Trying to plan warm weather December vacation...any ideas?

I just got back from Aruba. Very kid-friendly with plenty of activities for kids and adults there. It's a pretty small island that's got very gentle waters on the southern side while more energetic waves on the north. Plenty of Wendys/ Dunkin Donuts/ Starbucks there if the kids prefer that. They even have a (shudder) Fridays.
