I spent a week in Cancun many years ago and it only rained once, on the
first day.

And for good reason.  The water there is really warm and the snorkeling
is excellent.  

Steve, as long as your making it a "Mayan" vacation be sure to check out
Tulum.  There are Mayan ruins there and it's on the coast.  Pretty much
all the other sites are inland.  Tulum is about 45 miles from Cancun.  On
the way you can also stop at Xel Ha, a popular swimming/snorkeling spot.
Isla Mujeras is also definately worth checking out.  There is a regular ferry
out to the Island and you might even find a kayak outfitter out there.
