I don't know how much your paying for premium economy, but we went to mexico and payed £2600 for 2 adults and 2 teens (they had there own suite) 2wks 4th december 07. That was at the sister hotel Riu Tequila and we booked a month before.
Agree with poe (hi poe!) dreams tulum is a lovely hotel and the beach is better there.
Also forgot to say, they had the same deal just before xmas 08, so you might be better waiting and booking a last minute deal.

You could try firstchoice.com

It would depend on your children's ages and if you need seperte rooms etc. We've used them before and they do some lovely hotels in Mexico. A lot of their flights are shared with the Thomson planes. So it might workout cheaper.

I would recommend the occidental grand Xcaret hotel. Its right next to a lovely fun park with lots of walks/animals/pools and the hotel will give you a free day pass. Well worth it! It's also not far out of playa del carmen/playacar.

Hope that helps!

Oh Yes the occidental is gorgeous we couldn't afford that one at the time!
If I had 6k to spend I would be trying to get one of the luxury hotels and not bother with prem flights, as the seats have plenty of legroom longhaul anyway.
