IF YOU KNOW HOW TO SPEAK SPANISH AND UNDERSTAND IT, DO NOT COME HERE. I went here due to the fact that I woke up earlier than all my other passed out travel companions. So I decided to take a walk and do a little shopping. What a bad decision. Vendors haggle and the quality / price is not a... more

We went down to Mercado 28 a couple of times on our recent trip to Cancun. It is definitely cheaper to shop there for most things but you really have to be aggressive about bargaining and be prepared to walk away if you don't get the price that you want. The vendors will all hound you to come into their... more

We stayed at the Sun Palace so took the #2 bus to Market 28. If your goal is to find some good Mexican merchandise such as tequila glasses, souvenirs, hammocks, etc and enjoy haggling for prices; then this is the place to go. Getting around can be a bit confusing as everything looks the same. My wife and I got... more

Where to start.......first, it is a pretty long haul to get out there. Once you do get there you are hounded by shady looking guys who are all over you like white on rice as soon as you step out of the taxi wanting to power sell you and promising prices "lower than Wal-Mart", yes that is a direct quote... more

Went to the Market 28 today and was just as anticipated. If you like mall shopping, prices posted and laid back sales people, this place probably isn’t for you. Took a cab from Excellence Resort in Playa De Mujeres which ran 15. US each way. Typical local shopping and haggling with everything from jewelry to hand crafted items with several... more

DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD HERE!!! Don't go here at all! This is a very dangerous place! The vendors swarmed like flies and were very very aggressive. I feared for my safety. I attempted to make a $200 purchase. My card was taken around the corner and a charge of $600 was charged to my account!! I was told... more

Ok, so after hearing everyone saying 'go to market 28, its so much cheaper' - we did. Well, we didn't realize that those same people were probably going to the REAL expensive places to compare it to. Here goes my suggestion: Go to the Mexican Outlet (the yellow stores). There are a few of them on the strip - my... more

July 6, 2008 I just arrived back from Cancun with my daughter, we absolutely loved shopping at Mercado 28. It was exactly what I thought it would be like. You have to haggle of course with the people, but you will get a good price for the things you want if you are smart and don't buy the first thing... more
