When in Cozumel you must consider buying black coral jewelry--they have the best in the Caribbean.

Rare aubreyc1988 Posted December 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I love my blankets I got in Cozumel, strange I know, but for 6.00 ea they look nice in my Home and are warm Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted December 11, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I am not a shopper, I seldom buy anything unless it is truly unique and has a place in my home. In Belize I bought a beautiful bowl made from the wood of a Zericote tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaofwonder Posted December 11, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I bought some beautiful pottery in Roatan. Going back in March and looking forward to purchasing some more (especially since I'm driving home and don't have to worry about it breaking!).

jerrib Posted December 11, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Cozumel - I have a sterling silver chain necklace. Every time I visit Cozumel I purchase a pendant with a different stone. The quality is beautiful, hefty weight and very reasonably priced. - Many years ago I purchased two of those wildly colored Mexican blankets, very inexpensive. They are not thick, not really suitable as blankets. However, I have two great uses. 1) great as a beach blanket, they fold up small, but when open they provide a large space. 2) I use them as tablecloths whenever I am entertaining and serving Mexican food. Very festive looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker954 Posted December 11, 2013 #16 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm going to get slammed for this, but I'm only providing the OP with a response. I'm not condoning nor encouraging. OP, some people have successfully bought legitimate prescription meds in Cozumel. There is an American pharmacists who many trust. Just google Cozumel + prescription drugs and read the reviews, what type of meds tourists have purchased, where they purchase it and if its legit or not and decide for yourself. I have purchased Retin A and on occasion antibiotics (z-paks). If you purchase anything like this, make sure you check the expiration date. That is the only thing I've read some people have gotten taken by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted December 12, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Do you have any favorite stores that you shop at for silver jewelry?Can you recommend your favorite?:) I don't recall the name. It's in the last building you pass through as you are leaving the secure port area at the International Pier. Just before you step out of the building (where the taxis are), there's a jewelry store on the right side. We've used them a few times and have been pleased with their products and service. We've used a US credit card there and they charge in pesos and it's always comes in out in USD to exactly what we agree to.

They make great decorative blanket and they are nice for those summer months when on the couch when you want to cover up but don't want a huge thick blanket...I'm gonna buy more when in Cozumel again as they are so cheap Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summersigh Posted December 24, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 24, 2013 When in Cozumel you must consider buying black coral jewelry--they have the best in the Caribbean. I agree - I bought a beautiful set (necklace, bracelet and earrings) at the Mayan shops where the 1st Catholic church sits next to the old Mayan Temple ruins. The price was great and it looks good with many different styles of clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamFritz Posted December 24, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Cozumel has beautiful tee shirts with a shapely woman's body in a bikini. I bought one for my wife. Funny, I spent the rest of the cruise sleeping on the sofa. (Just kidding; that didn't really happen.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, please excuse all the typos.

jsquaredfl Posted December 24, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'm not a big drinker, but i do enjoy some fine tequilas, so i would grab a few bottles, they have some amazing designs and some wonderful flavors from tequilas you can't buy in the US so every time i cruise to cozumel or anywhere in Mexico i grab a few bottles for the next year or two, and i never buy the same stuff twice unless it was really amazing.

philnpen Posted December 24, 2013 #25 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Should Coral even be sold? The harvesting of Coral kills it and can not be replaced in your lifetime, if at all. Not sure if it is illegal to own in the U.S. like turtle shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
