March (spring break) Vacation Ideas

With your budget, I'd consider Mexico (just go adults-only), Hawaii (good mix of relaxing and go go go), maybe Belize? You could go to Costa Rica or rent a villa on St. John and island hop. We have the school calendar situation too, so we just choose non-kid friendly hotels. We're doing a week in Jamaica this year, but have done Mexico, Dominican Republic, Kauai, London/Paris, a Caribbean cruise.

Another vote for Hawaii, particularly the Big Island or Kauai. I'd stick to one island so you aren't tempted to overdo it.

Hawaii-Maui or St. Martin

I second (or third) Hawaii, though you might need to dip into your international budget for it, depending how luxuriously you want to do it and considering airfare prices. I don't think you will get many, if any, spring breakers all the way out there.

Costa Rica? I know nothing about the climate that time of the year but I have friends who have gone in the summer and absolutely loved it. Another not very popular Spring Break destination.

I think with Mexico or places in the Caribbean like Jamaica you will run into spring breakers/lots of crowds. Even though college kids may not choose to stay at an adults-only resort, they technically would be of the age to do so, so you may not escape them completely there.

We did Hawaii, big Island years ago in March and the weather was fabulous. We stayed in Hilo.
