Great little shop for Mexican jewelry! Every piece is outstandingly beautiful and unique. The sales rep Monica was beyond patient and kind. She allowed me to try on things without being pushy. I definitely would recommend her. I made several purchases when she was in the store. Unfortunately one of those days someone else was in I think his name was Gregorio. He was rather rude and patronizing when answering one of my questions. I left the store in a bad mood and decided to return when he wasn’t there. Don’t let this stop you as Monica is a gem amongst the gems!

10. Nuestra Senora del Carmen Catholic Church

Reviewed By elabea52 - Vancouver, Canada
Located on the edge of Parque Los Fundadores and La Quinta in Playa del Carmen, this beautiful Catholic chapel is a real gem. Built in the neoclassic style, with its clean lines, white walls and round arches, it welcomes you and invites inside. Once inside, you notice purity and simplicity. There is no rich ornamentation. However, white walls, accentuating purity, dark wooden benches and matching dark wood ceiling beams dramatically improve interior's decor, giving the chapel a warm and cozy feeling.The altar is also very basic, but the large window behind it links to the beach, the ocean and the sky, connecting Heaven and Earth. If the chapel's purpose was contemplation, meditation and worship, it has been met.
