Mexico - Accommodation Recommendations

Hi.
Investigating a 10th anniversary trip to either Mexico or Thailand next February - 2 adults and 2 daughters aged 6 and 9.
Looking for some advice for Mexico please.
Originally, the plan was to split the time between Playa del Carmen and Isla Mujeres, with a possible 3 nights in Oaxaca on the way home.
Now though, I'm beginning to think we should stay somewhere with a proper kids club for the second week to avoid boredom.

The first week we're planning to stay at Mahekal in Playa del Carmen - mix of doing stuff and chilling out, a few day trips etc.
Wondering if anyone could recommend a hotel for the second week that has a good kids club with a program of activities (rather than just a room with some "stuff" in it)?
Anywhere around the Cancun/Riviera Maya area in general.
We won't be doing all inclusive at Mahekal (so we can try the restaurants in Playa) but I imagine we'll have to book somewhere all inclusive to get the kids club we're looking for the second week.
Ideally looking to spend 2-2.5K max for the week. Biggest priorities are the kids club and somewhere with reasonably good food if possible.
I'm going research blind.

Really appreciate any advice

I've stayed at the Riu Costa Mujeres and we loved it. Great beach, loads of pools, full access to the facilities at their Dunamar next door including the water park. There was entertainment but we didn't go so couldn't comment. The main AI buffet was very good, the A La Cartes not so much. Had a great coffee shop and loads of watersports The whole hotel was immaculate, the staff were so friendly couldn't do enough for you. Nothing nearby though.
