Looking for ideas for a tropical style vacation for my wife's 50th birthday next October (3rd week). I thought about Key West but it there is a festival i don't want to be part of. Also thought of the Bahama's or even a cruise. Looking to keep it around $5-6k. Hoping to invite several friends to join us as a surprise to her as well so that why i am looking to keep the budget favorable. TIA

Aruba is amazing and not overly expensive.

St. John and no one needs a passport unless you day trip to the BVI. Easy flights too.

Another vote for Aruba. But the first thing I would do is find what locations are available for affordable, direct flights with your preferred airline.

If you want rustic and natural- Costa Rica.
Romantic and chill - Maui or Kawai
Exotic- Phuket
Cheap w/ great beaches- DR/ Mexico

Southwest on occasion has cheap flights to Costa Rica, wife and I went during Mardi Gras. Had a blast. The all inclusive resorts are well below your budget, 6 days was around $3K.

Second Hedonism.

But, if not, how about:

Rendezvous Hotel in Anguilla?

Lower key island. Beautiful beaches.

No seaweed at all. Travel time was about 35-40 minutes from the airport and our driver had a cooler full of cold beer! The food has been amazing… Generally we are easy to please food-wise, but my wife and I have agreed that every meal has over-exceeded expectations

We are in Mexico now for something similar. We are staying at the Xcaret Arete resort

If you’d like the contact for our travel agent and the itinerary she did for us just drop your email and I’ll send it over

I know her agency is called Travelcations and she’s from Baton Rouge
