fly fishing spring break - warm weather

I am seeking a destination for spring break 2015 (last week in March) to take my wife and 2 daughters (13 & 17). i would like to go to a pure fly fishing destination but they are more interested in sun bathing, chilling by the pool, and good eats. My goal is to find a place that appeases everyone. I'm looking at Bahamas Andros island, flats in Fl keys, maybe even Costa Rica...realistically only going to be able to fish 2-3 days as i want to spend time with family as well as fish. I'm an average skilled midwest fly fisherman, no real salt water experience but I hear bone & tarpon are supposed to be great fun. I'm really wide open for suggestions and specifically seeking ideas on destinations, accommodations, and guide suggestions. Thx!

I don't know a thing about fishing but there's an article in the most recent Garden and Gun about fly fishing and guides. You might want to check it out.

I think along the Keys would be possible and fairly easy to get to. Islamorada. Google for some ideas.

Pine Island and Bokeelia would be great for you, but they don't have beaches.

I would say Islamorada or Lower Matecumbe would make everybody happy.

Islamorada is a great suggestion.
Your first stop should be the fabulous Bass Pro store there -
