If you're into the big scene and want to party it up, I'd recommend staying directly in Key West (My wife and I stayed at Lighthouse Court, directly behind Ernest Hemingway's house...when you look at the link, the picture that comes up, our room door is the one on the right hand side near the pool...it was very quiet there, even though it was pretty full). If you want something a bit more quiet, check out Big Pine/Lower Keys or Marathon. One of the daily things to do in Key West is the Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square. Definitely check out the sunset cruises, they are a lot of fun.

You can do a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean in your price range. The one place I've always wanted to go to is Cabo San Lucas.
That's so crazy! When my wife and I got married down there, that's where we stayed. You truly can't go wrong with the keys. I was down there during Thanksgiving and there's a lot to be said for a place with no dress-code, open liquor laws, and live music at all times of the day. We go there often so hit me up if you want anything recommended.

For sure though, don't fly directly in, go to Miami (it'll save some money) and drive down. The drive is half the fun.
