We did a Sandles all inclusive in Playa del Carmen, which is about 30 minutes south of Cancun. We loved it. Quiet and safe on the property, but you could go into town or up to Cancun to have some fun. Would highly recommend it. Probably going back in 2.5 years to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.
^^^What he said^^^
We stayed at the Grand Palladium near Playa del Carmen. It was great. It was 10 years ago, so a lot could've changed. I am not big on sitting on the beach, and there is plenty to do, besides drinking margaritas and smoking Cuban cigars, although I did thoroughly enjoy that as well.
Near Playa del Carmen is a place called Xcaret. Like a zoo/theme park combo. It is awesome. Mexico must have a few less lawyers than we do because you can do things in that park that you will NEVER do in the US.
Chichen Itza and Tulum are Mayan sites that are great day trips if you're into that.
