This is a super special location, right in the center of the yellow City. Is this convent on a hill? The grounds are bare. The property is kept up well when we went in May of 2025. They're doing some rehabilitation of the original artwork that was on the wall. We had the opportunity to walk into the church and meander around the property, it's something to behold

Convent that is close to the main square. Lots of opportunities for photos due to its yellow exterior. Large atrium and interesting history regarding its conception. There is a small gift shop next to the church. There are some people who stand outside the church offering tours but it’s not necessary if you do some research about the church prior to your visit (there are also some plaques in Spanish)

So they're on UNESCO World Heritage Sites Tentative list, I believe this will help a lot to do some upgrades. Very nice complex, with a big green space infront. Detailed work done inside is amazing. Lots of free parking around the convent and there were a couple of guides on site to give you your with all the important details. Road to Izamal is not a highway but a good road, through a residential area, so it will take you longer than you think with all the people and dogs on the street . All town is worth to visit with the color dominating everything.

It is a very beautiful place, the atrium is the largest in Latin America and it is a place you should not miss when you go to Merida

We stayed 3 days in Merida and drove down from Merida on our way to Tulum. It was about a 90-minute drive. We enjoyed reading about the history and they have a lovely little gift shop as well.

Beautiful Convento-Church. Interesting old build with open arquitecture. All houses around of this building are painting of yellow color too.

It might have religious significance, but there is really not that much to see. It is a 20 to 30 minute visit at most.

Pretty crazy that you can climb up a Mayan pyramid just 10 minutes from the centre of izamal. When we went around 11:30 am on a weekday, we saw 1 or 2 other people but had the place completely to ourselves. The stairs got a little more difficult to climb as you ascend but it doesn’t take long. Remember to bring a hat and wear sunscreen because it’s entirely in the sun.

Invaluable pre-Columbian site, however, kept in poor condition. Overgrown weeds keep two of its sides hidden. It is nonetheless one the few remaining piramides that is open for visitors to climb

A less preserved pyramid, from which there are excellent views of all sides of the Yucatan Peninsula. Beautiful surroundings. Excellent local popsicles.

Very nice visit. You don’t need tickets to enter the place, and there is no waiting time at all. The place was practically empty when we came. With just a 5 minutes walk you get to the top of the pyramid to get a nice view of the city and the jungle around.

izamal is a wonderful picturesque Pueblo. Right in the city you can walk to the top of an ancient pyramid! Have lunch at Kinich afterward. Always on our list of places to bring our friends

There is an entrance what is gonna close at 4:00 PM but from the back of the Pyramid you have access all the time and its a beautiful view from top .

Fun climbed to the top! Nice view of the town.

I can't speak for anything else, but this place sells fake jade jewelry. Jade has a hardness of 6.5 to 7, steel has a hardness of 5, so a steel knife will not scratch Jade. Their necklace scratched easily with a butter knife. It's an easy test to preform before buying jade here, or anywhere else.

(Translated by Google) Located a stone's throw from the convent, you should not miss this craft center, even if you have to pay for entry. Very beautiful handcrafted pieces even if they lack explanations. It is also possible to buy fabrics and other objects, but the prices are high, even if they are probably justified. (Original) Situé à deux pas du couvent, il ne faut pas passer à côté de ce centre artisanal, même si l'entrée est payante. De très belles pièces artisanales même si cela manque d'explications. Il est possible aussi d'acheter tissus et autres objets, mais les tarifs sont élevés, même s'ils sont vraisemblablement justifiés.

(Translated by Google) A good way to learn about local crafts. Admission costs 25 pesos and is free for the disabled, including the hearing impaired. Well worth a visit. (Original) Una buena forma de conocer la artesanía local. La entrada cuesta 25 pesos y es gratuita para discapacitados, incluidos los auditivos. Bien merece una visita.

(Translated by Google) A museum and shop, this beautiful cultural and artisan center houses unique pieces originating from different parts of the country, as well as from various towns in Yucatán.

(Original) Museo y tienda, este bello centro cultural y artesanal es casa de piezas inigualables, cuyo origen proviene de diferentes partes de la república, así como de diversos pueblos de Yucatán.

El personal que atiende es muy amable, y los objetos a la venta se nos han hecho únicos y originales.

Hands down the worst customer service I have ever encountered in Mexico after years of travels: extremely rude staff, as in openly mocking. If you must, try the other location a few blocks away... this is really too bad because some of the products are quite nice. If I was the owner I’d check the time and date of this review and have a chat with the man working the counter and the woman across at the till running cards in the restaurant - they were highly offensive. I’ve never left a Google review before but felt compelled to in this instance: it’s reasonable to expect basic respect as a customer, and sadly this was not the case at this establishment.

absolutely the best craft shop we found in all of Yucatan. Genuine quality and huge variety. Properly hand-made to a very high standard. Ignore the rest, this is the best.

I was very happy with the selection of gifts and souvenirs at this shop. My preschooler found a toy that she is thrilled to bring back home to remind her of our trip!

Lots of handmade stuff such as embroidered felt toys, painted wooden skulls, beads and baskets. The hats seemed to be only in children's or very small sizes and most of it was a bit kitschy for my taste.

Gorgeous little store located in a beautiful little hotel/posada right in the center of Izamal Right across from the Convent and park and beside the market/mercado Wonderful selection of local arts and handicrafts with very reasonable prices I wanted one of everything or maybe two :)

Best shop for artisinal craft on my trip by far

(Translated by Google) Excellent place, many beautiful crafts (Original) Excelente lugar, muchas artesanías hermosas

I have been shopping here for several years and it just gets better. Now there is another smaller shop down the street. The dueno, we call him Pepe, told me that he would be opening up a small coffee shop close to the current store.. maybe as early as March. I can't wait. The main shop has so much to offer. Everything from local rock carvings, products from Chiapas, hats and placemats and lamps that are all made in Izamal to hennequen handbags. They even sell Iztabentun! And tequila. It's a treat. If you're in Izamal, Go!

Found a nice scarf here and they had some henequen or sisal fibre hats that tempted. For my tastes, more attractive products than Hecho a Mano nearby.

Awesome place, they make art in front of your eyes.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful craft store located a couple of blocks from the central square. Good selection of local products. Fair prices. All the personnel are very friendly.

(Translated by Google) I've filed a lawsuit against Profeco because they haven't delivered what I bought from them, which was supposed to be ready by November 1, 2024... Even though I told them about the lawsuit, they haven't even contacted me to set a conciliation date for delivery... That sums up why their service is terrible... (Original) Los tengo demandado en Profeco porque no me han entregado lo que les compré y que se supone tienen listo desde el 1 de noviembre del 2024… A pesar de que les comenté de la demanda, ni siquiera me han contactado para conciliar fijando una fecha de entrega… Eso resume el por qué es pésimo su servicio…

(Translated by Google) An amazing place to eat and chat. Inside the restaurant there is a store and a workshop where they make lamps and pieces made of henequen. Very nice, friendly and unique crafts. (Original) un lugar increíble para comer y chacharear. Dentro del restaurante hay una tienda y un taller donde hacen lámparas y piezas hechas de henequén. Muy agradable, amables y artesanías únicas.

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful place and has many crafts and quality products. The staff serves very well and is very friendly and kind. For this reason, I was treated on two different occasions with different staff on each occasion. The store also has a restaurant a few streets ahead, we couldn't go but it looked very delicious and had a variety of dishes like in the popular restaurants in the town. (Original) Es un lugar muy bonito y cuenta con muchas artesanías y productos de calidad. El personal atiende muy bien y son muy amigables y amables, para esto fui atendido en dos ocasiones distintas con personal distinto en cada ocasión. También la tienda cuenta con un restaurante unas calles más adelante sobre la que se encuentra, no pudimos ir pero se veía muy rico y con variedad de platillos como en los restaurantes de nombre del pueblo.
