I want to plan a trip to cozumel, chichen itza, and cancun, Mexico. I want to go during the down time cause I'm planning to see mayan ruins and temples and know it can get pretty packed, then I want to spend the rest of the vacation near cancun just relaxing near the beach. I want to know when the best time of year to go is. I want it to be not as crouded but nice weather, definitely not during hurricane season. Thanks.

Avoid the hurricane season and spring break and the weeks after high school graduation .
Cancun is custom built with massive night clubs for thousands of American kids to come , drink and go nuts . . .
And they do by the 10s of thousands during spring break and for graduation .

I would say September & October would be best.
Yes it is huricane season but huricanes are not like snow storms in Buffalo (where you can expect one or two a year at least). A huricane hits or brushes that area about once every 3 years. That means that the area is affected by huricanes for a day or two every 3 years. Those are pretty long odds that you'll actually see a huricane in the week or two that you are there. Buy trip insurance if you are worried about it.
It is the time when the resorts are the least crouded. Ruins like Tulum and Chichen Itza are most frequented by tourists so if you go when there's less of them around then the ruins should be less crouded. Although, no matter what time of year you go Tulum is generally crouded since It's the most accessable from the tourist areas and cruise ships.
Alternately you could consider Ruins that are less well known or harder to get to. Coba & Ek Balam would be in th less well known category, they are easily with in a days drive of Cancun / Playa del Carmen. I have never seen more than a handful of people at eiter of these ruins anytime I've been there.

the best time of year to vacation in southeastern mexico, is summer or spring because in autumm rains very much,and in winter the weather it´s too extrem. And in summer or spring are all the goods parties in here.
