Yucatan all-inclusive recommendations?

Hi Folks -- We've never done an all inclusive vacation, and want to try it out to see if a "vacation" can really be relaxing and fun for parents and kids alike.  Our kids are 8 (boy), and 6 (girl), and we're looking to try to go somewhere in the Yucatan.  It's a bit time sensitive, as we're hoping to go in mid feb for 5 days and need to make all the arrangements.  Has anyone done an all-inclusive vacation there that they'd recommend?  Thank you!

A few years ago, we found an amazing spring break deal at the Fairmont Mayakoba, south of Cancun. It's normally pretty pricey but if you can snag a discount, it's well worth it. The food is amazingly good, especially for an all-inclusive, and the hotel quality and service was what you would expect from a Fairmont (so nice!). Our little guy loved it too, especially the waterslide. The one less-great thing was the beach was full of algae, but I'm afraid that's a consequence of global warming that a lot of beaches in that part of Mexico are dealing with now.  

Club Med Cancun is paradise. I've been to two Club Meds (Cancun and Punta Cana) and they were both paradise. They have lots of activities for kids and adults, and most kids seem to enjoy the kid's clubs. The food is great. We went for the first time when my kids were 4 and 9 and it was truly the most relaxing, perfect vacation. That said, if you're trying to reserve in February (particularly if it's President's week) it might cost about a million dollars.
