Looking for a warm place for winter break with eateries and hotels walk able to shul for Shabbos, I've never been to PHX or LAX, which would you choose?

Both are the same price currently.

LAX  if you have never been

Warmer then NYC is good enough it looks to be in 50's - 60's as a high.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Plenty of hotels close to shuls and endless amazing eateries.

I did. Im getting average temperatures of 69-71 degrees, but all the bloggers say its warm. I just wanted to know if anyone was there first hand, since to me 69-71 isnt that warm to go in the pool or beach

The bloggers don't know better than Google when it comes to the weather.
You should also be able to google the water temp.

Best would someone who went. For example Park Hyatt Saint Kitts is supposedly warm, but pools and beaches are cold

Last time I was in LA no reasonable priced hotels nearby. Maybe I am wrong.
I just found it more of a chill and cheaper to go PHX.
If someone likes action and does not mind a paying little more then by all means LA is good place to go.
