Not quite in Cancun but not far from it, we went there 2 years in a row to the same hotel, it was very good.

How about Merida on the other side of the Yucatan? It's not "beachy" like Cancun but is a proper old city and too far from the major sites
This hotel is just incredible..... http://www.casalecanda.com/en/index.php

Went last year to somewhere near Playa Del Carman, the resort was fantastic with all the things we needed, e.g. sailing, booze and a nice beach. I assume the hotels are all more or less the same.
The only disappointment of the trip was a visit to Playa Del Carman itself, something of a shi*hole, I assume Cancun is similar.

No, it's like a purpose built hotel industrial estate, every few hotels are shops and fast food outlets the closest to anything authentic Mexican is Taco Bell 
That is true, the Mexican food in our hotel was easily the worst of all the options. However if you want a beach based holiday and the only important factors are warm weather and warm water it is a good choice.Hi,
We have been to Mexico twice in the last year and a half, one for two weeks to Gran Bahia Tulum and the next to Gran Palladium White Sands for three weeks.This was a better Hotel and the food was nicer we went there in June. It was still very hot mid thirties/ low forties and had rain for three days out of three weeks, so not bad. We hired a car for the whole of the three weeks on our last visit. Really easy place to drive around. Petrol is dirt cheap could fill the car up for twenty pound. It also gave us the freedom to go and do what we wanted. Like doing to croco cun Zoo which was FANTASTIC. You could go to loads of unspoilt coves/ beaches and snokel. We even took the ferry over to Cozumel.
We Went to Cancun three/four times as we fished off of one of the islands there but the Rivera Maya is much nicer. Lots to do for all. We also went fly fishing in sian ka'an , swam with the Whale sharks, Turtles, Went to Coba, Tulum ruins and loads more. You will not be disappointed if you are a get up and go family but still lovely beaches etc if you like to relax too.
We will be going back there soon. If you need any further info PM me. Hope this helps
