Aruba and Curacao should be fine but Mexico seems like way more fun

Anyone from the Caribbean? Mexico, Bahamas, Dominican etc? How is it there now? Dangerous to visit for a holiday with all the hurricanes now? I never been there so please forgive me if I'm talking crap here...

Which hotel/resort/country/island would you recommend to visit?

Price isn't an issue, I just wanna have a great vacation there with NO WORRIES at all. Just wanna go swimming with dolphins, maybe diving, drinking a few beers in a disco at night (preferable at the resort) and nice beaches/palm trees etc.

What should I book?

Thanks for your help!
Mike
Though it sounds like you've already counted Mexico out, incase you haven't I would advise you not to go there. I was in Puerto Vallarta 5 or 6 years ago and it was a complete hell hole. Thank God we stayed at the Westin, it was a great hotel, but as soon as you walked off the property it was like you were magically transported to the ghetto. Although if you want to not leave the hotel property, I say go for it. Try the pizza in the pool, its good.

If money truly isn't an option check out Bora Bora. The rooms average around $1000 per night, but look at the place.
