Punta Lagosta Mall, Cozumel Mexico
On our recent Western Caribbean cruise, one of our port stops was Cozumel, Mexico. At this particular port we did not have a shore excursion planned, we just decided to get off the ship and wander.
The Disney Fantasy had docked at the Punta Lagosta pier, the main pier to the downtown area of Cozumel. This was a very convenient area with both Senor Frogs and the Punta Lagosta Mall nearby, both heavily supported tourist stops.
Mexican Frog
We entered the well-maintained, freshly painted mall, with the goal of finding that perfect souvenir for our home. We had previously purchased an Aztec calendar wall hanging while in Ensenada, Mexico. Our goal was to find something with the Mayan Calendar on it.
We found numerous fully stocked and staffed souvenir shops in which to browse. The prices for the most part we very affordable. Depending on what type of item a person was searching for, one of the many shops could oblige. There were shops full of ceramic suns, lizards, and fish. Some were full of handbags, jewelry, hats, and T-shirts.
Mexican Art
Some shops were surprisingly full of Marvel Comic book characters. These shops seemed a little out of place, but the items were fun to look at anyway.
The shop owners were very friendly and welcoming. Some got a little pushy, trying to get your attention to look at the wares that they were trying to sell.
Senor Frogs, Cozumel
Once our shopping was complete, we took a few pictures, stopping in for a quick beverage at Senor Frogs, before venturing back to the boat.
Overall, we found the Punta Lagosta Mall a delightful, friendly, well-maintained, easy walk through. It also seemed comfortably cool as we sauntered. The prices in general were very affordable.
