I've been to Miami, Daytona, Key West. Looking for something new. My goal for this vacation is to really do very little except be by the pool, get tanned, drunk and laid. So I don't need a lot of activities to keep me content, what I need is a true vacation to simply relax and do nothing.

Doing nothing means no webinars. That means getting off the grid. Go to Asia. This is expensive but you feel like you've actually gotten away from it all even though the internet if fine. Koh Samui Resort | Thailand Resort | Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui

Most importantly, no phone calls back to the US.

not the cheapest, but should fit what you're looking for.

Unfortunately, that isn't realistic. I'm a single person business, I have responsibilities to the site and have to be available at least once a day by email to take care of people. But trust me, it will be minimal

A trip to Eurasia will come a bit later, I think I have a few friends I could possibly stay with on the forum in several countries

This is expensive

I'm figuring somewhere around $1,500 to $2,000 in dog boarding, another 2k in air travel, and 5-8k in hotel costs already That's my max budget, hopefully I will do it for half that or even less. But the goal is to be buzzed 24/7, so get ready for some fun webinars...

Forget doing Miami tour style like a guy who saved 10 years to come here and got off the
plain with a Tommy Bahama shirt.

Here are some hotels where you will do nothing and enjoy the "view" you are after.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach
South Beach Hotels: One of the Best Miami Hotels | Delano Hotel Miami
Loews Miami Beach Hotel | Hotel in Miami Beach | Loews Hotels - Loews
Miami Beach Hotels | W South Beach

They are near , clubs, spas, restaurants, etc
Mike, I am TRYING to find an excuse to get out of the house and your are not helping..."I have a friend BIG MIKE..."LOL

Where ever you choose I wish you nothing but a relaxing time.

Take a 30-45 days singles world cruise, it is all views, pools, more views, food, drinks, and visiting exotic places.

I considered that, but in my experience it would be mostly older adults as usually young adults can't afford to do such things or be off work that long. I would rather not be surrounded by seniors.

If you have a particular cruise in mind where you think it is young adults let me know please.

There don't appear to be many all inclusive resorts in Hawaii, eh @Private Banker? I don't want a romantic getaway or even an action packed one, so perhaps Hawaii isn't the right choice this time anyway.
