Can I get a Mexican SIM card in Cancun Airport?
I want to be able to FaceTime the U.K. from Mexico so I’d like to buy a SIM card and put it in my unlocked U.K. iPhone (there’s no WiFi where we’re going).
Will this work and is there somewhere in Cancun airport I can get one when I arrive? Alternatively, is there somewhere near Riviera Maya I can go to get one? (Preferably one that doesn’t cost a fortune for data).

From what I can find online, there is only one place that sells SIM cards at the arrival area of the Cancun airport. It's "just before the exit. It was straightforward." according to this post.
You can definitely find SIM cards in stores all over Cancun, mostly convenient stores. The best Telcel location would be at the Centro Maya Mall.
You can also pre-purchase the SIM cards online from Telcel and have them ready before your flight.
It's probably easiest to buy the SIM card at the Centro Mall, where they speak English, though.
