If booking hotel on points and using miles for the plane (assuming you are miles rich and there is availability) then my family would rather spend 10 days in Hawaii over Cancun any day. If you are paying for the airfare then of course you have to decide based on the math.
interesting. I had a misunderstanding that cancun waters are as it's not an open ocean. I was in the wailea area in maui 2 years ago and the water there definitely wasn't calm. I am headed to hyatt regency in kauai in May so I will find out how my 1 yo likes it.
Looks like i need to evaluate whether to go to cancun at all. I had good connectivity to hawaii on HA/AS/UA from SFO area byut cancun is quite tough to get to
