My fiancé and I came to Cancun to get married on the beach. In the US I am a wedding and event…read moredesigner so I planned on doing my own bouquet, headpiece, boutonnière and decor. I found Papeleria Cancun by searching craft supplies. I think I entered the back door which was fine because that is the side of the building which has the items I was looking for namely ribbon, wire, floral tape, pins. I ended up with a bag of materials to work with and the total cost was $35. US. Everything was cheap, the roll of ribbon was the most expensive thing at $14. US, but it was a nice quality satin and there are 108 meters on it. I got three dozen ivory roses at Walmart in Cancun for $5.US a dozen. One brilliant idea my fiancé had was to rent a huge box of beautiful shells for $40 dollars from a vendor in the Mercado. We used those to decorate the wedding area. I'm enclosing some pics of what I made for my wedding. It turned out lovely and saved sooo much money too. Also made giant paper roses out of printer paper. The store does have an odd assortment of items upstairs, but I like a treasure hunt.

Once again thoroughly disappointed and aggravated at this place. This has to be the worst business…read morein the area. They are always so slow and the people working in the copying and printing do not know how to do their jobs or how to use their equipment. I waited for an hour to get served at a computer and then it took them an hour to figure out how to print the 1,000 pages (8 documents) I needed printed. Eventually I went to the manager over the printing area and requested a different person because the one serving me knew nothing. This gentleman got all my stuff printed in a very short time. The manager did not even have the courtesy to offer me a discount for wasting my time. Horrible customer service and an incompetent staff.

This place was recommended by a hotel staffer…read more This marketplace/flea market was not filled with vendors, so selection was scarce compared to Mercado 28. However, the jewelry selection was much better than any shopping are we experienced, including our hotel (Grand Park Royal). I purchased a cat-eye ring for around $70 for $63. In the USA, it's worth more. The stone is laid in 92.5 sterling silver and fits rather well, not overpowering to the look. I would go back just for the jewlry selection, but nothing more, that is why I gave it a 2-Star (at best).

We bought a couple of tours from a vendor here. The guy Pablo did not explain all the wasted time…read moreyou lose in the traveling in buses from location to next location. Talking to other visitors It was evident that most excursions from all vendors were similar. Talked to some regular vacationers and locals and everyone recommended either renting a car n taking yourself to the parks or getting to ferry (we went to isla mujeres) on your own and avoiding being on the 'tours' schedule n taking control of your time. We literally wasted half our vacation getting from rally to rally point where more stuff was being sold wasting precious time listening to 'options' was frustrating but in the end it was my choice to purchase and as a first time visitor learned a lot.
