We are totally in love with the Bucuti in Aruba but are thinking of going somewhere less expensive next year since we will be starting to look for a house. I'm nervous about Mexico or anywhere where the water could make you sick (but am open to having my mind changed!)
We both would also prefer adults only and somewhere that is private..I guess sort of like the bucuti. DH just heard great things about a resort in DR and I'm looking for some other ideas (DR sounds good to me, I just want some options)
We would like to spend $3000 or less (TOTAL...air, food, etc.)..the cheaper the better. Also, we need somewhere with an incredible beach! (we're not too picky or anything)
and we would like to go around our anniversary which is in April..but we would go anytime Jan-April.

I've been to Mexico several times and have never gotten sick from the water. Just make sure that you don't drink anything made or washed in the local water. Most hotels are very careful not to contaminate anything that is being served to their guests.
You should know that the local water is not drinkable in DR either.
my TA recommends excellence riviera resort. it seem like a good price and all inclusive..
excellence-resorts.com
thanks..I'll check it out
and thanks to everyone for the drinking water advice..I'm just a worrywart about that stuff..
those who have been to Mexico and the DR..any resorts/hotels you would recommend?
i recommend the majestic colonial in punta cana DR or excellene in punta cana Dr...i have pics of majestic inmy album...its also 5 stars, i suggest if you go to a place lik DR and do an all inclusive, make sure its 5 stars
I highly recommend Lifestyle Hacienda Resort, in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. You can not beat the amenities and the price ! The junior suites are very affordable and perfectly located. The villas are stunning and each has it's own private swimming pool !
