In 1995 there were approximately 1,470 hotel rooms in the Riviera Maya around Cancun and Playa del Carmen, today there are almost 35,000, and in 2010 there will be over 39,000. According to The Guinness Book of World Records, Playa del Carmen, by a rate of 26 % annum, is “The world’s fastest growing town”.
So, if you’re yearning for anything from a Hershey bar to a double-door refrigerator to a fine bottle of Italian wine, you’ll find them all available at a good price nearby.
Cancun and Playa del Carmen in the Riviera Maya boast favorite stores such as Walmart, Sam’s Club and Costco. Mexico has its own high quality superstores too, Liverpool and Mega for example.

Of course, apart from having your favorite creature comforts to make your vacation even more enjoyable, the availability of tried and trusted products also helps when you come to decorate your new Mexican property.
