We are heading to Cancun for couple of days in last week of June and wanted to relax in a all-inclusive resort, we are 2 couples and 1 infant.

Wanted to know your feedback before I take the call, there is SLS as well but that isn't as tempting.
 
I would personally prefer the Banyan Tree, ideally with a HERA rate (DM me if you're interested in booking). Regardless of which one you choose its worth getting a HERA rate from a HERA accredited advisor.

Can’t speak for this location but in general Fairmont’s treat high tier members far better than Banyan Tree do.
I guess it comes down to price, location etc but I’d think both would be very nice
