Like above posted it could be any of those issues.
The most common are Bad radiator cap, Low coolant, and stickin thermostat.
Are your fans coming on? Make sure they are coming on around 200ish deg. Should be able too hear them or pop the hood and watch for them too kick on. You can take your cap to a local parts store and they should be able too check it. If all fails then replace your thermostat.

fans are coming on and there is plenty of water in the overflow/recovery tank and the cap seems to be fine?

Sounds like the fans aren't working.
