Cancun All Inclusive Resort Suggestions
Hi everyone!!!! I am getting married June 23, and we are going on our honeymoon immediately after the wedding. (Monday or Tuesday).
We have narrowed it down to Cancun (But are not opposd to Cabo or Puerta Varallata).
We are looking for a great all inclusive resort in Cancun that meets the following criteria:
Good food options (of course we want to indulge, but we want healthy options available as well)
Alcohol (mainly beer, winte, and tequila of course 
Pool (swim up bar, cabanas on the beach)
Fitness (exercise equipment & maybe exercise classes?)
Beach (beach in walking distance...preferable right in front of the resort that we can go in)
Activites (snorkeling, tequila tasting, salsa making, shows (preferably at the resort), hiking, etc...)
Does anyone have any suggestions???
Thank you!!!!!

You'll get a bit more for your money if you stay on the West Coast, but it's quite a bit different than Cancun. Most beaches in Cabo do not allow swimming because of the currents and the water is not quite crystal blue. But, with $1300/person budget, which I'm assuming has to include airfare, any extra savings in airfare helps. I just helped my brother plan his HM for the same timeframe, so I am familiar with costs. A lot of the most recommended resorts on here will be above budget. But, check out Occidental Xcaret, Catalonia Royal Tulum, Aventura Spa Palace, and Now Sapphire. Those properties are in Cancun.

Have a great honeymoon and hope you find the resort that is right for you!
I would shop the major travel sites, because though VIM was cheaper through travelocity, our second choice would have been cheaper through Expedia.
I checked with multiple travel agents and no one even came close. Look for coupon codes. A simple google search of "travelocity coupon" turned up the $100 off. And ebates.com is a legit site I use all the time that gives you money back for shopping through their site. I actually heard about it through the knot.

Yes, I realize they are not in Cancun, as I have been to some of those places. I was just making it simplistic for the OP because she has not a clue as to where to start from, i'm not entirely sure she really means Cancun or "cancun area" and Cancun is the airport you would fly into. Based on her responses, it seems she doesn't travel as often as you or I do, so making it as straightforward as possible for her.
Secrets Maroma Beach, Secrets Capri, Excellence Playa Mujeres and Iberostand Grand Parasio would be my recommendations for an all-inclusive resort in Cancun-area
