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
 
The Mayakoba complex is awesome, either will be nice. We did the andaz before it rebranded, but all are nice. For me it would come down to offering and cost.
I didn’t realise either of those 2 are/were all inclusive now, but as Ansett says I’d consider the Hera rate too.
