There is a charter travel service that offers direct air only and air plus hotel packages from north east Canada to Puerto Plata all winter. They rate their hotels on a five star system and people that have gone there tell me that any hotels that are four stars or better are very good but not to stay at anything lower if you don't want unpleasant surprises. Apparently, there are no problems with the natives and everyone likes the country. The two hotels listed by the charter service for Puerto Plata that they rate highly are:
1- Victoria House ( 5 stars)
2- Sosua Bay Hotel ( 4 1/2 stars)

Do you have to go to DR? It sounds like you would love St. John, USVI. It is beautiful. Most of the island is a national park.
You are planning your trip during HIGH season in the Caribbean and it will be a little more expensive. If you can change the date, you will find more bargains. The high season is from mid November until April. St. John is my favorite Caribbean island, but it is expensive. Cruises are the best vacation value and you can check out several islands during one trip.
Good luck. You can find some great cruise deals on the internet. The cruise line websites don't usually offer the best deals.

I've been to Casa de Campa twice on the all inclusive package. We rented a villa and it as worth every penny.

Dominican Republic is on the same island as Haiti, separated only by mountains. My trip to DR was too long ago (30 years?) to be of any help. It surely qualified as "3rd World" at least then.
