So confused! Help with making choice,,,

I need some serious help from all you guys who have been to Domincan Republic. I have looked at Trip Advisor and been to resort websites and read 1,000 of reviews until my eyes feel like they are going to bleed! I need someone to tell me where to go basically. lol. Looking for the following...
All Inclusive
Best snorkeling
Pretty beach
Kids activities/club
good food choices

If you read this and your thinking, hmmm...that sounds like "BLANK" instead of Dominican Republic, that is fine, just tell me where it is and what resort. I need help. My husband does not want to talk about this anymore, he's sick of all the choices...
We have already been to Aruba and Caymans, so would like someplace different.
Going in late June, 2 adults, 2 kids ages 6 and 10.
Willing to pay up to $5,000 with air but would rather pay less. Husband doesn't care what room looks like, I want it to be clean and no bugs...
Am I being too picky? lol
THANK YOU for your help... (BTW , steelersfan that did the trip report about Bavara Princess? that was great! very helpful)

Check out the Iberostar Resorts. I personally prefer the Iberostars in Mexico's Riviera Maya area because they is more to do if you want to leave the resort. I also just like the "feel" of the Mayan Riviera better.

I'd suggest Dominican Republic, Punta Cana.Here are the list of all inclusive resorts below;
Allegro Playa Dorada, Barcelo Bavaro Palace, Barcelo Dominican Beach Resort, Barcelo Punta Cana, Bavaro Princess Resort, Club Med Punta Cana, Dreams La Romana, Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa, Excellence Punta Cana and Grand Oasis Marien. Have a look at this map http://www.thebeachfrontclub.com/bea...ican-republic/
it might help you find some nice and all-inclusive honeymoon resorts to stay in Dominican Republic

Oh another great choice is Jamaica! I'd say Jamaica is one of the top ten honeymoon destinations as Jamaica beaches are awesome and there are many all inclusive romantic resorts for honeymooners, check this site and you might find some nice and romantic place to stay in Jamaica

St. Lucia is also beautiful such as
- Sandals Grande St. Lucian,Located on a narrow peninsula, this elegant all-inclusive is a British Colonial style resort with a beautiful pool area with swim-up lagoon rooms, and beaches overlooking both Rodney Bay and the ocean, with views all the way to Martinique. Like all Sandals resorts, there is a huge assortment of available land and water activities and multiple restaurants to choose from, including a poolside French creperie and an English pub. Guests have use of a nine-hole golf course shared by the three Sandals resorts on St. Lucia.
- Sandals Regency St. Lucia, Officially the Sandals Regency Le Toc Golf Resort and Spa, this all-inclusive property is located on a lush 210-acre swath of beachfront and is home to Sandals nine-hole golf club, with greens fees including in the price of your stay. The resort has 13 classes of accommodations to choose from, topped by the posh Sunset Bluff suites with their private butler service and private pools. Dining choices include the gourmet French Le Toc.
- Rendezvous, The luxurious Jalousie Plantation enjoys picture-perfect views of St. Lucia's famous Pitons and includes a series of private guest villas, a pampering spa, dive center, and inclusive rates that cover water sports like windsurfing, sailing, and kayaking and land activities like tennis, use of the fitness center, and a schedule of daily classes and other events. A variety of meal plans is available, including an all-inclusive plan.
Have a look at this map http://www.thebeachfrontclub.com/bea...n/saint-lucia/ as there are 17 resorts to look through in St. Lucia

I hope I didn't confuse you more, I wish you two have a lovely holidays...after all it doesn't depend on the destinations. ^^'
