Just got back from 1 week in Cancún/Playa del Carmen. Here's my detailed report.
Spent most of my time in the Hotel Zone area. Prices were 1500-4000 MXN. The scene has gotten busier compared to my last visit.
Accommodation: Found a good hotel for $25/night within walking distance of the action. Clean, AC, wifi — all you need.
The girls were varied in quality. More than enough for a week.
Food was decent. Found some great local spots.
Overall: Solid destination, highly recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.

How's the daytime scene there compared to Thailand?

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.
