Many places. What's your budget? Does that include air? Where from? How many nights?

During peak week? (Christmas thru new years?)

You have to also define "hot" - Caribbean daily high temperatures in January are typically in the low to mid-80's F. If that's not hot enough for you consider going further south to parts of South America.

Honestly, your question is much too general. There are literally scores of islands, hundreds of "great hotels" with access to golf courses throughout the Caribbean.

You have to give us more information about your likes & dislikes, what type of island experience you are seeking and your budget (we need a dollar number, not a nebulous term like "not too expensive" or "affordable").

You should know that January is peak season in the Caribbean so you are going to encounter some of the highest room rates of the year. If you are planning to travel during Christmas and/or New years then in addition to high rates you may encounter minimum stay requirements.

Atlantis Resort in Nassau (the Bahamas) is very popular with families with children your daughter's age but it is somewhat far north (it's not actually in the Caribbean) and can be cool. You might want to look at Beaches resort in the Turks & Caicos - it's also very popular with families.
