Where can I buy groceries?


GROCERY STORES:


Soriana is a recent addition to Playa del Carmen and is located on the western side of the highway, to your right, coming from Cancun, to your left coming from Akumal. It is located within a very large mall area on the south end of Playa del Carmen. The mall is easy to spot, with access via the frontage road that runs parallel to the highway. Just look for your first "retorno" or frontage access.

Chedraui and Sam’s Club have easily accessible locations just off of highway 307. Each of these offers a substantial selection and variety of products making it easier than ever to eat well for cheap during your visit. Fresh produce, imported meats, beer, wine and other spirits, beach toys, snorkel equipment and clothing are all available. For a quicker trip consider Aki in Tulum. This is an easy option for staples, fruits and vegetables.


Do you have any tips for me while I'm here?


A FEW DON'TS:


• Don’t bring expensive jewelry.
• This is a very safe part of Mexico but as with travel everywhere use common sense and respect that you are in a foreign country.
• Don’t speed and do not drink and drive - there are numerous police checks along the way as this is a long, flat, straight road, and folks want to drive FAST.
