On a map, the MEGA looks so close to Villa La Estancia. You can even see it from the upper floors of the resort, just beyond that large stretch of undeveloped land. But, I was not that interested in walking along deserted sidewalks in an unfamiliar location, so I told a taxi to the store for I believe about 60 pesos.

If you are not on an all-inclusive plan, picking up some basic staples at the MEGA can be a good, money-saving option. The MEGA store offers a selection of fruits and vegetables, though not the freshest by American standards. You can also find breads, milk, jam, cereal, yogurt, and just about anything else to get you started in the morning for a lot less than the $15 per head all-you-can-east breakfast buffet at the resort. Interestingly, the MEGA store also carried an assortment of Kirkland branded goods.

After you checkout, the greeter at the door will help you call a taxi. Transportation back-and-forth was not a problem.
