I think we need a little more info as to your idea of a Xmas getaway. Do you want warm beaches that cater to tourists? Warm out of the way beaches where your money has staying power and the people will leave you alone? Or perhaps you would like something where there will be some winter weather? Do you want lots of shopping or perhaps some gambling? IIRC, you live in the tropics? A cold weather spot could take longer than the time allotted just to adjust to the climate.
