I also suggest Puerto Rico. You can have the Caribbean experience without the ridiculously high prices, and there's lots of history/culture. My friends and I went there last year and we took day trips to the forts in old San Juan, the Arecibo satellite, and went to some parks to see waterfalls and stuff.
That sounds lovely.

And Cozumel is gorgeous. I think you can take a ferry to the Mayan Ruins too.

Okay, I think there are viable options. CheapCaribbean.com has some awesome packages, so I think we can find something on a budget image
