Are there any supermarkets or places to buy beer in the hotel district? We are flying in and getting a shuttle from the airport we have the option to stop at Walmart for an extra fee. We are wondering if this will the best option to pick up bottled water and some snacks for room or if there are options in the hotel district.
Yes there are small markets in the hotel area where you can get water, beer and snacks.... but it will be cheaper at Wal Mart. If it isnt much to stop it might be a good idea.
There is a reasonable Mini-Super around KM 7.5 in the Hotel zone. It is in a small strip mall directly across from the El Presidente Hotel. Prices on many things are similar or just slightly higher then downtown. They don't have as wide a selection as the major stores downtown but do have luncheon meat, bread, milk, coffee, cereal,chips,liquor, beer,soda,etc. Also there is a Superama on Bonapak just as you exit the hotel zone. It is approximately 200 meters on the right on Bonampak as you get to the Glorietta(roundabout) when leaving the hotel zone.
