Many beaches along the southeast (FL, GA, SC, MI, LA, TX) coast of the US are warm and mosquito free in the winter. Many hotels offer very attractive rates this time of year for your beach holiday.
No inclusive resorts in the Caribbean have beaches that are totally mosquito free - mosquitoes are found everywhere, but we never encountered hordes of mosquitoes on any island we've visited in our many years of traveling to the islands of the Caribbean and South America.
Mosquitoes are more prevellent after periods of prolonged rains on in arears around salt ponds and other standing waters. You'll find more mosquitoes when there are little or no breezes. You'll also encounter more mosquitoes in dense foliated areas than you will near towns and near open fields. They are more active at dusk, especially along the beach where the vegetation meets the sand so if you avoid those areas at that time of day you'll lessen your chances for a "close encounter".
Also, avoid using after shaves, calognes, perfumes, scented hair sprays, powders or make-up (for women) as the sweet aromas act as an attraction.
You should consider using a good quality insect repellant. Many people suggest using one containing DEET..
