Mo, you and your husband should try Isla Mujeres sometime for sure.
Cancun = Miami in Mexico
In Isla Holbox area the water is not nearly as pretty since it is basically an estuary area. Great for shelling but mainly Italians (unless it has change) and under developed restuarant wise unless that has changed. Some people love it though.
Isla M. on the other hand is easy to get to via the Ultramar ferry. Beach on one end, cliffs on the other and so many great places to eat all over the island. During the day it can get crowded with day trippers..... Early morning and late afternoon it is mostly occupied by only tourist staying there and local population. Golf carts are a little pricey to rent but a great way to see the whole island and eat at out of town places. If you ever do go, get a map from the mapchick (Laura) as you will know places to go and things to do before you even set foot on the ground there.
