in his own take mixology blending some unique flavors on his own. Definitely give him a try! Plan to come back a bit early from your 5th Avenue stroll and grab a drink while you wait on your shuttle pick up. You won't regret it.

    Silver Palace - They told me the silver was too delicate for a 925 stamp. Test it with a magnet.  These are not real.
