Something not right?

Description

We went here to the movies, shopped at Chedraui and then slept the evening here. Until midnight was busy (probably because of the cinema) due to traffic, but it remained very limited. But we slept quite well. Were not disturbed. Internet is also very good from Applebee's Restaurant next to the Pemex. Price: Free

Nice place to spend a night before crossing into Bélize. There is a money exchange shop to get Belize dollars in the shopping mall.
Shopping mall not pet friendly.

Dormimos aqui 5 noites. Todas passamos tranquilos. Tem polícia que se apresentou dizendo que era um lugar seguro, eles passam durante o dia e a noite, tem Wi-Fi no McDonald’s, no banco, no coppel e dentro do mercado. Também tem banheiros e tomada para carregar celular no Mc. Bom lugar para ficar assim que chega de Belice ou que vai a Belice. Dentro do Shopping tem casa de câmbio também.

Slept here for two nights next to Scotia Bank. We felt very safe. The police drove by from time to time.
At the office depot you can make copies if necessary for the border crossing.

Stayed here for one night before crossing borders. Was busy at day and theres a circus on the parking lot right now. Still plenty of space. We parked behind a tree between MacDonalds and the Mall. We fell asleep around 11 pm it was just a bit busy and I woke up around 2am and it was super quiet. No one bothered us. We watched a movie in the cinema to kill some time too it was great. Would recommend.
We had a quiet night and I slept well!

Spent one uneventful night here. The bathrooms inside the mall are very clean and well maintained. Everything closes around 9pm... Even the cinema closed despite having later advertised shows. Overall decent stay.

Report Check-In

Very nice and friendly quiet place, the security guard was really friendly and told us they let travelers stay here as long as we don’t leave the place messy or dirty. Of course you’re in a mall parking lot but Was Perfect for a night or 2 if you want to hang around Chetumal or the mall...

El mejor lugar gratuito que encontramos en Chetumal, el estacionamiento es enorme, cualquier camper se puede acomodar. El parqueo es para todo el Mall por lo que nadie te molestará por dormir. Frente al Mall hay algunos árboles que brindan sombra por el pesado sol del día. La policía y el ejército pasa muy seguido protegiendo el lugar. Baños muy limpios y gratuitos en el mall. El ruido no se compara con otros overlander marcados dónde llegan locales con sus carros y mucho ruido y licor toda la noche. Acá dormimos muy muy bien.

The best free place we found in Chetumal, parking is huge, any camper can accommodate perfectly. Parking is for the entire Mall so nobody will bother you for sleeping here. There are some trees in front of the Mall that will provide shade from the heavy sun of the day. The police and the army often visit it to protect the place. Very clean and free bathrooms in the mall. The noise does not compare with other overlander points around where locals arrive with their cars and a lot of loud music and liquor all night. Here we slept very very well.

We stayed one night in front of Liverpool store. Super quiet and safe

Dormimos super tranquilos por aqui, até umas 22h tem bastante movimento, mas é silencioso e tranquilo. Estacionamos ao lado da polícia, faz bastante calor a noite e durante o dia nem se fala. Kkk mas um ótimo lugar para descansar depois da fronteira. Tem Banco, comida, supermercado, WiFi grátis no Mc Donalds e banheiros limpos.

Super noisy place during the night.
Internet but so slow (Burger King and Mac do are both slow).
We parked closed to the Burger King.
Mario the super nice parking taker told us no problem to park and told us where... but later andres the guy from the security asked us to move right now. Whatever we spent 1200$ in chedraui in the morning and 5500$ the day before (to prepare before crossing border to Belize). The manager of the place (a woman) didn’t care and wanted us to leave.

So I don’t recommend you !

We left and found an other place for free and so much nicer close to the bay.
I’ll are it if no one tell us to leave before we cross the border ! 😃

Parked for 1 night here before crossing the border, outside the Liverpool across from the Burger King (can get the wifi from here).
Felt very safe - police was doing rounds even late at night.
Wifi and electricity in the Italian Coffee Company inside :)
Mall open until 10pm - pretty quiet after that. Nice for a night before going to Belize.

Stayed 2 nights here getting ready to cross the border. In the big parking lot next to Burger King. Great wifi, totally safe.

Huge parking lot. Charmless but practical and relatively quiet at night. Level, no shade. Open free wifi at Applebee's restaurant.
Asked security guy on the parking lot if possible to sleep, and he told me to park in that back corner where there’s CCTV. Not sure about big rigs. Free.

We also drove behind the mall and asked the guard there. He recommended a place in a corner where a security camera could see us. The guard worked until 5 am. Quiet night.

we asked the security guard of the mall if we could stay overnight. he told us that it should be fine if we park in the parking lot behind the mall (close to the casino). nobody bothered us. toilets from the mall available pretty much all night.

Report Check-In

Pretty good and convenient. Internet from Applebee's isn't so good. But if you go inside Liverpool you can get it from the Italian coffee company. There's also a chedraui supermarket in the same shopping center. Not super quiet but not bad.

We went here to the movies, shopped at Chedraui and then slept the evening here. Until midnight was busy (probably because of the cinema), namely where traffic was heard, but it remained very limited. But we have slept quite well. Were not disturbed.
