Looking at doing 4-5 days of vacation at a beachy location this fall with the SO. Considering doing the Ritz in Cancun, any other fb'ers stayed there before? Thoughts/advice for nearby activities?

Me and my wife stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Cancun and I highly recommend it. The rooms were well furnished and spotless. We had a balcony facing the sea. Were welcomed with a nice cucumber basil drink and chocolate dipped strawberries.
We did day trips to Chichen Itza, Tulum Ruins, and Xel Ha. Highly recommend Xel Ha for snorkeling, drinking, and more.
Spent an evening in a private cabana by the Ritz Carlton's beach.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Highly recommend high-end all-inclusives in that region, but not Cancun. Go south, at least to Riviera Maya. Check out the Iberostar Grand Paraiso or Excellence. Use USA Transfers for your airport transportation. Nice 45 minute, private drive to a more remote and tropical part of Mexico.

Your money will go farther at an all-inclusive somewhere like the DR. I had a great time at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro last year around this time. Total trip for 5 days for two was like $3k including airfare. Would highly recommend!

This was in Punta Cana btw.
