Was there last March...

We stayed about 30 minutes south just north of Playa del Carmen. That was really a treat. We were not in the unbelieveable touristy Cancun strip where prices are outrageous, but in a very nice quiet strip of beach where eating out was relatively inexpensive and we sought out the higher end restaurtants (and even tried one hole in the wall place too) until we found awesome seafood tacos in Playa and stuck with it for the rest of the trip. Playa gives you decent driving times to the Tulum and Chitzaneetza (spelling is way off and I'm too lazy (sick actually) to look it up).
Always count your change. Without exception even the nicest waiters tried to shortchange us every time. The most common method was to give us change in lots of small coins and few bills so that hopefully we couldn't be bothered to count it all... when the error was pointed out, it was always corrected.
If you like huge waves, stay in Cancun. If you like more mello ocean action, go south.
We stayed at a nice place called Capitan La Fitte. I would highly recommned it.
Rented a nice manual VW for the trip.
There is a beautiful Saab dealer in downtown Cancun on the south side.
