Anyone know any of these?

I am also concerned by some reviews that say the beach in the area isn't good, rocky, can't swim in the sea, but then contradicted by other reviews saying beautiful, sandy etc - who is lying! I appreciate weather can be a factor, mid May is when I am looking. I love swimming in the sea, walking on the beach etc, so good sea / sand is important to me.

Thanks in advance for the help - it seems to be a minefield out there!
Ok first of all where are you planning to stay?

By this I mean is it Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel Island or Tulum.

Cancun is a 1 hr drive from Playa del Carmen, Cozumel Island is 30 min. ferry from Playa del Carmen and Tulum is about 3 hours from Cancun.

I can really help you out on some pointers if you decide where are you going to stay.
