Azul Fives in Playa del Carmen. 45 minute drive from Cancun airport. I go regularly, it's top notch.

Was just in PDC last month. The area has expanded so much. Many great hotels from Playa to Tulum. Most of the attractions are closer to that area than yo Cancun. Are you planning any excursions or just to stay at the hotel?

I've stayed at all inclusives in Playacar. Thre beaches in many areas have a lot of sargasso right now. Playacar beach is one of my favorites in terms of cleanliness and how expansive it is.

Anything near Akumal would be great too. If u r into snorkeling, then find your way to Yal-Ku lagoon and Cenote Manati or Casa Cenote. Yal-Ku in particular is like swimming in an aquarium. You can see turtles and manta rays as it meets the open ocean. Xplor is a fun place if u r into the activr vacations. I am.

My suggestion would be to head south from Cancun.. Playa , Tulum , and a real jewel in Mahuhul....

Mahahual is nice but is a destination unto itself. You'll be spending too much time driving there and back from Playa or Tulum. Better to pair Mahahual with Chetumal and the real jewel Bacalar on a separate trip.

I went in November, stayed at the Hyatt Ziva. Thought it was pretty great. As others have said, Tulum is a fantastic area postcard-esq beaches but a lot of Cancun is that way. We walked around outside the resort to do a little local shopping, never remotely felt unsafe.

You can actually bus your way into Mahuhul. I've driven it from Cancun too. It's out of the way , but the right blend of not to touristy but authentic.I lived in Chetumul for 6 months a few years back. Nice gateway into Belize.. also nice under the radar strip clubs too

Hotel Esencia if you want to go high end.

Akumal is nice and more affordable.

Thanks guys this has been very helpful but I am not driving anywhere as a gal who went to Cabo in December told me today her daughter just got back And her boyfriend ventured out and had a gun put to his head and had to withdraw $800 from an ATM.She wasn’t with him because she knew better,don’t know what he was thinking. Anyway is there a sports book in any of these places?

I like the Riviera Maya better, it's more quaint and quite than Cancun and I like the beaches better. But if you want nightlife and more action, stick to Cancun.
