My trip to Mexico I flew to Cancun airport, and was immediately taken (by bus) to the hotel which was about 120km away.
I think the main roads are good, altough some drivers seem to have forgotten some basic rules, ...
As you leave the airport, the mobile phone (fortunately) stops working, so you may as well leave it at home and fully enjoy your holidays. The national network operates GSM1900.
I stayed at an all inclusive resort, somewhere in the Yucatan Peninsula / Quintana Roo State.
