Depends what you're looking for, really. Cuba's good for several reasons: lowest prices (especially if you're smart enough to get *away* from resorts) plus great drinks, great music & dancing, great snorkeling -- but ho-hum food. Playas del Este, between Havana and Varadero, would be my destination. It helps to know a bit of Spanish, of course.
Jamaica's good (especially the fruit and coffee), but really not all that safe in some places. Montego Bay can be fascinating, also the north shore's black-sand beaches.
Dominican Republic's beaches can be fun. Puerto Rico is boringly U.S.
The smaller Caribbean islands have less going on, but maybe that's what you're looking for. You could choose among them based on language. English is understood anywhere really, but it's fun talking with locals.
So if you want to stick to English, there are Antigua and Barbados; the British Virgin Islands offer wonderful sailing. The Bahamas are cloudier and cooler over winter.
For French try Guadeloupe or Martinique. For Dutch try the ABC islands, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. And for Spanish, there are Cozumel (though it's quite touristy) and (more interesting) the Bay Islands off Honduras.
Ah, I envy you going down there.

What time of year are you thinking about? I would not recommend anyplace in the caribean from June to Oct, simply because of hurricane season. To many variables, and even if you get hurricane trip insurance, unless it is a full blown hurricane, it doesn't count. So all the tropical storms which would pretty much ruin a vacation, there's no protection for those. I would only recommend mexico, preferably on the pacific side, or a few islands far to the south like Aruba that are outside the normal hurricane area.

Casa De Campo Resort in the city of La Romana in the Dominican Republic. You get more for your money when you go to the Dominican Republic, it is absolutely beautiful and not overcrowed like it soon will be, when everyone finds out about this economical Caribbean getaway.

Dominican Republic hands down! No resort, just stick to the North Coast and you'll be fine :-)
