Dominican Republic Honeymoon Tips??

Hi all!

My fiance and I are planning a somewhat last minute honeymoon (he just got a new job and wants to take all time for the wedding off at once instead of waiting until the winter as we originally planned), and are currently planning to go to the Dominican Republic. One of my co-workers travels to the DR several times a year for work and has stayed at several all-inclusive resorts and highly recommends it, but I'm a little hesitant.

Have any of you traveled to the Dominican Republic in August, or the summer??

We know that it is hurricane season, and don't expect their 4-star hotel to match up to a US 4-star hotel...we know we'll be heckled by street vendors, etc etc. I assume most of this is the same throughout the caribbean. The problem is, we have about $3,500 we can spend on this vacation and this is all we can really find within that price range. The place we're considering looks beautiful (Dreams Palm Beach) and the reviews are pretty great. But it talks about mosquito problems, subpar food (I'd rather this than getting sick!), etc etc.

So, anyone have some experience to share? I hope so!
