Artuno Posted March 19, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Traveling to Costa Maya next month and I'm looking for ideas on something to shop for - maybe something unique to the area that you can't find back home at the Dollar store, that was made somewhere else. Is there anything only found in this region? How much did you pay and where? Thanks for the tips. Artuno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margord Posted March 20, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'd be interested in the answer to this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkrnjlr Posted March 25, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 25, 2007 What is Costa Maya known for? I know that in Cozumel I got some Vanilla (for cooking) and it was great. I read about it on these boards and knew I had to have some! Anything for Costa Maya? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Charlie Posted March 26, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Don't think you are going to find many unique items in Costa Maya, unique meaning you can't find the same type of item in other Mexican ports. Only thing we brought back from Costa Maya that we had never seen in another port was a bottle of pomegranite tequila. However, we've never looked for that type of tequila in other Mexican ports before. We just happened to see it in one of the liquor shops there at the port.

sue2002 Posted April 21, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Does anyone know if Costa Maya has good liquor prices? We will also be going to Costa Rica and Panama. Which ports would have the best prices? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simkoreb Posted April 22, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 22, 2007 We bought an Aztec Calendar made from individual pieces of wood put together. A few vendors were selling it at the pool area, but only saw one guy selling it by Majuhal beach area. We negotiated for the biggest one (it is huge) from 400 down to like 200 or so. While I did see this in Belize too, it was $800 there at one of the jewelry stores. It was hard taking it home on the plane, but it is beautiful hanging on our wall.
