Very well laid out mall with all the usual designer shops. UK prices in most. No haggling. The Istore is about a third cheaper than the UK. Good bars, Hooters and Plant Holywood included. Watch the crocodiles from your lagoon bar seat. Mind your toes,leg ect. More

Structurally & by design, this mall is very pretty - the Italian canal, the view of the lagoon, the sails over your head to shade from the sun, and the cobbled walkways were very pretty. Outside of that, it's just another mall and very americanized. Food at La Isla is very expensive, and we didn't see any unique shops /... More

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
