Quinta Avenida - 77720 Playa del Carmen

man- it’s just so touristy but that’s what you can expect in Playa- people bombarding you trying to scam you, heads up all the 2x1 deals are fake and overpriced, the free tequila tasting or shots are made to sell you equally as overpriced tequila once you’re drunk enough. Nothing of substance to buy don’t believe them when they say stuff is handmade (especially the magnets lol) save your pesos

Very popular and busy tourist strip. This would be a great place for a stroll and some shopping if it was not for people CONSTANTLY hounding you to enter their stores or to buy drugs. Every 100 meters you walk someone will ask you to buy drugs - guaranteed. At times they will follow you for a short while before giving up which made it feel borderline unsafe - though in all fairness it did feel safe simply because it is very busy. The stores and restaurants are interesting to look at however we decided not to enter most of them because of the constant hounding. Most shops sell the same types of overpriced souvenirs. It’s really unfortunate that the experience of this area is crippled by pushy vendors and drug dealers. The high end stores selling expensive items have armed guards outside and inside of the stores.. there are ‘sketchy’ people all over the place... enough said. It really is not a peaceful place to visit and in my opinion gives the area a bad reputation unless your into this sort of thing.

A stop for us everything we are in Mexico. Tons of options for shopping. A lot of food and drinking options. Much better in the evening.

Awesome local outdoor mall with plenty of street vendors. You might have to turn down some hagglers, but you’ll have a great time exploring!

You can have Alot of fun on 5th

Grat place to get away to, plenty to do and lots of restaurants, strongly recommend.

Nice mall. Though watch out for those F1 driving experience salesman, they think of a new price everytime you see them - no reason to pay more than 800 pesos for the ride and, even then, it’s only fifteen minutes.

This is a nice mall. Not very big but good for a quick shop or place to spend some time if you find yourself with inclement weather.
