Popo's is the one clothing shop on the Malecon that we return to every time. She always finds something here she likes. On our 2021 trip we passed on some blingy wedge sandals that she was still thinking about. Boom, they still had them. She also picked out two dresses and some sheer beach pants.
The staff are helpful and don't apply too much pressure. We probably don't haggle enough, though the prices are already very good in US standards. The front room is cooler than the back room where the dressing rooms are. Humid, sticky dressing rooms are a bit tricky when putting clothes on and off. For this reason they don't let you try on anything white. A little "ew" but makes sense.
Looking for some flowy beach dresses, sandals, or a bathing suit I'd recommend Popos for Malecon finds! read more
