We are planning to go to Cancun over winter holidays. We are 4 including 2 girls, less than 15 yo. I am looking for suggestions as to where to stay? The goal is to spend a day or so visiting the Mayan ruins in Tulum and Chichen Itza and spend th rest in/around water (beach and pool). We will be there 4 days and 5 nights. I am looking for suggestion on hotels as well.
Thanks for you suggestions and help.

PDC for me better beaches
Some of the Cancun beaches have lost
a ton of sand...still nice though
I agree. If you want beach stay in the Playa del Carmen/Riviera Maya area. About an hour outside of Cancun. That area is also closer to Tulum and Chichen Itza.
For hotels check out the RIU's, Iberostars, Barcelos, and Occidentals. Your girls would probably like a day trip to Xcaret. Nice eco water park with an underground river, inlets for swimming, as few animal attractions and a really cool night show.
I loved the Akumal Beach Resort. You can snorkel right off of their beach (which is nice) and it's close to Tulum. Lower key than most AIs so you won't have to worry a bit about your kids not being welcome.
