Xel-Ha is awesome. Spotted a huge barracuda in the water when I was there.
Xplor is pretty fun too. It's a huge zip line park.

Xplor is dirty as fuck. Where do they get their water? 
Coco Bongo VIP. The resorts seem to be the same. Forget shopping because it's very weak. Just drink and eat all day. Enjoy the beach and pool.

+1 for the Grand Palladium properties. They're 4 resorts in 1 so if you don't want to spend a whole lot, go to the cheaper properties and you can still take part in everything. When there, I recommend doing the Segway tour of the resort on the first or second day if possible, I can put you in touch with a guy if you'd like. I didn't realize the salt water pool, cenotes or a couple other things until the day before we left

I've been to the Crown Paradise Club a couple times, loved it both times. Has a cool wrap around design for the rooms so there are a TON of ocean view rooms. Has wicked food and beach, 3 pools to lounge around and drink like a fish, and not a ton of sales people trying to sell you shit...no I don't want your god damn time share thank you very much. 
And I agree with everyone here who's said Xel-ha is a must, because it is, unreal time there.

Massive pool that stretches the length of the whole resort; far end by the beach had pool parties almost everyday.
Also, there were event staff on the resort during the pool parties who would tell you about the clubbing events at night. Buy a $50 ticket (we usually got it down to around $40), meet them in the lobby at around 10:30..ticket covers ride to the club, cover, bottle service, and open bar. Different club every night; few that I remember are The City, DaddyO's, and Coco Bongo.
Not all reviews were great but all the negative feedback seemed to be from an older/ family crowd. Would definitely recommend it for a younger crowd.
Plan on going back soon myself.

CoCo Bongo's and The City for sure.....do as the guy mentioned, go with the guide from the hotel for like $50....get's you through the VIP line, cover and drinks to start.....once you see the lineups outside you'll understand why you want to just pay to get in

I'm a fan of that hotel because its really central to everything. Close to Cancun and super close to Tulum, Xel Ha and Playa Del Carmen as well. If you are a fan of snorkeling bring your own gear and you can snorkel right off the beach of the hotel and its some of the best I have found.
I was with the gf back in the day and we were snorkeling and a massive sting ray came right past us, I was scared to be honest but it was so peaceful and beautiful it put me in awe.

Ended up staying at the Gran Caribe. It wasn't that great, food was mediocre, the pool was pretty small and most the other people there seem liked locals, but that may also be cause of the time of the year?
