Grand Cayman vs Curacao vs Costa Rica

I need help deciding where we should go on vacation. It will be just me and DH and we will probably go from Saturday to Thursday in March. We want to use our Marriott Reward points so we are limited to Marriott and Ritz. Using points is great, but it limits us and we've already been to a bunch of places so we narrowed it down to these three. We enjoy not doing much on vacation (sitting on beach/at pool, going out to dinner) but we would go on an excursion or too if there is something that interests us. Here are the pros/cons. Which would you choose:

Option 1
Grand Cayman Ritz Carlton

Pros: It's a Ritz!
Beautiful Beach
Closest location/shortest Flight

Cons: We are going spring break time and it is supposed to be very crowded with lots of families/kids. DH spoke to the hotel and they warned us.
Grand Cayman is VERY expensive
We are going to Aruba in 1.5 weeks from now (with kids) and I'm worried that the two islands are too similar given that they are both pretty built up and it's all about the beach in both.

Option 2
Curacao Marriott

Pros: Not extremely touristy
Low key
I know people who have stayed here and enjoyed it

Cons: Beach isn't great
Not a ton going on

Option 3
Los Suenos Marriott Ocean and Golf Resort

Pros: Costa Rica (I've always wanted to go)
Would love zip line and other excursions
It's a very different location than what we have done before and that excites me.l

Cons: Beach isn't great
Longest plane ride
Not sure if our trip is too short to really enjoy it

Which would you choose?

Re: Grand Cayman vs Curacao vs Costa Rica

I have not been to Curacao but I have been to Grand Cayman and Costa Rica.

If you are happy to just lay on the beach Cayman is the best. I found it kind of boring. My DH scuba dives so that's why we went there but there is not much to do and the food is expensive and not amazing.

Costa Rica is amazing. Its affordable, beautiful, there is so much to see and explore. If you want a more active trip I would go to Costa Rica, especially if you are going to Aruba already

I would pick Curacao. It is def on my list of places to go. 2nd choice would be Costa Rica but I would want at least a full week there to do all I would want to do.

Caymans are not even on my radar of places to see.

Re: Grand Cayman vs Curacao vs Costa Rica

Thank you both for your responses!

I think we are going to Costa Rica!! We are going to add a day and I realized that since we ar e using points/miles for flights and hotels, it's ok if we don't get everything done...we'll just go back!
