American added several nonstop flights out of Austin and I want to take my wife to a Caribbean 4 night getaway in January. I am going to use points so I want to book this before peak rates go into effect.

I am globalist but likely won't keep it past Feb 2022 because of a job change. So I want to capitalize on globalist benefits while I can (free breakfast get in my belly!). My wife and I are pretty active and won't want to just sit at the resort the entire time but certainly love a quality beach. We love to scuba, snorkel and hike. Quality food options that aren't crazy expensive are also important to us.

If you had to pick between the 4, where would you go? The number of points doesn't matter in this case. I didn't include hotels in Mexico but if something is worth it, let me know! We did go to Aruba already and absolutely loved the Hyatt there but we are the type of people that rarely go to the same place twice.

1. Park Hyatt St. Kitts
- requires a connection so lower on my list but WOW this hotel looks amazing.

2. Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana
- bonus of all inclusive and direct flight but almost 5 hours

3. Andaz Costa Rica
- direct flight
- stellar reviews

4. Grand Hyatt Baha Mar
- direct and shortest flight option
- very expensive meals
- reviews aren't that great from what I can tell

Thanks so much for your input!
