I want to go with my son during his winter break. Never been to any of these 2 but he really likes the beach so I’d like to take him to a proper tropical place this time.

In reality, you're asking a VERY left part of the internet. Florida is a diverse and varied pla....

Nah just kidding, fuck Florida. Hawaii is incredible, too, and I'd really consider it if the budget allows. Also look at Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto Rico

Hawaii has been calling for tourists not to come because it's an exploitative industry iirc.

Like all positions, this is nuanced. There is a lot of rebuilding on hold in Maui due to toxicity concerns with debris. So locals are rather upset tourists are getting lodging while some locals have trouble being housed. Yet at the same time, tourism is the economy. So the locals can’t both want people to stay away from them and expect their money… this isn’t a marriage.
