On our quest to find a good balance between adventure and comfort, we stumbled upon this really cool spot- Isla Holbox. It is about the same distance from Cancun as Playa del Carmen with one major exception- there is not a huge highway to get there. So if you choose to take the more adventurous path to get there it takes ~3.5 hours by bus (don't worry it has A/C) through lots of small towns followed by a ferry ride. Or you can charter a small plane from Cancun to the island for $500 (up to 4 people). The island itself is beautiful, remote, and somewhat rustic. Most of the accommodations have ecological ideals to limit their impact. There are no large resorts. It seems perfect. All of the places have packages to include all meals or just breakfast- so you can choose.
