We stayed in a very nice quiet hotel, Maya Bric, associated with the
Tank Ha Dive Center. It is right on 5th Avenue between 8th and 10th
Streets. Rooms were $45 to $55 depending on if you wanted air conditioning.
All rooms are on a nice courtyard with a small pool and a nice sitting area.
A short half block walk to the beach. The only negative was parking
since 5th Avenue is open to vehicles only in the morning, although you
can get TO the hotel at other times, just don't plan to go in and out.
I usually left our rental car one block north on 10th Avenue. I'll send
a couple photos.

In my research for our trip in March, I had selected Club Med Ixtapa
as the best kids programs, based on advertising and on family reviews.
However, since I have 4 kids and we would have needed two rooms,
we could not afford it, so we went to Chichen Itza (Valladolid) and
Playa del Carmen instead.
I will follow other people's reviews to this thread with interest.
