One thing about the Occidental Grand Xcaret -- it is not beachfront. It has a swimming lagoon, but not an actual beachfront. I know some people go there not knowing that. However, some people enjoy being near the Xcaret park.

We typically stay at the Riu Palaces. They are amazing. But, the Playacar area of Playa del Carmen has terrible beach conditions right now. We're going to either the Barcelo complex(farther away from Cancun, but AWESOME beach) or the Iberostar Maya in Puerto Morelos (closer to Cancun). But, there have also been some very good reviews about the Gran Bahia complex.

We live on the beach, and I didn't think about that. *LOL* We lived at the pools there.
