Inland

What you could do is go to Mérida. It is a beautiful colonial city that is about 4 hours inland. Mérida would be a nice base and there are several ruins close by such as Uxmal. Also, there is the route which is made up of little towns that Mayan merchants frequented in the Pre-Cortesian era. (Poc Chuc route, I think) One of these towns is famous for its Mayan huipiles or embroidered dresses. On your way back to Playa, you could stop to explore Chichen Itza and spend the night in Piste. Some interesting stops along the way are Coba, Valladolid, and Ek Balam.
