Tulum, part of the Rivieira Maya, is an easy 3.5 hr flight from New York and then a 1.5hr drive.
FLY direct to Cancun with a choice of airlines. We flew with American using miles.
TRANSFER to your hotel depending on how active you're going to be. Driving is very easy - the airport is right on the motorway and hugs the coast very close to all the resorts. And cars are very cheap at around $20 per day. If you don't plan on leaving your hotel, then take a cab.
STAY
In Tulum we stayed at The Mezzanine which is at the north end of the town. Nice accommodation with friendly staff and a cool vibe. We stayed in the nicest room with a balcony and view for $260 per night. The issue with Tulum is its pricey for what it is. Either stay cheap at around $100 per night for a non AC hut on the beach. Or pay up to $400 for somewhere like Be Tulum for swankier digs.
Further up the coast we stayed at the Banyan Tree Mayakoba. Half way between the airport and Tulum. All are villas with private pools. Pure luxury but at a cost of $415 per night. Top notch accommodations, staff, food etc. Highly recommend it.
EAT at Hartwood. Owned and run by the same team at Vinegar Hill House in Brooklyn, truly great food
DO snorkel in a cenote - an underwater cave. Also visit the Mayan ruins. But note it gets very hot
