:) CITIES : MAYAN RIVIERA, MEXICO
There are a couple of ways to do the Mayan Riviera, at an all inclusive (highly recommended for families)
like the outstanding Gran Bahia Principe Coba

There are also some smaller properties. Esmeralda K should be a closely guarded secret, but we're all about sharing. This place has a quiet beach and an outstanding restaurant right on the beach. Try their 'micheladas', particularly good if you're needing some 'hair of the dog'.

If you do have to spend time in Cancun (one of our friends compared it to Memphis - no offense to either city), 24 hours would include:
Dinner at Puerto Madero. An outstanding steakhouse with impeccable service and great wine list. Worth the splurge.
Wrapping the evening at Coco Bongo's. Don't be intimidated by the initial cheesiness of the place. It is truly a one-of-a-kind experience with incredible show, music and production. $45 cover with open bar is a bit steep, but worth it.

Doing a search of Yucatan Travel our Global Ambassador John M. of San Francisco found this story:
"Bill" from Minnesota takes his family to the Bahia on the Mayan
Riviera for one week. There, Bill sits in the blistering sun for 5
days. He is constantly in and out of the kid's pool [swallowing pool
water] and the ocean [swallowing sea water]. When not playing with
the kids he is usually found around food. Bill is eating massive
breakfasts every day. Soon as the beach buffet opens he is there
filling up on chicken wings.
Bill loves the lunch buffet and stuffs himself silly, just in case he
doesn't like what's on the menu for dinner. After lunch Bill hits the
pool but feels the need to eat a hamburger. He's not hungry but the
BBQ joint is right next to the pool where he is sitting. He orders
two burgers and a hot-dog.
By now Bill's tired and thirsty. The three beers after breakfast
mixed with the two pina calotas for lunch and the shot of tequila
have made him kind of drowsy. Time for a picker-upper.
By dinner Bill's hungry again and there's pork roast at the buffet
tonight and those delicious meatballs again. Bill goes berserk.
After dinner Bill can hardly move but manages to make it to the bar.
Time for some of those fancy looking drinks before the entertainment
starts. Bill also has a big cigar he bought that afternoon to smoke
with his exotic drinks [Bill doesn't smoke].
Walking back to the room after the show Bill decides to walk via the
snack bar for a couple slices of pizza and a beer. Back in the room
he opens the mini-fridge and has a Coke with a Mars bar before bed.
After six days of this Bill wakes up one morning with an upset
stomach. He is not feeling very well, must be Montezuma's Revenge."
