Hey Tappy - just posted this on the PI board, so here ya go.
I love Isla. I'd be happy to help you plan a day there - just ask and i'm yours!!

.......you'll need to take a ferry to Isla from Cancun. The are two ferry docks - Puerto Juárez (right in the hotel zone) & Gran Puerto Cancun (Gran Puerto is the newer one about 15 minutes north of downtown Cancun). Boats leave every half hour and the crossing takes about 15 minutes.
Once you get off the ferry (for a day trip) you'll want to rent a golf cart. There are many places to rent from. Gomar is one I've used in the past.
Then spend the day driving around the island, stopping where you feel like it, but be sure to hit Punta Sur, Playa Lancheros for lunch (the mayan style whole grilled fish, tixnchix, is amazing), and Garaffon for snorkeling. Then head back into town and hit Playa Norte for the rest of the day.
Lunch at Playa Lancheros:
The nice thing about staying for at least one night is that you can stick around for sunset at Sergio's, which is really a wonderful treat. Then you head over to Hildago, which is a smaller version of Fifth, for a stroll and you choice of places for dinner. If you do stay the night and want to have a
really nice dinner, take a cab out to Casa O's.
Enjoy and happy travels!
