Another fun day would be to do a day trip to either Playa del Carmen or Isla Mujeres. Playa has a huge stretch of beach and 5th AV is an experience in itself. Isla Mujeres Playa Norte is shallow, little to no waves and my happy place....also plenty to see on the island if you rent a golf cart for a couple of hours.
Depends on were you are in the hotel zone, some private some not so private (public). I read that they are having real problems with the beach sand in cancun not just because of hurricanes but because of the development. We tend to avoid the area around the north end of hotel zone. But matkirk is right about Ambiance Villas Kin-Ha, the beach is pretty sweet there S&M (StacyAndMike):3some:

When we want to romp in the surf, and enjoy an incredible vista on the Hotel Zone beaches and the sea we go to Playa Chac Maal. For a quiet time on the beach, and a swim in calm waters, we go to the beach just behind the Hotel Casa Maya. Both are close to Cancun Centro, making them quick and easy for us to get to by bus. A few beaches in the area have the very fine, white sand that is the best around. The beaches behind the Hotel Casa Maya, and at the Villas Kin Ha are among them. ___________________________
PLAYA TORTUGAS???? If that is the beach where Fat Tuesday used to be, it is terrible. The water is not even two feet deep and big boats are docking there so you can smell the fuel and I am sure it is in the water too. It is plain nasty. Friends wanted to go there a few weeks ago and we promptly left.
Scorpio, With all due respect, maybe you have not been there in a while. The beach behind the old Fat Tuesday is now terrible. Perhaps you can swim when you get far off shore but toot can go out and out and still are only knee deep. So if you see a guy sitting in the water 100 yards from shore take a wide berth.
