Cozumel Mexico Vacation Guide
 

Cozumel shopping is always looking for new unique boutiques. Here are our latest finds!
Cozumel's most extensive collection of Mexican Folk art can only be found at Los Cinco Soles. This is not your ordinary Mexican Curio store. It is an eclectic mix of fine artesian art brought to you from every part of Mexico. Just click on the picture to your right for more details.

Los Cinco Soles is the last store on the North of the waterfront on 12th Avenue. It is well worth the walk or Cab fare!		 Cozumel Shopping: Los Cinco Soles

 

Cozumel Shopping is more then just Mexican Curios!

 If you don't already know about it; the local government has completed a complete remodeling of the downtown sidewalks. It looks simply fantastic! There are park benches, landscaping, palm trees, streetlamps, and now outdoor cafes are beginning to sprout up! This is exciting news for anyone that knows Cozumel and if you have never been here this is even more of a reason to come.

Le Chef is one such eatery that now has outdoor seating and also sells a wonderful assortment of gourmet delights, wine and also has a most charming atmosphere to boot.

Le Chef is located on the corner of Aveneda 5 and Calle 5. It is very convenient to the waterfront and is worth a visit!

Out with the old and in with the new!

Downtown San Miguel has see a transformation that has not been seen in many years. Besides the beautiful landscaping and flowers that were added after Hurricane Wilma; there are brand new architecturally tasteful buildings which are now filled with great handicrafts and stores of many varieties right in front of the clock tower in the main square. You will not want to miss this.

The architecture alone is a piece of Mexican art onto itself!

 

Cozumel shopping for Cowboys and cowgirls!

OK; maybe it isn't a boutique. And maybe Rogers Boots is not even Unique! So you might ask yourself; why are we even mentioning a leather store?!

The fact of the matter is that tons of tourists, especially those that come from Texas and certain parts of Europe, consider Mexican leather goods to be some of the finest in the world. On top of that the prices are exceptional. For these two reasons alone we needed to add "Rogers Boots" to our list of "Unique Boutiques".

Rogers Boots has the largest selection of leather goods on the island. From belts to shoes to Brief Cases, and gun holsters; Rogers Boots is sure to carry them. Their hand carved leather designs make these pieces a work of art.

Rogers Boots is located near the corner of Rosada Salas and  the Water front.

In keeping with our theme, we have compiled a list of very special honorable mentions. They are a short list of restaurants that have taken it upon themselves to color Cozumel with tasteful facades that give the island charm and a very special uniqueness!

 

La Lobsteria is one of our newest additions. Last night (May 1st, 2004) as we were gathering our GPS coordinates. Our last stop was La Lobsteria. We ate a ton of food and it was above average. The clam chowder was especially good. La Lobsteria is definitely in the style that rates an honorable mention in, Unique Boutiques! The ambiance inside was just as unique and beautiful as the outside (even more so).

Well, it's getting late and I am going to call it a night. Tomorrow is another day and I think I will start it off at Saint Augustines (Now known as Capacua). They took an old house and converted it to a restaurant and live music venue. It is beautiful inside and a great place to sit with friends and be entertained while enjoying your favorite libation and a meal. Now the building has been completely redone and is part of our feature on Cozumel Night Life!
