Definitely Cartagena - historic (walk along the ancient spanish walls around the old city), beautiful, fantastic beaches - take a day trip to Isla Rosario - water is warm and with incredible colors. Most dangerous thing I encountered were hordes of vendors. But - has a hint of danger where bomb sniffing dogs greet you at the door of some venues. Exotic and Romantic (with a capital R.) Going anywhere across the Atlantic requires losing 2 days to travel over plus the day coming back. And then there is the fog of jet lag. Go Colombia - not too many time zones over - relatively inexpensive - reasonable flight times from USA probably via Miami.
