Inadvertently deleted a post in the process of splitting it that asked about if the 1-15 December would be a best time to visit.

The answer is yes, this is an excellent time to visit as the summer heat is gone, and rates are good, and rain chances are low. I chose to get married during those two weeks because my wedding was an outdoor affair.

Regarding considerations of avoiding hurricanes... fact is that hurricanes are so few that one should not plan to avoid them. And may I say that if you are caught in one (which is very unlikely given the probabilities -- for example, Santo Domingo has suffered 2 hurricanes in 25 years), it will be worth the experience. If you heed to recommendations, you will be safe, and able to watch an awesome natural spectacle.
