Hi! I would say that you and FI should have a list of "must haves"...like for example, if you are looking for adults only, kids clubs, more then one pool etc...if none of that matters then i would say its a good thing to start by your budget and then see a TA and have them propose some options. FI and I have been to Paradisus Punta Cana. we went a few years ago and fell in love with the resort. Everything about it was breathtaking and fantastic! we didnt want to come home! we travelled again after that and none of the resorts compared so it was an easy decision picking the resort for us. You should check it out. its really beautiful
