PM me. Literally just did this itinerary but more and have a lot of helpful information to share!
Why not post publicly?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Already added a lot to the SA master thread Wiki and hopefully will add more once I get home from the trip and organize all the information for the TR.

In the meantime I would gladly help anyone planning a trip to the list of places I’ve been too (that can be seen on my TR’s plus the two I have yet to write for Cancun/Tulum and the current trip South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Zambia, Seychelles, and Israel) as I tend to do extensive research of any place I visit or plan to visit.

Is there a list of kosher summer programs in the Alps? (French or Swiss)

Anyone have a suggestion for an Airbnb somewhere in the Bahamas, Jamaica etc.
Looking for a private oceanfront house/Villa that has a pool - jacuzzi is a plus.

Did you check the site?  I remember seeing options like that in St. Martin and the USVI, not as much in the places you are looking into

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.)

@shaulyaakov are you going to write a TR?

BUMP.
Anybody ?

3-4 Hour flight from NYC.

Very surprising that nobody had found such a place.

My wife and I only have one week we can get away, the week of Tisha Bav. Tisha Bav is Sunday we can leave late that night or Monday morning and need to be back for shabbos. We have it narrowed down to Maui or Mallorca, Spain. Is it too short for Maui to fly in on Monday arrive Monday afternoon and leave Thursday afternoon? Has anyone been to Mallorca? Thoughts please.

Where are you located? I'd venture to say that a trip to HI leaving on Monday is too short. Sunday to Thursday would be my minimum. As for Spain, don't know enough to comment. Just got back to Panama, that was nice. Consider South America?

Presuming you are originating in Eastern US, both of your options will require a lot of travel time and less time at your destination.   If you love the air travel experience, might be worth it.  But if you want to spend time chilling and relaxing, I agree with @brodes18: pick somewhere closer.
