We stayed at the Barcelo Maya Tropical (all-inclusive resort), which is a little over an hour drive south of Cancun. Very nice place. Beautiful, 2.5 km long beach, nice room, excellent food and facilities. I have to agree with it's 5- star rating and highly recommend it.

Some of the excursions we went on were:
-Tulum where we saw some of the Mayan ruins. (I give it a 2 thumbs up)
-Playa del Carmen for shopping, site-seeing, etc. (3 thumbs up)
-Xel-Ha, which is a beautiful park containing a huge lagoon where a fresh water river mixes with the salt water from the ocean. The snorkling was very good here; lots of fishes to see. We also went down the river on inner-tubes which was kind of boring except for the part where my wife got her butt stuck in the tube. and I convinced her to abandon the tubes half way down the river and hike through the jungle where we got lost and finally came out to a place where we had to swim half-a-mile to get back. (expensive, but a nice place: 3 thumbs up)
-Xplor Adventure Park where we rode the zip-lines and I scared the living **** out of myself. We also drove amphibious all-terrain vehicles, and swam down an underground river through caves full of stalactites and stalagmites. (I rate Xplor a 3 thumbs up)
-Xcaret Eco Theme Park which was my favourite excursion: great snorkling, river raft rides, animal exhibits, marine aquarium, and a nighttime show in a large theater. (I give it 4 thumbs up)

We took lots of pictures including underwater pics from our snorkling and diving. I will post some in the next couple of days.

Yes it was me I'm going in April so it"s good to know what to check out. Thanks for filling me in & glad to hear you had a good time
