Guess it depends entirely on what you consider a good time. A few years back I spent a week in Costa Rica during the spring -- the weather was perfect, lodging was inexpensive, and the snorkeling and hikes were among the best I'd ever seen. But if you're looking for more of a luxury or beach/resort experience, Hawaii might be a better bet. (probably easier to use your hotel points there, too)
