La Isla was a waste of time. It's just another Mall, but it's in Cancun. High end shops with high end prices. If you are travelling to Cancun check it out, if you want, but it really is a waste of time. More

I'm from Florida and we have outlet malls all over the place. La Isla is basically the same concept, but without the discount prices or air conditioning. The nice thing is that MOST of the employees won't bug you to see their shop, but they do have those annoying tour vendors all over the place. Most of the mall is... More

This open air "mall" is breathtakingly beautiful and a great tourist attraction- it has Senor Frog store, and many brand name stores such a Nike for a decent price. The night lights are very pretty at the pier and the fountains are beautiful. We went just to see the sights. The Interactive Aquarium is also here. Any city bus will... More

Don't be shy about haggleing with these people as everything is marked up 20% more than anywhere else. After your discount you're pretty much paying retail anywhere else lol. More

We took our friends here to shop and they really enjoyed the atmosphere, the fake Italy water canals, etc. We actually liked getting pictures with Cookie Monster and the Hooters Owl. Its an easy place to get to even from a farther resort (RIU) as its only $1 USD for a bus ride. Plus, even though the resorts are mostly... More

Every time we go to Cancun, we are going to walk at this beautiful shopping centre. Just for fun, enjoy a tour there in the night. It's beautiful. The price are not the best I've ever seen. For example, I wanted to buy onyx things. It's was at better price at my hotel (Palace). But, La Isla Mall offer you... More

We already have South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island, the Sherman Oaks Galeria, and the Beverly Center. Why would you travel all the way to Cancun and waste your time at this mall? Yes, the mall is nice by Mexico standards, but I wouldn't necessarily make it a point of coming to the mall unless you have nothing to do and... More

Its a nice outdoor walking mall and even has a movie theater. There are a few cheaper shops but most of the stuff is way overpriced. Im guessing they're catering more to the european tourist. More
