OOOHH - The Mayan Riviera - one of the best kept secrets out there.
So much bad press on violence in Mexico - truly unfair for the tourist sections of Mexico.
Have you seen tulum and Cichen Itza?
Tulum untouched ruins - Chichen Itza rebuilt and gorgeous.
I think the most fun I had was swimmiing (snorkling or tubing through) Xel Ha.
xelha.com 
Xel Ha has geothermally heated salt water below the cooler and lighter fresh water.
It is a beautiful river that meanders along cliff jumps, and rope swings and mango groves.
I got on one of the rope walks with 3 much younger mexican boys.As I walked onto it, they were trying to bounce eachother off of the ropes.When I walked on,i they stopped and started behaving.Then I started bouncing around and showed them I wanted to join the fun.
I knocked two of the young bucks off and the last young kid did me in.
Neither of us understood a word we said ,but we laughed and had a great time - my wife thought I was nuts.
ROTF just thinking about it
Seriously sober up and drive there - by the way they make a mean margarita there.LOL
Shoot - If you extend your stay - I'll come visit - nah I have to go to Wisconsin - but I am jealous of the good time and area you are enjoying.
Be good and enjoy the beauty and the very hard working excellent service of the Mayan people.
