Paradise Beach and Shopping?

[CruisingCatherine]

We plan on spending the morning at Paradise Beach on our September Cruise. After we want to go shopping. Any suggestions on the best shopping area in Cozumel?

Hop in a cab and ask for Cinco Soles. You'll travel past your ship and into town. Cinco Soles is just about the last shop on the waterfront, and the best. It's in a large, Spanish style mansion, and each room houses a different kind of purchase: silver and jewelry, glassware, ceramics, paper mache, t-shirts, boutique, onyx, furniture, hot sauces and condiments, tequila and other liquor... and much more. Because they purchase in quantity, their prices are reasonable. No haggling here however, the prices are fixed.

If you don't find what you want, stroll back towards your ship, every doorway is another shop!

Enjoy!

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds just like what I wanted. How far is this from the dock?

Also, I was planning on bringing some school supplies for the kids. I have the list of items you need. Is there anything in particular on this list that you never seem to get enough of?
