I'd love suggestions for a early/mid october trip to the Cancun/Cozumel whatever area. I like nice hotels (example Royal Sonesta in New Orleans, Le Meridien in Munich) but doesn't have to be the Ritz.

Economy means my fabulous St. Lucia or Europe trip won't be happening. I'd like to use the passport so thinking Mexico or Montreal. I've been reading tripadvisor.com but love advice/thoughts from the FT folks. TIA.
