Most resorts in Riviera Maya are spread out and involve a lot of walking. I do not normally mind walking but it is not pleasant when it's hot. Going to a restaurant, pools, beach, entertaining venues etc will make you waste a lot of vacation time. The buildings are not tall and you can rarely see the ocean from your room, sometimes you can be 1/2 mile or more away from the beach. In terms of restaurants you have many choices within the resorts but to venture out you need a car or take a cab $$.
Most hotels in Cancun are taller and more compact. We love Westin Lagunamar for the amazing pools and the ocean views, the location across an upscale outdoor mall etc.. There are many restaurants within walking distance and a large grocery store 7 min by foot.Because of the location, a car is not necessary and it is also closer to the airport than RM so the transfer is faster and cheaper. Although we had been very happy with the resorts we stayed in RM, Lagunamar has been a much better experience for us overall.
