Coming from BWI, I assume you are on an express carrier and will almost certainly land in F. It is doable, but keep in mind boarding will start at least 30 minutes before. You will need to wait for the shuttle from the F terminal, take a short ride, then it still could take another 5 minutes to get to the gate.

I would recommend the 3.5hr option.. particularly if that is the only flight to CUN of the day or it is very important to get there on time.
