Thanks, everyone! Keep the suggestions coming!
I would love to go to Punta Cana, but the flight is the main problem. There are no direct flights from Houston, and all of the layovers for the weeks we could potentially be going seem to be overnight. It's not a COMPLETE deal breaker, only because a lot of the connecting flights are out of Newark, and my bf and I could just stay with my parents overnight and go back to the airport with them the next morning. Still, it doesn't make things easy.

The Royal Suites Yucatán by Palladium
The Royal Suites is on the same complex, but it is adults only, a little bit more of a boutique resort, we took a tour around in our first week and its gorgeous, definitely worth the extra dollar if you can afford it!
Just down the road from Playa del Carmen (about 20 mins) one way, and in the other direction Tulum ruins (well worth a visit the history is good but the beach is phenomenal - about 15 mins)

All of us actually went to the Grand Palladium about 6 years ago for my mom's birthday, and we stayed in the Royal Suites. It was nice being in the adults only area, but still having access to the rest of the resort. DEFINITELY worth the little extra money.. we loved it! I was actually thinking about going back for my birthday, but then my cousins (they're triplets) turned 40 this past March, and that's where they all went with their spouses and kids and my aunt and uncle. Of course, I wouldn't want them to have to go AGAIN. This is why I'm in this predicament!
