For just 4 nights, I'd look for the island that I could reach in the shortest time from Albany. Otherwise you could easily spend most of 2 days traveling.
What time of year will you be going? Would Bermuda be out of the question?

Unfortunately I don't think you can reach anywhere in the Caribbean non-stop from Albany which means either a "direct" (a stop where you don't change planes) or a connecting flight (a stop where you change planes) with the latter being the most probable. You'll most likely have to make your connection at JFK or perhaps MIA (assuming there's a non-stop from Albany to MIA).
You've eliminated three (Mexico, Jamaica and Puerto Rico) of the easiest destinations to reach. So if you want to get there (wherever "there" is) in a relatively short flying time look at the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, St. Martin, St. Kitts or perhaps St. Martin. Anything further south will increase your travel time and with a 4 night trip you don't want to waste too much time "in the air".
