Look at how far from the airport your hotel is. Some are up to 3 hour bus ride. That's far.
If it's me, I take Cancun or Puerto Vallarta. If you just want sun and sand and someone to bring you drinks, PV is closer.
My other advice is that there are varying trip lengths. If you can swing it, do 8 or 10 days. It takes three days to relax at the start, and your travel day home doesn't count.
