The more I think about it, the more Bali makes sense. The Westin looks nice. It's about the cheapest place for me to fly (I live in Perth, Australia and flights are like $300 return) and it's close to Singapore where I may need to travel on short notice for something during that time period.

Langkawi still sounds good though and I'll look into Fiji.

New Caledonia also popped up - thoughts?

Is there a big price difference between the Westin and the Laguna? To me, it seemed like the Westin was overrun with kids while the Laguna had more of an adult atmosphere, although there were some families.
