Do you want people to guess where you have been or what?

Planning ahead for December 2019.
Looking to buy a Marriott air+hotel package and use for a week somewhere with the following characteristics:
Sunny and warm
Marriott/SPG properties
Kosher restaurants
Within ~ 6 hour flight time from BOS

Obvious ones:
MIA
CUN
PTY
LAX (not so warm in Dec)
SJD

What else might fit the criteria?

TIA
Costa Rica
Kosher catering available, not restaurants

If you want beaches you can go to Ocean city, MD Chabad has food but you are probably better off bringing your own food.

There is a Hilton and Marriott there. (Hyatt was supposed to open up soon but they were delayed).

Phoenix has some nice pools and kosher restaurants

Myrtle beach is a popular beach destination as well but no kosher food.

The main beaches are in Florida (which you want to avoid) HNL and LA/ San Diego

i got more recommendations for Phoenix. was told that even if it hits 112 degrees in the summer it does not have the humidity. and if you go into thew mountains the temp drops as well.

What are the options in Europe for shabbos if we're going with a baby? (Without being locked into a room in middle of a city for 26 hours)

We've been to Venice already so prefer something else

Is there any place there to eat Shabbos or buy Shabbos food? Or would I have to bring my own?

Took a look at the wiki & didn't find much details. I guess I'll go thru the thread

Eta: I take that back
See that AlephAleph is an option

Just came from there - a week total including Shabbos with a baby. Portuguese Synagogue highly recommended for shabbos. There is a Chabad with meals but we bought takeout and ate in our room.

Plenty to do, nice city, food etc. Also has potential to do day trips to other cities/overnights (did Haarlem, would have done Haag but best day for us had bad weather there, could have done Antwerp but with our slow travel pace with a baby, only really would have been worth it if we overnighted there.)
