Hi all! This is our first trip to Desire Cancun and I'd like to know if there is a store near the hotel where you can buy liquor and or if you need to buy something you forgot like a Walmart or a Supermarket? Desire Cabo had a Supermarket that sold liquor right across the street which was so convinient since they do not serve Crown Royal Whiskey, which my hubby drinks. Any help would be appreciated!

There is an on site gift/tuck shop that carries basics - tanning lotion, aspirin, ointments, viagra, and some Desire like ladies clothes, etc
If you are looking for other stuff such as a specific brand of liquor, you will have to go either up(north) to Cancun(there is a WalMart there with a liquor section) or down(south) to Playa del Carmen.
Desire is about half way between Cancun and Playa so the taxi fare is about the same either way but personally I find Playa a lot more interesting to visit and shop than Cancun

Hi, JC here. I have found 3 Walmarts in Cancun. One is only 20 mins from Desire.. There is also Sams club, but.... and Costco. I have heard there is yet a 4th Walmart. Our next trip we will be looking for it. If you cant find walmart...Chedraui stores are just as wonderful. a little less expensive. Bodega is a store owned by Walmart. Walmart is the first place we go to, we get our supplies, and hit the road. Have a great trip!
