I will be Cozumel with my five year old granddaughter. Don’t want to travel far from ship since it’s just her and I, but she wants to buy souvenirs and I want to buy some vanilla. Is there a place close to port?

Oh yes! The whole pier has stores, restaurants and loads of other shops. You can spend the whole day there!

Los Cincos Soles has the BEST VANILLA! It’s the only vanilla I will use now. Have friends whom I’ve also converted over to it and I buy it for them while in port.LCS is also a great place to buy other items - staff is very friendly and items are good quality.

I've bought vanilla in a shop across the street from the taxi stands.

Cozumel is the best place to find Vanilla!!! You’ll have plenty of opportunities on the port to find some. 5 is a fun age to take cruising, as a teacher, kids are my heart! Enjoy!!!

los cinco soles in the port complex might be your closest reliable source. you will definitely find it cheaper at other places but you'll also find it with additives commonly throughout Cozumel (especially at the grocery stores)

she will love at and many of the places at the port sell vanilla. if you go outside the port area it's cheaper but I would stay near the port area with a small child. there's a lot of car traffic outside the tourist port area.

I've bought vanilla at the store across from the fountain, right next to the stairs. It's very close to the duty free shop right when you enter the port

Grab a taxi (very safe) go to the mega mart. Similar to walk mart. So many souvenirs everywhere. Don’t forget to haggle! For really great experience ask your cab driver to take you to his favorite place for lunch. Eat with the locals! That was my daughters favorite part (or ask if he has kids and ask to got on their favorite)

Lots of places right at the port , just a little heads up vanilla and silver are the most faked things in Mexico . The vanilla you get from the shops is often artificial or processed poorly I don’t know the difference so I buy it anyway

I’ve been to two different ports in Cozumel-have always felt safe and always buy vanilla -usually right there in some of the stores nearly-enjoy your trip!!
