What about thailand, you should still be able to get good deals, as they desp need tourism. see holiday for you and helping their economy.
Phi Phi is gorgeous, just check which places are ok, we stayed in Holiday Inn on Phi Phi, it was amazing and I know that the end they are on is fine.
Great diving aswell.

The diving there is like being in an aquarium and there's tons to see. The temperature is a steady 35 degrees all day and all night and there's a nice sea breeze too.
The island is so safe that our wee beach house did not have a lock on its door. BA fly there direct via the Bahamas or you can fly Cayman airways via Miami.
I've attached some piccies
Cheers

It's ideal for a couple - they also have a bigger 3 bed house if you need it.
