If you come, some MUST see's are Tulum Ruins.. They have a beach so take a bag towel suntan lotion, as well as a camera.
Also xcaret or Xel Ha. Both are great parks.. If you stay more than just a few days, a trip Via Bus to Chichen Itza is also a must.

I didn't want to fly to another country just to be around thousands of US tourists. haha

A rent-a-car is a good idea. The distances are not that far.
Me and my GF did the Yucatan tour last November for 2 weeks.
The temples and pyramids you don't wanna miss! Playa del carmen was nice, Cancun was too much concrete IMHO, Tulum is the most quite & romantic place, the cenotes near Tulum are great to see and Chichen Itza has a magical "thing" when you are there.
Cozumel is great for diving indeed.
If you need any travel plans, hotel or restaurant recommendations, just drop me an email and I would be glad to share our experiences there and give you some pics of the area/hotels/etc. (my GF studied tourism...)
