What didn't make the brief
Honest read on the destinations we looked at but didn't surface — confidence-building, not regret-inducing.
Your dealbreakers ruled out Caribbean options.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Spanish Virgin Islands, Belize and Exuma Bahamas would all hit your stated dealbreakers — we honored those rather than override them.
