If you are looking for gifts or souvenirs, I'd venture out to Market 28 one afternoon. There are tons of handicrafts stores, jewelries, clothing (Tshirt)stores and traditional mexican restaurants. You'll see the real life of Cancun's people on your way to the market. The Market 28 is located in downtown Cancun. You can take a bus or a taxi and ask for Mercado 28. There are many buses in the hotel zone bearing "Market 28" or "Mercado 28" on the windshield. These will drop you off one block from the market. Most of the shops will take US Dollars, but very few will take credit cards. If you can't find something just ask, the market has more than 100 stores and shops. Market 28 is primarilly a tourist attraction and you are expected barter and bargain on most purchases. The restaurants are very popular among people living in Cancun and offer a wide variety of traditional dishes. Based on my own experience I would reccommend, "El Ceja" which offers Caribbean Seafood specialities. Enjoy!!!
