I would like to suggest a few places to check out. The island of Nassau in the Bahamas is connected to another island by 10 min ferry or a tol. bridge to Paradise Island. There is alot to do there. There is Golf, Casinos, Shopping, amazing Scuba diving and snorkling, tennis, beaches etc. We stayed at an all inclusive called Sandals Resort. There is great food and lots of alcohol. They stocked our room daily with wine and hard liquor every day as well as mixers. The resort included scuba diving and water sports. The Bahamas is a safe community if compared to Jamaica. We felt comfortable late at night in the towns. Please check out online the Atlantis Resort. I was amazed by their aquariums. You can go online to see what they have to offer. Unfortunatly this is a cruise ship daytrip destination so there were days when there were lots of tourists.
I know that you said Mexico was out but you should check into Playa del Carmen. We stayed at a few all inclusives there and it is beautiful. There is a ferry to Cozumel within walking distance. Very nice. Lots to do there. You can check out all of these areas by going to a website such as Orbitz.com or Travelzoo.com etc. There are pictures of the resorts as well as prices. Good luck, I could recommend a few resorts in Playa del Carmen if you would like.
