Red face United + SPG + beachy heaven + no Zika

Ready to book my next adventure, but can't seem to find a destination outside of Hawaii or Grand Cayman (been both places, rather not repeat) which meets this criteria:

- SPG hotel
- United flies there (or close enough to there, and then we take a hopper)
- beachy heaven
- no Zika virus

St John, St Maarten, Vieques, everything in Puerto Rico etc all fall off the list thanks to Zika

Any suggestions?
Am I seeking a Unicorn?

I was helping my daughter come up with a zika-free honeymoon destination. I found that all of the Caribbean is out, as is Central America and much of S America. The South Pacific is free if zika. They chose Bali.

In Latin America, there are still some options:

Sheraton Miramar Hotel & Convention Center, Vina del Mar (90 minute bus from Santiago)
Sheraton Colonia Golf & Spa Resort, Colonia del Sacramento (ferry from Buenos Aires)

What about Star Alliance carriers?

According to the mayor or Rio, you're more likely now to get Zika in Florida than Rio.
