Riviera Maya is amazing. Much quieter than cancun ( we\'e visited both several times.
for nightlife outside of resort stick to cancun. for families, riviera maya is more up market and quieter.
not a lot to do outside of resort for us - hence why we select a hotel with everything included, but for older children or couples there is lots of local activitys including xcaret, dolphin trips etc.
my partner likes to escape the family for a day on a sea fishing trip which he looks forward to from the day we book the holiday.
shopping isnt great - cancun is far better.
cancun airport has been massively improved, far more shops & eateries including TGI Fridays, bubba gumps.

We visited Playa Del Carmen which is one of the nearest resorts to the el Dorado Royale.
The resort was clean and there were plenty of bars, cafes, shops and resturants that were open until after 10pm.
One thing to be careful of is getting short changed in the shops and more specifically the restaurants though, as if you pay in US dollars they will give you change in Mexican Pesos and often try and short change you.
We used the free shuttle bus from the hotel to go to Playa however you can get taxis there at your own leisure.

Alison visited here on September 2009
The resort where the hotel is situated is very quiet. there are beach walks for through the day (beware of nudist beach) but unless you get a taxi into Cancun you only have the hotel entertainment at night which is OK. The young ones used to double up and get a taxi into Cancun for the Discos etc and they had no complaints as they could chill through the day around the pool.

The beach at the resort was poor but I have heard that Cancun itself was just as bad due to storms taking the sand away. Due to the winds etc there were some days where the sea was full of seawead. I normally dont go to pools ...
at hotels and much prefer the sea but on this occasion it didnt bother me in the least.
