Coba ruins, rent the bicycles and ride around the site. Three cenotes not far from there that aren't crowded. Rent a car for the day and you have time to do both.

Great choice! We have stayed there twice. Book your ala carts early...they fill up. You are very close to the Tulum ruins and Xel Ha. Both are great. Snorkle or tube the lazy river at Xel Ha but either way, use the swim fins, even if you just tube. It's much easier to navigate. Have fun!

Walk to the resort gates and talk to the van drivers parked there. You can hire them for half the price as they save commissions if they don't have to pick you up inside the resort. You can get a ride to Coba, Chichen Itza and a cenote in one day easily, much more efficiently than in a tour bus and they supply a cooler for you to bring your own drinks etc. in the van. We did the same thing for an evening trip to Playa Del Carmen too.

Also push back if the resort throws you curveballs if it's something important to you. My brother got married there, and they were trying to renege on promises like beachfront room for the wedding couple, a few other things. Squeaky wheel got the grease in the end.
