Grocery Stores

Playa del Carmen, which is on the way to Akumal and Puerto Aventuras from the airport, offers a great selection of imported and national products at reasonable prices. Sam's, Wal-Mart and many of Mexico's major grocery retailers have locations in Playa del Carmen. One of our suggested places to shop and also one of the most accessible is Soriana. This is a large retailer with a strong selection of fresh produce, imported meats and cheeses, beer, wine, spirits and staples. They also have a large pharmacy department, clothing, and many other items you might commonly find at a major grocery store in the US or Canada.
