I would go to Hawaii for sure. If you want to get away from the crowds, go to the smaller islands like Kauai, Molokai or Maui.
In the Caribbean, hurricane season is June 1 to November 31. August to October are the peak months so your timing is not good.
The aftermath of a hurricane will affect your enjoyment as well, even if you miss the hurricane itself - flooding, repair work, closed businesses, debris on beaches, and reduced water visibility (if you like scuba diving).
