how long would it take to drive from CUN airport?
From memory, the drive was about four to five hours .However, unless you intend to visit some nearby sites such as Chizen Itza - you may wish to consider taking the bus.
The luxury buses in Mexico are a delight to use and there is a bus depot (Hotel Americana ???) directly accross from the Hyatt. Merida is an absolute nightmare regarding traffic and will also the one ways streets, traffic lights, there is a good chance that you will get lost - and unless your Spanish is good - watch out.
I have stayed at the HR Merida several times and have posted at least one review. See:

My upgrade experience was not memoratble.
Merida however is great.
