I second the votes for Xelha and Xcaret.  Your hotel should be able to hook you up for tours to the Maya ruins at Coba and maybe even Chichen Itza.

Answer 2

Go to a restaurant called:

la cueva del chango

Make sure you go to XEL-HA and XCARET

Take a walk on 5th Ave around 7 p.m.

Answer 3

Definitely take the boat to Cozumel, go snorkeling or scuba diving there.  It is so beautiful and amazing.  We had wild dolphins swimming along side the boat that we took to go snorkeling.  The food was great there too!

Answer 4

Well the beaches for sure!!!  However i would find I nice hot Latin lover!!
