Advices for trip surrounded by Yucatan for Christmas?

We will be in Yucatan within Christmas break for 8 days, we are not sure how many night to spend in which city. Can someone pass good tips just about traveling in Yucatan peninsula.
Which cities are must and how various nights to sped on respectively??



Answers:    If you are looking for beach after the first answer is good. (except that Mexican Riviera is typically west coast, he manner Mayan Riviera).

If you are looking for Colonial Cities than Merida, Valladolid and Itzamal are good. I haven't instinctively made it to Campeche yet but that's another city that you might want to check out.

If you are looking for Mayan sites within the Yucatan then you'll want to see Uxmal (see Kaba, Labna and Sayil too if you hold time and you are in the Uxmal area) & Chichen Itza. Also, you find yourself practical Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam or Dzibilchaltun they are worth a visit too but if you are not totally into ruins afterwards if you just did Uxmal and Chichen Itza that would be worthy.

There's also many cenotes, see one of those if you hold a chance. Hacenda's are cool too, you can stay at some that hold been turned into luxury hotels or you can drop by some that have not be restored. There's bird watching and eco tourism to, look for things around Holbox for that stuff.

You can do lots or just sway out on the beaches anything you want. however, if it's cultural stuff you are looking for I would suggest spending a few nights within Merida, there is lots to see and do here.

There's a couple of links below for you to check out.
Yucatan is cool. You are better off looking at the beach South of Cancun. That is kind of a Miami Beach South. Do yourself a favor and buy a definitive book from Amazon.com in the order of 'The Mexican Riviera'. Any action at adjectives will be found in Cancun, true, but the string of beach running south are laid back, cool, and attract nation like yourself. And don't forget the interior. Impressive Mayan ruins. Rent a vehicle.
