OK, this is "BS somewhat hot tub related" in that it has to do with relaxation, which is what a tub is all about, right?

I am planning a trip to the Yucutan area this fall. I have never  been there, and I'm finding all of the options a bit intimitading. I have researched a bit on Akumal and Tulum, but we are not set on ANYTHING. Anyone have any advice- specifically along these lines:

We are looking for a quiet, uncrowded, mellow (ie, NOT Cancun) beautiful location, want beach/snorkel time as well as time exploring the ruins. It would be great if we were staying somewhere that we could walk to restaurants/shops/etc, but we'll probably also have a rental car or use busses for other journeys.

Can anyone recommend:

which town to stay in? Any specific hotal/condo/casita?

Anyone have inside travel advice (fly into Cancun or Cozumel? Is it safe to rent cars?)

Any great things to see that we just cant miss?

We're going in the "off" season at the beginning of september.

thanks!!!!!

I have had good luck with http://www.tripadvisor.com/  the webiste reviews hotels, and areas of many many places.

You have to read the reviews carefully and understand who is writing them, but it can help and get a better understanding of the hotels, thier sytle , who enjoyed them, who didn't and what attractions and sites are in the area.,

So very true.

With the travel site, I've found the worst reveiws to read are from Brides on thier honeymoons.  the review is either glowing  (and each morning  my darling hubby Biff would wake me up with a rose and soft butterly kisses ) or trash the place (The hotel is from the bowel of hell, and a disgusting pile of feces, They forgot to provide me with my honeymoon chocolate on my pillow).

Eh.

I found the perfect place in Costa Rica when a lady trashed a hotel because they did not provide activities for children. "Hmmmm. Sounds perfect to me.!"  It ended up being one of the best rated resorts in the country.  ::)

I'm suprised there are Mexican tourist spots are still open.  Vincente Fox came to the US earlier this year, I thought he was the last one and they closed the place up.
