spring break: warm, pool, beach optional, no zika

Anonymous
I'm pricing out options all over for this coming Spring Break (end of March) and feel like I'm missing some easy, obvious option. We want to go somewhere warm with a great pool. A beach would be nice too, but not necessary. Preferably not in Zika areas. Kids are great travelers so doesn't need to be close for somewhere awesome, but feel like there should be something close that offers these basic requirements. Ideas?

Surprisingly, no cases found in Costa Rica (yet).

I'm guessing the Beach Club/Yacht Club (storm along bay) are sold out for spring break.

Fortunately I'm in my late 40s and done having kids. We will all slather on the DEET regardless.

Zika will be all over the place by spring

Some maps and articles already show Florida and a large swath of the southern US up through our area covered by soring/summer.

But this isn't an issue unless you are pregnant.

Just use bug spray the way you use sunblock.

I'm not worried about myself but worried about unknown long-term effects on my DD/DS and their reproductive health.

Took us years to conceive them due to our own health issues and I don't want to introduce issues for them unnecessarily.

Do they spray like crazy in WDW? I don't remember getting bites there.

It's been around Africa for generations. In fact, those exposed as kids are thought to have immunity as adults.
