I was at the Barcelo Maya Palace in the Mayan Riveira in January. The hotel is great, the food is excellent, the reefs are close and beautiful and the beach is nice albeit a little small. Very clear, relatively warm water. If you want lots of young people and crazy parties, you have to go into town but if you want gorge yourself, drink up and enjoy the beach, it's a good place. The staff is friendly, too.
As suggested, you to the cenotes, scuba diving, snorkeling, Playa del Carmen and things like that.
