I'm not aware of any shops at the CUN airport selling any kind of SIM cards.

You also have to be aware that Cancun based SIM cards are not local to Riviera Maya.
There are however a few shops in Akumal selling both SIM and top-up cards.

You may also want to note that in most cases Telcel provides better coverage in the Riviera.

Thanks! I will find a SIM in Akumal.

I've had good luck with Telcel in Mexico and my Telcel card worked just fine in Tulum.
