I go to Mexico at least once a year since my wife is from there and has family there. If you're looking for a good beach vacation, then I highly recommend Playa del Carmen. It's 45 mins south of Cancun, and there are fewer obnoxious tourists there. There are a lot more Europeans that visit Playa. (not that that means anything, just saying ...) I've never used a travel agent. You can find nice, clean hotels one block from the beach or on the beach for $80 US dollars per night. Check online, orbitz, TripAdvisor.com, just check around. Playa del Carmen is also close to Tulum, which has a fantastic beach surrounded by Mayan ruins ... My advise it to check out TripAdvisor.com and go from there.
