Expect to pay 50% more on ticket/hotel between Dec 5 to Apr 5. Air/Hotel packages would be cheaper than you buy them separately.
No need to rent a car - virtually all hotels have airport pick-up and transfer back to airport. Assume you stay in hotel zone, there are buses running up and down the corridor for may be USD2.00 a ride - there are bus stops, but you can always flag down the bus. The buses will go to the terminal in downtown Cancun, though there is not much to see. However from there you can take a bus to the ferry that goes to Isla Mujeres (Isle of Woman) where the beaches and water are even more beautiful than Cancun itself.
Like one above post said, there are all sorts of daytrips offered by local travel services. Unless you want to go at your own pace, and stop anywhere you would like on the trip between Cancun and Tulum, you really dont need a car. On the other hand, there is only ONE "highway" that goes to Tulum, straight down South - you will NOT get lost. We drove that and had great fun as we stopped on every resort complex / major beaches on our way.
Food costs vary a lot - you can spend little or spend a lot - it is a place where there are wide price ranges and the cheap eats are really cheap. (unlike Japan where the cheapest is still very expensive by any standard). There are all kind of eateries at the malls along the hotel zone corridor. Personally we dont need to look for Chinese foods when we travel, so we found no problem.
You may get better exchange rates at Money Exchangers located everywhere. Always ask if there is any charges involved, and KNOW the on-going rate before you go. If you bank with Bank of America, you can use ATM at Scottia Bank and do not pay the $5.00 ATM fee, though you will still be hit by a 2-3% currency conversion fee, but you also get the best exchange rate - so NET NET, using ATM would not cost you too much extra, but offers the convenience.
Also dont lose the form you filled out and the Mexican Immigration stapled it on your travelling document. If you lose it, expect a little bit hassle when you leave the country.
One last thing, dont get drunk on the street and get caught by police - they can give you big trouble, and some of them are corrupt cops and can cost you big money.
