Ixtapa (sp?) Mexico....just because I said so.

Puerto Vallarta is a good time, never been there for spring break though.
Are you looking to party or just get away? If its partying you seek S Padre Island would be fun as well. If you're looking for someplace different just to relax I'd recommend Aruba or Barbados in the Carribean.

I would be, but unfortunately my vacation this year will involve me floating around on a big ship in the Carribean for a week and I can't afford 2 vacations. -

There's a lot to see and do once you get there. The cruises are fun (casinos, lots of food, nightclubs, etc...) kinda like a big floating party city.The tropical Isles are just interesting to me, I enjoy seeing the culture and traditions of the islands. If you get an all inclusive package everything that you do, eat or drink while @ the resort is included in the price. Once you leave the resort to do other stuff it costs money though.

I don't want to come across like one other person on this board who only talks about all that he has, and how much $$ he has or how bright he thinks he is (when we all know its bullshit), but I've been lucky enough to see a few "hot spots" over the past 10 years...
Sydney AUS (2x)
Hawaii - Oahu including North Shore and Maui (2x)
Cayman Islands
Jamaica
Cabo
Puerto Vallarta
Miami Beach
Key WestHere are a few thoughts:
If you're looking for all-inclusive, you can usually get a good deal with Sandals, it takes some haggling, but they do move on price. If you're going to Jamaica you'll need to pick the spot. Montego Bay is fine, the water is good, but the city isn't too safe for clubbing. The beaches are average or below average. It was cool for my wife and I just to hang out by the pool and drink all day, so we didn't need a hot night life. Negril is a little better party scene, but the drive there from the airport (in Mo Bay) is freaking scary. The beaches are better than Mo Bay
Cabo has a pretty good nighlife, but the water isn't so great, its warm, but not very clear. Cabo is in a little "bay" but still, the water on the west side of Mexico is a little dirtier than on the east side. Plus, Cabo is safer than Jamaica.
If money isn't a huge issue and you not looking to party too hard, I'd choose Cayman or Maui. If you want to party, still be safe, and enjoy good clean water, and something that's not really expensive, I would suggest Cozumel \ Cancun.
Good luck, sound like fun!

dont worry you dont come across like that at all...your input is much appreciated...money is sort of an issue not that big of one but yeah...i wouldnt be goin in the water all that much probably...just hangin around the beach/pool area...i want a nightlife that is available to me but if im sick or somethin(haha) i want to be able to relax without having to party. I just remembered cozumel last night and i am goin to look into that a little bit more...thanks again!
Is Sandals a travel company? Are they online?

Gatlinburg, Tennesse, its always been a dream of mine to visit Cooter's Garage.
"COOTER'S PLACE
If you love "the Dukes of Hazard" (and Americans of all ages do!), you will love a visit to Cooter's Garage. This is Gatlinburg's one and only Dukes of Hazard museum and shop, operated by none other than ol' "Cooter" himself. Ben Jones, who played the Duke Boys stalwart sidekick, is your host at this tribute to life in Hazard County. It features pictures, props, costumes, and memorabilia from the beloved hit television show. Just keep your eyes peeled for "Cooter's" tow truck and the bright orange car with the rebel flag on top and 01 on the doors! YeeeHaaaa!!

Sandals is a resort company - they have a ton of properties and are the most well known all-inclusive. Here's the URL...
I like all inclusives, no nickel and diming. A week or two ago I was at the MGM in Vegas and dropped $200 for a simple dinner - not my style, I'd rather have a burger and a couple of beers. Go all inclusive, you'll be happy you did.
Have fun!

Wife and I and another couple did a cruise last January. Our stops were Ocho Rios Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Both places were ok but nothing too amazing but I disliked Jamaica more just because it seemed dirtier. The Jamaica bonus was that the red stripe beer was cheap there :-D.
We tried to get something setup with some friends again to do a Sandals resort but things fell through. Anyway, I think all inclusive would be the best, you pay an amount and then just have fun, eat, drink no worries. Unlike our cruise where only water and pop was included.

you didn't get an all inclusive cruise? That sucks cuz once you are on the ship you can't exactly buy food anywhere else.

There was a free buffet going on at all times and every night there was a very fancy dinner which was all included. The only thing not included was alcohol for sure and maybe pop.
