I can't believe we went over 5 years ago - it seems like just yesterday!
We rented the car at the Cancun airport and only had it for three days. We used it to drive to the hotel and then we went to Tulum and Xel Ha the other two days. Then the car company picked it up from us at the resort - which initially I was excited about - but they were claiming that I had hadn't refilled the gas tank and it turned into a total cluster with me arguing with the guy in the pouring rain outside at the resort. I also waited TWO hours for them in the hotel lobby which made me cdranky, because I should have been relaxing on the beach if they had showed up at their appointed time.
If I had to do it again I would just do a private car transfer to EDSS from Cancun both ways. WE did it one way (on the way back ot the airport) and it was fine. I think we used Loomas travel? I think they had a desk right in the hotel lobby.
If you want, you can do into Playa del Carmen for the day and explore the town. We did not, but I hear its lovely there as well. I kind of wished we had just sucked it up and gone to Chichen Itza. It is kind of a long drive there and a long day, but my understanding is that the ruins there are so much more spectacular than Tulum.
