Ideas for Cancun activities?

Anything unique/fun to do in Cancun outside the normal stuff? My family and I are spending Christmas in Cancun (Friday-Tuesday). My mom has been planning all the activities and I'm inclined to just tag along, enjoy the weather, the food and an excuse to read on the beach. But it looks like my brother is going to refuse to go snorkeling, so I'd like to have a backup idea if we end up canning the snorkeling plans.

We're already planning to spend one of the days on a chartered fishing boat. We're staying at this Iberostar resort. It's the four of us: mom, dad, my adult younger brother and me. We're physically able (my parents probably more so than my bro and me, embarrassingly). Basically, I'm just hoping for an interesting idea that the resort concierge wouldn't come up with. We're not very imaginative, but we're unafraid. The one caveat is that none of us speak more than a few words of Spanish.

Beach camping & fishing in Quintana Roo, Mexico?

Hubby and I are planning a last minute trip to Mexico. We're going to fly into Cancun and don't plan on renting a car since we're on a tight budget. We'd like to find a beach campground that's along the Caribbean Sea where we can stay away from crowds and just relax and maybe even do some shore fishing. Would be great it's within walking distance to a small local restaurant of sorts or even if it's just stalls. Does one exist? For the life of me, I have not been able to find any budget beach camping information online. I guess what makes it more difficult is that we'd like to be able to get there by bus and/or colectivo, if possible and it will be during the holidays! I knew I should have researched before booking but we got a good price and well...it will be winter and we could use the sun! Anyone BTDT? :) p.s. I'm totally open to suggestions! TIA!!!
