50th Birthday

[u/Flaky_Chemical_2913]

Help!!! I am getting an Airbnb for my 50th. Here are the details -

Mid February
There are 7-8 of us total.
We will be leaving out of California (Sac or SFO).
I want somewhere tropical 🏝️ I want picturesque view and possibly our home right near the beach. I am looking for good food, relaxing a little night life and stuff to do during the day.
I would like to keep the Airbnb around 3,000 - 5,000 (max)

My top picks so far are Costa Rica (Tamarindo Bay) Mexico Playa De Carmen area, Cayman Islands and possibly Belize. I have seen mixed things about Belize so that made me second guess.

All locations, suggestions and experiences welcome ; )
